Megalon
Megalon is a middle of the road character. He doesn't specialize in a particular area but is decent all around, except he is a little slow. His most damaging attacks tend to be close range, while he has enough diversity to keep opponents guessing. Almost all of his regular moves, excluding the throws, are easy to execute too, which makes him an ideal character for beginners.

Moves

Stab (Y)

A very quick attack, that does little damage, as Megalon quickly raises his drill hand and then punches forward with it. This move can also be performed while ducking.

Drill (X)

A very easy move to perform with devastating results, Megalon's drill is as the name suggests, where the monster punches with one of his arms as the drill on the end begins to spin rapidly. The player can hold X to have the attack last longer. This move can also be performed while ducking.

Aerial Stab (While jumping, Y)

While in mid-air, Megalon will swing his drill hand downward to try and strike the opponent. Due to the angle, and reach, this attack is fairly good for attacking foes regardless of how high they are, and deals slightly more damage then his regular stab.

Aerial Drill (While jumping, X)

During this attack, Megalon raises his drill hand as it begins to spin over his head. Unfortunately, this attack has nearly no range to it, and, because it's pointed directly overhead, will only hit foes that are higher than Megalon is.

Kick (While jumping, Down, Y)

A simple mid-air move, where Megalon kicks with one of his feet. In contrast to his regular stab aerial attack: kick is a little quicker and is also aimed lower, but deals less damage.

Double Kick (While jumping, Down, X)

While in mid-air, Megalon can perform a double kick move, where he swings out both of his feet. This attack is surprisingly good, as it has nice reach and will knock the opponent off their feet every time it successfully connects.

Dual Drill (Forward, Forward, Y/X)

For this attack, Megalon's wings expand as he flies horizontally across the screen with his drill hands joined and spinning. Using X with the move will cause Megalon to fly farther then compared with Y. This move can be performed while in mid-air.

Leap (Hold Forward/Hold Back, A)

Megalon can leap across the screen, in either direction, by using A. Unfortunately, compared to some of the other monsters moves that aid them in moving faster, Megalon's leap is kind of cumbersome. It's not nearly as effective in moving quickly as similar moves, while there is also a delay after performing leap that leaves Megalon open to be attacked.

Lightning Bolt (Down, Forward, Y/X)

Megalon hunches down as the giant horn on his head unleashes a lightning bolt in his opponent's direction. Using Y with the attack will cause for a shorter beam; however, using X will cause for a greater delay before the bolt is fired. This move can be performed while in mid-air.

Napalm Bomb (Down, Back, Y/X)

Megalon opens its mouth and spits out a napalm bomb, aimed downwards. Upon impact with the ground, the bomb will detonate, causing a small fissure of flames to spread, with three small spires of fire appearing on each side of the bomb's impact. Using X with the attack will cause the bomb to be shot farther compared with Y.

Drill Hold (Forward, Down, B)

After placing his opponent in a hold, Megalon extends his drill hand and strikes his foe, drawing blood as he briefly digs into them with his sharp forearm.

Dynamite Kick (Back, Down, Forward, B)

With his opponent in his grasp, Megalon rears his foot back and kicks with a tremendous force, sending his foe flying across the screen.

Drill Crusher (Back, Down, Forward, Up, B)

Megalon's throw move, the Drill Crusher, is actually a series of attacks that he combos together. The throw starts out as a normal drill attack, until he raises his arm which also send his opponent moving upwards. Megalon then proceeds to drill at an angle until he flies up and uppercuts the foe with his aerial drill move.

Geothermal Napalm (Forward, Down, Back, Forward, X)

Megalon's special is similar to his regular napalm bomb, except it lasts much longer and the spires of flame produced reach much higher up into the air. Compared with the napalm bomb, this attack is also wider, as five spires of flame appear on each side of the bomb's impact.
