Basically a ken combo with the first hit of dancing blade instead of fair. I have been using this a lot lately in the peach matchup. It is a great way to take a stock around that 100% range where your only other option for taking the stock is getting a tipper fsmash. Surprised this isn't used more often.

I put together a quick little video showing it in use.

This is one of those improvisation things I expect to happen on a whim rather than a planned option. Its sort of like using a Jab on many characters. It generally relies upon your opponent messing up and not doing something that cause this to work. Many characters can usually do something that can end up messing this up. Most of the time it involves Nair, air dodge, or jumping.

oh and the ken combo is a foward air then a spike this would just be a spike so basically this is just telling people the swords dance sends peach in the air at 138% this could also work with down air up tilt a foward tilt (away from the ledge) and F smash but thats gotta be at like 40% with tipper

It looks like the Peach is DI'ing in so I only assume it works in that case. It also looks like she can probably get out of it with an air dodge tomorrow but I'll lab it out tomorrow to see when it would work.
