スカイラブハリケーン - Skylab hurricane
One of the signature moves of the Tachibana twins' aerial soccer. At least two people are needed for this, one, or more (Rising sun arc, chapter 60, pages 20-21) is/are acting as a launching pad by either lying on the ground, or jumping, legs up, while the other, or others (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 94, pages 72-73) is/are docking on his teammates' feet. By using their own jumping power, and being propelled by the one(s) acting as launching pad, the player(s) is/are then jumping higher than anyone.
The technique can be used offensively, the users are sure to jump higher than any defenders and goalkeeper trying to intercept a cross directed towards them (Golden-23 arc, chapter 91, pages 16-17).
It can also be used defensively, the users are sure to jump higher than any players trying to shoot from a cross sent towards them (World youth arc, chapter 35, pages 118-119).
Though it's mainly used for height supremacy, it can also be used horizontally to surprise the opponent (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 64, pages 34 to 37).
The purpose of this technique is not only for shooting or clearing, it was also used as a pass (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 87, pages 11-12) or to prevent a ball from crossing the side line and keep posession (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 87, page 44).
The main problem with it, however, is that its use is putting a lot of burden to the legs, in middle school the Tachibanas were only able to use it 3 times per game before being injured (Captain Tsubasa arc, chapter 87, page 45). As adults, even one usage at 60% of its power injured them (Golden-23, chapter 90, pages 2 to 3), while one use at 100% broke their legs and completely incapacitated them for a long time (Golden-23 arc, chapter 91-92).
According to japanese wikipedia page on the skylab hurricane, the name comes from the skylab space station, that was launched by the modified Saturn V rocket, which sustained damage during launch and deployment. The technique in itself, though, was inspired by pro wrestling combination techniques.
