Megatron

Megatron

The Transformers


In the distant, far off year of 2005, a group of aliens known as the Transformers land on Earth during a long war on their home planet, one side of the war, the Decepticons, is led by the fearsome tyrant, Megatron, who comes up with schemes and tricks in order to put an end to the heroic Autobots, and rule the universe with an iron fist.

Gameplay Tips

  • Despite the devastating blasts from Megatron's down special, be careful when you use it, as you can be stuck facing one direction.
  • When floating after using Megatron's up special, you can use an aerial attack at any time, however you won't be able to use up special again until you land on the ground.
  • Megatron's forward aerial has a strong hit if the opponent makes contact with the tip of Megatron's knee.
  • If caught in the path of Megatron's down aerial, the opponent will be dragged down with him, although this can lead to both being KO'd at once.
  • Megatron's Neutral B, Energon mace, will stall him if used in the air, but only once per air time.
  • Megatron's big body is worrying, but he is immune to all knockback until he's taken 20% damage.
  • Due to his already massive size, Megatron boasts one of the largest shields in the game.
  • Megatron's Down EX will fire out a deadly blast that can bounce off of walls, floors, and even the boundaries of the stage!
