Read guide: Added theLiteralWorst’s v1.2 example of creating distance after a boss commits to an attack, while separating the positioning advice from invulnerability or guaranteed avoidance. Added questions covering “Can I correct Slide’s direction during the movement?” and “How does the v1.2 player example use a boss’s committed attack?”. The answers clarify the relevant choice while preserving the stated conditions, distinctions and attribution to the original sources.
