Back turned (BT) is a generic stance entered when your back is towards the opponent. During BT it isn't possible to guard or do any normal moves. Sidestepping is less evasive and turns around. Jumping has normal behavior but it isn't possible to hop.
Crouch
You can crouch during BT by holding D to crush highs. However, doing so will never enter any crouching stances. The moves one can do from BT is the same regardless of how long you've been crouching for.
Generic BT moves
- BT.1_2 - 8f high, -8 / +3 / +3 15dmg
- BT.3_4 - 10f high, -8 / KND W! / KND W! 18dmg
- BT.d+1_2 - 10f special mid -2 / +9 / +9 10dmg
- BT.d+3_4 - 10f low, -11 / +3 / +3 12dmg
- BT.uf+4 - 15f mid, -11? / Launch / Launch
Turning around
- All attacks turn around immediately. The safest use of this is with throws, which aren't likely to eat a counter hit.
- 6[untested] frames to turn and block by holding forward - this lasts for 18[untested] frames until you have to again hold back to continue blocking.
- 7[untested] frames to turn and block with holding back
- 9[untested] frames to turn and block with db,B - this enters crouch state on frame 1 and thus high crushes.
