Styles come in two categories, which are then mixed-and-matched for the final style. Rather than list each style combination, I list the categories that can be combined.

Style Type

Appears In: MMBN2, MMBN3, EXEWS
Guts Style
This increases MegaMan’s Power rating, thus allowing his shots to do more damage. Also he won’t reel from attacks, which means you don’t have to worry about getting interrupted. Mastered by using the MegaBuster a lot.
Appears In: MMBN2, MMBN3, EXEWS
Shield Style
You get a shield with this one which can be activated by pressing back and B with the right timing. Mastered by using defensive chips a lot.

HP: 300
AT: 15
Operator: Arashi
Appears In: MMBN2, MMBCC
AirMan.EXE
He shoots similar to Mettaurs. He also can form tornadoes; these can’t be harmed so just pay attention to the speeds they are moving and dodge around them. When AirMan charges up, he’ll form large tornadoes on the glowing squares which give their locations away for you so you can dodge.
HP: 600

CutMan.EXE
CutMan will form a cutter which wanders your area in a circle. He will also throw the cutter off his head forward. But this cutter boomerangs, which means its effective range is only 3 tiles. Finally, sometimes he’ll just move in front of you and cut with the blades on his head; this attack only hits the square immediately in front of him.

FreezeMan.EXE
FreezeMan tries to keep himself encased in ice, and he can’t be harmed until you hit the ice enough to shatter it. Meanwhile he’ll use Tower-like ice attacks and also blow on you to make your dodging more difficult. Sometimes he’ll make icicles fall from above as well.

GateMan.EXE
GateMan’s main attack is to open a compartment on his chest and either fire a cannon or send little men after you. The men track your movements so rapid-fire them to get rid of them. When GateMan gets to about half health he’ll create a shield which blocks your shots and occasionally attacks. Use a punch attack to get rid of it, or just dodge it and use attacks which go over or through it.

GutsMan.EXE
GutsMan can crack the blocks on your side, but this can be to your advantage if you use it carefully. Break a block to the very right of your side of the playing field and stand on the block just behind it, and GutsMan’s main attack will be unable to hit you (but you can still shoot at him when he is across from you). Just watch out for his rocket fist.
HP: 900
AT: 100
Operator: Mr. Match
Appears In: MMBN2, MMBCC
HeatMan.EXE
His primary attack is a Tower-like burst. But when he gets to about half health he’ll start doing things like dropping onto your side as a block and breaking the tile he lands on (turning it into lava). He’ll also hit three random squares with fire. He’s invulnerable when he’s in block form.

KnightMan.EXE
Initially, KnightMan is an absolute pushover. Stand lined up with him, and he will always throw his mace. Dodge it and fire back. He only takes 1 damage when he’s holding his mace, but otherwise you can hit him hard. The problem comes in when he decides to move. KnightMan can’t walk—he hops—and when he lands he cracks all of the panels. This means you can no longer use the pattern which makes him so easy. Not to mention his other distant attack—the more deadly one which drops rocks from the sky—will leave you completely trapped if you even try to dodge because you have to move around a lot to dodge it. I would suggest multiple Repair and AreaGrab chips for this battle—the AreaGrabs force him to use a ’Grab himself (he uses PanlGrabs, strangely enough) before he can move forward (I’ve never seen him move in any other direction) which may buy you some time. Note: If you stand next to KnightMan he’ll twirl his mace around in a circle, which hurts. Try not to get stuck in that situation.

MagnetMan.EXE
At first MagnetMan’s only attack is a slow-moving energy ball that is fairly easy to avoid. You’ll have more troubles with the magnets that keep appearing on his stage, which fly forward then turn once toward you and fly off the battle field vertically (dodge or shoot them). When MagnetMan gets low on health he’ll start using an attack where he forms a blue copy of himself on your side of the screen, and the two MagnetMen slam together. This wouldn’t really be a problem if it weren’t for the other magnets. If you stop one of the MagnetMen, the other one will continue moving forward until he reaches the center of the screen (the two don’t necessarily have to touch). Note: If you use a Repair chip or otherwise remove the magnets from your side of the field, MagnetMan will use a MagLine to replace them. Since he uses this on the line where he is standing at the time, you can somewhat influence where the line gets placed. Two magnet rows next to each other aren’t very effective, so this can actually be to your advantage.

ProtoMan.EXE
ProtoMan is slower in this game; you can actually get in some hits before he puts up his shield. When he’s not attacking, he spends his time moving up and down in the column farthest from you. To attack, he’ll either throw a swipe across the screen that hits two rows, or he’ll vanish and reappear near you and swipe. Where he reappears will clue you in on what sword he is about to use: If he appears one block diagonally in front of you, he’ll use a swipe that hits your column. If he appears directly in front of you, he’s using a swing that hits all three blocks in that row. Move to dodge his swipe, then quickly move back and hit him with a super-shot or a chip while he’s recovering from his swing. If you make him reel, he’ll stop his current attack; otherwise he’ll keep going back and forth attacking you multiple times. Note: If you try to hit ProtoMan with a sword, he’ll abort his own attack and attempt to get out of the way. Smart guy. He’s usually too slow, however.

QuickMan.EXE
QuickMan will block your attacks while he’s moving around. He’s also fast (as his name suggests), so probably the only chance you’ll get to attack him is when he stops to fire his boomerang. Dodge until he throws, then move in quickly and hit him. Sometimes he throws more than one boomerang at a time, so keep on your toes.

SnakeMan.EXE
SnakeMan is something of a joke. He hides in his pot when you are lined up with him, so any time you need to grab a breather, simply stand in the center (just rapid-fire the little snakes). Of course, you can’t hurt him when he’s in his jar, so the easiest way to deal with him is to stay in the middle row until you have your shot prepared (charged up, chip ready, whatever), then move into another row and wait. When SnakeMan pops up to attack, move back center and fire. Repeat. Note: if you’re using an attack which comes out slowly, wait until SnakeMan starts firing his gun before moving back to the center, and he’ll stay up longer.

ThunderMan.EXE
The biggest hassle with this battle are the clouds which get in your way. You can touch them without hurting yourself, and even force one of them to stop moving by standing in its path, but if you do this it’ll charge up and zap you. ThunderMan himself will cause bolts of lightning to fall on your side on the flashing squares.

ToadMan.EXE
ToadMan alternates between the two lily pads and firing musical notes at you which will track your location and will briefly paralyze you if they hit. He’ll also appear in front of you occasionally to slap you (usually he tries this after he’s stunned you). The lily pads shoot tadpoles straight forward so it’s best to stay in the center of your area when possible. Try standing on the far left, in the center row, moving up or down just before ToadMan’s notes reach you.

Bass moves around the battle field randomly and somewhat slowly; when he stops and holds both hands in front of him, he’ll fire a shot straight ahead. He also has an attack where he charges up and produces a flurry of multiple shots on all rows—just hit him with an attack that makes him reel to knock him out of it. Nothing really dangerous. If Bass is much of a threat, he’s never shown that side of himself for me.

Gospel
The most frequent attack you’ll have to look out for are the fragments that continuously move along the rows. They can be destroyed but have roughly 20 HP so it’s not worth your time trying to shoot them unless you’ve got high AT. Also you’re better off saving your charged shots for Gospel itself, since it is invulnerable most of the time. Most of Gospel’s own attacks go straight down the center of the field, except for its Guts Man like attack which tracks you. Gospel can also use NaviChips, literally turning a piece of itself temporarily into a Navi and then attacking you using that Navi’s attacks. This can be an advantage to you because you can shoot the Navi to damage Gospel. Finally, when Gospel gets low on health (“low” being about 400 HP) it will start using its ultimate attack, which involves blowing you toward it while at the same time shooting bursts which hit about three columns from Gospel’s head.

Viruses

These move up and down in a column, then when they are lined up with you, they shoot forward. They go all the way across the screen (across your area as well), then when they vanish off the left side of the screen, they float back down on their side where they had left. A Fishy’s dash will get interrupted if it hits an object or another virus, so you can stop one by positioning yourself behind something else.

Flamey
These fireballs wait until you line up to shoot them before attacking. Their attack involves destroying all three panels in their row on your side.

Goofball
A cloud with a mask. It is generally only vulnerable while it is attacking. To attack, it places its mask forward one tile and then surrounds itself with poison that slowly drains your HP. As the mask is still in front of it, you need to use attacks which can either bypass or go through the mask. Hitting the mask with a punch-type attack will abort the Goofball’s attack but it won’t permanently destroy the mask.

These hands move to the column right before you side of the battle field and produce time bombs on the first tile on your side.

Also, try tossing bombs and other such Battle Chips over the time bombs onto the Handy itself.

Cannons that look like Pac-Man. They are invulnerable to most attacks while sitting motionless. However right before they attack, they turn red and then open their mouths.
