Statuses affect a player or opponent positively or negatively.
Damaged Status
When MegaMan is attacked, he is usually put into a damaged status.
Most attacks apply both flinching and flashing, but some only flinching. Additionally, there are attacks like the normal MegaBuster that do neither.
Flinching
Most attacks cause MegaMan to reel his head back. This makes him susceptible to follow-up attacks, as he cannot act during this state. Equipping Super Armor prevents flinching.
Flashing
MegaMan is in an intangibility state where he cannot be harmed except by flashing-piercing attacks. Getting hit by most attacks will cause this state.
This state is also known as being “invisible”.

Status Conditions
These are special statuses MegaMan can receive during battle.
Paralyzed
MegaMan is shocked in place and cannot do anything until it wears off, or if he's struck by an attack that causes flashing while he does not have Super Armor.
The paralysis length varies on the attack. This condition can also be given when the opponent is countered just as they’re about to attack. Mashing reduces the amount of time you are paralyzed for.
Frozen
MegaMan is frozen in place and cannot do anything until it wears off, or he's struck by an attack that causes flashing while he does not have SuperArmor.
If he is struck by a Break attack, the damage is doubled and the frost is removed. Mashing reduces the amount of time you are frozen for.
Bubbled
MegaMan is bubbled in place and cannot do anything until it wears off, or be struck by an attack.
If he is struck by an Elec attack, damage is doubled. Mashing reduces the amount of time you are bubbled for, and speeds up the animation.
Confused
MegaMan’s controls are reversed. Left is right, up is down, etc.
Beast Out lock-on will not home in on the enemy.
Blind
You cannot see your enemy’s location nor the obstacles they have ownership of.
Beast Out lock-on will not home in on the enemy.
Immobilized
MegaMan cannot move in this state. He can still perform attacks.
Invulnerable
MegaMan is in a state where he cannot be damaged or receive status conditions. Also known as Invincible.
