Mega Man VI

Story
The world is holding its first robot tournament. Mr. X., who's responsible for the games, gathered the strongest robots in the world. He approached Mega Man and confessed that he was Dr. Wily's assistant in his plots and wishes to get revenge. He wanted Mega Man to lead the robots into world domination. With a refusal Mega Man is hunting the champions to stop the takeover.

Characters
Mr. X The former assistant to Dr. Wily. He now wishes to surpass his former employer using the same tactics.
Rush Dr. Light modified him a bit and now he has new transformations. He now combines with Mega Man to perform greater abilities. (You control Mega Man not Rush).
Jet Mega Man
By defeating Plant Man you get the Jet Pack. Rush turns into a jet pack, which Mega Man wears to fly throw the stages. It recharges when he's on solid ground.
Power Mega Man
By defeating Flame Man you get the body armor. Rush turns into armor in which Mega Man uses his arms to attack. Normal punches send out powerful plasma shots a short distance. A charged punch sends a powerful blast just in front of Power Mega Man and this sometimes breaks rocks.
Beat Beat still comes out to attack robots with a fury, but he is missing his parts. By defeating the true Robot Masters in certain levels you will gain the BEAT plates to complete him.
B
In Tomahawk Man's stage you'll come to a fork while going left to right. Take the lower half as Jet Mega Man.
E
In Yamato Man's stage the secret gate is right above the other one. Use Jet Mega Man.
A
In Knight Man's stage break one of the breakable blocks using Power Mega Man and follow down the pit.
T
In Centaur Man's, fly up to an unreachable ladder using Jet Mega Man.

Items
Energy Balancer
This was tossed by Wily since he could not figure a way to use it. It allows Mega Man to automatically fill the lowest weapon energy, when a weapon energy capsule is picked up. Find it in Tomahawk Man's stage. When you come to a fork in the road use Jet Mega Man to take the lower route. As you go up on that path there is a cracked rock. Use Power Mega Man to enter the room. There Proto Man with give you the discarded device.

Robot Masters

Flame Man
Flame Blast shoots a ball of fire, which falls to the ground then forms a geyser of fire
Wind Storm If you are more than half a screen away Flame Man will shoot a fire ball at you and jump. If you are close he rams his arm into the ground. This creates many eyers of fire on the ground, wait in between them. Send Wind Storm when he's on the ground using Flame Blast.

Blizzard Man
Blizzard Attack shoots four snow flakes, two going strait above and below Mega Man and two going diagonally up and down
Flame Blast Blizzard Man will roll on the ground trying to crash into Mega Man. Then he causes a storm in which damaging snow flake pelt Mega Man. Slide to dodge attacks and use Flame Blast. Blizzard Man will likely run into them (since they last longer) and hurt himself.

Plant Man
Plant Barrier creates a shield of flowers
Blizzard Attack He'll call on the flowers for his shield and jump around medium length and height to crash into Mega Man, slide. Then he'll stop and shoot the flowers at Mega Man, jump. Hit him then.

Tomahawk Man
Silver Tomahawk swings a Tomahawk that curves upwards like F(x)=1/x
Plant Barrier The brave start by swinging to Tomahawks to the left and then the right, be far away. He shoots out the feathers from his headdress. Mega Man should jump or slide. By now you should have use Plant Barrier and at this point you should crash into him. Tomahawk Man then jumps around and repeat.

Yamato Man
Yamato Spear shoots a spearhead forward
Silver Tomahawk He starts by jumping high but not far. When jumping he shoots a spread of three spears downward dodge. When he lands he throws his spear, jump, then he goes to the edge of the screen and dashes across it. Repeat. You can hit him whenever the opportunity arises, the most favorable is when he's jumping because of the arc.

Knight Man
Knight Chain shoots a Mace Ball that goes strait, curves up and then returns to place of origin
Yamato Spear Knight Man will jump around then stop and launch the Chain Mace. It will extend, pause, and then return. Take advantage of the pause to shoot him with Yamato Spear. (His shield is useless.) Repeat.

Centaur Man
Centaur Flash creates a flash that deals damage to all robots on the screen
Knight Chain Centaur Man doesn't move but teleports around. He attacks by stopping time (isn't this familiar) and shooting a large, slow bullet. The bullet will easily go over Mega Man but when it hits the wall it sprays out into several, which are harder to dodge. Use Knight Chain, which will easily hit Centaur Man while Mega Man, is still on the ground and moves during stopped time.

Wind Man
Wind Storm shoots a small tornado that slides until it hits a wall or enemy
Centaur Flash Wind Man moves by blowing himself apart then re-piecing himself back together in another place (like Cyrax's Teleport from MK3). Wind Man will attack first by trying to suck Mega Man towards him, slide away. Then he'll shoot two spiraling fans. Move so they go right over and under Mega Man. Wind Man then moves and repeat. Use Centaur Flash whenever he's together.

X Castle

Rail Bots
Flame Blast, Yamato Spear, Knight Chain These robots ride the rails on the wall (background) of the room. Dodge and use either weapon preferable Knight Chain since it has a wider range.

Wall Runner
Silver Tomahawk This is a machine that slides up and down the right wall will throwing boulders at Mega Man. Use the arc of Silver Tomahawk to hit it.

Rogue Met
Blizzard Attack The Met will either shoot horizontally or shots that bounce towards you. Slide and dodge appropriately and fire Blizzard Attack on the tank. If you aim right three snow flakes will pelt it.

Mr. X War Machine
Flame Blast He's as bad as Wily and Robotnic. Mr. X has a giant machine with a chain mace of deadly spikes and normal shots. Fire Flame Blast and he will go down very quickly.

Interlude
It seems that Mr. X. was Dr. Wily all along. Surprise, surprise.

Skull Castle

Brach Bot
Yamato Spear Spit fire, form weakness exploiting tracks, repeat. Avoid the flames as best you can, and use to track to fire at its head.

I don't remember.
Wind Storm ???

Dr. Wily War Machine
Mega Buster, Knight Chain, Silver Tomahawk Like Mega Man IV Wily's Machine will try to crush Mega Man while shooting spiraling shots. Slide and hit him with the Mega Buster. After some explosions he gets faster. The first version is weak against Knight Chain but so is the second. I favor to save that for the second version.

Escape Pod
Silver Tomahawk I hate these things. Wily again plays hide and seek with Mega Man while shooting four spiraling shots from the pod. When he appears fire a Silver Tomahawk at him. Slide to the other side, turn, and repeat.

Epilogue
Mega Man once again saves the day possible for good. Dr. Wily finally surrendered and Mega Man leads he out in irons. Now Dr. Wily has all the time to plot and scheme in prison.
