As with all natural combos, the player must press the relevant button after each step to continue execution of the move. However, unlike all other such attacks, the player is not allowed to continue the move unless it hits something: Cloud will only perform the first slash repeatedly if the move whiffs regardless of what the player does, and if the opponent escapes the second hit, the third step cannot be used. | As with all natural combos, the player must press the relevant button after each step to continue execution of the move.

These slashes deal much more damage (27% total) and greater knockback than the base version of the move, with the final hit's hitbox also becoming slightly larger.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ruben_dal/status/859110965501206528?lang=en]</ref> The camera will also zoom in on the hit fighter if the final hit connects while time slows down for a split second, similar to {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s [[KO Uppercut]]. As Limit Cross Slash possesses very fast startup, a large hitbox, surprisingly low ending lag, and deals high [[shield damage]], it is often considered one of Cloud's most effective and all-purpose Limit Break special moves. | ||
Cross Slash is one of the few attacks in the entire ''Smash'' series that acts differently depending on orientation. Due to the move spelling out a real kanji symbol, the move cannot simply be mirrored, meaning Cloud performs a slightly different animation depending on which way he is facing.<ref>[https://sourcegaming.info/2016/02/23/nintendo-dream-interview-with-sakurai-part-2/ Nintendo Dream Interview with Sakurai: Part 2]</ref> While the differences are negligible, they do have some competitive applications. If Cloud is facing left, the move starts lower, meaning it can more easily hit smaller opponents. If Cloud is facing right, the move starts higher, meaning it becomes a more effective anti-air attack. If two Clouds were to use Cross Slash against each other on the exact same frame, the left-facing Cloud would win the exchange due to the hitbox reaching the opponent first. | |||

Cross Slash is Cloud's second Limit Break in ''Final Fantasy VII'', which he learns after performing his initial Limit Break, Braver, eight times. It deals 3.25 times the damage of a normal physical attack to one enemy and inflicts paralysis. The usual animation for the attack shows him performing three strikes as opposed to the four strokes needed to write the kanji (''Smash Bros.'' instead has him perform a total of five slashes). However, in some instances, such as in the | [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Cross-slash_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Cross Slash] is Cloud's second level 1 Limit Break in ''Final Fantasy VII'', which he learns after performing his initial Limit Break, Braver, eight times. It deals 3.25 times the damage of a normal physical attack to one enemy and inflicts paralysis. The usual animation for the attack shows him performing three strikes as opposed to the four strokes needed to write the kanji (''Smash Bros.'' instead has him perform a total of five slashes). However, in some instances, such as in the {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} series, the kanji visual may be absent. In ''Smash 4'', it uses a similar design to the original ''Final Fantasy VII'', while in ''Ultimate'', its design is based on its appearance in ''Dissidia Final Fantasy''. The animation of the last three hits of Cross Slash in ''Smash'' is based on its animation in the 1998 fighting game ''Ehrgeiz'', which featured several ''Final Fantasy VII'' characters, including Cloud, as guest fighters. | ||
