Battle of the 80's gaming icons!

1. Standard moves

Both Pacman and Megaman have powerful standard moves, which include throws and devistating physical strikes. However, Megaman relies more on projectile attacks than Pacman, whose more of a close quarter combatant. While Pacman often has to get face to face to fight an opponent, Megaman can hit him from a distance. There is a reason why guns replaced swords as the main sidearm of soldiers.

Lets not forget too that Pacman, having far more physical assaults than projectile based strikes, will be expending way more energy that Megaman; he could potentially tire out before Megaman needs a breather.

EDGE: MEGAMAN!

2: Special moves

Once again, Megaman has a major projectile attack advantage. The leaf shield alone allows both protection as well as attack, and his black hole attack and subsequent duplicate Megamen attack will overcome Pacman's supergiant form. Indeed, much of Pacman's attacks seem more cartoonish, less serious than Megaman's strikes, a good indicator of effectiveness and devistation. Megaman's got the projectile superiority, better tech, and has less energy-draining attacks. Once again, Megaman has superiority.

EDGE: MEGAMAN!

3. X-factors!

Pacman has superiority in close quarter combat, killer instinct/brutality, and agility/arial mobility, while Megaman has superior strength and ranged attacks. While this means that Pacman has a 3 to 2 advantage, we cannot forget that Megaman can shoot Pacman before he draws close. Pacman's arial superiority is impressive, yet Megaman can shoot him before he can land a strike. You can be a kung fu master and try to dropkick me, but if I have a revolver, I can plug you before you can get close. Once again, its better to take your enemy out from a distance than it is up close. Megaman has the superior technology to do this, and since he is made mostly out of metal, with mostly metallic skin, I would be so bold as to say he can take far more of a pounding than Pacman.

Though Pacman has more x factors in his corner, Megaman has the big one that ultimately counts.
