If no directional keys are held down, Shulk performs a large, slow forward-sliding upwards slash, capable of hitting opponents a distance away from him; this has one of the longest horizontal [[reach]]es of any counterattack, along with [[Double Team]], [[Substitute]] and {{b|Toad|move}}. If forward is held during the counterpose (only while Shulk is grounded), he will instead perform a dashing slice through the opponent. This variant is much faster, sends opponents behind him, and has higher knockback growth (84 → 94), but has the tendency to miss more often due to the attack's speed and Shulk's forward momentum. | If no directional keys are held down, Shulk performs a large, slow forward-sliding upwards slash, capable of hitting opponents a distance away from him; this has one of the longest horizontal [[reach]]es of any counterattack, along with [[Double Team]], [[Substitute]] and {{b|Toad|move}}.

The regular counterattack deals a minimum of 7%/10% (beam/blade), and otherwise deals x1.3 the damage of the move that it countered. The forward counterattack has the same multiplier, but with a minimum of 10%/13% (beam/blade) instead. This counter will [[one-hit KO]] when countering a hitbox that deals at least 35% damage, and is one of the strongest counterattacks in terms of knockback. | The regular counterattack deals a minimum of 7%/10% (beam/blade), and otherwise deals x1.3 the damage of the move that it countered.

Vision's weaknesses include being one of the two counterattacks with a sourspot in ''Smash 4'' (along with {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s {{b|Counter|Palutena}}) due to the Monado's blade and beam hitboxes. Additionally, the counterattacking window becomes shorter (decreasing by 11, 8, 5, 4, then 2 frames) every time it is used in succession (regardless if the counterattack is triggered), eventually reducing Vision's counter window to a mere 5 frames if it is spammed, which does not happen to any other counter ([[Witch Time]]'s effect when successful decreases, but the counter window itself remains the same). The window length is fully replenished when 15 seconds pass without using Vision, or once Shulk is [[KO]]'d and respawns. | Vision's weaknesses include being one of the two counterattacks with a sourspot in ''Smash 4'' (along with {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s {{b|Counter|Palutena}}) due to the Monado's blade and beam hitboxes.

Speed and Shield will decrease damage (and knockback as a result), Buster will increase damage and decrease knockback, and Smash will decrease damage and increase knockback. These changes are significant enough that they affect Vision's knockback at 0%, such that Vision will take longer to OHKO while any of these Arts are active, to the point of requiring a move that causes Vision to deal the [[counterattack]] damage cap. | ||
In ''Smash 4'', Vision can be used to perform the [[advanced technique]], {{h2||Vision Sliding}}. | |||

# '''Power Vision''': Shulk counters with a much stronger slash, but the attack itself has increased startup and ending lag. Has extreme knockback, OHKOing upon countering an attack that deals 30% damage (the lowest OHKO requirement out of all counterattacks) and can even KO upon countering a jab if the opponent is at 60% or above on small stages. However, the counter window is shortened more drastically with each consecutive use, to the point where it loses the majority of its counter-frames on its second use, and essentially loses its ability to counter on the third use. Due to the move's only downside being the inability to counter after excessive use while still keeping its respectably long counter window when fresh, it is one of the most powerful counter moves in the game, and arguably the most feared. | # '''Power Vision''': Shulk counters with a much stronger slash, but the attack itself has increased startup and ending lag.

'''Vision Sliding''' is an [[advanced technique]] | '''Vision Sliding''' is an [[advanced technique]] in ''Smash 4'' which allows Shulk to significantly amplify the distance he moves upon the activation of Vision's counterattack, along with the ability to have complete control of the counterattack's momentum. The bug that allowed this technique has been fixed in ''Ultimate'' and thus is impossible to perform in that game. | ||
It can be triggered when Shulk activates Vision on the exact frame he transitions from air to ground. As the timing for Vision Sliding is very strict, [[buffer]]ing Vision out of aerials is commonly done to make this easier. It can also be triggered by doing a standing turnaround (or [[perfect pivot]]) and pressing down special for exactly one frame during the turnaround animation. Though extremely difficult to perform consistently otherwise, what would otherwise be a niche technique is extremely easy and practical to perform for Shulk players with their [[C-Stick]]/right [[control stick]] set to "Special | It can be triggered when Shulk activates Vision on the exact frame he transitions from air to ground.

If done correctly, Shulk will be able to slide a tiny distance forward or back during Vision's counter pose, and will be able to slide a very considerable distance during the counter attack, which can be done in both horizontal directions due to Vision's ability to be reverse inputted. All subsequent buffered Vision counterattacks used in a row will Vision Slide until the player stops using the move.

All subsequent buffered Vision counterattacks used in a row will Vision Slide until the player stops using the move. The distance of the slide is dependent on the [[air speed]] and [[air acceleration]] granted by [[Monado Arts]]. The Arts with the longest to shortest slides are follows: Jump, Speed, No Arts/Buster/Smash, Shield. | ||
The primary applications of this technique include punishing [[projectiles]] that would otherwise outrange Vision's hitbox (similar to one of Shulk's custom down specials, Dash Vision), as well as baiting opponents to attack Shulk due to his high landing lag, as special moves can be used before landing lag occurs as a way to defend himself. In teams scenarios, Vision Sliding can also be triggered by a teammate, allowing its large range to hit multiple opponents (even if shielding). | The primary applications of this technique include punishing [[projectiles]] that would otherwise outrange Vision's hitbox (similar to one of Shulk's custom down specials, Dash Vision), as well as baiting opponents to attack Shulk due to his high landing lag, as special moves can be used before landing lag occurs as a way to defend himself.
