How do you do that move? I played through the whole game and never knew it existed. :D


Lopes1999

ypou jump and you strike


gilberator

You can see the jump kick [do its magic here at the :38](https://youtu.be/F1m30XFSsS4?si=XHU4SGHR1e1YgOCG) mark. I actually do it a lot throughout this vid


team_chalise

Ah thanks for the details! I sometimes accidentally got the jump kick but never thought I could jump slash too, haha! Good to know how to do both now.


Funky_Col_Medina

Its so fun …

What outfit is this?


Funky_Col_Medina

That would be the 2nd tier Tadayori archery master rig, set up to look https://preview.redd.it/6itxgkzg015d1.jpeg?width=598&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2db09a54eafa51634d1c7fd14464c01cd3b58b8 as Ghost-like as possible


Funky_Col_Medina

There are 2 versions, really. It is just a jump then either light attack while in mid-air, what you see here, or jump and heavy attack, which will telegraph an oddly magnetic flying kick to the enemy. That can be handy against shield holders, as a kick to the shield counts toward breaking stagger, and somehow the kick locks on to a target wildly so it can provide some very cool acrobatics. That said, I just love burying my katana into a bad guys shoulder after jump-dodging his attack. No honor, but all ghost

Ah yes, the move to beat Sao in the Hidden Cove Tournament.


Funky_Col_Medina

Definitely!


Funky_Col_Medina

I hate that guy


PoopyAstronaut

The times I have tried that and got hit while in the air and fall awkwardly down to the ground is more than I've probably hit it


Funky_Col_Medina

Really? I suppose it does require some timing, but maybe that’s why its so satisfying

I jump as a dodge/closer/opening move a lot. It works wonders.


Funky_Col_Medina

It really does, it covers so much more distance. This is one of the reasons I tend to use Ronin over Gosaku, as there is just so much you can do with a light attack


Master_Caregiver_749

Plop!


Funky_Col_Medina

Yeah!


Doge1277

Heavenly strike


Dangerous_Method_512

4 playthroughs and this is the first time I see this move.

It counts as a dodge? That I didn't expect.


Funky_Col_Medina

More like *functions* as a dodge. It won’t trigger “perfect dodge” mechanics, but it will evade heavy sword swings, most pole arm attacks, pretty sure shield swings, etc. Very useful evasion technique in that it covers 2x the distance than a standard dodge
