So, a new update and no changes to rockman. It's sad because the more he is left out of these changes, the more he is forgotten about and just gets worse as a character. Anything you wanna share about my opinion or how 1.15 may effect matchups for megaman? Of course any other feedback is welcomed.

Basically every top tier got nerfed except Rosalina, I think Megaman will be just fine.

Looking at the data, it seems like this patch was aimed at specific characters, mainly the ones that have been dominant. Sheik has been finally nerfed, and from the looks of it, it's still a bad MU, but not as unwinnable. Some of the lower characters like Samus were given some pretty solid buffs.

Since most characters weren’t changed (Mega Man being one of them sadly), there may be more patches in the future to address some of the mid tier characters. All I want is less endlag on Smash attacks, since Mega Man has a lot of hidden potential already. Here's to more updates in the future.

This patch was a huge mega man buff since it nerfed 2-3 of some of our worst match ups.

This is def putting mega man in a solid spot for a viable solo main.

nerfs to top tiers are indirect buffs to lower tiered characters, which is very nice

still i wish they buff megaman kill power somewhere, maybe next patch

I still say we should have less endlag on all our Smash attacks and F-Air, but having some of our worst MU's nerfed does help in the long run.

Lets all take comfort jn the fact that zigma upper and downward blade upper kill sheckles at 70. Thats our golden number now.


My highly unrealistic hopes for buffs would be cb sticking through shield or jumpcancelable slide, like in the games


More realistically, id like usmash to have tighter hitboxes to catch people from ledge, and bair to have better damage on the first two hits and possibly connect into the launch hit better

After this patch Mega Man is in the best state ever so far in smash 4. He didn't place high in Zeros tier list even though he credited Scatt. But people don't know about Mega Man. Also I think Swag would be a force to reckon with if he entered more tournaments.
