Charge Man

Charge Man (チャージマン) is a Robot Master based on a steam locomotive, which is used by him as camouflage to make shipments to Dr. Wily. He is unique in that he is powered by coal and water, lowering his operating costs exponentially. His main attack, the Charge Kick, makes him throw a full-throttle kick at his maximum speed. He's also able to launch flaming pieces of coal from his smokestack.

Strategy
He walks in an attempt to touch Mega Man and damage him. Just time a jump so Mega Man avoids him. He also can throw coal from his chimney so they fall in a random position, being invincible while doing that. Just move out of the way if the coal is about to fall in Mega Man. He can also attack by using the Charge Kick to tackle Mega Man, which must be avoided by timing a jump so he fails. He is also invincible while doing the Charge Kick. His weakness is the Power Stone, but it is very difficult to hit him with it. The best time to use it is when he comes walking at Mega Man while looking at him, and when he gets near him, use it. However, he still is invincible while doing the Charge Kick and while shooting coal if struck with it. The Super Mega Man is also a better option, as it is easier to hit Charge Man with it.
