Alright, after some pondering, I think I've managed to come up with something that's effectively a compromise between what Sean originally had and what he's got now. So here we go.

- Make Mega Buster his UT again. After doing some research, I've realized that the whole point of it being his HP in MvC was to give him more manoverability and combo options. I feel kinda guilty that I snapped at Sean the way I did and made him change it, and on top of that I didn't really have my thinking cap on at the time - making Mega Buster QCF+Punch would take away the nimbleness he originally had and thus make him an easier target. An idea that occured to me was to make the intial Mega Buster shot not cost UT, but it can charge for two levels and each one costs 1 bar of UT. I'm not sure if that was what Sean had originally, but whatever.
- Switching the Special Weapons are Down Down + P, K or PK, and are used with F + UT (costs 2 bars). This lets Mega Man still use his Mega Buster while having the weapon equipped. Eddie does not come down to deliver the weapons - Mega Man simply does a pose and an inidcator announces what weapon he's got. The weapons I had in mind were:
- Top Spin (Mega Man 3). Lariat-like attack that dodges projectiles. I think the Mega Man made by IMT uses it, not sure.
- Metal Blade (Mega Man 2). Bladed weapon that functions in a smiliar manner to Cap. America's Shield Slash in MvC3. Good zoning tool.
- Either Flash Stopper (Mega Man 4) or Super Arm (Mega Man). Both should give Mega Man opportunities for better close-combat - one as a speedup similar to Juri's Feng Shui Engine and another as a grapple move.
- Napalm Bomb (Mega Man 5). An erratic, bouncing projectile that is hard to predict and causes knockdown.
- Assists are QCB + Any Button. They are Rush, Beat, Auto and Eddie.
- Super 2: Rush Kamikaze. Mega Man jumps onto the Rush Jet and stunlocks the foe with a barrage of special weapons, then jumps off as Rush divebombs the target in a firey explosion. Rush should be briefly shown cracked and burnt after the attack, poor dog.
Hope Sean doesn't get mad at me again for this - I just wanted to help out. Hopefully this is enough of a compromise that people like it, and once again I apologize for kicking off such a ruckus.
