Description
Play as the Super Fighting Robot, Mega Man! Using sprites based off the ones made by BBLIR and an entirely new moveset built just for Rivals.

A refreshed version of Mega Man prettied up and finally finished once and for all after 2+ years of basically nothing. I do apologize, but times were different when I was making Mega Man back in 2019 and the knowledge simply wasn't there when something went wrong. I also kept changing too much about the moveset, and never settling on something with confidence. Finally in 2022, I thought I'd set things right by getting something that from start to finish is an overall complete package. After all, I feel like this was one project I absolutely owed to the Workshop community, and to remind you all that I definitely put out more than just SSL-style projects.

In any case, the moveset!

<<<Moveset>>>
[Specials]
Neutral Special (1): Pellets
Basic spammable shot.

Neutral Special (2): Hyper Bomb
Delayed explosion that is good for traps and setups.

Neutral Special (3): Silver Tomahawk
Big and strong upward moving projectile that sends the opponents backwards to you to allow for a potential follow-up.

Neutral Special (4): Laser Trident
Armor piercing projectile that is a hard counter against Parries, Ori's Down Special, and Clairen's Down Special.

Neutral Special (5): Triple Blade
Three-way projectile that has good coverage but low damage to compensate for the amount of range.

Forward Special: Charge Shot
Charge your Mega Buster to fire a powerful shot, but can cancel out of it anytime to compensate for the lack of ability to move during it.

Down Special: Variable Weapons System
Switch to your next weapon in the rotation in an instant.

Up Special: Rush Coil
Launch yourself upwards at a high velocity using your trust dog.

[Normals]
Jab: Slash Claw
Basic melee attack that, when connected, allows you to cancel out into another move.

Jab (OLD): Wheel Cutter
A hold move that does as many hits as it is held out for.

Strong dash attack that knocks you backwards, good for scaring opponents with its high attack power.

Two-way projectile that stuns your opponent.

Has anyone made a version of Megaman that gains the opponent's neutral special like Kirby? Maybe when you KO the person the first time you get the move or you get it as soon as you damage them.

Is it on purpose that FSpecial charge does nothing but delay execution?

I added the (2022) if, for any reason whatsoever, you still had the original version downloaded so they aren't confused with because I never changed his icon to anything different. It's also not a big enough alteration of the original Mega Man visually so just wanted something to be made clear. In the future I may actually look into other ways to make him stand out and honestly one of those might be to alter his base palette slightly.

Good!

One issue however:
Remove the "(2022)" from his ingame name (if possible)

Cool character and execution; But simply too strong. Had to uninstall.
