Introduction

Slash is a monster hunter from the world of the monsters. His job is to punish the evil monsters who escape from their world to this one. He fights with a sword of light and likes wandering and eating bowls of rice with tempura.

Slash is a mixup/bait and punish character who controls midrange with excellent normals as well as his character-defining ability to teleport. He sports a deadly combination of being able to teleport behind his opponent and zero frame supers which must be blocked the correct way prior to the super flash. Most of his options are very minus even on hit, but mastering his crouch cancelable 5A opens up a multi-dimensional pressure, mixup and combo game.

Slash
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Mobility: Slash can wall jump and teleport, which makes him the most mobile character in the game. Teleport is his most important character-defining tool and is especially great because of the invincibility frames in the middle.
  • Crouch Cancel 5A: He can crouch cancel his 5A which gives him some of the highest damage confirms in the game as well as very strong block pressure/mixups. All of his supers are confirmable from 5A except for HaraHara. It is difficult to master but well worth it.
  • Fantastic Supers: Every super of his has excellent utility. 623AB, 214AB and 641236CD are 0f post-flash. This means that if the opponent is not already blocking correctly prior to the super flash, they will get hit, which pairs incredibly well with the ability to teleport behind them. 236AB is good for situational punishes as well as corner stun combos.
  • Great Normals: 6D is among the best normals in the game due to the amazing hitbox, long active frames, high momentum from run, and high damage wallsplat. It is punishable on block point blank, but it can be plus meaty. 6A, while not as rewarding, dominates the midrange. 2B is one of the most consistent anti airs in the game.
  • Poor Defensive Options: Slash's universal rising attack from knockdown is one of the worst in the game. The small hitbox and active frames leave him uniquely vulnerable to certain types of oki. His backdash is very slow and has little invincibility. His DP is also entirely useless as an anti air and is not invincible.
  • Overall Poor Frame Data: Outside of the standout tools in his kit, many of Slash's attacks leave him punishable. Many are even punishable on hit.
  • Teleports Are Reactable: Experienced players will react to teleports and use them as opportunities to land strong punishes. Effectively using them against experienced players will require good reads on what they're committing to.

  • This is Slash's crouch cancelable normal. It is central to his optimal combos and pressure. Input 66~4A to get dash momentum for longer strings.
  • After a successful crouch cancel this move will be able to combo into itself, 2C, 214B, 623B or any of his supers besides HaraHara.
  • Crouch cancel 5A is plus on block. Frame trapping with more 5A's, 2C or 236A is strong. Doing an overhead or teleport into grab are great mixup options from here.

  • Completely outclassed by 6B in terms of damage, range, and frame advantage and that move isn't too great either.
  • Most characters can punish you for landing this at a close enough range so avoid using this.

  • Tied with 2D as his slowest low option.
  • Combos into 5D.
  • The short range and lack or real advantage from this move makes it pretty useless in most situations.

  • Can be used for a more lateral anti-air, but usually 2B is always the answer.
  • Combos from 5C.
  • Will wiff on crouching opponents.
  • Ultimately doesn't see much use, since it doesn't knockdown you get nothing for landing this. At least you aren't super minus on hit like the standing B normals.

  • Your opponents will get very tired of jumping on you once you meet them with this. Much lower commitment as an AA (Anti-Air) than his DP; you have plenty of time to react to their next move accordingly after returning to neutral.

  • The best low option to use at close range as well as his fastest low.
  • Combos into 2D making it a reliable punish.
  • A great abare option because of the speed and low profile. Be careful though because experienced players will punish it on block.

  • His farthest reaching punish that grants you HKD. However, no matter how late you hit it on block, it is still itself very punishable. Use with discretion.
  • Because of how active and far this move reaches, it is your most reliable roll punish tool.
  • At close range it needs to be blocked three times.

  • His best option for a jump in.
  • Has enough hitstun to combo into 6D even when performed early enough to be falling on the opponent with active frames.
  • This move's great horizontal reach allows you to fish for punishes after successful air blocks. Air blockstun recovers quickly so you can often punish moves that you've just air blocked with this normal.

  • Much like 5B this move is not great, although it's slightly better than that one.
  • Because of the surprisingly high damage off of it using it as a quick punish to end the round is feasible but you better hope it does kill otherwise you will get punished for it.

  • Air unblockable

  • The range is slightly bigger than it looks making it good to just throw out

  • Not great as an air to air as the startup and active frames aren't great.
  • If used as a jump in however it puts them in a juggle state where you can get a move out to combo if the move is fast enough. 6D and 214A are good for this. This only works if they are on the ground otherwise it causes a normal hard knockdown.

  • After Slash completes the backflip animation, around 21F, you can input any move that can be done in the air which includes his teleport. If the opponent throw softens teleporting in front of them will leave you minus but if they don't then it allows you to set up for oki. This applies to the air throw as well.

  • This applies to the air teleport as well: THE most important part of Slash's gameplay, utilizing his teleports is essential to Slash's mixup game.
  • They are punishable on reaction however, so be sure to not be predictable with your teleports.
  • Opponents moves that are inputted during the teleport will also autocorrect if you switch sides with them which also adds another risk. It's important to learn the spacing and when the right opportunity to teleport is.
  • D teleport can force a back roll to act as a forward roll, turning the opponent around as they get up (Forcing the opponent to block cross-up against any sort of follow-up)
