Wind Dash (Hayate-Gake)

I wanted to edit this post to show my notes on Wind Dash from various moves and whatnot this weekend when I get home. However, I was hoping to perhaps start a conversation early.

Something else that would be nice to get group test on is at what frames the Wind Dash crushes most mids. I believe my setup in training was Kasumi to block then mid punch, then I would 4P~ into Wind Dash and watch her whiff. 4P becomes really risky if blocked, because despite the many follow-ups, they can be grouped into a dumbed down low risk situation for the enemy.

It ducks so many mids I've noticed. It's also very good to retreat with during an enemy's slower strings/freecancels. Sidestep P can sometimes be counter-hit because of the timing of their string, but dashing away gives you options and plenty of time to choose to cancel if needed (which still leaves you space). You've probably noticed these things.
