Despite it being -7 this is a great poke. It’s difficult for an opponent to punish it when you are at the edge of its range, though characters with far reaching fast pokes (kaede, moriya, washizuka 5A, akari 2A, and notably mukuro 6C) can punish you if they are on point with switch guard. Works as anti jump. Can pester opponents with short dashes and this button mixed with 2C but use with caution so you don’t get deflected. Confirms into 646C 214A from any range it hits a grounded opponent.

Does a decent chunk of damage if it hits in power. Most times you’ll get this by accident trying to cancel 5B into 646C in speed mode. It could be an okay punish from range if dash slice didn’t exit.

  • Good for any interaction, and due to its speed it can beat a lot of buttons. You can Ioh (instant overhead) with this after a 2C on anyone.
  • This move infamously has a bug tied to it. Inputting air A+C will cancel whatever button you hit into jA’s animation, including it’s own. Doing air A+C rapidly makes it chain into itself and can create an infinite that works on hit or block when done quick enough. This is banned in every tournament and considered poor manners in casuals, don’t do it

P 39/4 S 33/4 5 4 20 - -/-15 P 0/10/5 S 0/4/2 M × N/A

Dash Slice. The games strongest special move. Let’s list why.

  • Can hit at both point blank and full screen.
  • Hard knock down
  • can cross up ambiguously,
  • air unblockable
  • fast enough to connect from anything cancelable (notably 5A) or link from a wallbounce 6C.
  • Being air unblockable and being able to cross up means this move can effectively shut down any approach from the air for some characters.
  • It cannot be deflected in the air if it hits from behind.
  • Can be used effectively as a tech chase vs ground or air tech from any distance.
  • You can delay when the slice comes out a bit if you want it to cross up. Max distance for crossing on the ground is slightly farther than a full jump away. A blocked 5A or 5C into crossup dash slice is brutal to deal with.
  • Can always be followed with air kunai otg.
  • Has a higher than normal stun value tied to it in power mode. It’s not uncommon to stun opponents with this move.
  • A character defining move that is difficult for anyone to fight against. Learning how to use this effectively is very important to playing Zantetsu. Hits on frame 13 at its fastest possible input from 646C. It’s only hindered by its input and it being unsafe on block.

2 hit dm, you can delay the 2nd hit by holding AB which is required for juggles. First hit causes a stagger on a grounded opponent that can be mashed out of; if you use it in a ground combo don’t delay the 2nd hit. If you opponent mashes out and blocks the 2 hit give them some respect and accept your punishment. The first hit is an overhead and can be canceled from 2C in speed/ex, so have fun with that. First hit will also reflect projectiles. You can use it after 236A as a juggle by inputting it as 6412369AB. 2nd hit vs grounded opponents crumples on hit, allowing you to connect a fandango(22A/B, requires desperation status to use both in a combo) and guarantees air kunai otg

Combos

Any Mode

  • jA/C 63214C
  • Dash A/B, any special, dm, or sdm in power/ex
  • 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A 6469C 214A j236A/B x2. Jump canceling the 646C is not strictly required for this to work but it makes the timing easier. Optimal meter less damage (and meter gain) after 236A in any mode.
  • 236A jA j63214C. In speed/ex do jA>jC 63214C
  • 236A 6412369AB. Jump canceled Dm, works within range of the DM’s first hit.
  • 2C 2C 5C 236A, follow up of choice
  • 2C 2C 2C 5A 646C 214A j236A/Bx2. Bnb in power, effective in any mode. Input 5A as 6A to make canceling into 646C easier. The input looks like 2C 6A46C 214A
  • 2A2A 2C 5A 646C 214A j236A/Bx2. Alternate to above combo.

Power Mode

  • 2C 2C 5C 214B 641236AB j236A/Bx2 opponent can mash out after 1st hit of the dm, but one example of a dm confirm.
  • 2C 2C 5C 236A jA 63214C
  • 2C 2C 2C 6C 641236AB j236A/B (x2). In a corner hold the dm so both hits juggle, anywhere else release the dm immediately.
  • 2Cx3 5A 646C 214A j236A/Bx2 bnb combo. Putting it here again for reference
  • 4A 6321463214B. Input this as 63214A+C 63214B. If you do the input as 631246A+C 3214B you get 5A xx sdm.
  • 6C 646C 214A (wiff) jA 63214C. For style, cancel to dash slice immediately. You can also do 632147/9C after if you forgo the jA. Doesn’t work in a corner.
  • Cross up JB 2B 6321463214B
  • 2A2A 5A 646C 214A j236A/Bx2 can put a 2C after 2A2A as well.
  • jB j236A 2A2A 2C 5A 2C 6C 623C 3B. Silly corner combo for style
  • jB j236A 2A2A 2C jA j2C + followup, land, j236Ax2. Corner instant overhead combo. Works in all modes, just listing it here.

EX Mode

  • 5A 2A 5B 6321463214B
  • 2C 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 214B 641236AB 22A/B 5A 5B 5C 2C 2A BC 5A link 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A 6469C 214A j236A/Bx2 example of a damage cap combo he can do in ex mode. Note that an astute opponent can mash out of the dm on the ground. Requires desperation

Power and EX Mode

  • Dash A/B, 214B 641246AB j236A/Bx2
  • jB 5A 6321463214B
  • jB j.236A 5A 214B 641236AB j236A/Bx2
  • jB j236A 6321463214B
  • anything not involving a cancelled 6C in power mode will work in ex mode.

Speed and EX Mode

  • Chain to 5B 646C 214A j236A/Bx2. Simple and effective
  • 2C 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A. After this you have some options (“the rest” on this page)
1. 6469C 214A j.236A/Bx2. Optimal without meter.
2. j.A jC j63214C 
3. dash jump jA jB j2C land J.236Ax2
4. 6412369AB J.236A/B best for damage with meter.
5. Dash forward 5A and tech chase if they air recover.
  • The reason for the 2C 2C 5A 2A 5B sequence is range and push back, 2A here has less pushback and allows you more damage from a 2Cx2 starter. You can connect 646C 214B from this pretty reliably. Another one that works is 2C 5A 5A 5B 646C 214B(1)236A xx the rest. Experiment and find what works best for you.
*Note that if you have full meter you may want to do 2C 2C 5A 5B instead of 2C 2C 5A 2A 5B or you can activate fandango immediately on pressing 2A thanks to the games input buffer. This can be avoided by inputting 2C and 2A as 1C and 1A, it’s good to keep in mind however.
  • 5A5A 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A 6469C 214A j.236A/Bx2 Optimal route for damage and meter, 124 vs normal characters with a jB starter
  • 4A 5A 5A 4A 5A 5A 6C 646C 214A j236Bx2 midscreen
  • 2Cx1-3 236A, the rest. From max range jump cancelled 6469C 214A is the only one that can connect outside a corner (usually)
  • 2A2A 2Cx2 5A 2A 6C 646C 214A j.236A/Bx2. Midscreen.
  • J.B, j.236A 2A2A 2C 5A 5B 646C 214B(1)236A, the rest
  • dash B 2B 5BC, the rest
  • anti air deflect, 236A 228A/B 5A 5B 5C 2C 2A BC 5A link 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A 6469C 214A j236A/Bx2. You can skip the 2C here and link 5A directly after the fandango. Does a lot of damage and gives you a bunch of meter back. Works anywhere.
  • chain to 5B 646C 214B(1)236A 2369A 228A/B 5A 5B 5C 2C BC 5A link 2C 5A 2A 5B 646C 214B(1) 236A 6469C 214A j236Ax2. If rules allow more than one 236A in a row this is a way to combo into fandango for him and get a chunk of meter back. Corner only.
  • 22A/B 5A 5B 5C 2C 2A 2C 6BC 646C 214A(wiff) 236A, the rest.
  • Everything listed here can work in ex mode
