Bruce, from his lunge position, brought his back leg forward and leaned backward with his shoulders tucked so he rolled. He only caught a glimpse of the notched Ki being thrown his way as he went down, the edge grazing the fabric of his robe. Keeping his knees tucked to avoid doing a full backward somersault and give Nexus an easy strike to his lower extremities, Bruce shifted his weight onto his right side, aiding his change in direction by circling his left shoulder around to push the spiked ball against the floor.

Narrowly avoiding the dual sword strikes, his feet touched ground again roughly 90 degrees to Nexus' left, immediately following with an upward slash of his blade, putting the strength of his legs into the strike as he stood up.
