It increases the amount of damage that Mega Man does while grabbing an opponent. It's possible to inflict 22 damage in a single grab!

From what I've seen, if you shoot the leaf shield at your opponent it has some knock back. If the leaf shield is still circling you and hits an opponent, it doesn't seem to have any knock back. It might stun the tiniest amount when it's still circling you, but I feel like it doesn't stop the opponent from attacking me. So far, it has been the least used move in Mega Man's move set for me.Little sad that it makes it obvious what you're planning to do, but still at least we found a use for the move. So busy mourning the fact you can't use attacks during leaf shield only to forget the possibility of grabbing. I forget, do the leaves give any stun? Even diminutive amounts?
This is really the only good thing I can think of concerning Leaf Shield. Its path does not get affected by oncoming projectiles, so it can be used to rack up the pressure.Leaf Shield trumps other projectiles; this is its main functionality.
There's enough time to recover.I would be horrified to jump off the stage with leaf shield, since you can't Up-Special when its active.
That sounds like a neat trick. I'm gonna have to try that now.Forgive me for not looking through every post, but tonight I was playing @NinjaLink and we made a cool discovery with Leaf Shield (LS) as an edgeguarding tool. Of course we didn't explore it too in depth, but we did figure out you can LS, grab the ledge, and potentially use it to footstool (as it looks like the leaves have a spiking hitbox on their underside).
