Strategy Baraka's Back Dash

[Red Son]

I was playing as Baraka recently and I noticed that he have the faster back dash in the entire game.
Everyone noticed that? It's to be seen how can that be used in his favor.

I took advantage of it all the time...backdash then charge.

that's good, but I can do it on reaction to avoid jump in punch and start my strings?

Wow, I suddenly have the urge to create a project that involves surveying TYMers about the top 5 back dashes.

Is it actually the fastest? Seem to have an easy time walking away from JIPs which opens up his 50/50 game as the opponent lands.

Foxy go do barakas back dash. Actually go do a dash forward, d4 into back dash. Watch the swing-back that this guy has. It's badass.

I back dash blade dash quite often, iv never noticed how far it takes you. some one make a dash and walking thread so we can know whos the best =D
I wonder how much it really matters in match ups, it could explain a shit ton of things, lol

yea backdash to charge is pretty sweet especially if that backdash puts you and the "safe" charge range
my other two fav things to do from the backdash is B4 as if its blocked your at +11,
the other is to eat up there advance with chop chop and link to D4~charge or D4~xray depending on the situation

i do backdash u3 the odd time to try bait things aswell

Kano's back dash is awesome to, i used it all the time and didn't even know how good it was.
Shangs back dash is the sadest thing to happen in america, but his walking speed seems to be really fast 0.o

it can work well for crossovers if timed right also
