Quickster Techniques

The Quickster Techniques are seven techniques employed by Quicksters in order to both maximise one's speed and effectively put their speed into practice. Though the origins of the Techniques are unknown, they were used extensively by the Echidnas, who associated them with the seven Chaos Emeralds and named them after the Emeralds' colours.

Green Technique / Tornado Dance
By moving their body (or 'dancing') with the motion of the air, with this technique the Quickster is able to use the wind to increase their speed, but also manipulate the wind for their own purposes, creating offensive and defensive whirlwinds.

Red Technique / Time Slow
With this technique, the Quickster hones their senses to slow down the way they perceive the world around them, giving them more time to react quickly to situations.

Blue Technique / Mach Speed / Boost
This technique instructs the Quickster to push their body to its physical limits in order to achieve their top speed. Masters of the Blue Technique are eventually able to reach their top speed instantaneously.

White Technique / Light Speed
Users of the White Technique absorb the energy around them to increase their speed, often to destructive results. The Echidnas developed the Crystal Ring to be able to better store energy for this technique.

Sky Technique / Homing Drive
The Sky Technique involves the Quickster's ability to focus on specific objects, and using this ability to cross large distances at a time by leaping from object to object.

Yellow Technique / Thunder Guard
By controlling the static electricity built up by their movements, the Quickster uses the Yellow Technique to create an electrical field around their body which can protect them from attacks and draw in magnetic objects like Rings.

Purple Technique / Scale
Little is known about this technique, with most documentation relating to it having been lost to time and little to no users surviving to the present day. However, it seems it would have had the Quickster use their speed to warp reality and overcome the forces of nature to achieve feats such as flight.
