'''Gale Stab''' ({{ja|疾風突き|Shippūdzuki}}), known as '''Slash Launcher''' ({{ja|ランチャースラッシュ|Ranchā Surasshu}}, ''Launcher Slash'') and  '''Surging Slash''' in the [[NTSC]] and [[PAL]] versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' respectively, is one of three [[Side special|side special moves]] for the [[Mii Swordfighter]].

==Overview== 
When used, the Mii begins [[Charge|charging]]. Once the move is released, the Swordfighter lunges forward, striking any enemies they happen to collide with. The move functions very similar to [[Ike]]'s custom move [[Quick Draw#Customization|Close Combat]].

As Gale Stab in ''Ultimate'', the move's animation is changed from a sword slash to a lunging stab. Compared to its previous counterpart, it now starts faster, allowing for an aerial burst option that can beat out predicable approaches, and deals more damage at full charge, though it now slows down towards its conclusion, slightly decreasing its effective range. Prior to patch 12.0.0, it could also fail to grab ledges if the move hit an opponent before doing so, making its recovery exploitable.
