* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft's'' Shaman have this in Windfury (formerly a weapon enhancement before being made passive), which would randomly cause tornadoes to appear, in gameplay this translated to the shaman basically hitting the enemy three times with a basic attack. In the game's infancy, the attack could proc off of itself, resulting in [[GameBreaker 40 man raid bosses being one-shot]]. Monks also have a version in Rushing Jade Wind, an upgrade to the channeled Spinning Crane Kick that removes the kick, allowing the Monk to continue attacking while still doing AoE damage.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' has the sacred tome Excalibur, whose animation is a green-tinted, razor-HURRICANE. It can only be used by an S-Level mage, and it grants + 5 speed. The combat animation is slightly impractical, but [[RuleOfCool incredibly fun to watch]]--especially when used by a sage, since they have [[TheCape ankle-length capes.]] The [[CoolSword Wind Sword]]'s [[SwordBeam ranged attack]] uses the exact same animation. There was also a B-rank tome called Alacalibur that was a lesser version of Excalibur, but it got DummiedOut.
** Merric in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragon'' joins with an Excalibur tome which fires blades made of air and magic that are strong against basically everything. It's a B-rank tome with an ability that lets Marik alone use it at a magic rank of E.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': the Wanderer's basic attack are sawblade-like wind blasts he aims at enemies.

Properly divvied up the Ranma examples.


** Tatewaki Kuno demonstrates he can perform a move like this which is capable of shattering stone at a considerable distance. In this unusual variant, however, there's no slicing involved; Kuno is able to stab with his sword with such strength and speed (a sword-thrusting variant of RapidFireFisticuffs is his only legitimate special technique) that it can create a concussive beam. In the anime, when having been put through unintentional TrainingFromHell by [[FairWeatherMentor Happosai]] and believing himself to be under the effects of a speed-boosting elixir, Kuno also develops the ability to create horizontal wind vortexes by whirling his sword around in a tight spiral. Later on, the rival martial artist Ryuu Kumon can send out razor-sharp waves of vacuum by spreading open his arms with great force. These can demolish even a solid bronze Buddha statue several stories tall.
** In the anime version of the climax for the Phoenix Pill storyline, Cologne demonstrates two wind-based attacks (conjuring and controlling a whirlwind, and creating a freezing horizontal blast by twirling her staff) in place of the manga's [[KillItWithWater Shark Fist]]. Anime-only character Natsume is also able to generate freezing cold concussive blasts of wind by swinging her carpetbeater.
** Ranma's final attack against Saffron and the Dragon Tap involved a Razor wind.
** Kuno also received a temporary powerup in both manga and anime. By taking the SmashingWatermelons game into TrainingFromHell levels, he became able to send out a devastating whirlwind of (invisible) Razor Wind that not even Ranma could penetrate. Unfortunately, he can only do it as [[CongruentMemory a reflex action caused by seeing watermelons]].

** Gust was once portrayed this way in the anime (by Ash's newly evolved Pidgeot). Like Razor Wind, it used to be a Normal attack in the first generation. Second generation onwards saw its type changed to Flying.
