Step Dashing? is this intended for footsies?

Kind of odd mechanic I've been messing with the past hour or so. In mk9 when you first started moving there was this tiny bit of a "speed up" period, especially when changing direction. I'm MKX, it's exactly the opposite, when you first press a direction you speed up, you get this kind of....half dash. I dunno what to call it. Seems like kitanas is the fastest both back and forwards. Just try it out! I'm at work so I can't post a video or anything.

Also, you can space your inputs and do it repeatedly, returning to neutral seems to let you get the boost again.
