Mega Scorpio's body is invincible, meaning it must be defeated by destroying its tail and claws. Depending on which of its limbs are destroyed first, its attack pattern changes slightly. [[Zero]] can reflect its projectiles with his [[Z-Saber]], while Axl can target its specific limbs. Being the game's introductory boss, Mega Scorpio is not very difficult to defeat, though the Tag Assist should help manage the player's health if need be.
Mega Scorpio has three standard attacks. He will fire plasma shots from his tail. Evade this by dashing away from it or reflect them by slashing them back by Z-Saber. He will also dash over the ground and you can evade this by either crouching or dashing beneath him. When he has dashed past you, use your A-Bullet weapon to fire at his tail or slash it with Z-Saber. Once his tail is destroyed, his claws will be your next target. Use the same tactic to destroy them too. When the tail explode, he will explode.
