Guard Fan

Guard Fan (ガード・ファン) is a defense system from Mega Man X7 that appears in the opening stage, Flame Hyenard's stage, and in the left path in Crimson Palace. It fires ring-shaped lasers continuously while rotating and it cannot be destroyed nor interrupted. It is also one of the few attacks that knocks the player onto his back, unable to recover quickly, making it the most dangerous obstacle, expecially when near a bottomless pit (Crimson Palace) or lava (Hyenard's stage).
