I really believe Shulk mains may have already figured this out before me, but I figured that I should put it out there since there doesn't seem to be any coverage on it. I mean, it'll help people learn Shulk. And Shulk is awesome - gotta post it.
Despite this move being an F-special, it probably has the easiest reverse to execute in the whole game. The reversing threshold lies between the moment the move is activated and right before Shulk draws the Monado. Inputting the reverse immediately after activating the move makes little to no difference, but inputting the reverse just before the draw will shorten the distance of Shulk's jump quite significantly in comparison. There doesn't seem to be any changes beside the shortened jump distance - no visible changes in attributes or hitboxes. It doesn't do much in ordinary situations, but it's good if you need to cut off an extra inch in order to not pass the target.
It should be said that I tested this move on Smash 3DS, and I do not have Smash WiiU, so I can't say totally for sure if Back Slash is reversible in both versions of the game. But is this news? Is anyone feeling this? Any input is welcome. Just no smack talk.
- Thank you
