Electric Spark

Electric Spark (エレクトリックスパーク) is the Special Weapon that X obtains from defeating Spark Mandrill in Mega Man X. It fires a small electrical burst in the direction X is facing. It can be used as a semi-rapid-fire weapon, as three sparks can be on-screen at once. If the spark hits a wall or an enemy, it splits in half and travels up and down the surface it contacted. When charged, a pair of spark columns fire horizontally in front of and behind X. Sigma uses an attack similar to this in Mega Man X2.

In all three games this Special Weapon has appeared in, Electric Spark is the weakness of Sigma's first form and of Armored Armadillo, who loses some of his protective armor if hit by the spark.
