== [[Mega Man (
* Mega Man's original crowning moment of awesome was defeating the six robot masters and Dr. Wily for the very first time. To make it even more awesome, this was before Energy and Weapon Tanks. And Mega Man was, like his sister Roll, originally designed as a housekeeping robot.
* In Megaman 7, if you time it right you can defeat Turbo Man and Spring Man with Noise Crush as their health bars begin to fill up.
Line 17:
** The ''Hadouken'' was a translation joke, it's still [[Badass]] and awesome, of course.
*** The real name of his attack is even more so: '''Big Bang Blast'''.
*** To make things a bit more awesome - this scene is a direct [[Shout
* 8 has the helper robots show up to help you in the two aerial stages. Eddie drops bombs. Beat does a bird missile. Auto, the item maker, shoots a freaking bazooka. And you can have them all on the screen at once, with Rush and Mega himself shooting their own brand of plasma goodness. And one of these is in a Wily Stage, where you even face a boss with this possible setup.
* Wily has a CMoA in ''Mega Man 9'' when he {{spoiler|''talks Light's robots into rebelling''.}} Yes, you read that right, he {{spoiler|''talks'' Light's own robots into rebelling against humanity, simply by giving a very valid and true argument about their being arbitrarily destroyed after a set time despite still being very much useful as human servants}}. It's a shame {{spoiler|Capcom didn't follow up on it}}, because it would've been an awesome twist to the entire Mega Man series.
Line 27:
** The moment in question where {{spoiler|Roll gives her medicine to Mega Man for him to take and be able to stop Wily}} can count as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
== [[
* DesertMan's scenario. When Sunayama's finished explaining his [[Evil Plan]] to Chaud, just as Chaud is about to hand his PET over to the villains... Lan spins around a corner, shouts "MEGAMAN, ATTACK!", and ''tosses his PET case'', MegaMan and all, right at Sunayama's head (as you can imagine, this doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]). In a series where almost all combat is virtual, this was very refreshing.
* In the fourth game, ShadeMan, who's completely immune to MegaMan's attacks, demands that he and Lan return the DarkChip they found. Out of options, MegaMan tosses him the chip... and then ''shoots it in midair'', destroying it. ShadeMan is not pleased. (Fortunately, MegaMan gets a way to damage him in the ensuing battle.)
* In the sixth game, MegaMan gets taken over by a giant Internet monster [[Sealed Evil in
** Actually, by that time (when you need to save him from that cult in the Undernet, not when MegaMan first absorbs Gregar/Falzar), I believe you already have the first three crosses(Aqua/Heat + Tengu/Slash + Tomahawk/Elec), so you can use any of those three. Saving MegaMan with Elecman has never felt so epic.
** And following the last prelim of the contest, you have access to ''all'' Link Navis. So, technically, you can send the [[Grim Reaper]] into Hell to go save MegaMan.
Line 42:
** Bonus points for being the impetus that gave Lan, Yuichirou, AND Wily the chance to ultimately prove that point by the end of MMBN5.
* MMBN6: Joe Mach's awesome {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}, courtesy of beating the piss out of {{spoiler|his former World 3 allies}} because his conscience couldn't stand the thought of those assholes hurting a child.
* Back to BN5, there's the Brain Navi of both games beating the living shit out of {{spoiler|1=the impostors of himself and MegaMan.}} Cool when SearchMan does it in ''ProtoMan'', but more awesome in ''Colonel'', considering the fact that your Brain here is ''[[Took a Level
* The very end of the series. {{spoiler|1=MegaMan has been taken over by the Cybeast. Lan can't do anything to save him. The Megabeast then warps over to Iris and Colonel, weak from fighting the opposite Cybeast. The two unite to form the original Colonel with the emotion that became Iris. Colonel then rushes at the Megabeast, '''''tears the Cybeast soul out of his body in a single strike''''' and then performs a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to destroy it once and for all.}}
== [[
* Juno, the final boss of the first game is a fairly non-threatening [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|purple-haired]] robot with a relatively featureless tubular body. After being destroyed, his head survives, and he reveals you only destroyed his life support. Then, in a [[Shout
** Juno as a final boss has a moment. His defenses are staggeringly high, especially compared to all the other bosses in the game. He doesn't have very much health, maybe both forms' gauges combined to equal Bruno's, but he takes so little damage and hits so hard that one missed step means getting smacked in the face with an attack that takes anywhere from a quarter of your health to crushing your Shield and leaving you with no health.
* Speaking of Juno, he crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] of the Bonnes, so they decided to free Mega Man from Juno's trap and send him off to stop Juno from destroying the island.
Line 52:
* Data, the monkey-like robot who up until then did not much more than save your game, stopping Eden from destroying the island simply by telling the computer Juno was malfunctioning and his orders were invalid.
** It's hard to overstate just how big a twist it is (for both the player and Mega Man, who spends most of the scene with his jaw hanging open) when the character who, up until that point, had just been the squeaky, cute little [[Non-Human Sidekick]]/save-point suddenly turns around and pulls a one-man [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment using nothing but his own administrative authority...
{{quote|
'''Computer''': Command reroute acknowledged. }}
* "Tron, get on board! It's time to activate...'''[[Humongous Mecha|Bruno]]'''!"
Line 59:
** Forget "thousands of fans". Basically the whole fanbase is putting up a fight for this. All the more awesome when you understand that the Mega Man fanbase is one of the most [[Broken Base|Broken Bases]] in video game ''history''.
== [[
* The third game has one at the end. After beating the [[Big Bad]], it comes back as powerful as ever. After a quick motivational speech from a thought-deceased comrade, Geo takes [[Heroic Willpower|full control]] of [[The Corruption]] and transforms into his ultimate form. Though this is fairly par for the course, the CMOA happens after he transforms - he stands there for about five seconds, then ''glances over his shoulder'' at the [[Big Bad]]. Nothing more. Cue unloseable boss fight.
* Another one for the villains in Star Force 3: {{spoiler|The first few scenarios are pretty light-hearted and more or less typical early game fare, until you beat Club Strong and [[The Dragon|Joker]] appears for the first time. There's barely time to react before he utterly dominates the heroes, nearly kills Luna and [[Mood Whiplash|whiplashes the plot]] so hard it's a miracle it doesn't just break in two}}.
Line 72:
* Star Force 3 basically took the plot from the final chapter of [[Battle Network]] 4 and extrapolated it into an [[Evil Plan]] worth acknowledging. Some respect for the writers is due.
* Le Mu gets one for being the [[Physical God|hardest goddamn thing to kill]] in the '''whole timeline'''.
{{quote|
* Achieving the Tribe King. Watch your opponents tremble.
** Being a fighter that ''necessitates'' the Tribe King. [[
* Heartless {{spoiler|wrenching control of Meteor G away from King. As she does so she points out how utterly misled he was; not one of his subjects ever granted him any value as leader -- even Joker was in his employ only so he could do what he felt like.}}
** King {{spoiler|wrenching it back by becoming an EM Being. And then fusing with the Crimson Dragon.}}
Line 80:
** Burai, near death, showing up basically to reaffirm that he wants Orihime and her crew to GTFO. He ends up in a fight with Hollow, which has them both frequency-jumping and fighting ''at the same time''.
** Goyouda, totally out of his [[Super Weight]], as always, climbing down to try and retrieve the Sword of Berserk from its pedestal.
{{quote|
** Harp Note saving him from being suffocated by Phantom Black... and then Cancer Bubble saving ''her'' by Tidal Waving Phantom Black and Yeti Blizzard before they've had the opportunity to do much more than look threatening. And then he and Harp Note bicker about his sense of priorities.
{{quote|
Cancer Bubble: But I'm an FM-ian...
Harp Note: No buts! You'd die too, if this world disappears! }}
** YB and PB are both washed away. Orihime just summons a barrier ''out of nowhere'', totally unflappable.
Line 90:
** Tribe King Rockman taking everything Hollow has without doing so much as adjusting his balance, and then dispersing Hollow's Lightning Bazooka with a wave of his sword.
** Luna, Gonta, and Kizamaro back on Earth are surrounded by viruses and ''still fighting''. Luna gets some small [[Character Development]], [[Loves My Alter Ego|too]].
** Tribe King Rockman ''cleaves Hollow in two''. {{spoiler|And Orihime's magnificent, totally unexplained [[Freak
** Tribe King Rockman and Burai hitting Ra Mu with the [[All Your Colors Combined|Kaiser Delta]] [[Limit Break|Breaker]].
** The whole episode deserves a Brilliant Animation Gold Star.
Line 103:
*** Also part of Gemini Spark's debut, Geo deciding to run off and fight Gemini with or without Mega's help.
** Goyouda, who hangs out near the bottom of the series' [[Super Weight]], regularly entering battle with superhuman foes, including the viruses, [[Monster of the Week|the virus-man]], the FM-ians, and the UMAs, not to mention ''[[Planet Eater|Andromeda]]''. He insists his subordinates show the same dedication.

** Crown Thunder gets a little bit [[Crazy Awesome]] in his debut; he surfs around on a set of Roller Coaster cars as he fights.
== [[Mega Man (
* In "Electric Nightmare", Mega Man steals Pharaoh Man's power. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dSJN5LgsE Instead of being cowed, he punches him in the face].
* Of all people, Dr. Wily got one in "The Mega Man in the Moon". When a human girl, Tina, stowed away on the rocket ship to see her father, Wily promptly held her hostage. When Mega came to save her, Wily physically grabbed Tina and told Mega to take a hike or else he'd activate her jetpack. Sending her into space. Mega promptly left and Wily was free to continue his plan.
Line 112:
* Near the end of "Mega-Pinocchio", Mega Man pretended to be evil to get close enough to steal Magnet Man's power. How did he accomplish this? With a high-five.
* Protoman got one in "Bro Bots". When Mega Man found out that he was [[Heel Face Mole|only pretending to be good]], he was understandably angry. However, Mega couldn't act to stop him and Wily because of a 'scrambler chip' Proto had planted on him earlier. Protoman offered to remove it if his brother would join him. When Mega refused...
{{quote|
* Protoman got another one in "Showdown at Red Gulch". Wily had his robots powered up with meteorite fragments, and Proto warned Mega that he was out of his league. Mega Man ignored his warning and tried to get him anyway. Protoman's response?
{{quote|
* ''Eddie'' got one in "Mega-Pinocchio". When Mega Man jumped in front of Protoman's shot to [[Monumental Damage|protect the statue]] of [[Abraham Lincoln]], he was unable to move. Protoman went to finish him off...and Eddie charged up the stairs, ''knocked Protoman over'', and gave Mega Man an Energy <s> Tank</s> Can to power him back up.
* The mayor of the city got one in "The Big Shake". Dr. Wily invented an earthquake machine that, well, created earthquakes. After an attack on Light's lab, Wily believed he'd killed them all. Wily then threatened the mayor, telling him Mega and Light were out of commission permanently, to submit, and to be quick about it as he had other cities and countries to deal with. The mayor refused and told him to shake the city to the ground. They wouldn't surrender. He'd rule nothing.
Line 129:
* Dr. Light got one in "The Mega Man in the Moon" when he interrupted Wily by cutting into his transmission screen; generally Wily did that to the good guys.
** He got another in "Cold Steel" when, after being freed of brainwashing, said this in response to Wily's tirade.
{{quote|
'''Light:''' Maybe because that's all you know how to build, Dr. Wily. }}
== [[Mega Man (
* Proto Man not taking any damage from Elec Man, and then {{spoiler|one-hit-killing him by [[Your Head Asplode|punching his head off]].}}
* Mega Man stopping {{spoiler|Wily}}.
Line 140:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnunSRIyqWs The trailer] for Rockman Online. [[HSQ|Holy crap]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prmoKwoapn8 The SECOND trailer] for Rockman Online. ''Holy crap''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McjxOBZrmoo X vs. Zero Decisive Battle 2.] Fan-made, but really cool.
* [http://youtu.be/1VRUBV7ccsw Zero vs. Omega Zero Decisive Battle.] Same fan, but this time based on the final battle of [[
== [[Mega Man (
* Mega Man is about to finish off Wily in Issue 4, but he runs out of ammo. Wily takes advantage of the situation to fly away. Rather than let Wily escape, Mega Man runs towards a piece of metal left behind by the fight, [[Le Parkour|jumps off of it]], and proceeds to blast Wily's machine at point blank with a charged shot, keeping Wily from escaping. Also, this is the very first time Mega Man has ever fought Wily. Can't wait for the Wily fight in the Mega Man 2 arc!
* The fight with Fire Man in Issue 3. It basically amounts to [[Curb Stomp Battle|Fire Man starts taunting Mega Man, Mega freezes him before he finishes his sentence, Fire Man gets punched in the face.]]
* Wily's buried under the remains of his Wilymachine, complaining that Dr. Light's robot had beaten him, but "at least I'll die with the satisfaction of knowing ''I'' was the better man." Cue Rock digging Wily out to save his life.
