Do you really mean spin dash jump? Like, just the spin dash jump? Or are you thinking of something different?

Because a spin dash jump is literally hitting jump while doing a spindash...

Im talking about sonic spin jump, where he has a yellow spark around him and not a purple one, I jump and spin but I only get the purple spark and no matter what I don't get the yellow spark.

I'm pretty sure no one on this board has any idea of what you're talking about.

That's the Vertical Spin Dash Jump 2 (VSDJ2), which can be done by charging a Spin Dash and then pressing the jump button (not the attack button).

Some of its uses are:

1. jump while retaining the charge you had up until the point you started the jump (no, it doesn't charge the SD in midair);
2. looking silly because even though it looks like the move is fully charged, when you release it you'll notice that the charge is nowhere to be seen;
3. making you feel dumb because you thought you could release the SD while jumping (btw, you can't);
4. making you want to strangle whoever thought that having no way to get out of the jump other than landing was a good idea;
5. provoke the thought that we'd be better off without this stupid new jump.

Also.. yellow spark?

I charged up normally by spamming the button with sonic, and it kept just showing a purple blueish spark around sonic while hes spinning.

What you're describing is the Spin Charge (down B), while the VSDJ2 is done out of a Spin Dash (side B).

Strange enough I cant find anything or any thread showing how to do this

Heres also another video i found, i think we're talking about something different.

see how when sonic jumps he has a yellow and blue spark aura around him while charging and jumping in the air freely and touching the ground and doing it again?

See the video i just gave the link too, you'll see what im talking about.

Saw the video and it's a VSDJ2 indeed.

1. press side B and hold B;
2. press jump while still holding B;
3. that's the VSDJ2.

Also, I'm pretty sure both the FAQ and the moveset thread have info on how to perform it.

 

[Camalange]

Orochi is on top of it.

EDIT:

 

[kataridragon]

VSDJ2 for patch. Let us Spindash from the jump!
