Ensuizan

Ensuizan (円水斬), is the special technique that Zero learns after defeating Rainy Turtloid in Mega Man X6. When pressing the S.M. Button while holding DOWN on the D-pad, Zero performs a water-elemental circular slash with his Z-Saber. Ensuizan can be preformed on the ground or in the air, and when sliding on wall or using ropes: this technique can be performed over and over on the ground, however, it can be only executed once in the air. Ensuizan is a rather useful move as it can help clear out enemies by striking them repeatedly. Caution must be taken however when using it underneath descending ceilings (such as the Nightmare compactors) as it can crush Zero if the player isn't careful when using it or accidentally presses the S.M. Button while ducking from such obstacles. If Zero takes damage and become temporary invincibility, using this technique will immediately cancel the invincibility status and leaves him vulnerable to damage again.

Ensuizan is the weakness for Metal Shark Player, Dynamo and the miniboss Illumina.
