Megaman Moveset help

[KWVance]

I show my friend the megaman moveset and ofcourse all they can say is "real megaman throughs his blade in 8 directions" im like wtf lol

here is a perfect example of what im trying to do.
the villlager psa (not the real on the recreation of the one in the vault) has a slingshot you can aim in 8 dif directions. how can I apply this to megaman?
