Centaur Flash (ケンタウロスフラッシュ Kentaurosu Furasshu) is Centaur Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 6. It is able to warp space-time to damage nearby enemies, the high-frequency energy generated by the warped space emitting a rapid glow, thus the flash on its name.[1]
When used by Centaur Man, he creates a dimensional distortion in a flash of light that freezes Mega Man in place, much like Time Stopper and Flash Stopper from previous games.
When Mega Man is equipped with Centaur Flash, unlike the version used by Centaur Man, it can actually be used to damage and strike all enemies on the screen, also hitting destroyable projectiles and ignoring the defenses of enemies like Shield Attacker GTR and Ben K. One Centaur Flash uses 4 units of the weapon energy, and it can be used 7 times with a full weapon energy gauge. Caution must be taken when using Centaur Flash as it briefly freezes Mega Man in place, which could be deadly if used while jumping over pits.
Wind Man is weak to this weapon, and is the only boss in Mega Man 6 who takes damage from it. Centaur Flash inflicts four units of damage against him, destroying him in seven hits.
