- Do I need to say it again? Well ok....charge that Mega Buster! A charged Mega Buster is extremely dangerous because of the fact that it will OTG and it will keep juggling an opponent in the air, setting them up for an air combo.

- Megaman's item changes give him a lot of versatility. Use them to change up your strategy and keep your opponent guessing.

- Megaman has great supers. The Rush Drill is unstoppable and no move will penetrate it. Nothing will knock him out of it. The Hyper Megaman is slow but will act as it's own setup by knocking the opponent into the path of the beam. The Beat Plane does great chipping damage and can be confusing to block.

- Since he's such a little guy, Megaman is kind of slow. It takes him a few steps to get to his opponent and his short limbs make it necessary to do just that! You'll find that most of his dashing attacks will be blocked because he's so slow.

- Most of Megaman's special moves leave him wide open. The Tornado Hold and Mega Upper have horrible recovery time. The Leaf Shield will offer some protection but the start up delay makes him vulnerable to dialers.

- Figure out which finger to use when charging your Mega Buster. I've found that my right ring finger is the easiest to hold down while still leaving the rest of my fingers free to hit the other buttons.

- Use Megaman's sliding sweep often. It knocks down the opponent and gives him enough time to pull off an OTG Mega Buster, Tornado Hold or Rush Drill.

- Learn how to set up air combos while holding down the Fierce button so that you can end it with a huge Mega Buster --> Beat Plane combo. Megaman's best setup is a simple D.S.Short, S.Roundhouse to air combo. If it's blocked, he should still be left safe from countering.

- As soon as people see you charging that Mega Buster, they'll get really really careful. You're gonna have to do a lot of poking and prodding to get an OTG or air combo setup for a clear shot with it.

- Megaman has great anti air defense because of his assortment of moves. His launcher is the easiest to use and is best if you're charging the Mega Buster. Other useful moves are the Tornado Hold and the Mega Upper.

- The Leaf Shield gives Megaman temporary super armor. He'll be able to absorb any single hit. Do you realize what this means? Turn on the leaf shield and just stand there. When your opponent jumps at you, let em attack. As soon as their attack connects, pull off a Hyper Megaman. It'll hit em while they're still in their attack pose and knock em into the beam of death that he shoots. Simple and effective defense.

- Megaman has the ability to throw two Mega Busters in a row. This makes it extremely hard for his opponent to get near him. Sure, they can super jump but it's very hard to even pull that off when Megaman is doing this.

Second Form - Megaman has a harder time beating the second form. Just be very careful and do a lot of blocking. As soon as you see him hovering over the ground, pull off a Hyper Megaman. It does incredible damage against him. Other than that, stick to using his J.Roundhouse and charged Mega Busters.

- A lot Megaman players like to play keep away with the Mega Buster and Tornado Hold. Mega Busters don't do any block damage if they're uncharged so don't worry about them. Just super jump and get close. If he does constant Tornado Holds, just find his timing and jump in when he's vulnerable.

- Don't try to counter the Rush Drill. You can't it's impossible. He is completely invincible while inside his dog so just block and wait it out.

- Block low. Megaman players like to use his slide and OTG combos a lot. If you do get hit by the slide, make it a reflex to roll away.

- Megaman is extremely vulnerable after all of his supers. Hit him with your fastest super while he's recovering.

- Watch out for him if he's got the leaf shield. Not only does he have one hit armor, he's got an eight hit projectile that will plow through any fireball thrown at him. It's best to wait until it runs out. Don't jump at him cause he'll cancel it into a Hyper Megaman.
