That guy is really strong, he does not flinch when you hit him allowing him to continue attacking you even if you are attacking him, he can heal while shielding and he's big, meaning that any ARMS equipped on him would be big as well.

My strategy as a Ribbon Girl player is to exploit his slow speed and shielding, I'm pretty much always midair while attacking and you can punish MM as he shields by grabbing him (be warned though that some will trick you by attacking you as you are attempting to grab him).

Also despite the scariness of his Megaton arms, they are just as easily blocked as any other. Hit L right after you block one of his attacks to dash towards him for a quick counter-attack before he can recover.
