Mega Man (Super Smash Flash 2)

Mega Man is a playable veteran character in Super Smash Flash 2. In Super Smash Flash 2, the classic blue bomber Mega Man replaces the Mega Man X model that first appeared in Super Smash Flash. Mega Man uses a variety of weapons and adapters from many of his games. According to Cleod9, he has a voice-actor pending.

Mega Man is currently ranked 7th on the tier list; a big leap from his 17th position last demo. Mega Man has good combo potential, a good projectile game, good reach in most of his attacks and kill moves in his down smash, up and back aerial, a fully charged Mega Buster, his back throw when used near a ledge and Crash Bomber when near a blast line. Mega Man has projectiles in Mega Buster, Crash Bomber, Black Hole Bomb, Wheel Cutter, Super Arm and he can reflect projectiles with Proto Shield. He has a decent recovery with Beat Call (which grants him super armor in the initial frames of the move) and can can use his down aerial to help recover horizontally.

However, Mega Man is susceptible to combos, chain grabs and zero-to-death combos. His recovery is predictable and if the opponent knows how it works could put Mega Man in a bad situation. All of his projectiles with the exception of Black Hole Bomb can be reflected countering his projectile game. Mega Man's pros overshadow his cons and is the reason why he is ranked close to the top.
