MMLC Robot Master List: Blizzard Man

Number: DWN-041

Weapon: Blizzard Attack

Weakness: Flame Blast

Originally a monitoring robot at the South Pole, it was modified for combat. Dodge its charge attack by jumping near the center of the arena.

We’re in Mega Man 6 territory now, amici, and that means each of the robot masters we’ll be looking at henceforth were reprogrammed for evil and world domination by the utterly nefarious but totally not suspicious in any other way “Mr. X.” Today let’s look at Blizzard Man.

Blizzard Man perpetuated a tradition of cold-themed bosses which began with Ice Man in the very first game, and would continue well on into the Mega Man X series with the likes of Chill Penguin and Frost Walrus. These bosses are often said to be some of the easiest, and I would venture that Blizzard Man fits right in, from his highly dodgeable attacks to his utterly nonthreatening appearance.

Essentially what we’re dealing with here is a giant snowball on skis. Anche, his primary attack is to summon four snowflakes at you. More dangerous is his rolling attack, but this too can be avoided with a little well timed jumping. If you find yourself having trouble, you can use the Flame Blast for an extra leg up.

Defeating Blizzard Man will earn you the deadly Blizzard Attack, allowing Mega Man to summon his possedere snowflakes. Let the massacre begin.
