Canceling swift recoil that hardly gets use with an aggressive lunging kick that drains targets stamina aggressively and if they run out after the kick they are knocked down, the alternative could be sending the enemy really far after the swift recoil kick and granting extra stun when they hit a wall. Maybe give swift recoil a reentry heavy since shinobi basically took all that was special about nobushi and trippled it. (Versatile retreats and superior range) but that reentry heavy could look a bit like a sprinting sideswipe. Not pressed about the last buff idea but a deflect and swift recoil options would make her tool belt a bit more interesting
See, they could do these things, but it wouldn't really make her much better than she is right now. You'd merely add more defense tools to a hero that's allready amazing at defending. The Nobushi needs some kind of initiation tool to be viable, cause the lack of offensive capabilities is why she sucks at the moment. If your enemy doesn't attack you, you don't have anything to work with as a result.
