- Tekken 6 Backdash Tier List
- Stage 1.
- Initial investigations
- Starting from Position Reset Position. Tested each character versus Paul's standing jab and his df+2. The intention being
- to test a high and a mid move, so that changes in stance wouldn't always affect a characters ranking.
- Results are as follows
- The number refers to how many frames Paul has to hold forwards, before he is in range to hit, which is a marker for how far
- back the opponent has backdashed from that initial position.

- Special note
- Eddy, Christie and Lei are very hard to determine, as stance plays a big role in whether a character is hit or not. With
- these characters jumping all over the place, consistent results were hard. I tried each time to start from as close to the
- initial animation frames as possible, and to err on the side of lower numbers where results were unreliable.
- If Eddy were on the chart, his ranking from the middle would be 27, when he backsteps from his right or left side it can be
- as high as 45. Christie's middle ranking is 26, when she backsteps from the sides it is up to 44 on the right and 43 on the
- left.
- Lei is 28 from the middle, and 29 on the left, 34 on the right.
- SO, all of these characters are right near the top of the rankings, exactly how high is hard to be definitive on.

- So the expected names near the top, even if the order isn't quite right.
- Stage 2.
- However, the next question then was, how much of this is a reflection of the bigs just being further forwards compared to
- the smaller characters? Could they be backdashing just as far, but with a handicap.
- The first way I looked at this was purely visual. Overlapping images of two-three characters gives a fairly good indication
- of how far they are moving. My personal feeling is that there is very little difference between the distances they travel
- looking at it this way.
- The setup was 6 backdashes 40 frames apart, done on frames 1-2 and 4-5 of each set, then J6 running after them and tackling
- them. J6 also presses f on F1 just to give a visual clue as to when the first input of the first backdash starts.

- Stage 3.
- Following on from the above, I wanted to find out what would happen when big characters backdash at the same distance from the opponent. Like was alluded to above, when you do position reset, the character's bases are the same distance apart, but the actually hittable distance is very variable. e.g. Jack6 can be hit by Paul's df+2 from the starting position, but smaller characters cannot.
- I tried to set up a way to put each character at the same distance, and then back dash.
- Step 1 involved holding back (big characters) or forwards (small characters) until they were at just the range where df+2 whiffs.
- For the records
- Bigs (hold back for N frames)
- J6 27F
- Marduk 35F
- Kuma 13F
- Smalls (hold forwards for N frames)
- Alisa 4F
- Lili 3F
- Asuka 3F
- After this, the same setup as before, backdash then see how many frames of holding forwards until Paul is in range to connect with df+2. The results conflicted with everything above.
- Asuka, Alisa 3F
- Lili 4F
- Jack6 23F
- Kuma 25F
- Marduk 28F
- So that's pretty much buggered it, and my enthusiasm for testing is done.
- To me, the visual data suggests that everyone backdashes about the same distance. The initial investigations are fairly useful, as they take into account character size and initial range.
- The last investigation I can't quite explain, however the setup does seem to be the most sound out of them all.
- Hmmmmm.
