the slide has to be legal.

That means butt cheek and one leg on the ground. I cant envision a case where the slide is legal but still rises in my judgment to malicious contact. I guess there could be a case when you judge intent to harm even when the slide is legal.

Fairly easy to envision such a case....an otherwise legal slide coming in spikes high could easily be MC.

No need for high spikes - F3's leg is on the ground.
