— Description, Sonic Frontiers

The Grand Slam (ファイナルスマッシュ, Fainaru Sumasshu^?, lit. "Final Smash") is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an attack used by Sonic the Hedgehog where he rapidly charges a Homing Attack and then spins towards the enemy after a successful Parry.

Description

When performing the Grand Slam, Sonic charges up his attack and then Spin Dashes towards the enemy. Once he hits the enemy, he will launch a diving kick at them, causing weaker enemies to spin as they recoil from the counterattack.

In the game Sonic Frontiers, the Grand Slam serves as an unlockable Skill for Sonic after obtaining five of Amy's Memory Tokens and freeing Amy from the Cyber Cage on Kronos Island. It can be activated by Parry first an attack from a guardian or a Titan, then pressing // + // when the prompt appears.

Overview

Using Grand Slam against the Titans will trigger short cutscenes of Super Sonic dishing out massive damage.

• If Super Sonic uses it on Giganto or Supreme, he will perform a similar combo as when used on lesser enemies, but the final kick has been amplified by summoning Phantom Rush clones around Super Sonic so they can all kick at once.
• If Super Sonic uses it on Wyvern (by parrying a surprise tail whip), he will grab Wyvern's tail and spin around a few times before throwing the Titan full-force at a mountain.
• If Super Sonic uses it on Knight (by parrying a surprise sword strike), he will Homing Attack Knight's legs multiple times until the Titan falls over on its side. Sonic then launches Knight into the air and slams an axe kick on its chest, launching it back into the arena.
• If Super Sonic 2 uses it on Supreme (The End), he will cross his arms as Supreme approaches him, only for him to blast through at high speed at many directions in the very last second. Supreme will collapse onto the ground from the attack, as Super Sonic 2 stares at him from the back, arms still crossed.

Trivia

• Super Sonic 2's version of Grand Slam is similar to an attack Super Sonic unleashes on Giant Zavok in IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog #29.

• If Super Sonic 2 manages to have the prompt of the attack while at the cord, and then performs the Grand Slam, he will instead perform the one used for Giganto and the unpossessed Supreme.
