Biography: Bubble Man was designed to be an underwater exploration robot. Part of Wily's Warriors, the Mega Man 2 team, he is the smart alec of the team. But that just makes him more loveable. He prefers water environments, and spends most of his time in a jaccuzi, playing water proof video games.

Smash Moves

Bubble Buster: (B Button) Long range gun attack.

Piercer: (Forward and B) Bubble Man makes a small spear in his buster, and pierces whomever is in front of him.

Bubble Bounce: (Up and B) This can be used as his third jump. Bubble Man makes a bubble below him and bounces off of it. Anyone below this attack will get hurt, but anyone hit by Bubble Man above will result is some damage between both people.

Bubble Lead: (Down and B) Bubble Man will form a lead bubble from the bubble tube on his head. It will slowly go forward and flatten anyone that it hits. Randomly, it will encase people in it and will drag them to their doom if they can't get out before it falls. Anying in the bubble when it hits a wall will get damage after the bubble pops. Bubble Man may also pick it up and throw it at people, and it will also bounce and trap people randomly, making it a cheap attack for people trying to get into the stage or for making an easy kill by enasing them in the bubble and making them fall.

Tips For Playing as Shadow Blade (Bubbleman)

Despite his big flippers, Bubble Man has an average speed. He is mostly used as a defensive player. Most of his attacks involve encasing people in bubbles, then quickly running to them and damaging them until they break out.

Bubble Man is usually a cheap player. When he encases someone in a bubble, he can kick them out of the ring, leaving them to fall to their dooms since they can't really do anything but go down. While they can break out, the strengh of the bubble is random. Bubble Man can also roll bubbles and make them bounce around the play area, making him a dangerous enemy when you are trying to not get knocked far into the stage, or trying to get back to the stage.
