Back Slash Notes

• The attack does very low damage, and moves backward slowly, making it not very evasive.
• This attack allows you to move before you can Ki pulse, meaning you can cancel the animation of using an item with a Ki pulse. This is powerful when used in conjunction with certain items, such as the Shadow Arts ninjutsu.
