| '''Back Slash''' ({{ja|バックスラッシュ}}, ''Back Slash'') is {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[side special]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| Back Slash, although slow, has very high range. When using the move, Shulk performs a slash attack with the Monado. The amount of <!--damage and-->[[knockback]] inflicted increases if the move is used from behind the opponent. Though it appears to be very laggy, it is a powerful move to compensate.
| |
| | |
| Successful attacks on an opponent's back will deal bonus damage and put them into a different knockback animation, facing away from Shulk. Namely, the animation one does bouncing off a wall after suffering knockback.
| |
| | |
| 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 as the move does not [[edge sweet spot|sweetspot]] ledges.
| |
| | |
| It is also one of the few moves with a back-hitting hitstun animation, as the opponent does not automatically turn around when receiving a hit from this attack.
| |
| | |
| ==Customization==
| |
| | |
| Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:
| |
| # '''Back Slash Leap''': Shulk leaps up before slashing downward towards the ground. Has reduced horizontal movement, but comes out a little faster.
| |
| # '''Back Slash Charge''': Shulk leaps forward, gaining [[super armor]] for the slash. This move has increased horizontal movement, but has harshly reduced damage if not striking the back.
| |
| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| Back Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'': if the move is used from behind, the enemy takes double the normal damage. Otherwise, it is treated like a normal attack. The red color of the Monado's beam is a reference to the red which identifies physical arts in the menus.
