DISCLAIMER: This is a moveset analysis.
-Neutral-A, Forward Tilt, and Neutral-Air: Mega Buster (AKA: Lemon Cannon)
This is Mega Man's most basic weapon. It can be fired in groups of up to three, and then there is a short pause before you can fire again. It does 1-2% per hit with a short hitstun effect. Interestingly enough, if you hit an enemy while they are right in front of you, it causes a small amount of actual knockback.
-Up-Tilt: Mega Upper:
This is a powerful uppercut Mega Man delivers extremely quickly. The damage and knockback is especially powerful if you hit the opponent while they are directly next to you. Does 17%.
-Down-Tilt: Slide
A basic sliding kick. Does about 6-7% damage with medium mostly-vertical knockback.
-Dash Attack: Top Spin
This is one of my more favorite attacks. Mega Man spins forward with a tornado around him, doing multi-hits with a finishing hit that has medium knockback, usually knocks down the opponent when they land. Does about 10% if you hit them with the full attack.
-Forward-Air: Flame Sword
A low-knockback, low-damage, but quick downward swipe with a fire blade. Does 7-8%.
-Back-Air: Slash Claw
An extremely fast two-hit slice behind MM. Can do up to 10% with medium knockback if you 'sweetspot' it.
-Up-Air: Air Shooter
A good attack for comboing, Air Shooter is a upwards-shot tornado that traps opponents in place, continually hitting them. (Hard to say the amount of damage, since it depends on how long they're in the tornado)
-Down-Air: Hard Knuckle
A slow but powerful short-range projectile shot downwards with force. Is a meteor smash. Does around 13% damage. (Interesting Fact: If you hit an opponent while they are inside of you, the knockback is sideways instead of downwards. Also, this move stalls you in midair for a moment, so you can actually gain a bit of horizontal distance with the startup)
-Neutral Special: Metal Blade
Sadly, all of Mega Man's default specials, aside from his Up Special, suck. This one fires a Metal Blade in any of 8 directions, you hit a direction right after MM reachs behind him to grab the blade. Does about 6%. A nice thing about this though, is that it does pierce.
-Side Special: Crash Bomber
This one fires a bomber straight to the side that sticks opponents and walls before detonating a few seconds later. Does about 8%. The bomb can be transferred between players by contact, so watch out! It should also be noted that only one bomb can be onscreen at a time.
-Up Special: Rush Coil
This move summons Mega Man's best friend, Rush the Dog, to bounce him upwards with a spring in his back. Opponents can also bounce off of Rush as well!
-Down Special: Leaf Shield
Probably Mega Man's worst default special, Leaf Shield spawns a spinning shield made of four leaves around Mega Man. Each leaf will block one projectile, and you can fire the shield with another press of pretty much any button. The main problems with this move are it's slow startup and the fact that you can't even use Rush Coil when it's active. It's also extremely weak, doing only 2-3% damage.————-------------------------------------

A powerful, multi-hit attack that does between 13-24%, depending on how much it's charged. High vertical knockback on the last hit.
