Spin Charge: Difference between revisions

An aerial Spin Charge alters the properties of the move in a few notable ways. While it will increase Sonic's air speed, it will also keep him at a diagonally downwards trajectory until the move hits the ground or is jumped out of, making it inferior to Spin Dash as a recovery move. The main purpose of an aerial Spin Charge is that the move possesses two separate hits so long as the player maintains forward momentum by holding forward on the control stick, providing as much as 20% damage. The first hit has excellent vertical [[knockback]], should the player wish to surprise their opponent in the air for a [[KO]], and if the move's two hits are immediately followed by landing on the ground, Sonic can acquire as much as two extra hits in the rolling and jumping spin attacks (plus an aerial move) if the opponent is grounded and is at a low enough percent, with a 50%+ damage potential. Similarly to the Spin Dash, it is also possible to perform a "spinshot" out of a aerial Spin Charge. The move can be shield-canceled on landing if the player holds shield before touching the ground; this will stop Sonic from rolling and can often trick the opponent into reacting in the wrong fashion. Finally, a "spin jump" can be down by jumping while charging and the effects change depending on which variant of Spin Dash is being used (Burning Spin Dash will lower the jump while Hammer Spin Dash makes the jump higher).
