NetBattles
NetBattles are real time battles that take place in the Cyber World, but there are turns where you select battle chips and plan your strategy. Combat takes place on a 3x6 grid where the left half is Mega Man's area and the right half is the enemy's area. Mega Man can freely move up, down, left, or right into any panel in his area and he can use his Mega Blaster by pressing. The closer he is to an enemy, the more rapidly he can fire.

Before the battle begins you select which battle chips you will send to Mega Man. A pool of 5 chips will be randomly selected from your folder. Normally, you can select only 1 chip, however, if 2 or more chips have the same name or same code you can select some or all of them. You can also choose to not send any chips to MegaMan by selecting the ADD option. After a turn is up, you can then choose from 10 chips. You can repeat the ADD option one more time to select from up to 15 chips. After a battle chip is selected, the pool will go back to 5.

At the top of the screen is the battle gauge, which automatically fills up. When the battle gauge is full, press or  to pause the battle and return to the chip select screen. Any unused chips that MegaMan still had will be removed.

When the battle is over, you will receive either a battle chip or zennys. MegaMan will automatically have full health for the next battle.
