C-Sword

C-Sword, abbr. for Crescent Sword, also known as Mikazukizan (三日月斬) in Japan, is the special technique that Zero learns after defeating Grizzly Slash in Mega Man X5. When the player presses the Attack Button when Zero is in midair, he will perform a circular slash with his Z-Saber, which will create a large, yellow energy crescent in the direction he is facing. Like Kuuenbu from the previous game, C-Sword also allows Zero to double jump, giving him the ability to reach new heights. Once C-Sword has been learned, however, it will permanently replace Zero's mid-air slash for the remainder of the game.

C-Sword is Duff McWhalen's weakness. Rangda Bangda W's green eye component, and all of the fightable parts of U-555 are also very weak to this technique. C-Sword is also effective when fighting against Dynamo and both of Sigma's forms.
