Attack with '''Slash Claw''' and you will put him into an infinite loop of the attack in which he jumps, spins his arms, and then tries to punch you at your current location (very easy to dodge by running/sliding).

;Mega Buster strategy
If you plan on fighting Spring Man without the Slash Claw, you won't have many problems. Spring Man is slow and you can dodge his attacks fairly easily. He jumps around the arena a few times before using his punching attack, then he uses his Wild Coil and continues to jump before using the punches again. Slide around the arena as he jumps, it's faster than walking and the margin of error becomes larger. Shoot his Wild Coil springs as he uses them, so they won't cause you a problem as you try to dodge Spring Man himself.
