= Basic Movement =
If you've ever played a Fighting Game before, just skip this page, trust me.  But this will be brief in case you read it anyhow.  The three basic movement options that are given to a character in almost every fighting game created are the ability to Walk forward or backwards (by hitting Towards or Back), to Crouch (by hitting any of the three Down positions on the joystick), or to Jump in any of three directions (Up for a straight up Jump, Back Flip to jump backwards, or Forward Flip to jump forward).  These are the three absolute most basic actions given to a character.
<br><br>
== Walk Speed Comparison ==
Of course, every character walks with different speeds in the game.  Below are the movement speeds for each character in USF4 for both walking forward and walking backwards.  The numbers below are internal distances used by the game, in distance per frame.  The movement per frame is fixed, so there is no acceleration, although characters must walk forward for at least two frames before any distance is covered (i.e. walking for one frame does not actually move the character).
<br><br>
Below are the speeds for every character.  As a reference, the stage is 15.0 units wide, and the characters start 3.0 units apart at the beginning of the round.

= Forward Dashing =
Forward Dashing is mostly useful for positioning, surprise attacks, and just to traverse distances more quickly than walking.  During a Forward Dash, all characters are considered grounded.  That means all moves that connect against you while Dashing will keep you on the ground so you can be comboed and easily punished.

= Back Dashing =
Back Dashing is a very defensive maneuver thanks to the inclusion of invincibility frames in everyone's Back Dashes.  Though the number of invincible frames generally only number around 8, it's still enough to be useful to escape a lot of situations and attacks, as every Back Dash is invincible starting from the very first frame.  Not only that, but the first few vulnerable frames after a Back Dash for the majority of the characters are considered airborne, so even if you get hit out of the first few vulnerable frames, you'll be popped into the air so it's much harder to punish with combos.
<br><br>
However, even though you are considered airborne during those frames, you can still be hit by moves that normally miss against airborne opponents.  If someone Sweeps you with Ryu's Crouching Hard Kick, for example, as you are in your airborne frames, you'll still be hit and get sent to the floor as usual.
<br><br>
After those airborne frames run out, you will have some vulnerable frames where you are grounded, so if the opponent times it properly and hits you at the tail end of your Back Dash, they can hit you on the ground and execute a full grounded punish combo.

==== Extra Note ====
Characters listed in order of the quality of their Back Dash.  The criteria by which "Back Dash Quality" is based are:

# The less number of frames you have total, the better.
# The more number of invincible frames you have, the better.
# The less number of grounded frames you have, the better.

The dash data is the total duration in frames.  FA 1 and FA 2 represent the frame advantage after a level 1 and a blocked level 2 focus attack, respectively, when canceled into a forward dash.


'''What does [-X] mean?''' <br>
Certain characters can actually cancel the end of their forward or backward dash recovery with special moves, supers, ultras, and focus attacks by [X] frames.  So for example, Yun's backdash is normally 27 frames total, but if he buffers an ultra before the end of his backdash, the backdash will end on frame 23, and the ultra will start animating on frame 24.
<br><br>
In the case of E.Honda and T.Hawk, buffering a reversal will actually ''lengthen'' their backdash recovery.  So if T.Hawk buffers a Mexican Typhoon at the end of his backdash, it will start animating on frame 30 instead of frame 27, and he will not be able to block during the extra recovery frames.


<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gen's FA 1 frame advantage differs on hit/block.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>Hakan only has 4 pre-jump frames when he jumps forward, but has 5 otherwise.
