Haha. Fair enough.

Backdashes are good in ki. But you also have to remember if you’re fighting a character who’s really good at blowing them up. (thunder, rash, raam etc) than you have some characters who’s backdashes suck.
I think in general backdashes that have shorter range are less effective in KI because all backdashes have the same frame of invincibility (added with 4 more frames for throws)
It really depends on the match-up for me. Jago doesn’t have a bad backdash by any means, but it does feel stubby. If I backdash, it will typically be during my endokukens, to bait the shadow or maintain a healthy range. I don’t much need it in corner situations as I have a no-nonsense DP. I’ll rarely do it if I feel like my opponent is willing to trade with me.
