Soaring Slash is Chrom's up special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Soaring Slash is very similar to Aether, Ike's recovery move. However, instead of throwing his sword upwards and jumping to catch it as Ike does, Chrom performs a slash upwards, and then jumps with his sword still in hand, twirling in the air before coming back down. Soaring Slash offers no horizontal momentum, as it stops all of Chrom's momentum and sends him straight up and down. As a result, it is inferior as a recovery, even in comparison to Aether.

Origin

Chrom originally performed this move in the Two Falchions cutscene of Fire Emblem: Awakening, when he was fighting against Lucina in her Marth disguise on Arena Ferox. He is also capable of performing a move very similar to Soaring Slash in Fire Emblem Warriors.
