I played Mega at best buy and I won both of my matches (Against my friends who have played smash consistently for years and are quite skilled). Megaman is not a bad character. Maybe the idiots in smash boards think so, but no one's even had more than 5 hours of playtime on this game, so who can really honestly say? He's basing his opinion on the invitational tournament, in which almost everyone there played really awkwardly and randomly. Especially Hugs.
I agree that he isn't a bad character. (i disagree that people on smash boards are idiots...) Majority of people are placing him at mid tier based on opinions from the invitational and best buy stuff in this current build. However, no one is fully realizing his potential either. I don't think crash bomber or the saw blades were used even once in the invitational much less effectively. His abilities revolve around locking down opponents with high priority and multi direction attacks from mid range. Absolutely none of those strengths come out in a free for all at all, where the only decent strategy seems to be putting a lot of emphasis on down tilt because it has insane priority and isn't a projectile that only works for one hit at a time so it can break up batches of people easily. The only 1v1 match we got to see, megaman vs fox, was probably the worst match up he could have gotten since fox is REALLY fast and his kill moves are probably easier to land, plus it was dr.pp using him...
I think up air has a lot of potential along with crash bomber. Crash bomber -> lock them down with mega buster -> explodes -> get under them -> up air -> juggle with up air until death seems to be possible.
If only DACUS was still possible QQ he would be insane with that tech.
