Raijingeki

"S.M. button on the ground. Lightning attack. Effective against distant enemies."

- In-game text

Raijingeki (『雷神撃』), also known as "Raijin Attack" or "Thunder God Attack", is the special technique that Zero learns after defeating Web Spider in Mega Man X4. By pressing the Special Weapon button while standing, Zero will perform a forward thrust with the Z-Saber as a blade of blue lightning. Caution must be taken when preforming Raijingeki as there is a slight lag between Zero drawing his Z-Saber and him trusting with it. Like many other techniques, Raijingeki can also be interrupted anytime if Zero gets hit while preforming this technique.

Out of Zero's arsenal, Split Mushroom, Magma Dragoon and Slash Beast take the most damage from this technique.
