Talk:Broad Slash/@comment-75.162.67.177-20170404233510

Something to note about this skill, since its main utility is in positioning: If you do the move "raw" on its own, the direction your character moves will be opposite the direction you hold on the stick (i.e. if you hold right, the character will fall back to the left while slashing to the right).

If you use Broad Slash as a combo from another attack or skill, your character will move in the same direction as the control stick (i.e. if you do an attack then immediately hold right and use the skill, your character will hop to the right and slash to the left)

This is something worth being aware of in combat to ensure you don't accidentally wind up going the opposite of the direction you wanted, and straight into the loving arms of an Ogre or something like that. In particular, keep in mind that if you try to combo into Broad Slash but delay it for a moment in order to time it better, you may pass the window where it's considered a "combo" anymore, and thus instead of your character moving the direction you're holding, they'll suddenly decide to do exactly the opposite. Generally, it seems that as long as your character's still in the animation of the previous move, it'll use the "combo" control orientation
