Box Step Dash Speeds
There's a sometimes massive difference in box step speeds depending upon which direction your character is facing, something of which directly ties into the fact several characters can change thier direction-facing with 4B or other moves. Each character has a different animation that plays depending upon wether they dash in the direction thier model is facing or away, and this animation determines how quickly you can cancel the step into a forward or backdash. This is sometimes really noticeable: for example, Gerelt's sidestep to his back is always a twirl.
For the sake of simplicity, mirror characters have been excluded from this chart, as they share step data.
