Social Bubble Man's Jacuzzi (Mega Man Social Thread)

[SimonBarSinister]

Mega Man doesn't really work well for me. After playing All-Star Mode with him the other day, it just feels like he's way too advanced for me to use properly.

Ironically, a level 7 Mega Man did give me a run for my money.

Mega Man was the first character I used in All-Star mode, it was pretty easy IMO. Mega Man is a character you really have to want to use, otherwise it might go south quickly when you're trying to use him. If it helps, just imagine you're playing a Mega Man game. That's what it feels like to me.

Robot Master Battle #1 Who would win, and why?

Fire Man

Vs

Heat Man

Looks like it's worth a mention as it's high level play against more than likely, higher tiered characters.

You are 100% laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame and you need to buy the comics and support the god that is Ian Flynn.

Nah. 'Continues to Wiki'
(But in all seriousness, I'm think about getting them.)

 

[GHNeko]

Fire Man

Vs

Heat Man

Fire Man! Because, um... He's cooler.

 

[GHNeko]

Probably heat man because fireman only has projectiles and heatman's tackle is safe from projectiles. Fireman also isnt as agile as heatman.

I guess I just suck with Mega Man then.

Thanks for this.

 

[Z1GMA]

I believe Heat Man woud win. He's beyond hot.
Even though Fire Man uses fire himself, he can't handle the tempratures Heat Man possesses.

6:49 of first vid "SHOOOORYUUKEN!!" made me laugh.

Anybody else run into people on For Glory who switch to a MM ditto after you body their other char? I ran into like 4 in a row last night.

It annoys me for some reason.

They probably think you beat them in a cheap way with megs and want to return the favour.
Either that, or they simply wanna ditto.

 

[Fenrir VII]

I mean... I use projectiles and such... but wouldn't call myself "cheap".

Just feels like a salty runback everytime.

 

[GHNeko]

There was this one time I came across a Mega in For Glory. He wasn't bad. He was definitely less experienced at competitive Smash than me.

He started the match with reckless Fair and Bair approaches but wasn't terribly stupid with them. It took me until I started punishing his landings with USmash OOS to get him to stop. Instead he'd wait instead of bair on landing and punish me with a grab if I Usmashed OoS.

He kept a general aggressive air strategy, but slowly calmed down after he'd lose repeatedly to my more patient, projectile-based playstyle. He eventually started to win matches against me as he adapted to me and the fights got pretty heated. I sill won a majority of them though but he definitely forced me to adapt and think more about my strategy.

We'd even invoke gentlemen's rule and SD after the other SD'd on first stock. At some point, I was getting him with a lot of deep edgeguards (which is where I clearly shined in 3 hours of playing him. That and deep recoveries.)

So at one point I ran off the stage and started doing walljump aerials to show him a way of edgeguarding and he just kinda stood there watching, and started practicing them himself.

He tried to use them in later matches so that was neat to see.

Eventually the lag got so bad so he left, but it was a fun 3 hours.


In terms of people getting salty over my Mega. They tend to go Mario/Villager/Fox in order to counter what they feel is projectile spam.

Little do they know, I actually know how to play a minimalist projectile game with Mega lel.

 

[Fenrir VII]

Yeah contrary to popular belief, mega man is not all that reliant on strong projectiles. And the ones he uses other than fsmash really aren't that useful if caught / reflected. I can completely forgo projectiles other than jab and have success.

 

[GHNeko]

He's built around buster shots, but nothing else. Which makes sense. That's how Mega is.

And lemons arent something you can just really ignore with half-baked reflector counter schemes.

I mean even against Ness's absorb. If he starts to absorb a pellet, he's committed to it until he can let go.

We can approach while we shoot pellets. And our buster has a hitbox that has great KB and starts setting ness up to get gimped.

We are the kings of lemonade. We just give people cups full of sweet lemon goodness and tell them to HOLD DAT.

And if they dont like it, we give them a straw and tell them to suck it up.

 

[Fenrir VII]

Kings of lemonade for my favorite new way to describe this board.

I demand that this thread title be changed to "The Kings of Lemonade".

I second this for its hilarity. Do you mind, @ Z1GMA ?

Also, I'll be at APEX this coming January guys and I'll be entering as Mega. If any of you are attending, say hello, and let's get a group Mega photo.

 

[GHNeko]

i mighte be goooingggggg

EDIT: I just played against a ganon.

holy crap that MU is so polarizing.

ganon side b is literally worthless

I don't think I'd say worthless, but it's really hard to land.
Been playing more Ganon recently and Ganon has a lot of trouble getting hits in, and if he does he has to make them count.
On the plus side, Ganon's Ftilt will kill fairly early and is pretty easy to land.

 

[GHNeko]

Nonono

the difficulty of landing it doesnt matter

you use side b for the damage and its follow ups and positional advantage. but when the 2nd 2 are nullified, what's the point.

Do you mean because of ground techs? Those definitely hurt, but you can still follow up if you guess where they are going to tech (AKA same as in Brawl except with less time to act so less options to follow up if you guess right, and the opponent has a lot more options since they can just not tech... *Sigh* That nerf hurts...).

 

[Z1GMA]

@ fromundaman , do you still play a lot of Ganon? I mean a lot.

 

[fromundaman]

@ fromundaman , do you still play a lot of Ganon? I mean a lot.

Probably not as much as you, but he is steadily becoming my 3rd after Megaman and Pac Man (As much as I love Rosalina, I am not as good with her as I want to be), and I have used him in tournament. In total my 3DS is telling me I've used him 150-ish games so far out of about 900-ish total.


Please correct me if I'm wrong on something; it can only help me.

 

[GHNeko]

Megaman can rush cancel ganon's side b indefinitely.

Megaman will NEVER hit the ground.

Ever.

I feel like a villian every time I do it.

 

[ぱみゅ]

That is, if Ganon ever connects a Flame Choke. Proper Camping shouldn't allow hit to get that close.

 

[GHNeko]

It shouldnt, but I was testing out things.

Daaaaaamn... I didn't know that.

RIP Ganon: You were never allowed to live.

I have yet to run into another MM user, at least in For Glory. I usually fight a lot of Macs online.

 

[Knight Dude]

Robot Master Battle #1 Who would win, and why?

Fire Man

Vs

Heat Man

Probably Heat Man. He does have that dash attack. Though Fire Man has the better design. Flame Man beats both of them if you ask me.

 

[SimonBarSinister]

Robot Master Battle #1 Who would win, and why?

Fire Man

Vs

Heat Man

I'd give it to Heat Man. He can practically make it rain fire. That and his invincible dash attack.

 

[Knight Dude]

There's a lot of water based Robot Masters too. So would the next match up involve two of them? Maybe Bubble Man vs Wave Man or something. Just throwing out some suggestions.

 

[Z1GMA]

Bubble Man

Vs

Wave Man

 

[Knight Dude]

Bubble Man

Vs

Wave Man

I know I was the one to suggest this fight, but I guess I can answer it anyway. Despite having one of the goofier themes of Robot Masters, I'm giving it to Bubble Man.

Wave Man is kind of slow as it is. And Bubble Man a couple more moves to work with if I'm not mistaken. What with the Torpedoes and all. Though it's been a while since I've seen Mega Man 5 stuff.

 

[Gamegenie222]

So I've been playing Mega-Man alot more but he's gonna get some taking used to for me. Also how do you guys deal with people constantly up in your grill against characters like Shiek, ZSS and Little Mac.

 

[BromVanBrunt]

So I've been playing Mega-Man alot more but he's gonna get some taking used to for me.

He takes getting used to for everybody. I'd say that Mega Man is hands-down the hardest character in the game to learn. His play style is just so radically different from every other character.

Also how do you guys deal with people constantly up in your grill against characters like Shiek, ZSS and Little Mac.

...Seriously, lemons do work in this game.They are a fantastic way to create space.

Also, hello, all. Fellow Mega Man main, scrub tier, wandering his way over from /r/crazyhand.

 

[SimonBarSinister]

Robot Master Battle #2 Who would win, and why?

Bubble Man

Vs

Wave Man

Hmm...that spear gun looks like it could cause some damage, and Wave Man could possibly protect himself from Bubble Man's torpedoes using his Water Wave.

 

[Knight Dude]

So, you guys have a favorite Wily fight? I'm not sure if I have one. Maybe the Mega Man 3 Wily fight.

 

[Diamond Octobot]

So, you guys have a favorite Wily fight? I'm not sure if I have one. Maybe the Mega Man 3 Wily fight.

Mega man 2 or 9. 2 for the Alien, and 9 for the epic theme. Dino Wily ftw !
