Backdash Cancelling is no longer required to Backdash into Block.

From the video description:

In previous games, letting go of the second back in a backdash would prevent you from blocking unless you cancelled the backdash. Now it seems that no longer applies.

In other words, this makes back-dashing for creating space and blocking in reaction to an opponent's attack much easier to defend against now that you don't have to cancel the back dash with a crouch. Thanks goes to Bloodhawk for the finding, check out the video he put up on this below.

Tekken 7 - Nina Ivory Cutter Infinite Combo Discovered

That was pretty fast! YOU from KYSG got access to console Tekken 7 at the Tekken Bar event in Japan and already managed to find an infinite combo with Nina at the wall. This I presume is only on Kuma but might be for other big characters. It should go without saying that it is pretty early with the game still actually not being released yet so expect a patch to fix this in the near future. You can check out the infinite video below then go e-mail Harada.
