Rush Coil
Rush Coil is Mega Man's up special move appearing in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. First appearing as one of Rush's abilities in Mega Man 3, it has since become a staple throughout the classic Mega Man series. When used, Mega Man summons Rush to launch him into the air using a spring on his back. If Rush is summoned on the ground, Mega Man can spring off of him a second time for a second, higher jump; however, other fighters may also jump on Rush while he is summoned.
The first custom variant for this move is Tornado Hold, the special weapon obtained for defeating Tengu Man in Mega Man 8. When used, Mega Man creates a tornado that launches him into the air and damages nearby opponents. The second variant for this move is Beat, another recurring character in the Mega Man series starting with Mega Man 5; when used, Mega Man summons Beat to carry him into the air for a limited time; Mega Man can also move from side to side while flying, but cannot stop flying once Beat has been used.
