Compass Man

Compass Man (コンパスマン) is one of the seven powerful Robot Masters created by R-Shadow known as the Dimensions, who traveled from the future with the purpose of destroying Rockman, Dr. Light, Forte, and Dr. Wily.

Like some of the other Dimensions, Compass Man's name might be deceiving, but he is quite a powerful foe. Compass Man can separate his torso from his legs and spins around the room, slicing at opponents with his deadly blade hands, while his legs will try to corner his "prey" and do even more damage. Compass Man, like the Clock Men, is a very mobile adversary, and thus is weakened and slowed down by Aircon Man's Barrier Wind and Forte Cyclone attacks. Compass Man does not leave a weapon upon his defeat.

Unlike Sword Man, the only other boss to split like this, Compass Man is not damaged by hitting his Torso, his weak point is actually at the top of the legs, making is tricky to hit with his weakness.

Compass Man's Stage is only opened to you after beating the Clock Men.

Trivia

 * In the game, Compass Man's name is actually spelled as "Compas Man." It is unknown whether this was a typographical error, a mistranslation (from Japanese to English characters), or whether it was intentional.
