				One Trick Pony rules allow basics and X-Wings before the trick is needed.

If you use One Stepper in the title and/or the intro line, then there won't be any confusion. |

Thanks Danny, 
 
 
Done. This puzzle seems fishy to me. |

It's 2x overlapping Sashimi Swordfish. And, it's the cousin to the 2x overlapping Sashimi X-Wing ... also known as a Skyscraper. ([c6] binds the endpoints of the almost Skyscaper to where it works.) Note the additional eliminations!

I call it a Siamese Sashimi Swordfish and, just like in a Skyscraper, I claim all eliminations in one step. |

Thanks Danny,   
 
I didn't see the skyscraper. It is a neat way to solve a puzzle in one step. I will keep an eye out for more. |
