Help with Master Core Sword Form..

I have no problem with the hands, Master core (body form), and I find Master Beast especially easy. But those swords, they have one attack I'm not sure the best way to dodge. Where they sort of lean back and slowly approach, then they do a flurry of swipes followed by one large swipe. Is there a proper way to dodge this, because the only thing I've found is running to the other side of it, dropping off the stage, and then recovering at the right time... but that's proven pretty risky. Any help?

Well, what I do to defend myself against that attack, is when I see the swords approaching, I try to gain some space between me and them, and when they get so close to the point where they can hit me, I simply shield, completely stopping the fast swipes and just right after they end I do a side dodge to avoid the last attack.

This works for me almost always, I suggest you try it. Of course it depends on how fast you react and you have to be very careful to not break your shield (can happen), but if you do it correctly, nothing bad is going to happen.

Sometimes it works to lure them to the left end of the stage, then dart behind them at the last second. If you can get behind the swords before the swords start the attack, you will be ok. If you are in front, it will move into you.

That's what I try to do too. I don't always succeed though :)
The option of shielding is good too, but sometimes I end up with a shield break that way, so I try to avoid it. Depending on the character, it's easier ssaid than done

I foxtrot (rapid dashing) away from them. It seems to work most of the time.

ive dont the swords many times with ganon, i sidestep (down dodge) each major swipe. playing them enough times helped me with theyre tricky timing, and having a buffed attack ganon takes the cores forms out quickly

Those dang swords are hard pressing, and they're difficult out predict. Their moves aren't terribly hard to dodge, but I've found myself off guard when I spam smash attacks against the swords.

Definitely find space from the swords when they're ready to do their swarming strike.

I've found hard times trying to not take damage from their side sweep + the big slam to the stage. I don't know these attacks names by heart, so forgive me there.
