Cyber Peacock

"His potential... is limitless?! ...not possible."

- Cyber Peacock

Cyber Peacock, known as Cyber Kujacker (サイバー・クジャッカー) in Japan, is a digitized Maverick in Mega Man X4. He was originally an AI that protected the network from hackers before he was corrupted by Sigma. He then begins corrupting the network himself, to draw the Maverick Hunters attention; because like Split Mushroom, Peacock was given the task of testing X and Zero's abilities, putting them through a series of trials and training exercises.

Strategy
During battle he will faze-out and then faze-in to your current location to try and inflict damage. If he isn't immediately attacked properly he will fire multiple lasers or slash by dashing up vertically. When his health has been knocked down by half, he will also begin to fire his tail feathers as homing missiles. At what time to fight Cyber Peacock depends on if you are X or Zero. X can take him on after defeating Split Mushroom and thus obtaining Soul Body. But, since Zero can't use that ability, he would need the Ryuenjin from Magma Dragoon to fight him here.

Most bosses will show the ability that you will gain during the fight. For X, his Aiming Laser is modeled after Cyber Peacock's third mode of attack of locking-on and launching missiles. Zero's Rakuhouha is modeled after one of Cyber Peacock's early attack patterns of firing multiple energy beams.
