The Spin Attack is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a technique utilized by several individuals where the user attacks as a concussive ball. It also serves as the basis of several other attacks.
Description
When performing the Spin Attack, the user curls their body up into a tight concussive ball or cutting disk before bashing their targets with their bodies headfirst. When used at a very high speed, the user is able to smash or shred through almost any substance.[1]
When using the Spin Attack, the user usually leaves a colored trail in their wake. Some users also have their features fluttering behind their curled form when using the Spin Attack, like Tails and his twin-tails.[1]
Variants
Axel Jump
The Axel Jump is a signature technique of Blaze the Cat that turns her into a burning tornado to attack opponents. Any enemy Blaze makes contact with during this jump takes damage and can sometimes cause her to bounce off them if the angle is correct.

Spin Dash
The Spin Dash is a variant of the Spin Attack where the user charges up their speed and blasts off at a target. It can be used for both battling opponents and simply travelling around at high speeds.
Stink Bomber
