Changes: Air Slash

Revision as of 01:31, 13 July 2017

Air Slash (エアスラッシュ, Air Slash) is Shulk's up special move. Shulk will perform two slashes that propels himself into the air.

Overview

Shulk will first do a vertical slash, which propels himself into the air, dealing set knockback to opponents. If the attack button is pressed again, Shulk will do an outward slash that knocks opponents away and propel himself more.

Air Slash functions similarly to Dolphin Slash, granting decent vertical distance but little to no horizontal distance, which can leave Shulk helpless if knock far from the stage horizontally. However, Air Slash is a more viable attack option due to hitting twice and dealing knockback with the final hit. Shulk can perform a Reverse Air Slash, though this does not affect knockback or damage.

Air Slash does 11-12% damage with some knockback, with the damage increasing to 16% while in Buster mode and increasing its knockback with Smash mode, making it a reliable KO move. Shulk can increase the vertical distance gained with Jump;however, he must have his second jump in order to be successful.

Custom Variations

Advancing Air Slash

Advancing Air Slash is one of Shulk's Up Special Moves that can be used via customizations. Shulk does the same as the default. However, the second hit will make Shulk go straight forward.

Mighty Air Slash

Mighty Air Slash is one of Shulk's Up Special Moves that can be used via customizations. Shulk does the same as the default, with less range and more power. However, it's easier to do the follow up attack.

Side Special	Back Slash Leap	Back Slash Charge
Up Special	Advancing Air Slash	Mighty Air Slash

Origin

Air Slash was one of Shulk's physical arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. He would leap in the air and slash at the opponent. The attack would inflict a status called Break and would also slow the enemy down if a successful hit was made to the side of an enemy.

Trivia

Using Air Slash will give the Monado a pink glow, to show that it was an art which caused break in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Using the Jump Art will still increase the height of the two custom variations.
