Blizzard Buffalo

Blizzard Buffalo, known as Frozen Buffalio (フローズン・バッファリオ) in Japan, is a Maverick in Mega Man X3. In reality, though, he's really a peace-loving artist, even with the Maverick Virus. So he is (for all intents and purposes) another innocent victim of the Maverick Wars.

Strategy
Like Flame Mammoth before him, his room is much larger, requiring X to damage him while he's on screen. When his health is depleted by 50%, Blizzard Buffalo shoots a very large ice beam that will freeze X if it connects.

 * Power: 9200rp
 * Speed: 3200rp

 * Ice De Voux

Rockman X
In the Rockman X3 manga, he was stopped by an innocent boy who knows more about him, giving X an advantage on defeating him by destroying his horns that make him go Maverick. He later joins the Maverick Hunters alongside with Blast Hornet, Neon Tiger, and Tunnel Rhino, he assisted X and Zero in battle against Bit and Byte.

In Rockman X4, he fought alongside X against Frost Walrus, but he ended up sacrificing his life to save X.

Trivia

 * He makes an appearance at the very start of Frost Walrus's stage, frozen over in the background.


 * In the CD versions of Mega Man X3, Blizzard Buffalo's name is misspelled as "BILZZARD BUFFALO" in his introductory cutscene.


 * His stage is normally frozen over. However, if you defeat Volt Catfish before entering Buffalo's stage, the lights return and melt the ice, making the stage less slippery.


 * You can easily exploit a programming error to defeat him, by jumping up as he turns around after rushing into the wall, he will turn around and slam back into the wall. This allows you to take minimal damage and defeat him with only the X buster.


 * Blizzard Buffalo is one of only four ice-themed robots who create ice sculptures. The other three are Chill Penguin, Frost Man, and Cold Man. Additionally, he and Chill Penguin are the only ones from the Mega Man X series to have this talent.


 * If you complete the stage of Catfish and in the ski resort is less slippery, implying that the heat generated by the restored electricity melted the ice.
