Bubble Crab, known in Japan as Bubbly Crablos (バブリー・クラブロス Baburī Kuraburosu), is a crab-based Reploid from Mega Man X2. He was once a Maverick Hunter and served in the 6th Naval Unit along with Wheel Gator (the two had a strained working relationship and always argued). Being extremely avaricious, Bubble Crab's only motivation in life was to amass great wealth; he joined Sigma's rebellion purely out of greed, as he saw it as his chance to get rich quick. He was put in charge of transportation, and tasked with defending the Mavericks' deep-sea submarine base.
Strategy
Bubble Crab has a variety of attacks that can sometimes make him difficult to fight if the player is not prepared. He often encases himself in a giant bubble that takes a good amount of damage to be destroyed, and he can also launch mini crab drones and bubble rings at X. His room also has a rising and sinking tide which adds further challenge to the battle. He falls quite easily to the Spin Wheel, however, as the weapon is capable of instantly destroying his bubble shields.
Crab also has a fairly easy AI pattern to manipulate: whenever X is above him, he will jump upwards with his claws. If the tide is high enough, it is possible to lock him into this pattern by jumping over him and back, firing as he hits the ground, then repeating the process. If done correctly, Bubble Crab may never use a different attack.
