Neon Tiger

Neon Tiger, known as Shining Tigerd (シャイニング・タイガード) in Japan, is a Maverick from Mega Man X3 that resides in a forest stage. Originally, he was a poacher hunter, designed to ensure no one attempted to steal and/or harm the wildlife, but became a maverick when infected by the Maverick Virus. He has the Ray Splasher, which he shoots from his tail, and has claws that both slash and can block shots. Use regular shots, since he'll just block charged ones. But for an easier victory, use Spinning Blade, which will trap him in a pattern.

In Mega Man Xtreme 2, Neon Tiger doesn't have any obvious weakness, so just use the regular X-Buster. You can also try using the Tornado Fang if you have it.

Rockman X
In the Rockman X3 manga, Neon Tiger went Maverick and single-handedly defeats Zero, and almost X. But, when it is starting to rain, his laser claws were weakened, giving X an advantage to shoot him down. Zero then reappears bringing with him a group of tigers. A female tiger attempting to nurse Neon Tiger's wounds helps reawakened his old memories, returning him to his original state. He was later seen as a Maverick Hunter alongside with Blast Hornet, Blizzard Buffalo, and Tunnel Rhino, upon assisting X, and Zero in battle against Bit, and Byte.

Trivia

 * The music playing in during Neon Tiger's stage in X3 seems to be a homage to the Guns N' Roses song "My Michelle"; this is mostly likely intentional, seeing as X5 has many more obvious references to the band.
