− | He is one of the few Mavericks with an outdoor battle arena, which may be the largest in any Mega Man game to date. [[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Zero_%28game%29 Mega Man Zero] sports a close-to-identical battle arena for the battle against [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Fighting_Fefnir Fefnir].] His most common attack is a charging run, which is easily dodged by jumping over him. He will also perform another style of run, in which he will jump and kick across the screen with just enough room to run or dash under. Overdrive tends to always use his [[Sonic Slicer]] in its charged state, by jumping high and firing six energy boomerangs that rain down on the battlefield. And, one unique attack that he will perform, is he will run off screen out into the desert (background) and then jump back to the foreground to try and land on X; to avoid being stomped just keep moving. He is weak to [[Crystal Hunter]], which will both damage and freeze him, but once he thaws he will immediately counter with [[Sonic Slicer]]. It is possible to cancel his counter by just freezing him again just as he thaws (trapping him in a continuous loop), but your timing must be spot on. He is also vulnerable to [[Silk Shot]]. |

Overdrive Ostrich, known in Japan as Sonic Ostreague (ソニック・オストリーグ Sonikku Osutorīgu), is an ostrich-type Reploid in Mega Man X2. He is a former Maverick Hunter who was swayed to join Sigma's rebellion.
Characteristics
Overdrive Ostrich is a very tall Reploid with a design based on an ostrich. He possesses a long neck and a beaked mouth. His armor is mostly blue and orange in color, and sports blades along its edges. His feet possess bird-like toes.
Overdrive Ostrich is a cunning warrior. He is very proud of his speed, but insecure about his inability to fly, something which Sigma took advantage of. Notably, he is one of the earliest bosses in the Mega Man series to have a voice line, making an avian call to taunt X.
History
Mega Man X2
Overdrive Ostrich was once a Maverick Hunter of the 7th Airborne Unit, but he retired after an accident that cost him the ability to fly. Sigma later sought to recruit him to his Maverick army, seeing use for his superior speed.[1] Ostrich, sensing appreciation for his abilities, pledged his loyalty to Sigma and was stationed at an abandoned missile base, tasked with launching the one remaining missile stored there at the Hunter Base. X manages to destroy this missile just as it launches, before fighting Ostrich in the desert and taking his Sonic Slicer.
Overdrive Ostrich later reappears in X-Hunter Stage 4 as part of the boss rush.
Mega Man Xtreme 2

Overdrive Ostrich is one of the few Mavericks with an outdoor arena, one of the widest in any Mega Man game to date.

If he is left off-screen, he will appear in the background to catch up to the player. He is weak to Crystal Hunter, which temporarily freezes him in crystal gel.
