History Main / SpamAttack

* Basic attacking method of many Stand users in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Accompanied by a battlecry like "ORAORAORAORA" or "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"

* There are a handful of moves in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' that will hit between two and five times in one turn, such as Double Slap, Arm Thrust, and Icicle Spear. A Pokémon with the Skill Link Ability with always be able to deliver the maximum amount of hits when using these moves, making Cloyster and Mega Heracross the franchise's resident SpamAttack specialists.

* Also known as ''renzoku kōgeki'' in ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]''. Examples include Shuten-dōji who can fire up to 5 missiles in succession from his sake gourd and Yōko who can fire at most ''8'' magic waves from his CombatHandFan.

** ''Mugen no Frontier'' features Lamia {{Expy}} Aschen Brodel having an attack called ''Demon Lance'' (not to be confused with that spell from Franchise/TalesSeries), which is actually a kick-based Spam Attack (with feet shotgun added in the end).

* A staple sword skill in ''TalesSeries'': Sword Rain (''Akisazame'', "Autumn Sandstorm"). Note also Lilith Aileron's version, performed with a frying pan. There's also the melee version, ''Rengadan'' ("Chain Fang Missile"), which pummels the enemy with fists so hard that the move is ''always'' animated with afterimages for the fists.

* A May OZ Academy show saw Hiroyo Matsumoto [[GrievousHarmWithAbody military press]] Seven Star Sister Misaki Ohata onto Mio Shirai, who proceeded to get up and hit multiple running cross bodies on Shirai in rapid succession, with Shirai barely able to situp on number seven, which caused Ohata to pickup Shirai for three more before finally finishing with a drop splash. Mio Shirai would stay in the match though and after {{tag|team}}ging out to Takako Inoue and back in, proceeded to prop Misaki Ohata against the ropes and deliver 21 kicks to her sternum in rapid succession.[[/folder]]

*** Shirou gains a Spam Attack [[spoiler:in the form of Hercule's Sword as Nine Lives Blade Works. With the weapon he attacks at nine different points [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill AT THE SAME TIME!]]]]

* Cloud's Omnislash in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a flurry of quick slashes followed by a spectacular finishing move. ''CrisisCore'' gives us Chain Slash, which is five slashes, as well as the eight slashes from [[MeaningfulName Octaslash]].

* Kirara's melee special move in ''MagicalBattleArena'' involves slashing a target twelve times in an instant.

** And speaking of Alteisen and ''EndlessFrontier'', half the attacks Haken Browning pulls off fall under this, too.

A staple form of combat. It's simple. Pick your favorite weapon ([[DualWielding or more than one of them at the same time]]), or maybe just fists or legs will do, and then launch them many times in quick succession to your enemy!

One common method of bringing one of these about in a game is ButtonMashing, especially if it's one button in particular. Hammer on a punch button enough with ''Franchise/StreetFighter'''s E Honda, and you get one of these.

* MacrossMissileMassacre, for homing weapons, i.e, missiles.

* Justified in ''Literature/TheScar'', with Uther Doul's Possible Sword. Proof that ChinaMieville has read up on quantum mechanics, charging this weapon with current causes it to deliver every possible strike it ''could'' deliver, all at the same time. The more possible a strike is, the more solid the sword's edge will be for that strike. Targets of the Possible Sword come out looking like they've been run through a mincing machine.

* ''{{Manga/Claymore}}'' provides the page picture, from "The Endless Gravestones IV", when [[AxCrazy Ophelia]] finishes off the [[OneWingedAngel Awakened Being]]. Her predecessor, Illena of the Quicksword, is more proficient by an order of magnitude.

** In 3.5e perhaps the most infamous build is the "Lightning Mace/Aptitude weapon" combo. There are ways to optimize it to the point of setting up a positive feedback loop strong enough to survive... well until you fail enough to drop both of your weapons or suicide(depending on your DMs interpretation of critical fails).

* There are a handful of moves in ''VideoGame/{{Pokémon}}'' that will hit between two and five times in one turn, such as Double Slap, Arm Thrust, and Icicle Spear. A Pokémon with the Skill Link Ability with always be able to deliver the maximum amount of hits when using these moves, making Cloyster and Mega Heracross the franchise's resident SpamAttack specialists.

** There's also the move Echoed Voice, which actually ''encourages'' this. Echoed Voice will get more powerful the more you used it in succession.

** Shows up in NeoGeo's fighting games, too. ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'' had Dragon's fists to start with, while ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' began with Charlotte's Splash Fount and Jubei Yagyu's Hassou Happa.

** The Gigantaur BonusBoss from ''FinalFantasyXIII'' gladly takes a leaf (needle?) from the Cloud's book: All he knows is 10000 Needles. [[TotalPartyKill And it's all he needs]].
