Shade Man

Shade Man (シェードマン) is built to look like a vampire, and he can act like one by draining his enemy's power. He was created by Doctor Albert Wily.

Strategy
Shade Man attacks with his Noise Crush, a "petrifying stare", and sucking the health of the player like a vampire. He can also summon Bubble Bats in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.

Warning: Do NOT use Noise Crush against him. He'll just absorb it and send stronger waves back at you. Unfortunately, you can't do the same to his waves.

It's possible to find the Energy Equalizer and the Proto Shield in his stage. The latter, however, must be obtained only by finding Proto Man and fighting him.

Trivia

 * A special easter egg occurs when you hold down + B the controller down. It changes the stage selected music and the stage music to resemble music from the "Ghosts 'n Goblins" game series.


 * The beginning of Shade Man's stage (the outdoors part), is a homage to the beginning part of the first stage in Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the SNES, although the entire stage itself is a homage to the game.
