The small jump that Shulk performs when using the move can jump over small projectiles, and the slash can catch opponents off guard with its wide range, giving it some use as a surprise approach option. It is useful for punishing laggy attacks, specifically those that cause the opponent to end with their back facing Shulk, for tech or roll chases if the player reads an opponent's dodge, and can be used after a back throw to hit an opponent who attempts to jump back after being thrown. However, the attack has high ending lag, making it unsafe if shielded. In ''Ultimate'', the jump distance can be increased or decreased by inputting right or left during the jump respectively. | The small jump that Shulk performs when using the move can jump over small projectiles, and the slash can catch opponents off guard with its wide range, giving it some use as a surprise approach option.

Shulk cannot cancel out of the move when he has initiated it: as a result, careless use of it can result in opponents punishing the attack's lag, and it can also result in a [[self-destruct]] if used too close to a ledge. In | Shulk cannot cancel out of the move when he has initiated it: as a result, careless use of it can result in opponents punishing the attack's lag, and it can also result in a [[self-destruct]] if used too close to a ledge. In addition, despite the small lateral movement Shulk gets from initiating the move in the air, utilizing it as [[recovery]] is risky and ineffective as the move does not [[edge sweet spot|sweetspot]] ledges. In version [[1.1.0]] of both games, Back Slash's startup was reduced by 9 [[frame]]s, making it moderately easier to land. | ||
It is also one of the few moves in ''Smash 4'' with a back-hitting hitstun animation, as the opponent does not automatically turn around when receiving a hit from this attack. | It is also one of the few moves in ''Smash 4'' with a back-hitting hitstun animation, as the opponent does not automatically turn around when receiving a hit from this attack. | ||
