Senpuukyaku (旋風脚 lit. "Whirlwind Leg") is the technique Zero and Layer obtain after defeating Dark Mantis in Mega Man X8 and obtaining the K Knuckle. With the K Knuckle equipped, instead of Rasetsusen, Zero performs an airborne spinning kick attack that can be directioned downward and diagonally down. If no button is pressed, the user will stay in the air for a short period before moving down.

RyuSenpuukyaku

Ryu using the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

  • Like the Shouryuuken, this technique is based on a move from the Street Fighter series, the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. There also exists a minor technique/version in the form of a command normal/unique move also called the "Senpuukyaku", used by not only Ryu, but Akuma/Gouki, Yun and Yang (the latter two's versions are radically different attacks however, based on the real-life 540 kick that has the exact same name). The one that Zero and Layer perform is that of Akuma/Gouki's in which that one is dark aura based, but the latter's has also been shown to be capable of electrical damage as well.
    • In fact, Zero and Layer occasionally call out the name "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku" when using the technique, much like Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter games.
  • Rasetsusen's glitch also works with the Senpuukyaku.
