Waku Waku 7/Slash

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy

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 the Mix up character of the game, with reverse DP teleports used to surprise opponents so he can use his many command normals. Slash needs to be played knowing what you want to do, most of his normals are minus even on hit which makes him a very committal character. Dokidoki can be buffered during so it comes out on his first available active frame.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Can wall jump and teleport, who makes him the most mobile character in the game Teleport gives full invincibility Slash projectile (236A/B) can't be destroyed by other projectiles 214A/B is more faster than most of his moves but if it gets block can be punished hard 0F Dokidoki Can crouch Cancel	Basic Attacks leave him really minus without the possibility to cancel anything to make them safe What is plus frames?

This is your crouch cancel button. If you want to pressure someone with any button up close, this would be it. Be mindful that it'll whiff on a crouching opponent. 5A can be crouch canceled to combo into 2D or A Slash Barrier. A Slash Barrier is the easier link.

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.

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.
