Knight Man

a Robot Master from Mega Man 6 designed to resemble a medieval knight with resistant armor. He was created primarily for combat, with high attack and defense attributes at the cost of lower mobility due to his weight. It is said that he has defeated over 1000 robots in duels.

His Special Weapon, the Knight Crusher, is a strong flail with a long chain in his left arm which allows him to attack with huge power from great distances. In his right arm, he holds a resistant knight's shield, allowing him to block almost all attacks from the front.

Knight Man is one of the two Mega Man 6 Robot Masters to be designed specifically for combat (the other being Tomahawk Man), though not explicitly for the First Annual Robot Tournament. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world. Because of his spirit of chivalry and honor, Yamato Man has great respect for him, and ironically, his weakness is the Yamato Spear, due to its ability to go around his shield and pierce his armor.

Overview
General breakdowns of passive abilities, gimmicks, and their movement + health.

Main
Knight Crush

Knight Man temporarily puts his shield away swings his mace forwards. It can be angled, and it can return to hit opponents, though when it comes back it does half the damage. While Knight Man is charging, his shield is down and he spins around his mace, dealing low-range AOE damage and some knockback. Fully charging Knight Crush turns it into Super Knight Crush, which makes the Mace bigger, faster, and stronger for one hit.

Alt
Shield Bash

A short charge forward with your shield that deals small multi-hit damage that stuns opponents and deals decent knockback.
