spin attack
Whirling offensive move
A spin attack is a combat move in video games where a character rotates rapidly while striking, typically with a weapon or extended limbs, hitting enemies in all directions.
The technique appears across genres—Link's sword spin in Zelda, Crash Bandicoot's whirl, fighting game tornado kicks.
