Wind Man

Wind Man (ウインドマン) is a air-themed Robot Master that was originally created to work in agriculture, helping in the harvest. He has a strong rivalry with Air Man. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was stolen and reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him in his plan to conquer the world.

With his weapon, Wind Storm, he can generate powerful winds that can reach a speed of 200m/s, which he uses to pull enemies, increasing the speed if damaged. Wind Man has jet engines in his feet that allow him to hover and move faster, which he also uses to attack by moving above the opponent to smash him with his weight. His weakness is the Centaur Flash.

Strategy
Wind Man will attack in a way similar to Top Man, spinning to the left and right of the screen, and at random times, occasionally firing his Wind Storm attack at Mega Man. Wind Storm summons three wind tornadoes on the right, center, and left of the screen. To dodge this, stay in between the gaps and jump when the tornadoes come at Mega Man.

Trivia

 * His real life designer, Michael Leader, is American, one of the first two non-Japanese persons to win a Mega Man character contest, the other in Mega Man 6 being Knight Man's designer.
 * Wind Man being weak to the Centaur Flash, a flash-type weapon, can be a throwback to Gyro Man's weakness, Gravity Hold, which is also a flash-type weapon.
