Omnislash / Omnislash Ver. 5
User	Cloud
Universe	Final Fantasy

Omnislash (超究武神覇斬, Super Ultimate Martial God Supreme Slash) is Cloud's Final Smash.

Description

Upon activating it, a text box with the word "Omnislash" appears at the top of the screen. Cloud then charges forward (in a similar fashion to Critical Hit, Marth and Lucina's Final Smashes), stopping at the first opponent he tackles. Missing with this attack on the ground on a walk-off stage, or in the air without any intervening terrain, usually results in a self-destruct. The tackled opponent (and any other targets immediately around them) are knocked high into the air with Cloud's sword. Caught victims are repeatedly slashed in midair and slammed to the ground in a mighty explosion, taking a total of 50% damage. The move can potentially KO as early as 25%.

Opponents who are caught only by Cloud's concluding sword slash (not by the initial tackle) take anywhere from 10%/14% damage (depending on how many targets are ultimately hit by the explosion and their distance from Cloud).

Origin

Omnislash is the final Limit Break Cloud learns in Final Fantasy VII. The attack can be learned by using the item of the same name won in the Gold Saucer's Battle Square, provided Cloud has learned all of his other Limit Breaks. When used, Omnislash deals 15 hits against randomly-selected enemies, inflicting massive total damage. It is famously used as the finishing blow on the game's final boss, Sephiroth, regardless of whether or not it was learned by Cloud beforehand.

In most Final Fantasy games, magic spells and special attacks are preceded by the appearance of a text box showing the move's name at the top of the screen, hence the "Omnislash" text box at the beginning of the Final Smash.

Trivia

• This Final Smash is unique in that not only does it possess unique camera angles during the attack (therefore somewhat making it cinematic), but those camera angles are not viewed when not every opponent is caught in the attack.
  • Furthermore, those same camera angles cannot be seen on 2D stages such as Flat Zone X, Super Mario Maker, or Duck Hunt.
