Burst Hover

The Axel Tornado is a move used by Blaze the Cat. It made its first appearance in Sonic Rush and appeared again in the sequel Sonic Rush Adventure. It is Blaze's equivalent to the standard Jump Dash. This move allows Blaze to hover briefly in the air.

Usage
When using the Burst Hover, Blaze launches herself into the air and uses her special pyrokinetic abilities to ignite a continuous stream of fire under her feet. The updraft created from this not only allows Blaze to slow her descend through midair, but also allows her to control whatever direction she is heading and the exact place on the ground she wants to land. It also allows to move much greater distances than the Jump Dash can. It is performed in gameplay by holding the R button while Blaze is jumping or is send into midair.

The downside to the Burst Hover is that it trades speed for greater control over Blaze's movements, making it somewhat slower than the Jump Dash. Also, if Blaze performs the Burst Hover for too long, she will get tired and the Burst Hover will stop, so it is not advisable to overuse it over bottomless pits.
