He usually attacks with anchors and parts of junk robots. Being adept in "DNA Resurrection", he is capable of creating clones of previous Mavericks, like [[Sting Chameleon]], [[Magna Centipede]], and [[Blast Hornet]]. Despite being a shark, he's weak against water (probably because he's made of metal and will rust), so use [[Meteor Rain]] (if [[Mega Man X (character)|X]]) or [[Ensuizan]] (if [[Zero]]).

"Heh heh heh. You have excellent DNA, don't you? I'd like to analyze your DNA once."
―Metal Shark Player, Mega Man X6

Metal Shark Player, also known as Metalshark Prayer (メタルシャーク・プレイヤー Metarushāku Pureiyā) in Japan, is a hammerhead shark-based Reploid created by Gate to work as a member of a recycling research team.

History

His job was to oversee the analysis and control of DNA at the facility and was very skilled in his work. Player's abilities in DNA analysis soon led him to experiment in the recreation of Reploids using the DNA of retired Mavericks. Gate still used and encouraged his work despite "DNA Resurrection" being deemed illegal by the government. Player's activities were eventually discovered and he was disposed of as punishment. Gate later revives him as one of his Nightmare Investigators, putting him back in charge of the recycling plant.

Strategy

He usually attacks with anchors and parts of junk robots. Being adept in "DNA Resurrection", he is capable of creating clones of previous Mavericks, like Sting Chameleon, Magna Centipede, and Blast Hornet. Despite being a shark, he's weak against water (probably because he's made of metal and will rust), so use Meteor Rain (if X) or Ensuizan (if Zero).

He will then swim below (his fin will be visible, and will inflict damage if touched), then he'll jump straight up out of the junk, almost to the top of the screen.
  • Metal Head: Metal Shark Player will jump diagonally up so he is above the player, then slam himself into the ground, sending pieces of scrap metal flying.  He will yell when he does this.

X: You must be Metal Shark Player. Right?

Metal Shark Player: It doesn't matter! I'll get your DNA!

When Playing as Zero

??: What are you doing?

Zero: I don't have time for this... What do you want? Metal Shark Player?

Trivia

  • His localized name is actually a mistranslation resulting from the sound of r and l being identical in Japanese. His name should be Prayer, as the pun is based on that fact he deals with resurrection and thus, "prays".
  • He is one of the two Mavericks that Zero tells to "shut up and fight", with the other being Frost Walrus.
  • Furthermore, his lines when facing Zero seem to imply that he has already obtained Zero's DNA for study, but not X's.
  • He and Tidal Whale's original English name Duff McWhalen were mentioned in Nintendo Power volume 266, as they were said to be "one of the worst Mega Man boss names ever".
  • He and Spike Rosered's original English name Axle the Red are the only Mavericks to have three-word names. Some would argue that Gigabolt Man-O-War has more than two words to his name, but the hyphens make it one full word.
  • When Metal Shark Player summons a clone of a retired Maverick, he will yell their Japanese name (due to the fact the Japanese voices were left in).
  • His weakness to Meteor Rain is ironic because sharks are creatures that live in water, but at the same time it could be a reference to how water can cause metal to rust.
