I personally haven't seen this, but that sounds pretty cool. Problem is HP-FLUDD can be air-dodged on reaction (which is the same reason why Default FLUDD has issues with edgeguarding). This should only really happen if Mario catches you performing a move for whatever reason.
its was really old though. like 3ds days old but i still remember it. if you want the link i could show you.
What makes the game look bad was m2k vs zero at Apex. That makes the game look ridiculously bad.
Eh, I was legitimately laughing when the audience was chanting out the hoo-hahs. And Zero playing to the audience with Captain Falcon was fun.
Metal Blade I think is slightly better overall, but Shadow Blade is pretty close and lets you play Megaman very differently, which might make him better suited for more aggressive playstyles. All of Megaman's down b's are decent and have their uses. Hyper Bomb is really interesting but hard to use, and I'm not sure whether it's a gimmick or has some legit use. All of Megaman's Side b's are usable, but Danger Wrap is probably the best. Rush generally seems like the best recovery overall. Tornado Hold has some neat uses and can serve as an anti-juggle tool with the hitbox covering below you, but sacrifices some recovery. Beat leaves you more vulnerable than the other two options, and is only good for really deep edgeguarding, but is generally not worth it.
Not a Megaman main now, though I did experiment with him quite a bit during the 3DS era. Mainly I use his aerial mobility and mixups off of Rush Coil to land. Rush Coil and all of his other options let you double jump after using them, so they can be used to reset the situation and give you space. You can also use Down B after a Rush Coil to give yourself a hitbox, especially while dodging, to get out of trouble, though both of the tricks I mentioned can backfire if you get knocked offstage.(windboxes especially can mess with you) Alternatively, rock Tornado Hold as I mentioned above and let the hitbox suck up the enemy and turn the tables on them. Tornado Hold is probably the best option against characters like Diddy whose juggles are scarier than his edgeguarding.
One thing to keep in mind is that Mega Man is one of the hardest characters to kill off the top of the screen in all of Smash 4. To give you an idea, he is very slightly more durable than Ganondorf in this respect, and he's of course a much smaller target than Ganondorf too. His quick fall speed means he's vulnerable to low-mid percent juggles, but he also has enough endurance that he can weather those early combos fairly well.
Uhhh... okay.
This almost looks like Donkey Kong has his own version of Rest.
Pssh ever hear of this thing called perfect pivoting?
So? There's this other one called Storm Punch. It's actually used.
The power of conditioning can partially negate this I suppose. You generally don't want to DJ and put yourself above DK in a lot of instances (IMO, most of the cast doesn't, keep in mind there are exceptions) so if he does that and usually Uairs, people might reactively airdodge and think he messed up timing, etc.
I dunno, I find that airdodging after a throw that sends you vertically is almost always the worst choice. If they read the dodge, they can still hit you with whatever follow-up might have chased your double jump, but they can also usually hit you with absolutely any move of their choice, including some that may kill far earlier.

I'm almost 100% sure you didn't include custom moves, so I can safely say your answer is the custom meta.
I agree that heavies often get the short end of the stick, but I think DK especially, along with Bowser, Ike and Wario are still not bottom tier. Snake in Brawl wasn't bottom tier either, same goes for Wario in that game. There are ways to make heavies quite good, but it's hard and often requires enough other advantages in their favour.
ROB has a pretty massive hurtbox, it's not hard to land sweetspot. But heavy needs a reduce hitstun at least to climb to the high tier. AND diddy would be the best even with that.
He has some but they're not silly enough. They should be the silliest in the game, since he has to work the hardest to land them. That's just basic fighting game design. If a character has to work hard to get an opening, when they do it should be devastating. By comparison, highly mobile characters should get much lesser reward on hit.
