MegaMan's Arm Weapon Changes

MegaMan Voltnutt is very versatile in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. His arm cannon can be changed to give him different attacks. The various weapons he can equip change his normal moves that are done with the Medium attack button.

MegaMan is good at fighting up close, or even when keeping his distance, it just depends on which arm you're using.

Doing a Weapon Change command and pressing an attack button will switch MegaMan to the following:

Light Attack: Machine Gun Arm. Fires a three-shot laser which travels through projectiles.

Medium Attack: Shield Arm. You will not take chip (block) damage when you have the Shield Arm equipped. Your shield can also bounce people off of the walls.

Hard Attack: Drill Arm. Gives MegaMan the ability to lunge forward with his drill. Works great in combos and even has a solid anti air move to go with it.

To go Unarmed: Do a Weapon Change command press the same strength attack button for the Arm you currently have equipped. For example, if you're using the Drill Arm and you do a Weapon Change with the Hard Attack button, you'll go Unarmed.

Going Unarmed gives you a set of punches with the Medium Attack button.

Canceling into a Weapon Change: You can Cancel some of your moves into MegaMan's Weapon change which lets him set up some great combos, or can simply reduce the recovery time of a move.

Machine Gun Arm

Activate your Machine Gun Arm with the Medium Attack button then you can control the way it comes out with the joystick from there. This fires a three-burst shot. MegaMan will fire in the direction you hold, with the only exception being when you're crouching on the ground. From this angle he'll aim diagonally up-forwards which can be an alright anti air move, but it would have been better if he fired straight ahead.

Shield Arm

MegaMan can use his shield to bounce the other fighter around the screen, and if they touch a wall they'll rebound off of it which will let you juggle them.

This works great in combos because you can bounce your opponent off the wall and juggle them again for additional damage.

This can also reflect projectiles.

Drill Arm

Both of MegaMan's Drill moves work great in combos.

     
• Drill Lunge •
Makes MegaMan slide along the ground with his drill, hits low.

     
• Drill Uppercut •
MegaMan performs sort of a Drill Shoryuken, which is semi-reliable as anti air.

Special Moves

(Can also be done in the air)
• Weapon Change (Forward) •
Executing this makes MegaMan roll forward slightly and switch his weapon. When done in the air, he hops diagonally up-forward.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Weapon Change (Backwards) •
MegaMan will roll slightly backwards and change his weapon. Like all of his weapon changes, this can also be done in the air.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Weapon Change (Neutral) •
Same as the other two weapon changes, exception MegaMan won't move.

(Can also be done in the air)
• Mega Buster (Charge Shot) •
Pressing the Hard Attack button will make you fire off a Mega Buster shot, plus the button can be held to charge up for an attack that hits up to 8 times and looks bloody cool, but getting hit at any time will make you lose your charge.

This is aimed the same way your Machine Gun Arm attack works. Basically whatever direction you're holding, MegaMan will fire this at, but if you do it from the ground while crouching he'll aim diagonally upward-forwards which works as anti air.

Hyper Moves

(Can also be done in the air)
• Machine Gun Sweep (Level 1) •
MegaMan fires a rapid stream of Machine Gun Arm shots, which can be angled up or down with the joystick.

This is a great Hyper move because it's easy to combo with, damage scaling doesn't affect it very much and it can be done in the air. After this move, MegaMan will be equipped with the Machine Gun Arm.

• Max Power Drill Uppercut (Level 1) •
An alright Hyper move, but definitely more situational than the Machine Gun Sweep. MegaMan does a big uppercut with his Drill, which works well in defensive situations, but it can be punished heavily if blocked.

After you finish this move, MegaMan will have his Drill Arm equipped.

• Max Power Shining Laser (Level 3) •
MegaMan will attempt to punch his enemy. If this lands, he'll launch them up into the air and nail them with a big laser, after wards you can juggle the other fighter as they're coming down. Spinning the joystick and mashing the buttons while this is hitting will increase the damage.

But this doesn't do as much damage as most other Level 3 Hyper combos in the game, regardless it still has a few uses during the course of a match.

After you do this, MegaMan will be Unarmed.

Normal Moves

• Launcher •
This will launch your opponent up into the air.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Storyline

An excavator who makes his living digging for ancient ruins, MegaMan Volnutt never backs down from a fight, regardless of his opponent’s size or strength.

His unwavering courage supplements his wisdom in battle. His weapons are the Mega Buster cannon equipped on his left arm and a detachable right arm that can be swapped for a variety of battle-proven attachments.

Character origins

MegaMan Volnutt used to be known as Mega Man Trigger. His job at that time was a protector of the Master System. The Master System was essentially a giant computer that watched over human kind.

Mega Man Trigger was given a command by The Master to destroy the Master System, he followed orders but was so badly damaged in the battle that his memory had to be wiped so his body could be restored.

Mega Man Trigger was repaired, but sealed away with his memories removed. Later, he was discovered by Barrell Caskett. Having no memory of his past life, Barrell adopted him and gave him the name MegaMan Volnutt. They live and work together along with Barrell's granddaughter, Roll, who's also a playable character in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

MegaMan Volnutt is much like the original Mega Man in that he will only fight as a last resort and has a very noble and honorable side, but trouble tends to find him regardless.
