In some fiction, the echoes are more than just a special effect -- they're literal. Other characters can see them and be confused by them, making them effective covers for highly elaborate martial arts attacks. In video games, they can be used as an excuse to force the player to use timing to hit the "real" image. For various reasons, using Speed Echoes for the Doppelganger Spin doesn't really make a whole heck of a lot of sense, but eh, roll with it. Examples of Speed Echoes include:

Note that sometimes this trope can be used somewhat lazily: a character will have Speed Echoes but aren't really moving all that fast. The echoes are just to make us think they're moving fast. This is somewhat distinct from Doppelganger Attack, although technically a work can employ both at once. Related to Speed Stripes and Flash Step, both of which often employ this trope in their basic function. Indeed, you can see examples of Speed Echoes in action in both of those pages' images.
