Can I just say how underused leaf shield is to most Megaman mains in this meta? (link to video at end)
I have played Nairo in his online tournaments, and I know Nairo is just having fun doing these tournaments, and everyone is too. and in this fun, I have used leaf shield technology and have taken a lead on Nairo getting him to high percents while I was still in the beginning digits. I ended up taking the first stock.
It was pretty cool how much leaf shield helped me take the lead and keep the lead, but as most megaman mains know, we suffer in the final moments to close out a stock, and Nairo ended up beating me.
Kudos to Nairo.
There was one Megaman called SonicMega at the Paragon event 9/5 and he used leaf shield to gain him major advantage in his matches. He beat a Shiek and a Yoshi player using this leaf shield technology. He was dominant in the shiek MU and was almost dominant against the Yoshi, considering Yoshi can outcamp us with eggs, but he managed the W and is in winners side of his bracket.
So what's the leaf shield technology?
I'm talking about the use of leaf shield to cover your opponent's landing on the stage. When you pop up your opponent with a grab, smash attacks, tilts, item throws, and they get thrown in the air, activate leaf shield, walk or run where they are about to land, shield or be at close range enough to chip them with a petal, this should lead your opponent to get hit and be in hitstun and this gives the perfect opportunity for grabs to throws to aeiral follow ups.
and guess what?
You can do it again. Rinse and repeat with leaf shield. And you can get creative and use tilts or smash attacks or condition your opp and get them offstage and leaf footstool them. I tried this on some people on For Glory. I got a JV3.
Ok, I'm hyping the leaf shield technology a bit too much. the tech is not without its flaws. But it can be a momentum changer in a match. And to the Megaman mains, this isn't new tech as it was already discovered, but it is very underutilized and its one of Megaman's best moves and this can definitely help grow Megaman's meta even further.
Video of this leaf shield technology: I specifically time stamped the past broadcast twitch link, so if you click on it, it will immediately take you to my match against Zucco, who is an amazing player and does body me consistently, but I gave him a run for his money in this match :b. http://www.twitch.tv/vitaminzk/v/12968837?t=41m41s
