Overview

Swings his Binding Blade in an upward direction behind himself. If timed properly, its fast start-up allows it to reliably edgeguard opponents attempting vertical recoveries below the ledge, potentially leading to a stage spike. Otherwise strong under its own merit, the move offers itself as a valid K.O. option, though its usefulness is fairly limited by situational effectiveness.
