Twin Slasher

"Shoots Twin Slasher forward in two directions. This weapon has wide range capabilities making it easy to hit enemies."

- In-game text

Twin Slasher (ツインスラッシャー) is the weapon that X obtains from defeating Slash Beast in Mega Man X4. In normal fire, X shoots out a pair of two purple energy crescents that travel in diagonal directions from each other. These energy blades quickly travel across the screen and gradually increase in size. Twin Slasher is capable of going through walls and terrain and up to two pairs of Twin Slashers can be fired on the screen at once. This weapon is fairly weak, but it makes up for it with its wide range, speed and low Weapon Energy cost. When charged up, Mega Man X fires eight energy crescents forward - four on each side - while shouting, "Feel it!" These crescents are also capable of going through walls and provide a better range than when fired normally. A charged Twin Slasher is even capable of destroying rocks in Magma Dragoon's stage.

Twin Slasher is effective against Web Spider and General. For Web Spider, in order for him to to be stunned and take considerable damage, the blades must be fired at the web that supports him and not at Spider himself.
