Blade Man

Blade Man (ブレイドマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 10. He attacks by throwing volleys of sword-like blades and climbing around quickly between the walls and ceiling, sometimes diving down from the side walls to slash at the player.

Blade Man was the guide to an ancient castle before the Roboenza incident. The castle's lord had a fascination with swords, which inspired the robot's design. He has an encyclopedic knowledge about weapons and swords, and can speak on the subject for a very long time.

Strategy
Blade Man jumps around on the walls and ceiling while firing Triple Blade, occasionally diving off the walls at the player.


 * On Easy Mode, Blade Man fires two blades instead of three.


 * On Hard Mode, Blade Man fires five blades instead of three, and as well, will dash at the player after diving at them from the walls.

His weakness is the Commando Bomb, but it is tricky to hit him with this, as only the shockwave is able to do extra damage to him. If the Commando Bomb is aimed so that it hits the wall right below (or above) him while he is on the it, the shockwave can hit him a second time, defeating him in the least number of hits. A useful strategy is when he latches onto the walls is to run toward him, causing his attack to miss; and when he's on the ceiling, run past him, and he will also miss. When he is on the wall, he may also try to divebomb into the player, but that can be avoided by moving toward one of the side walls.

Trivia

 * Blade Man shares his name with another from the original series, Blade Man from Mega Man 3 (PC).


 * Prior to its release, Nintendo held a contest for Mega Man 6 for two of the eight Robot Masters to be put into the game (the results being Knight Man and Wind Man). Blade Man was one of the submitted robot masters, and shares a very strong resemblance to this one in Mega Man 10.
 * His weakness is Commando Bomb, this because when we cut the bomb it will explodes. He has a very sharp blade, which will bring explosion every time the bomb touch it.
 * Blademan is one of Robot Master that doesn't have normal hand (in a form of blade).
