Twin Dream

Twin Dream, also known as Sougenmu (双幻夢) in Japan, is a special technique that Zero uses.

Mega Man X5
In Mega Man X5, Zero learns Twin Dream after defeating Axle the Red. When the player selects this technique using the L/R Buttons and then presses the S.M. Button to activate it, Zero produces a solid colored hologram in front of him that mimics his every move, Saber slash and technique, that lasts for a while before disappearing. This technique is more or less Zero's version of Mega Man X's Soul Body from Mega Man X4. Since the hologram can go through walls, Twin Dream can be rather helpful in eliminating enemies that Zero may otherwise might not be able to reach in front of him. If Zero is hit while the hologram is on the screen, it will abruptly disappear.

Twin Dream is Grizzly Slash's weakness, and will also cause a weakness reaction for Sigma's Gamma Σ form as well.

Other Appearances
This attack also appears in the game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and reappears in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. In the former, Zero's shadow is a blue and gel-like afterimage that only appears and doubles the dealing on his special moves, save for Hienkyaku. In the latter, the afterimage is instead grey and resembles Zero more closely, and now traces after all of his movements.

Also, in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, when Zero performs his Snapback (which uses the motion for Shippuuga) on an opponent (only where his shadow hits the foe while an assist is on screen), the foe will be permanently tagged out and none of the opposition's team members will be on screen for the rest of the match, enabling cheap time-outs. This was fixed in a patch where the shadow would instantly disappear when a Snapback was used.

It makes appearance in Megaman X Command Mission as a Zero exclusive Sub-Weapon under the name Heat Haze. In the same game, Ferham has a similar move called Crimson Shade.
