just wanted to document some funky tech of the olden DOA2LE (Dead or Alive 2 Limited Edition, the Fightcade one)
Normally, the developers discourage Backdashing in DOA by not letting you block during those. Not only that, they are also given an Hi Counter penalty against Strikes!
Well with some clever use of the unique Free Step button (which exists in *some* DOA2 editions) we can bypass the restrictions and Backdash FASTER & SAFELY.
In the open, the input is:
On the other hand, while blocking strings there's no timing involved, you just hold
Considering how safe it is, how big the stages are and how hard the developers tried to make Backdashing punishable, this strat is pretty busted imo, so do the right thing and ABUSE IT EXTENSIVELY

In the open, the input is:
[4][FS][FS][FS], in other words "hold Back forever while doing many long presses of FreeStep".On the other hand, while blocking strings there's no timing involved, you just hold
[4FS] once and the big step happens automatically every time your character comes out of blockstun. You can often get out of strings and tick throw setups "for free" with it.Considering how safe it is, how big the stages are and how hard the developers tried to make Backdashing punishable, this strat is pretty busted imo, so do the right thing and ABUSE IT EXTENSIVELY
