Customs do make Mega Man better, but I don't think they are coming back, even if Nintendo did fix the problematic ones.
So any buffs to customs are probably not very relevant for Mega Man's viability
On the Diddy anti-grab bug, I have tested and I think he can't do it against any of Mega Man's non-custom moves. Tested Bair, Up Air, leaf shield, Metal Blade, Crash bomb and up smash. And pellets too but it shouldn't happen anyways.
Crash bomb I'm not completely sure though, maybe below 40% he can get hit power shield and shieldgrab to make it happen.
Didn't test tossed leaf shield, but it rarely hits twice so...
Still if it were to happen a single pellet on shield would nullify it so it's not really relevant.
With some testing I think falling up air - down tilt is pretty legit on shield. If we do it close to frame perfect and the character is tall enough I think it's unpunishable, but this definitely requires more testing. Since dtilt makes our feet intangible on frame 3 it's as good as spotdodge and 1 frame faster than roll (intangibility-wise).
On fair, it should be unpunishable on block if spaced correctly unless he has some very good punish. I'm guessing the strong hitbox should do more shieldstun too so you want to hit with that, although sourspot can set up for tech chase and jab lock at high %.
SH - bair - retreat is now way better too on block. Or maybe it's all just placebo lol
A buff would be great though.
If you like kirby go for it. You can play multiple characters, I usually use 4 different characters per tournament depending on MU and stage lol.

It's not like he's very good atm, so nah I'll keep playing him. Imo most people who play mega man is because they love the character / gamestyle, not because they think he's super good or anything.Anyone else considering dropping Megaman if he was actually nerfed and maining again next patch if he gets buffed? Kirby is awesome Ive noticed lately
