This version of Mega
Man is based on the North American box art of the first Mega Man
game (1987). This horribly drawn box art contains virtually nothing that can
be found in the actual game. Mega Man himself resembles a middle-aged man
rather than a boy, his costume is colored yellow and blue instead of being
entirely blue, and he is holding a handgun instead of his arm cannon. Over the
years, the cover art has become infamous in the gaming community. It has been
considered one of the worst game covers of all time. As joke, Capcom included
this version of Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken as a playable guest
character.

Why Capcom, why?
Really though. Was SF x Tekken really the time and place to bring back the infamous "Bad
Box Art" Mega Man? Not so sure. There aren't many FG characters who are intentionally designed to look
BUTT-UGLY... so the fact that Ono / Capcom decided to make SFxT more
ugly with this unfitting joke character is mind-boggling. Seeing this legendary
cringe version of Megaman from the badly-drawn NES box art is worth a laugh, but
the joke is a bit lost when old school SF / Tekken fans were
actually hoping for certain favorite characters from the series to appear in SFxT.
Wasted slot much? Ironically, this ridiculous character kind of represents the
culmination of SF4's cartoony art style.
In gameplay, you can't help but laugh at this height-challenged fat man with his
generic laser gun and crooked helmet. What he does effectively as a joke design is that he
even
exists in the first place. It's almost deep. No, he doesn't fit into the
game at all... and he's not supposed to? Step aside Dan, "Mr. Megaman" is the ultimate
troll FG character.
