In the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, the horizontal length of this weapon is only half that of the original, allowing X to fire multiple times at a faster rate since only one tornado can be on the screen at once. The charged version of Storm Tornado functions slightly differently from Mega Man X and Mega Man Xtreme. Instead of a large tornado surrounding X upon releasing the FIRE button, he will instead fire a projectile for a short distance that forms a large tornado when it lands on solid ground, allowing a longer-range attack.
