Skyward Slash Dash

Skyward Slash Dash
The first hit of the move.
User	Mii Swordfighter
Universe	Super Smash Bros.

Skyward Slash Dash (スカイワードスラッシュダッシュ, Skyward Slash Dash), known as Super Slash Dash in the PAL version, is one of three up special moves for the Mii Swordfighter.

Overview

When used, the Swordfighter unleashes a series of strikes above their head while rising into the air. This move can be directed to head in any direction, including downwards. The last hit deals considerably more knockback than the rest. It is quite similar to Wolf's Fire Wolf and Fox's Twisting Fox.

In Ultimate, the move's startup lag has been reduced and its damage output has been buffed significantly, dealing the most raw damage of all of the Swordfighter's up specials. However, it still has the most start-up frames, making it a poor out-of-shield or combo option, and fails to KO at reasonable percent ranges.

A technique known as SSD Scoop can be used against characters recovering low in which Mii Swordfighter jumps off the stage and performs a down-angled Skyward Slash Dash towards the ledge. If done correctly, this can infinitly be repeated on certain characters (such as Fox) until the opponent is slowly defeated.
