Gotta agree with IAdoreBunnies here, Cervy does have the most retarded backstep. He can get away with backstepping in such negative frames, it's almost funny. (though I do play as Cervantes for fun, so I'm not complaining!)
Amazing. I just ran a test on his backstep against Raph, and it appears that he is the only character with a guaranteed backstep right after getting poked by 2K. He's able to dodge every followup move.
See bunnie? I told you cervys dreaded Backstep is feared. As a sieg player imo it completely destroys the MU by how abusable it is. And i am sure that goes for a lot of other chars too.
I don't fully understand what makes his backstep so amazing either. It just feels so safe. Maybe it's just the distance covered, but it somehow feels as though it comes out quicker than other backsteps. Cervy has OP everything, it's great.
I've measured his distance. It's good. But Aeon, Nightmare, and Ivy have steps that cover a greater distance. He's one step under them in distance. But this doesn't make their step better than his, of course.
Well he can when played at mid range. I genuinely had no idea quite how bad Cervy's spacing can screw Sieg over until our matches though. Fuck your giant sword, I can practically teleport with my backstep.
