| An overhead slash with the Buster Sword. It covers a wide area and deals solid damage, but offers pitiful knockback compared to most comparably slow-but-strong aerials, unable to KO reliably until around 175%. Though slow, its long startup actually has its perks, with it being Cloud's slowest aerial by a significant margin, it can be used interchangeably with his others to attack with unpredictable timing and as a hard punish for an untimely [[Air dodge|airdodge]] or shield drop. Its high [[shieldstun]] and good coverage give it use as an anti-air and [[spacing]] tool, but [[Cloud (SSB4)/Neutral aerial|neutral]] and [[Cloud (SSB4)/Back aerial|back aerial]] are often preferred for their superior speed and consistency.

| In edgeguarding scenarios, forward aerial offers a higher risk, higher reward option over [[Cloud (SSB4)/Neutral aerial|neutral aerial]], being a more committal and unreliable alternative, but with a sweetspot capable of spiking opponents and KOing them much earlier than [[Cloud (SSB4)/Neutral aerial|neutral aerial]] could.
