Speed Gear lets you get some extra shots in.

When you hit shielded enemies with a super-shot they stagger briefly, making them vulnerable.If you press the button for Rush a second time while he’s already visible on the screen, he just teleports away without using weapon energy.

Rush’s energy meter is visible at all times when you aren’t using a special weapon.Otherwise, I’m just talking about the Double Gear system in general. On this page, if I’m referring to using both Gears simultaneously I’ll specifically call it the Double Gear technique. Note: Rather confusingly, the term “Double Gear” can refer to just the combined package of Power Gear and Speed Gear collectively (because they both share a cooldown meter), or it might refer to the special “Double Gear technique” which can only be activated at low health and is where you use both Gears simultaneously. However, it’s not just the hero that gets the new toy in this game all of the bosses will use either Speed Gear or Power Gear against you when they reach half health. Also, if you charge up for long enough (to just about as Power Gear is about to overheat), you get a massively-sized super-shot reminiscent of the X series. Having said that, Power Gear is the only mechanism for charging special weapons in this game. It keeps you alive by making it easier to dodge incoming attacks, whereas Power Gear just increases the damage you do. It’s divided into Power Gear and Speed Gear in all honesty, Speed Gear is arguably the more useful of the two.
