Wind Storm (ウインドストーム Uindo Sutōmu) is Wind Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It compresses air and releases it as a small tornado capable of sending enemies flying away.[1]
When used by Mega Man, Wind Storm sends out a grey tornado that creeps along the floor. Up to three tornadoes can be on screen at the same time. The tornadoes disappear when they hit an obstacle. Enemies defeated by it are sent flying up into the air; however they will not drop items if defeated in this manner. It also ignores the defenses of Flame Man's Flame Blast.
