Screw Kick

The Screw Kick (スクリューキック) is Rouge the Bat's signature move in Sonic X. Rouge spins on her vertical axis, and with her legs, she unleashes a powerful spinning tornado kick.

In Sonic Adventure 2, she uses a similar attack called the "Drill Drive." This move differs in appearance, as Rouge points both legs downward, rather than one horizontally and one vertically, during the duration of the move. This move allows Rouge to descend quickly from high altitudes. If it connects with the ground, and if Rouge has collected the Pick Nails upgrade from Egg Quarters, she can dig into the ground without having to select the dig option in the action menu.

The Screw Kick first appeared in Episode 11 of Sonic X, although this version looked different to the one used in later on in the series. Emerl also used the Screw Kick after copying the attack from Rouge.
