    Damn, you really need to get lucky on his pattern. Some tornados you just can't avoid :(

    Time Stopper + Leaf Shield can make this fight super easy.

    I've been wondering how it's possible that it's so easy with time stopper and leaf shield, bc it didn't work for me. Then I realized I was on difficult mode. ;_;

    How does Time Stopper help exactly? You can't jump over Air Man's head and you can't switch to Leaf Shield until Time Stopper runs out anyways
    ribb2112 26 Nov 2022 22:49
    You use Time Stopper on one of the dodgeable patterns of wind and then jump through them and when it finishes use leaf shield.

    Oh I didn't realize you could take him down that fast LOL, guess I shouldn't have underestimated Normal difficulty

    Took forever to get a favorable RNG layout. Had to redo the stage a few times but the time stopper/leaf shield combo works great. Just remember you only get one shot at it as your time stopper will be used up completely.

    how to win: get lucky.

    If you want an easier time, you'll NEED Flash Man's ability, and Wood Man's ability is a requirement. You'll need at least one good RNG pattern where there is enough space as to use the leaf shield without colliding into either Air Man or his air shots. Use time stopper when the pattern looks right, and once it expires, swap to the leaf shield immediately and get two good hits into him. For better results, use the time stopper as soon as the pattern is in position.

    This one took a LONG time to finally get, and I am NOT looking forward to the no-hit boss rush just for this fight alone. Heavily dependent on RNG, as many patterns are unavoidable. Would be a lot more manageable with the slide ability, but that didn't exist until Mega Man III.
