Mystic Stare Mystic Smash* - For whatever reasons, the three (B Variable Assist & B/Y assist Variable Counters) versions of Mystic Smash actually go farther and higher than the LK version, but also go less far and less high than the HK version. The damage however for all three is identical to the normal point-character versions.

MikeZ Unblockable Setup
Once Shuma's eyes from Mystic Stare stick to the opponent, they will detonate once he leaves the screen such as via a DHC, tag out, or Alpha counter. For example once an eye is glued to the opponent you can Hyper Mystic Smash and then DHC to your super of choice, like Proton Cannon. The eyes will blow up during the DHC rendering the super you DHC'd into unblockable. The Proton Cannon will connect. MikeZ's Shuma Gorath video showcasing this.
