Centaur Man (ケンタウロスマン Kentaurosuman?, also known as "Kentauros Man") is a Robot Master that originally worked in an old museum. After he heard about the 1st Annual Robot Tournament, he entered the competition to restore the museum with the prize money, but was reprogrammed by Mr. X.
In Mega Man 6, he's equipped with an arm cannon on his right arm whose shots spreads on impact, and his Centaur Flash has space distortion abilities, allowing him to temporarily halt time, although he has to consume a large amount of energy to activate it. He is weak to Knight Man's Knight Crush.
In Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters he uses the Centaur Arrow, an energy arrow shot diagonally up or down from his arm cannon. He also uses a shield for defense, a naginata, and has the help of Heli Metalls. He's weak to Gyro Attack in this game.

Strategy

Mega Man 6
Edit
Centaur Man attacks by shooting a plasma bullet that splits onto seven and spread out when it comes on contact with a wall. The player has to avoid it by finding an opening through the bullets and going through it. After that, he has two attacks: he may also run to tackle Mega Man, which is avoided by jumping over him, or also dissapear into another dimension, then reappear where Mega Man was when he dissapeared and attack. He also activates the Centaur Flash to stop time sufficient enough to shoot a bullet to the wall and make the spread out bullets hit Mega Man. His weakness is the Knight Crush, and defeats him in seven hits.

Rockman 6 manga
Edit
In the Rockman 6 manga, Centaur Man has a base in Innocent City. After Knight Man's defeat, a damaged Brain Break informs Centaur Man of what happened and Centaur Man cries. When Mega Man reaches an area with two shutters in Centaur Man's base Mega Man goes inside the lower shutter and faces the angry Centaur Man, a powerful opponent that is able to warp, split his shots and stop time. After a difficult battle, Mega Man manages to win, but the Centaur Man he defeated was a dummy robot and he is warped outside the base. Mega Man must invade the base again to fight against the real Centaur Man, this time going inside the upper shutter. Mega Man has another difficult battle, but this time he uses Knight Crush. The Knight Crush hits Centaur Man's helmet, breaking it and revealing that Centaur Man is actually a long-haired woman that loves Knight Man. Centaur Man angrily continues attacking, but Mega Man defeats her with Knight Crush and leaves her base sad.
Later, Mega Man fights against a Copy Robot with Centaur Man's form in Wily's base, and in the ending the real Centaur Man appears.
