Cross Slash is a [[natural combo]] of three parts | Cloud slashes the radical {{ja|凶|kyō, fierce}} on his opponent. | ||

*The second part is a two-handed swing downward in the other direction | Cross Slash is a [[natural combo]] of three parts. | ||
*The third segment is an automatic series of three slashes: two ground-level slashes in a fanning motion from left to right, then ending with an outward waving slash after a full spin, | *The first attack is a downward single-handed reap with a step forward that deals 4% damage. | ||
If every hit connects, the five slashes deal a total of 19% damage while drawing the kanji {{ja|凶|kyō | *The second part is a two-handed swing downward in the other direction, dealing 3% damage and forming an X shape. | ||
*The third segment is an automatic series of three slashes: two ground-level slashes in a fanning motion from left to right, then ending with an outward waving slash after a full spin, for 3%, 3%, and 6% damage. | |||
If every hit connects, the five slashes deal a total of 19% damage while drawing the kanji {{ja|凶|kyō}} (wicked, misfortune, or bane) through the air. | |||
While this move is fast enough to use as a [[punish]] option and deals good damage with moderate knockback, it deals poor [[shield damage]] and [[shield stun]], making it unsafe to use on shields; if any part of the move hits a shield, it is quite easy for the defender to retaliate, especially after the final part. Additionally, there is a small pause before the third segment of the move, which often causes extremely light and/or damaged enemies to get knocked out before the move is complete. | While this move is fast enough to use as a [[punish]] option and deals good damage with moderate knockback, it deals poor [[shield damage]] and [[shield stun]], making it unsafe to use on shields; if any part of the move hits a shield, it is quite easy for the defender to retaliate, especially after the final part.

[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Cross-slash_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Cross Slash] is Cloud's second level 1 Limit Break in ''Final Fantasy VII'', which he learns after performing his initial Limit Break, Braver, eight times. It deals 3.25 times the damage of a normal physical attack to one enemy and inflicts paralysis. The usual animation for the attack shows him performing three strikes as opposed to the four strokes needed to write the kanji (''Smash Bros.'' instead has him perform a total of five slashes) | [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Cross-slash_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Cross Slash] is Cloud's second level 1 Limit Break in ''Final Fantasy VII'', which he learns after performing his initial Limit Break, Braver, eight times.

The usual animation for the attack shows him performing three strikes as opposed to the four strokes needed to write the kanji (''Smash Bros.'' instead has him perform a total of five slashes). However, in some instances, such as in the {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} series, the kanji visual may be absent. In ''Smash 4'', it uses a similar design to the original ''Final Fantasy VII'', while in ''Ultimate'', its design is based on its appearance in ''Dissidia Final Fantasy''. The animation of the last three hits of Cross Slash in ''Smash'' is based on its animation in the 1998 fighting game ''Ehrgeiz'', which featured several ''Final Fantasy VII'' characters, including Cloud, as guest fighters. | ||
