Zero (Super Smash Flash)

Zero appeared in SSF as the only unlockable character of the Mega Man universe, who is unlocked by clearing Adventure Mode with on normal or harder without continuing. His sprites were ripped from Mega Man X3.

Zero is ranked 5th on the tier list. He has a solid projectile in his Z-Buster, excellent range, and good KO moves in Rei Shiki Kitazan, Rei Shiki Kabutowari, and Kuenzan. He's also fairly fast, which gives him a good approach. Like the other sword users, he can also cancel his aerial momentum with Rei Shiki Retsuzan to increase his survivability.

However, he has no forwards-boosting moves, which limits his horizontal recovery. In addition, the advent of techniques such as jump cancel and momentum cancel have hindered Zero's effectiveness somewhat, as he has no highly exploitable moves that match the caliber of the other top tier characters.

However, Zero is still an incredibly strong character, which is why he is ranked at 5th.
