The Air Slasher (エアスラッシャー, Ea Surasshaa), also known as the "Max Out", is one of Dee Jay's special attacks, introduced along with him in Super Street Fighter II.

Input
All appearances Charge backwardForward + Punch

Description

Executed by charging backward then pressing forward and punch, Dee Jay whips his arm across in an uppercut motion, creating a shock wave which travels across the screen, cutting through the air. The speed of the projectile is determined by the punch button used. The attack is extremely similar to Charlie's version of the Sonic Boom.

The EX Special version introduced in Super Street Fighter IV causes Dee Jay to launch two consecutive projectiles by whipping both arms across the air. Both projectiles have less startup time and travel faster than the normal version.

Trivia

  • In the Super Street Fighter II games, the Air Slasher is very similar in appearance to Sagat's Tiger Shot, though the latter is vertical (  )  ), while the former is horizontal (  -  ).
