Character Differences

Depending on which character you choose, the gameplay will differ. The character playstyles usually fit different types of play styles.

Pros
Mr. Morris can wall jump, slide and charge his Arm Cannon. In addition, his armor is slightly more resistent to regular damage. His alternate weapon also does the exact amount of damage as regular arm cannon shots, and he can aim in 6 directions.

Cons
Mr. Morris takes more damage from certain boss special attacks, and certain enemy attacks. His utilities use more energy than Rush's utilities for Mega Man. His alternate weapon requires him to stand still, and the shots don't pass through walls like the Arm Cannon's shots.

Pros
Mega Man takes less damage from certain boss attacks, and his utilities use less energy. He can move when using his alternate weapon, and the shots from it can pass through walls. In addition, Mega Man gains a little more energy from energy pellets, and he gains an additional utility for use.

Cons
Megaman takes slightly more damage to regular enemies and attacks, and he lacks the slide and charge abilities. His alternate weapon only fires straight, and takes slightly longer to reload.
