I agree with Plas. You can go for it if an opponent is distracted, but when you get into higher level playing, opponents will dodge the Back Slash and punish you for it. Hey, it all depends on the opponent you're facing! Also, like Plas said, go for different attacks to catch your opponent off guard. Let's say the opponent predicts that you'll go for another Back Slash. Fast-fall near the stage and they will probably shield for the supposed Back Slash. Instead, you instead go for a grab. All in the mix-ups!
