Ground Fire

Ground Fire (グランドファイア) is Mega Man X's weapon from defeating Mattrex in Mega Man X5. In normal fire, X shoots a swirling fireball on the ground that shoots three embers in random directions. The embers cannot go through walls and can only be shot out in the direction in which it has not placed itself on (i.e, if the Ground Fire sticks to a ceiling and a wall, the embers will not be fired to the direction of the ceiling and the wall). Up to two Ground Fires can be on the screen at a time. When charged up, X shoots out two fiery blasts on both sides of him. Unlike previous fire-based weapons such as Fire Wave and Speed Burner, Ground Fire can even be used underwater, such as Duff McWhalen's stage.

This weapon is the primary weakness for Axle the Red and Rangda Bangda W's blue eye part.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, the charged version of Ground Fire is similar to that of the charged version of that of Double Cyclone.
 * The uncharged version shots small fireballs in any direction, and Mattrex's Ground fire only to the both sides, the version you get is to get the EX tank in Izzy Glow's stage
