Samurai Slide

Jinrai Animation Cancel Katana Augmented Super Speed using Directionals And Backdashes, or JACKASS DAB for short.

Requirements

 * Jinrai ( Weapon Technique) - Either Mastered or be default from the Raikiri and Mikazuki katanas.


 * Any channeled Directional Shard equipped. Directional Shield suggested to go through enemies.

How to perform

 * 1) Start Jinrai animation (646A)
 * 2) Hold down
 * 3) Backstep when the animation for the slash begins
 * 4) Hold down Directional button

Boreal Rime Boot Swap
To gain more momentum, you want to swap to Boreal Rime Boots before the slash part of Jinrai happens.


 * 1) Start Jinrai animation
 * 2) Shortcut Swap to Boreal Rime Boots
 * 3) Cancel Jinrai mid-slash -> Directional Shard

You can also buffer it from a Parry:


 * 1) Parry (66A) with a Katana with Jinrai
 * 2) Shortcut switch to Boreal Rime Boots during Parry animation
 * 3) Buffer in Jinrai, you can perform it even though you have boots equipped
 * 4) Backstep cancel into Directional as normal

Properties
Cancelled Jinrai speeds you forward, allowing you to traverse on solid, relatively flat ground. Ledges and full walls will stop you. You are not invulnerable, just very fast. The momentum gained from Jinrai slows down eventually, but you can keep it up by swapping to Boreal Rime Boots.

Applications

 * Zip through multiple screens


 * Have enough momentum to clip through things
