BackSlash

How to play:
To attack move away from your opponent to charge your swing, pressing up or down will select from the three directions of attack. Press "Hold" to continue charging while regaining movement, release "Hold" to attack. The initial dash and the damage dealt by your attack improve the longer you charge your swing. 

As long as you aren't charging you are defending. If you match the direction of the incoming attack you can block all dmg from everything except a fully charged swing.
