Blade Man

From Mega Man 10, Blade Man says en garde! Blade Man is a frail class with mediocre damage at times, but if used right can be quite damaging. Slash Man for the thinking man, Blade Man's main strength comes from his dash, allowing him to cling to walls and cover extreme ground. Blade Man is a class with a certain finesse, and the key to playing him is practice, practice, practice!
