What are some of the benefits and cons of both?

Walking ? Is that even possible in this game ?

Walking is to maintain a distance that is advantageous for your character. You walk back and forth to try and trick your opponent into whiffing attacks or if you're playing a character with more range on your normals you try to stay at the distance where your normals have priority.

Dashing is just a quicker way to get in and can be cancelled with block so the idea is to use both of these together to advance while stopping projectiles as you close distance.

It's a shame that Zombie Mode (666-666) doesn't disable dashing and reduce walking speed...

Dash to get somewhere, walk to fuck with your opponent and play the range/footsie game.

I did notice JOP doing a bunch of walking with his Cage at EVO.
