Well, i thought it was only fitting to add this to our strategies section so that our members can figure out how to get to new places on maps. To start, you need to have a sword and i recommend using overshields, just incase you slip. To execute the Sword cancel, wait til the reticle goes red and lunge like your going to kill the person. Right when you hit the right trigger, immediately hit the x button to cancel the attack. It will send you flying into the person or past them, depending on how they are moving or your moving.
You can use this technique if you want to get to higher places you cant reach or get through the level. For example, you can use this technique on a certain part of Turf and getthrough the level. Or on burial mounds, you can use it to get close to the stairway of heavon.
