The Charge Shot (チャージショット)[1][2] is a recurring combat technique in the Mega Man franchise. It is the ability to charge up an attack by holding the fire button, then release it to attack with increased power.
In the Games
Classic era
X era
In the X era, the X-Buster's Charge Shot is one of X's most useful abilities. Like in the Classic era, he has two levels: the first-stage Charge Shot 1, and the second-stage Charge Shot 2. In the manual for Rockman X, the Charge Shot 2 was given the title of Hyper X Blaster (ハイパーXブラスター).[3] In Mega Man X8, X gained an additional third charging stage known as Charge Shot MAX.[4]
Zero also uses Charge Shots in several appearances. In Mega Man X, Zero uses Charge Shots to damage Vile's Ride Armor. In Mega Man X2, Zero uses Charge Shot attacks as a boss. In Mega Man X3, the playable Zero has four Charge Shot levels; second-stage and above shots are called the Hyper Zero Blaster (ハイパーゼロブラスター),[Citation needed] and the fourth one also allows him to swing his Z-Saber.
In each game, X's Arm Parts grant a new Charge Shot level. It is often more powerful than or has a use different from his default Charge Shots.
Zero era
In the Zero era, all of Zero's weapons can be charged up for charge attacks. In Mega Man Zero and Zero 2, his skill with each weapon must be leveled up before he can do so, while in Zero 3 and Zero 4 he can charge all weapons by default, as these games did away with the experience system.
ZX era
In the ZX era, Model X's X Buster and Model ZX's ZX Buster are both capable of two levels of Charge Shots, called Charge Shot (S) and Charge Shot (L).[5] Model X is also capable of a third charge level, which stores an additional Charge Shot (L) similar to the Double Charge Shot from Mega Man X2.
Besides Charge Shots, every Megamerge and A-Trans in the series also has at least one charge attack at a second level. For example, charging Model FX's Knuckle Buster to level two results in the attack Megaton Crush. Some also change into brand new attacks if a direction is held while releasing. For example, charging Buckfire the Gaxelleroid's Flame Arrow and holding Up on release results in his Rockit attack.
