Slan's face mask vs diag slash

[ultra]

so.. Slan's face mask should stop the diagonal slashes as the slashes are upper attacks (as well as middle and lower)?

just checking.

Unless specifically named, whenever attacks are referenced by upper or lower etc etc it refers to any attack that covers that grid. This is why many attacks that cover an upper grid say they cannot be Power Blows so that they cannot be made Head Shots.

So to answer your question - Face Mask works against Slash or other attacks that at least partially cover an upper grid
