Jump -> Dash -> Slash (hold) -> Switch To Gun -> Shoot -> Release LMB
Comments:
The basis of almost all quick-movement combat within the game, this is one of the first types of canceling most people learn. It consists of canceling a mid-air slash immediately into a weapon switch to shoot. It can be repeated by switching back to a sword after execution.
•Do not expect to be able to execute slash shot perfectly without spending time practicing. Even the most advanced players had to spend some time learning to do it.
•Instead of dashing forward when you dash in slash shot, try dashing to the sides to reduce your predictability. Dashing toward someone who can see you and knows you're there is a great way to get shot at.
•Once you are able to consistently slash shot in practice, try to incorporate it into your normal game play. It may be harder to use slash shot in normal situations, but it is more beneficial to your training to do so.
•Once you have fully integrated slash shot into your game play, you may begin to find that your accuracy while using slashshot will be much worse than if you were not. This too may be improved by practice. Preferably against other players. Eventually, you'll learn either to predict where the enemy is moving and shoot at it, or use your movements (the dashes in slashshot, halfstep, etc) to align your gun with the enemy.
••It is in my experience that using a slashshot while in very close proximity to the enemy with a powerful shotgun is quite lethal, especially with Avengers and Swords, as a slash to the enemy followed by a shotgun in the face will deal a lot of damage, especially if used repeatedly.
