Monado Arts: Difference between revisions

One can also perform a '''MonaDACUS''', or a '''Monado Deactivated Art Canceled Up Smash''', in a similar vein to the [[DACUS]] technique in ''Brawl'' (hence the name). By canceling out of the Speed Art during an animation where Shulk can buffer an Art Cancel, Shulk will keep the increased momentum and lowered traction of his previous Art for a few frames, allowing him to slide even further and punish opponents with a [[jump-cancel]]ed up smash. This helps Shulk punish attacks that he usually wouldn't be able to reach, and due to the cancellation of the Speed Art, also allows him to do more damage with an up smash when compared to simply jump-canceling an up smash while in the Speed Art. It should be noted that this technique gains almost no distance without a jump-canceled up smash, and Shulk's up smash is unsafe on shield regardless, so care should be taken.
