I don't remember the blue razor wind attack... Is it that [u]jump kick[/u]? With his [u]leg[/u], the body parts that are known to be incredibly fast and the cause of his wind manipulation?

Also the Tornado Jump is simply Sonic creating a cyclone by moving in circles really fast creating a funnel of air. It is comparable to such moves as Whirlwind. In fact it was cartoon and comics Sonic who founded the whirlwind ability before games were even 3D and Sonic's ability to make control whirlwinds has bene worked in now and again in Sonic games whenever Sonic Team developers feel the need for it.

It is not at all airbending, I clearly remember seeing as well as "playing" with a similar experiment in Techniquest when I was kid. So if the creation of a cyclone can be done with air based technology and made safe that a child can play with it, Sonic, with his incredible speed alone can create whirlwinds for weapon and defence.

We've pretty much covered all this in this discussion already.
