MS rounds against the player in all cases, meaning decrease player damage, increase monster damage. However, damage is capped to the [1,99999] range which means any damage below 1 is normally rounded to 1.
I believe it's been shown that it rounds skill damage after the skill multipliers are added to the base, but before "special skill" effects that vary by monster (Slashblast FA, Iron Arrow, Pierce). In this case, if it is rounded to 1 before these multipliers are applied, and then drops below 1, it will miss.
