Back Slash is Shulk's side special move in SSB4.

Overview

Back Slash, although slow, has very high range. When using the move, Shulk performs a slash attack with the Monado. The amount of 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.

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.
