Movement is paramount in Tekken 7. The Hit Box is made for precision. And this is why the Hit Box is the best controller for the game - precise movement.
In this post, we will overview the many ways to backdash-cancel - Korean Back Dash (KBD) - in Tekken 7 on Hit Box.
- Play the GIF videos with sound.
- Slow the video speed to slow motion. (PC Only)
- Watch the fingers frame-by-frame by pausing the video and clicking 'Step Forward' (PC Only)
- Mobile: If the videos are slowing framerate the further you scroll down, be sure to pause each GIF after you watch it to save ram: Tap speaker icon, then tap the video to start/stop.
Simple Method KBD










Standard KBD (No Back Sway)
Player 1 Side
This is the original way to Korean Backdash on Hit Box, also known as the SOCD Backdash, because it uses Left + Right simultaneously. This way is much faster than tapping out "Back, Back, Down" over and over, and by holding Back you constantly block mid attacks while dashing.
Back (hold)
Down (tap & release)
Forward (tap & release)
Be sure to tap Down and then Forward individually. If you roll your fingers or press Down and Forward together at any point the dash will not come out. Make sure you tap one button at a time.
Player 2 Side
Down (tap & release)
Forward (tap & release)
Standard KBD (Reach - P2 only)
Down (tap) (left hand)
Forward (tap) (left hand)
Right hand:
Left hand:
Jump KBD
Player 1 Side
Back (hold)
Jump (tap & release)
Forward (tap & release)
This is the fastest way to Korean Backdash. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. This requires your right hand to tap the Jump (Up) button.
2. You have to be quickly on and off the Jump and Forward buttons or else you will accidentally jump. Be very quick and crisp on your tap inputs.
3. This does not work with the entire cast. Approx 1/3 of the characters, such as Nina and Alisa, perform a backflip instead and cannot cancel it into a dash. For these characters, please see the Standard KBD (no backsway) above and the Jump reach method below.
