Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Cresselia appears on the Spear Pillar stage and will often shoot Psycho Cuts around the field, and sometimes shoot one large Psycho Cut as if it were a boomerang, hitting anyone that touches it.

In the anime

Both of the users hands glow blue and it uses them to slice the opponent.
