I realized that after I posted this. The gameplay just gives that co-op feel, I should be use to the single aspect considering I played the XIII saga (although LR you only played Light)
I know how to cancel into backturned from bko. But it's like a weird glitch where she instantly cancels into back turned as soon as you go into bko. I think shes only given a few from to do it.
I hope they don't bring back that jaycee bs. I liked Julia using her mothers original style. She's one of the most solid characters in Tekken, very beginner friendly imo.
