'''Phantom Slash''' ({{ja|ファントムアタック|Fantomu Atakku}}, ''Phantom Attack'') is [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[down special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing [[Transform]] from ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]''.

Ultimate]]'', replacing [[Transform]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' due to Sheik and Zelda now being separate characters.

As of patch 3.1.0, it is possible (though technically difficult) to summon the Phantom in front of Zelda by making use of a [[cancel]]led [[RAR]] [[down aerial]] into the Phantom Slash. This advanced technique, which some call the "Reverse Displaced Phantom", allows the Phantom to provide the same kind of frontal protection it previously offered in ''Smash 4''.

Easier methods of displacing the Phantom have since been found, a particularly easy one with some practice being cancelling a [[RAR]] directly into Phantom Slash, skipping the [[down aerial]] step completely. This is most viable for [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] users, as the half-circle forward motion starting from the opposite of the direction Zelda is facing is most easily done without controller notches.

This is most viable for [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] users, as canceling the RAR into the Phantom is easier due to the placement of the buttons "X" and "B" being closer together when compared to a [[GameCube controller]].
 
Allowing Zelda to hop backwards into a Phantom has a multitude of uses. In addition to the stage control that the Phantom normally grants, displacing the Phantom will also block a multitude of projectiles, allowing Zelda to safely charge Phantom Slash in situations where it would normally be cancelled by the projectile in question.

Line 80: Line 82:


Since Zelda has control of the Phantom in ''Smash'', the move is directly referencing ''Spirit Tracks''. The Phantom's design in ''Smash'' primarily draws from their appearance in ''Spirit Tracks'', as evidenced by the decorations on their shield, although it is given a unique feminine color scheme that does not precisely match Phantom Zelda. Rather than retaining the cartoonish and cel-shaded design of the "toon" ''Zelda'' games, Zelda's Phantom in ''Smash'' is given a more detailed redesign in line with her own more realistic designs. Since Zelda's Phantom is not possessed, its eyes do not glow at all.

*Phantom Slash is Zelda's only special move that is not based on a spell from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''.

*When Phantom Slash is [[Reflection|reflected]], the color of its armor changes. Its overall tone is darker, the pink armor becomes more of a rusted color, and its blue-purple armor becomes more of a grey-tinted blue. This is reminiscent to Spirit Tracks, where a Phantom possessed by Zelda would have a lighter color scheme than an independent one.
