Raikousen

Raikousen (雷光閃) is the technique Zero and Layer obtain after defeating Gigabolt Man-O-War in Mega Man X8. Press special attack button while dashing will allow Zero to performs a shadow-dash, turning him invisible and produces a horizontal trail of thunder-bolts when reappears, paralyze weak enemies. During the invisible time, Zero is invicible against any damages. This move can be performed while air-dashing as well, and as the length of the shadow-dash is fixed, it can be used to extend the range of the air-dash.

This technique is Avalanche Yeti's primary weakness, but the player need to time it carefullly since there is a slightly lag before and after the move is performed.
