Sonic the Hedgehog's Soul Surge

Sonic's Soul Surge is Sonic the Hedgehog unnamed Soul Surge technique in Sonic and the Black Knight. When using this technique, Sonic dashes up to his enemies and attacks them with Caliburn.

Description
In order to perform Sonic's Soul Surge, Sonic's Soul Gauge must contain enough Soul Energy to initiate the his Soul Surge. To activate the move in gameplay, the player must press B and then swing the Wii Remote to strike the enemy. To cancel the move while being used, the player must press B. If Sonic runs out of Soul Energy, however, the move will end. This move can be used both when Sonic is in midair or when standing on the ground.

Performance
Sonic's Soul Surge can be executed in two ways, either to attack enemies or to advance quicker through the stages.

Attacking
If Sonic's Soul Surge is performed with enemies in front of Sonic, Sonic will briefly charge up the attack, with small rings of energy emitting from the his feet, while targeting the opponent with a red reticle. Sonic will then dash up to his opponent to the full extend of his speed, appearing as a nearly instantaneous movement, and delivers a powerfull slash with Caliburn to his opponent that instantly kills any lesser enemies or deals massive damage to tougher enemies. Once the enemy has been struck, Sonic targets the next foe and the cycle continues. If Sonic strikes when the reticle is bright white and Caliburn's blade is glowing, Sonic can perform a Perfect Hit for more damage and extra points.

Speed Boost
If Sonic's Soul Surge is performed with no enemies in front of Sonic, he activates a high-speed dash akin to Speed Break from the Sonic and the Secret Rings, where he will briefly charge up the attack, with small rings of energy emitting from the his feet, and then accelerates to beyond his top speed in a split-second.

Trivia

 * Sonic's Soul Surge is the only Soul Surge that appears in the storyline in Sonic and the Black Knight that cannot be enhanced or granted extra effects since Sonic cannot wield any other weapons than Caliburn.
