Air Slash (エアスラッシュ, Air Slash) is Shulk's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4. The attack was first seen in a leaked video recorded for ESRB.
Overview
It works in a similar vein to Marth and Lucina's Dolphin Slash, using the Monado to propel Shulk upwards with an airstrike. By pressing the attack button at the end of the move, Shulk can follow up with a second slash, like in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Advancing Air Slash: The first slash launches enemies diagonally, with the second slash moving Shulk forward.
- Mighty Air Slash: The range of the attack is reduced, but deals more damage.
Origin
Air Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in Xenoblade Chronicles, where Shulk briefly jumps into the air and unleashes two sword strikes. It inflicts the status Break to an enemy, and also inflicts Slow if the attack hits the enemy against the side. Shulk learns this art at level 14.
