Common "attack" used in Anime, usually by the opponent of the main character. They will create (or clone) multiple copies of themself, frequently encircling the target. One of these copies is the real one, while the rest are just harmless illusions to distract their target; said target must find a way to "sense" which one is the correct one and attack it, before the entire group closes in to strike. A common diversionary tactic with Ninja. The practice of seeing through the illusions to attack the "real" one can be thought of as a type of Shell Game. Examples of Doppelganger Spin include:

In video games, finding the "real" one usually boils down to a game of "one of these isn't like the other", by noticing subtle details like whether they use the same attacks, have the same HP or defense power, or cast a shadow on the ground. A common diversionary tactic with Ninja. If the copies are tangible enough to be a threat on their own, independent of whichever is the "real" one, it's a Doppelganger Attack. For the use of tangible doppelgangers outside of combat, see Me's a Crowd. The practice of seeing through the illusions to attack the "real" one can be thought of as a type of Shell Game.
