This is a flashy move that involves slashing a helpless enemy from different angles at a rapid pace. It usually involves reappearing in another position immediately after performing a strike to follow up with another attack (usually making the enemy go upwards while the performer strikes in a rising diagonal slash that zigzags upwards), or have dopplegangers attack with you. Sometimes both are used. If two or more fighters are in sync, it can even be a Combination Attack. The main idea is that it's a very fast attack that involves multiple strikes coming from multiple sides. At the peak of the attack, a downward blow is used like a vertical cut, or sometimes a throw, often found along with a Spinning Pile Driver movement. A move that could be mistaken for be a Ninja move only, it's in general used by a Fragile Speedster that mastered a sword or maybe two. In fighting games, it's usually used as a Special Attack or Meteor Move to quickly end an opponent. Compare Death of a Thousand Cuts, Spam Attack and Bouncing Battler. Contrast Single-Stroke Battle. See also Blade Spam, Flash Step and Speed Blitz. Related to Reverse Shrapnel, i.e "projectiles coming from all around you". |

Samurai Shodown Iaijutsu Practitioner Ukyo Tachibana has a hyper move since IV in which he moves at lightning speed to the enemy between him and passing front and behind him as a shadow to get after the opponent and then he sheathes his sword. Next to that, the character get sliced by various slashes and goes to the ground. Being the child of Ukyo's mentor and having the same school that him (as well being a semi-Head Swap in-game), V's Sub-Boss Yumeji Kurokouchi can also performs this lethal Meteor Move as Ukyo. |

Tales of Berseria Rangetsu's second Mystic Arte, the Rangetsu Heron, has him strike his opponent from various angles before finishing with a cross slash. Artoruis' Mystic Arte is also called the Savage Wolf Fury, which has him slice through his opponent before finishing them off with a Sword Plant-induced explosion. Velvet and Laphicet's combo Mystic Arte also features this. Laphicet uses his paper to boost Velvet as she zig-zags through their opponent before slamming them into the Laphicet's pillar of light. |

Done piecemeal in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Divided We Fall", wherein Lex Luthor, Brainiac and the Dark Heart all fuse together into a nigh-omnipotent cyborg that promptly hands the Justice League their asses. The Flash, however, begins running at Luthor from different directions at increasing speed, until he's circling the Earth between blows. In less than a minute, Luthor is reduced to a normal human, gasping and naked in a blast crater. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 3.5: Tornado Throw, the capstone maneuver of the Setting Sun discipline from Tome of Battle, can be used in this way with or without a weapon. You move twice, and after every 10 feet of movement may grab an opponent and throw them in any direction (which in practice is most useful for throwing the same opponent short distances back and forth). Not only do characters with higher movement speeds get to attack more often, but each subsequent throw is more powerful than the last. The "Chuck E. Cheese" build is built around boosting the user's speed as much as possible in order to make Tornado Throw deal ludicrous amounts of damage (most infamously through the footsteps of the divine spell, which prior to errata could be "overcharged" to let a character move at supersonic speed for 1 turn). | |

Touhou Project: Aya Shameimaru's signature move Illusionary Dominance (and its Lunatic version Peerless Wind God) takes this appearance in both the shooting games and the fighters. It's noted as something of an I Am Not Left-Handed technique for Aya, who usually prefers to project a friendly journalist image rather than throwing around her full power as a millennia-old Tengu. An unusual example in that it does not trap the opponent — Aya keeps zooming around the screen for quite some time, during which she can be dodged. | |

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Greninja's Final Smash, Secret Ninja Attack, starts with him flipping a mat (a nod to his signature move, Mat Block). Enemies struck by that will be stunned and sent to the sky as Greninja appears from the shadows, striking the enemies from all directions before ending with a downward blow. Poké balls have a chance to summon Zoroark, which dashes around until it hits an opponent, at which point it slashes them and launches them to a point high above the center of the stage, then does the same as Greninja. | |

In How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup and Toothless use this tactic against the gargantuan Green Death. The Green Death is twenty times bigger than Toothless, but is also much slower, so Toothless is able to literally fly rings around it, attacking from different directions and then vanishing into the clouds before the enemy can counterattack. | |

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Spider-Man's Maximum Spider gets reworked to work like this in this game. He first does a diving kick that launches the foe up, then does multiple flying kicks through the midair foe that slowly covers them in webs, and then does a final kick down the foe that sends them to the ground. Albert Wesker’s Phantom Dance hyper combo is another example, similar enough that fans sometimes refer to it as “Maximum Wesker�. |

KOF XI: Eiji Kisaragi's LDM Yami Kari has him grab his foe and then suspends them in the air, then does multiple slashes through his foe alongside his shadow clone, ending with a powerful downward stab. | |

Street Fighter IV: Vega (Balrog in Japan) has an Ultra Combo called Bloody High Claw which is pretty much the zig-zag slice attack with his claw. Decapre in Ultra SFIV has "DCM" (an acronym for "Defensive Counter-Maneuver") in which she cuts the enemy with her claws attached to her arms. |

Street Fighter Cammy's Killer Bee Assault and Cross Stinger Assault have her pulling the Meteor Move variant, launching her opponent into the air and proceeding to kick them in multiple angles before finishing them with a Cross Scissors Pressure/Spiral Arrow respectively. Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu when shown in Street Fighter V. He repeatedly strikes his opponents from multiple angle until the combo ends. |

In X-Men: Apocalypse, Quicksilver uses his super-speed to viciously beat up Apocalypse by punching him from several angles, but Apocalypse is able to use his powers to speed up his own senses and trap Quicksilver in mud while he's running, and then breaks his leg. | |

BlazBlue Bang Shishigami's Unlimited Form has Chipp's Zansei Rouga as one of his Distortion Drives, one of many Shout-Outs from BlazBlue to Guilty Gear due to both series being created by Arc System Works. Valkenhayn's Astral Heat, Blut Vollmond, acts this way: after he somersault kicks his foe to the air, he morphs into a werewolf and starts slashing his enemies from multiple sides, ending with a heavy downward clawing attack. Taokaka gets this move in the third game, called Aerial Dancing Edge, where she uppercuts the enemy to the air, then she flies through them multiple times, slicing them with her claws. She ends it with a Diving Kick, aided by her fellow Kaka clansmen and sister figure Torakaka. Hibiki's "Shadow Dance: Hidden Phoenix" and his Astral Heat "Divine Nightfall: Raven" make use of his Drive "Double Chase" and insane speed to strike his opponents from various angles. Celica's Unlimited Form gains a Distortion Drive where her Robot Buddy Minerva transforms into a plane and knocks the enemy to the air, then flies up and rams them from all sides. |

Guy and Maki, the "street ninjas" from the Final Fight series, occasionally employ moves of this sort in some of their fighting game appearances (Street Fighter IV and Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium/Street Fighter Alpha 3 respectively). While these are Meteor Moves in which they attack (or merely pass by) their opponent in the air to set up an Izuna Drop for the finisher, neither of them use swords or any other cutting weapons in their attacks (or in general as characters). | |

Super Smash Bros.: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Greninja's Final Smash, Secret Ninja Attack, starts with him flipping a mat (a nod to his signature move, Mat Block). Enemies struck by that will be stunned and sent to the sky as Greninja appears from the shadows, striking the enemies from all directions before ending with a downward blow. Poké balls have a chance to summon Zoroark, which dashes around until it hits an opponent, at which point it slashes them and launches them to a point high above the center of the stage, then does the same as Greninja. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In addition to Greninja and Zoroark from the previous iteration, various other characters are given the same Final Smash. |
