Agile

"Welcome X. Your destruction is at hand!"

- Agile

Agile (アジール) is one of the three X-Hunters in Mega Man X2. He is defined by his fast movement and swordsmanship, and (in the Japanese version) his polite speech pattern and reserved personality. When you first encounter him in one of the hidden rooms in the Maverick stages, he acts as his name implies, dashing along the ground and attacking with a series of lightning-fast slashes. He can also create large energy waves by executing an upward slash.

When you encounter him for the second and final time in the third X-Hunter stage, he appears from above transformed into a weird ship. Agile will hold his position at the top of the screen, erratically moving from side to side. Throughout the battle he'll create spiked platforms from his sides that he will drop to try and crush you; also whenever Agile creates a new set of platforms he will at the same time release four purple balls of electricity that will run down the walls and across the floor. Missiles will also fire periodically from both the left and right sides of the screen. Magnet Mine (fully charged or not) is the best weapon to use in this battle, as it can be aimed up to his position; it's also good for destroying the missiles.

Trivia

 * Though Agile's second form can be defeated with any weapon, the Giga Attack and the Magnet Mine are the most effective. Also, the Shoryuken, which is conveniently hidden in his very stage, can defeat him in one hit.
 * Agile's name, like his fellow Counter Hunters, is actually the French word for his defining characteristic (pronounced "Ajiiru").
 * Agile, along with the other X-Hunters, makes a short cameo appearance in the opening scene of the Sega Saturn and Mega Man X Collection re-release versions of Mega Man X3. Also one of Phoenix Magnion's attacks in Mega Man Zero 2 uses an image of Agile.
