Blade Beam is Cloud's neutral special move.
Cloud fires a green beam from his Buster Sword, using a rising sword slash. The initial sword slash has no hitbox and deals no damage, and the beam dissipates on the first target it hits.
If used on the ground, this beam deals 8% damage at close range and 6% past half distance. It travels 3/5 the length of Final Destination.
If used in the air, the beam's damage is reduced by 2% at all ranges. It also travels slower, dissipating at just over half the length of Final Destination.
