The Mega Man in SSB Wii-U and 3DS Discussion Thread

[~ Valkyrie ~]

OH MY GOD! MEGA MAN IS CONFIRMED!

MUST. BUY. WII-U AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

AHHHHHHHHH!

So HAPPY FOR YOU.

 

[volbound1700]

Sakurai hinted at it with the Capcom topic. I told everyone he was more likely than even Ridley and K Rool because of that comment. Well move this to the Confirmed Characters list. Now just waiting to see if Sonic is returning (crossing fingers).

XD Did anyone else think that the silhouette of Megaman was actually Lloyd Irving?

Shout-outs to my oldschool RMB bros.
I knew we could do it, and I couldn't be happier.

Sorry about the double post earlier. But I'm pretty freaking happy. I think this song fits how many of us feel. Oh and I guess that the Animal Crossing Villager is in too, so that's cool I guess.

Yeah I actually did. I'm happy for the Megaman fans. Now I hope Layton gets in as well...

yes and for a split second i was pissed

 

[shinhed-echi]

He's in!!! Dang, I could have NOT made that entrance any more awesome!

Robot Master weapons.. The fact that I saw so many of them makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me not to approve!

F-YEAH!

 

[bobadz]

Congrats guys.

This is a well earned victory.

 

[JPW]

I almost had a heart attack i only saw 3, but just found a trailer seemed to be 8. I wonder how you'll decide. Will it be like a down+b or something?

But that was epic, and exactly how i picked it but so much better

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That was the most awesome opening for a new challenger ever.

I am so glad it's original Mega Man

 

[shinhed-echi]

Holy nostalgia, Rockman!

The way he moves, the way he takes damage, the way he attacks. Everything looks like it's out of the 8-bit games! I LOVE this!

And Rush Coil, my god...!!! First time for both in 3D, right?

Exactly. The way the did everything is just perfect

 

[Game&Watcher]

Something tells me that Super Arm's his grab (considering how he uses it).

 

[BluePikmin11]

Smashboards flooded, but MEGAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAAMAAMAAMMAMAMAMAN!!!

 

[Knight Dude]

Did anyone notice the Shoryuken he used on Samus? That was awesome! I wonder how many of the robot master attacks are used for special moves. It seems like some of them are normals, like the Slash Claw and Flame Sword. And The Super Arm is most likely used for most if not all, his throw moves.

 

[JPW]

just saw a perfect trailer, moves look more like smash attacks. Guess they chose them for what fits best.

Awesome nonetheless though.
Also Dr. Wily Stage. I missed that last shot.

 

[DarkKry4]

He seems like hes gonna be the new overpowered cheap character like Metaknight. I hope they balance him properly.

 

[D3monicWolv3s]

Gah he's perfect. His 3D model is stubby and cute... and just so perfect.
Also metal blade! and leaf shield... and crash bomb! so amazing.

 

[LaniusShrike]

He definitely looks great, perfect design and style. I don't really understand fully how his powers are gonna work, though. It looks like he doesn't change his colors with power switches... I guess we don't really even know if he *does* change his powers around?

 

[8-peacock-8]

From the new Dojo. Put this image on the OP.

 

[HeroMystic]

Hey guys I'm back!

That right there is an image of victory and excitement. I am so happy they got Megaman in.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Told ya

 

[D3monicWolv3s]

It looks like he doesn't change his colors with power switches... I guess we don't really even know if he *does* change his powers around?

Having two or more megaman's on the screen that change colors would get confusing really fast.

 

[Kirbunny431]

I am so...so hype! That's one of my siggy characters confirmed. Now I just have to hope for the rest!

 

[8-peacock-8]

His alt colors from the weapon switch will probably be his alt colors colors.

Also, it seems the moveset is very similar to the one in SSF2.

 

[Ultinarok]

He seems like hes gonna be the new overpowered cheap character like Metaknight. I hope they balance him properly.

Nah, what made MK cheap was his design idea. A flying, fast character with extended range and lightning fast attacks. Sakurai gave MK too many broken characteristics of speed, power, recovery etc. Mega Man will be balanced as long as he doesn't have the power of Bowser, the speed of Fox and the range of Link all combined into one.

 

[Game&Watcher]

I'm officially going to preorder the game as soon as I get the chance.

 

[LaniusShrike]

I don't think color changing would be too bad-- my proposal was that his team color would be reflected on the part of him that's normally Dark Blue and then his current power would be reflected on the parts that're normally light blue.

So, this would be Mega Man who chose the "black" palette who has currently selected a fire power.

 

[final lap]

shame to see them rip off Shadow the Hedgehog

so original

 

[Noler_Mass]

I mean I don't play any megaman games but I can safely say that he looks, SO. FLIPPING. COOL. congrats guys!!

 

[SSBCandidates]

I am sorry, but... it feels like an empty victory.

 

[LaniusShrike]

I am sorry, but... it feels like an empty victory.

Empty victory? I mean, I was a bit underwhelmed by the trailer on the whole, but as far as Mega Man goes, this victory is 100% filling.

 

[Vann Accessible]

God, they captured Mega Man perfectly. The original Mega Man too. Not X. The one I wanted.

The beam in entrance. The big head. The big eyes (I love that they are glowing screens). The near expressionless face (he actually looks like a robot). The stubby body. His dog, Rush. The sound effects. The effing exploding death sound effect! The music. Dr. Willy's Castle. The robot masters' moves. Projectile heavy play style. Even the Mega Buster looks straight out of the 8-bit Mega Man, with the subtle black outline.

HE'S PERFECT!

Also, the sparking and scratches. I did see Mario loose his hat once too. Visible battle damage confirmed?

These are the moves I observed in the trailer, with likely inputs:


Mega Man Moves:

B Moves
Neutral B: Mega Buster
Hold B: Charge Buster
Up B: Rush Bounce
Forward B: Metal Blade (CAN YOU THROW IT DIRECTIONALLY LIKE IN MEGA MAN 2?!!!)
Alt (Smash?) Forward B: Crash Bomber
Down B: Leaf Shield

Aerials
A Air: Slash Claw
Forward A Air: Flame Sword
Down A Air: Hard Knuckle

Up A: Uppercut
Smash Up A: Dark Shock
Smash Forward A: Slide Kick
Grab: Super Arm

Final Smash: Flame Blast

Taunt or Idle animation: Buster c*ck. C*ck is not profanity in this case, dammit.

[shinhed-echi]

Wait.... how is he going to run while shooting? O_o

Will it be a case like Sonic where he had two spindashes?
So maybe Neutral B means shooting in place, and Side+B means run+shoot?

[Kapus]

All I need now is Lip as a playable character. Then everything would be perfect.

 

[Curious Villager]

Looks like Fox is cheating on Krystal.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Looks like Fox is cheating on Krystal.

Fox is a robosexual.

 

[Knight Dude]

I hope he has a color based on Protoman.
