"Mega Man: The Slash Claw cuts things apart, doesn't it?"
Dr. Light: "Yes, but it has limited range.
"
―Mega Man and Dr. Light, Mega Man 7

Slash Claw (スラッシュクロー Surasshu Kurō) is Slash Man's Special Weapon in the Mega Man series. It allows the user to swing his arm to generate a crescent-shaped beam of energy straight forward. It is a short range weapon, but the powerful slashes are very effective against smaller enemies.

Appearances[]

Mega Man 7[]

Slash Claw is obtained by Mega Man after Slash Man's defeat. This is Spring Man's weakness; hitting him with this weapon causes him to fall to pieces and prevents him from using his Wild Coil. It is also the weakness of Guts Man G and HannyaNED², and does 2 points of damage to Junk Man.

The Weapons Archive blocks in the first Wily Castle stage uses the Slash Claw when it uploads Slash Man's data file.

After Slash Man's defeat in the "Rescue Roll!" course, Slash Claw can be obtained by taking the Special Weapon Item dropped by Slash Man.

The Slash Claw is used by Mega Man in the fighting games, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as his back aerial attack. Mega Man turns around and quickly slashes opponents behind him with it, hitting them three times and inflicting 5% in the first hit, 4% in the second and 3% in the third, for a total of 11% if all hits land on the opponent. The last hit sends opponents back. One of Mega Man's alternate color swaps also resembles his color when equipped with the Slash Claw in Mega Man 7.
