History Characters / SuperSmashBros445To49

The Villager is a tricky foe to contend with, thanks to their set-ups that allow them to set the stage for massive damage upon their opponents, whether by pocketing a projectile for later use or growing a tree to cut down on their foes' heads.

Much like a real boxer, Little Mac is incredibly tough and powerful on the ground, but has little to no experience or strength fighting in the air. Once he can get his opponent within range, he can unleash a barrage of powerful punches to quickly rack up damage. Unique to him is the KO Meter on his damage counter: upon reaching maximum charge, Mac's neutral special is temporarily replaced with the KO Uppercut, a single-use attack that can KO almost any opponent on the spot, even at low damage! While he's nearly helpless in the air, Little Mac's qualities make him a tough customer to knock out.

Mega Man's fighting style is [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter quite a bit different from his opponents]]: his neutral, neutral-air, and forward-tilt attacks all fire his Mega Buster up to three times in quick succession. Though weak, this gives him range and flexibility in how he attacks. While he doesn't have as many close-ranged options as other fights, he does have a selection of weapons taken from Robot Masters over the course of his series to extend his long-range game.

The default trainer is female, but the male trainer is also playable as an alternate costume.

Rosalina brings the Lumas with her into battle, working together with them to bring pain similar to the Ice Climbers. The difference is that, while the Ice Climbers are usually together, Rosalina can fight with her Luma from afar.

* BadassAdorable: Luma, a little star who is able to take on the likes of Bowser and Donkey Kong.

* BreakingOldTrends: He's the first third party character that originated on a Nintendo console, and the first character that represents Capcom.

-> For his home series entry, please see Characters/MegaManClassicHeroes

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In that he possess very little. Any characterization he has had in his home series is absent here, instead choosing to depict him as more, well...having little characterization as possible. In fact, he doesn't even speak here. However, this is all done to represent his 8-bit NES-era appearances.

* BoobsOfSteel: The female trainer. She's rather busty, and like Zero Suit Samus before her, she's the female character with the most physical [[NonElemental normal]] moves.

* TalkToTheFist: The Mega Upper is his only punch in his entire moveset. Its quick startup makes it particularly useful when his opponents leave themselves open, such as when opening an Assist Trophy.

** Mega Man's [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 slide]] was a purely defensive power in its games. Mega Man needed a weapon like the [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Charge Kick]] to deal damage while sliding. In this game, Mega Man has no trouble hitting people with his basic slide.

** Whenever Mega Man uses an attack that requires both Mega Busters at once, he stops to vent excess heat to prevent them from overheating, previously noted in ''Super Adventure Rockman''. This is especially notable since said game was [[NoExportForYou never exported]], and [[CreatorBacklash shunned and declared non-canon by Keiji Inafune]].

* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Averts this, the girls of ''Smash'' are grabbed by their hands both because of [[WomenAreDelicate social expectations]] and to avoid looking as they are being grabbed by their breast. Mega Man instead picks them up with his hand over his head while they struggle to escape. Unfortunately with some female characters it can look like he is grabbing and lifting them by their [[https://i.imgur.com/OfLJ9QI.jpg butts]].

* UnderwearOfPower: Even as Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}} lose theirs, he still keeps his signature dark blue shorts. And they're metal, too!

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In that he doesn't have one. Any characterization he has had in his home series is absent here, instead choosing to depict him as more, well...emotionless than usual. In fact, he doesn't even speak here. However, this is all done to represent his 8-bit NES-era appearances.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In that he no longer has one. Any characterization he has had in his home series is absent here, instead choosing to depict him as more, well... robotic than usual. In fact, he doesn't even speak here. This is all done to represent his 8-bit NES-era appearances.

* CoolPet: Mega Man is assisted in his default recovery by Rush. One variation has his bird Beat help him out instead.

* PerpetualFrowner: Unlike Pac-Man, who is constantly smiling, Mega Man usually wears a slight frown.

* DifficultButAwesome: His Power Meter is charged by dealing and taking damage. While difficult even for experienced players, good use of dodging, blocking, and mindgames to land both hits and the uppercut makes it so Mac, while lacking a good air game, doesn't need it to be a contender.

* GradualGrinder: Despite initially seeming like a Rushdown character, he's actually a Turtle character. He's a thinking man's character built around playing safe and punishing your opponent's mistakes. Rather appropriate, considering that's the basic gameplay of VideoGame/PunchOut in a nutshell.

* DeathGlare: The default Villager manages to give Mario one in the E3 trailer ''while smiling''.

* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Averts this, the girls of smash are grabbed by their hands both because of [[WomenAreDelicate social expectations]] and to avoid looking as they are being grabbed by their breast. Mega Man instead picks them up with his hand over his head while they struggle to escape. Unfortunately with some female characters it can look like he is grabbing and lifting them by their [[https://i.imgur.com/OfLJ9QI.jpg butts]].

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Their attacks are yoga stances, with a couple of ''Wii Fit'' minigames thrown in. Special mention goes to her grab animation, that allows Wii Fit Trainer to deadlift and hold the light Princess Zelda and the super heavy Gannondorf with the same ease.

* TrueBlueFemininity: Making a contrast to Peach's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink ensemble]] and Zelda's [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple ensemble]], Rosalina's cyan dress is no less lacking in the feminine elegance department.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In a series where characters usually get a wide array of melee options, Mega Man instead gets a wide array of ''ranged'' options. Even among other projectile reliant fighters, Rock's attacks mostly focus on mid range rather than long range. Special mention goes to his Mega Buster: he can fire it seamlessly while running, jumping straight up, and standing still, while most other characters in this series use entirely different moves for each of those stances.

** He explodes upon being sent off screen, replicating his death animation from his home series. It even makes the iconic echoing sound effect. Made even more faithful in ''Ultimate'', where he disappears in the same way for Stamina matches.

* PlayingWithFire: Flame Blast and Flame Sword; the former fires a pair of powerful explosions around him, the latter a close range air attack with a fire blade.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Their attacks are yoga stances, with a couple of ''Wii Fit'' minigames thrown in. Special mention goes to her grab animation, that allows Wii Fit Trainer to dead lift and hold the light Princess Zelda and the super heavy Gannondorf with the same ease.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Not quite death, but still. Her reaction to realizing she can't escape in ''World of Light'' is to calm herself with yoga, in stark contrast to the Duck Hunt Duo and Villager (who are panicking next to her).

* MsFanservice: Increasingly. The daily snapshots given in the main website revealed a quite... interesting picture of [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Peach seemingly grabbing]] [[https://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Smash.4_-_First_Three_Ladies.jpg something behind the female trainer]][[note]]it was actually meant to compare the in-game OffModel heights of the female characters[[/note]]. The male Wii Fit Trainer is [[MrFanservice no slouch in that department either]].

** Rosalina herself is quite powerful, even without Luma; but her tallness along with her light weight means she can be defeated quite easily, especially when Luma isn't there to give her support.

* SquishyWizard: Luma is responsible for much of the pair's KO power, as Rosalina is relatively weak on her own, with her huge hitbox and light weight making her an easy target. When Luma is out, however, the pair can split or stay together to pull off combos, KO, trap, space, control the battlefield, and divert the opponent's attention.

* TrueBlueFemininity: Making a contrast to Peach's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink ensemble]] and Zelda's [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple ensemble]], Rosalina's cyan dress is no less lacking in the femininely elegance department.

* ArtEvolution: His ''Brawl'' design is more closely inspired by the NES original while in ''4'' his design is taken from ''Punch-Out!!'' for the Wii, with the unmistakably black hair from the NES game instead of the [[HairColorDissonance dark blue/greenish black hair]] from the Wii game. [[http://i.imgur.com/rDADYvb.png Comparison here]].

** Unlike the vast majority of alternate palettes through the series, ''all'' of Mac's (non-wireframe) palettes are clothes he actually wore in his home series. The default color is the Minor Circuit outfit, and he also has the Major Circuit, World Circuit, Title Defense, and second player outfits from the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!''. Other palettes are his blonde appearance from ''Super Punch-Out!!'', the strange white and black outfit he suddenly dons in the NES game when he defeats an opponent, and his famous [[RealMenWearPink pink]] sweatsuit. He also has wireframe versions of all of these outfits, referencing the arcade version of the game, with the sweatsuit version of that inverting the colors so that his gloves are pink and suit is green.

* TheRival: Being the only Nintendo character that uses a real world martial art, Little Mac is one to Ryu. They're seen punching each other in Bayonetta's character art.

* WallJump: A surprising example given how many characters known for having the agility to, or even being capable of wall jumping in their own series cannot. In a hilarious bit of {{Irony}}, Mac actually has one of the highest wall jumps in the game despite generally failing to make it back to the stage if his opponent gives him any off stage pressure.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: All of Villager's projectiles can be reflected. Trees and bowling balls are particularly dangerous if they get reflected.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Many of his attacks can be reflected or even caught. The most obvious example is the Crash Bomb, which behaves like the Sticky Bomb item and can be tagged onto another player with a meager love tap.

* LogicalWeakness: As noted in HoistByHisOwnPetard, many of his projectiles can be caught and reflected, and he is a character that has an abnormal amount of projectile attacks. Given how much damage each of his projectile weapons can do, as well as how much knockback a few of them cause, Mega Man can end up falling to his own Charge Shot Mega Buster, among other things.

* LogicalWeakness: Being a boxer, he's not very good at fighting while in the air.

** The attacks that use turnips (Upward aerieal and downward aerial) produce a random number of turnips each time. This may reference the Stalk Market; a feature where a player can buy turnips once each week, and sell them for a random value the next week.

* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Averts this, the girls of smash are grabbed by their hands both because of [[WomenAreDelicate social expectations]] and to avoid looking as they are being grabbed by their breast. Megaman instead picks them up with his hand over his head while they struggle to escape. Unfortunately with some female characters it can look like he is grabbing and lifting them by their [[https://i.imgur.com/OfLJ9QI.jpg butts]].

* StylisticSuck: Some of his animations, particularly his jump and neutral aerial attack, have choppy animation. This is at once a CallBack to the original NES games, but [[FridgeBrilliance also means he matches the in game appearance of the latest games in his series]] (like most of the SSB cast) because of the {{Retraux}} Megaman [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 9]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]].

* UnexplainedRecovery: In Ridley's trailer for ''Ultimate'', he was [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice shish kabobed]] by his spiked tail. During the opening scene of ''World of Light'', he looks exactly fine with no permanent damage. Of course, he ''is'' a robot, he could have just been rebuilt.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Their attacks are yoga stances, with a couple of ''Wii Fit'' minigames thrown in. Special mention goes to her grab animation, that allows Wii Fit Traner to dead lift and hold the light Princess Zelda and the super heavy Gannondorf with the same ease.

* HealThyself: Deep Breathing and a fully charged Sun Salutation can both heal Wii Fit Trainer for 2%. Don't try to spam the former, though, as it gets slower the more you use it, and will also yeild slightly less healing.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Their face has been cutened up for ''Ultimate'', at the request of the ''Wii Fit'' developers.

* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Averted as Wii Fit Trainer is one of the few characters with a unique [[https://i.imgur.com/3tULnob.jpg grab animation]] thus bypassing the standard rule that all females have to be grabbed by her hand/arms. Bonus points as unlike Megaman all of the girl butts are safe in her hands too, though it is also worth noting that Wii Fit Trainer, even the male one, is able to be the victim of this trope.

* GravityMaster: Has a move that can bring items towards her, and make projectiles go around her. This also prevents thrown items from activating if they have a throw effect, like Capsules breaking or Pokeballs opening. WordOfGod also says she uses an anti-gravity effect to explain why she's a light character.

* AnAxeToGrind: Though its most obvious use is to chop down the tree created by the Timber! special, their axe can also be utilized as a highly effective weapon against other fighters as long as a full-grown tree is on the field.

* HealThyself: Some of their moves heal them, such as a successful Deep Breathing and a fully charged Sun Salutation. Don't try to spam the former, though, as it gets slower the more you use it.

* StatusBuff: Their Down Special, Deep Breathing, allows them to increase the power of their offensive moves for a few seconds should they be able to complete the animation of the move. In ''Ultimate'', Deep Breathing also increases their run speed, fall speed, and air speed, increasing their overall mobility on top of further increasing their power.
