The Noise Force Big Bang (ノイズフォースビッグバン), NFB for short, is a special attack that can be used in Mega Man Star Force 3 when Mega Man pulls off a counter in battle while in a Noise Change, Multi-Noise Form, or Finalized Noise. The big bang appears in the form of a usable Battle Card - as with other cards gained through countering - with the Star Force insignia on it. It is used like a regular, screen-dimming Battle Card. Its attack will even get boosted by certain Noises that give attack bonuses to all cards of a certain element and not simply non-dimming cards (Cygnus, Wolf, Ophiuca, and Crown for example).
Whenever a player is using their Final Noise state and accessing the Meteor Folder, the player may find some Noise Force Big Bangs in the form of actual Battle Cards which can be selected like normal Battle Cards. After the final battle, the player will enter a fixed rematch against the final boss, and will start in their Finalized state, eventually gaining the Noise Force Big Bang for the Finalized Noise of their version of the game, which presents the only way to end the fight.
Noise Force Big Bang is the successor to both Star Force Big Bang and Link Force Big Bang. The only three similar big bangs are the Atomic Blazer of Fire Leo, Elemental Cyclone of Green Dragon, and Thunder Bolt Blade of Thunder Zerker.

Noise Force Big Bang Cards[]
Not technically Battle Cards, Noise Force Big Bang cards appear in the form of usable Battle Cards when MegaMan performs a counter in Vibrant Noise, Multi-Noise, or Finalized Noise Forms, or as selectable cards when accessing the Meteor Server. They are used like regular, screen-dimming Battle Cards, and occupy the same space as a standard card on the Custom Menu.
Trivia[]
- Thunderbolt Blade reuses the Zerker tribe's sword, despite that the OOPArt was lost at the end of the second game. However, this was explained by Omega-Xis in the second game, with him saying that even though they lost the OOPArt, they still kept the power of it.
- The Japanese version of Meteor Light Barrage is written as “メテオライトバレッジが” in-game without any spaces but the manga has it spaced out on different lines as “メテオ - ライト - バレッジ”, indicating a split between the Meteor and Light. It’s romanized as “Meteorite Barrage” in early fan translations due to the difficult interpretation. The attack animation itself uses meteors of light.
- Rogue Noise lacks a Noise Force Big Bang.
