Back Slash (バックスラッシュ, 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.

Unique for this move, successful attacks on an opponent's back will deal bonus damage and put them into a different knockback animation, facing away from Shulk. Namely, the animation one does bouncing off a wall after suffering knockback.

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.
