Master the Back Sway Stance (b+3_4_(3+4)) in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Learn the moves, inputs, and strategies to effectively utilize this stance in combat.

The Back Sway Stance is a unique defensive and offensive maneuver available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. This guide will detail the inputs and applications of the Back Sway Stance, specifically focusing on the b+3_4_(3+4) sequence.

Explanation:

The Back Sway Stance (often abbreviated as b+3+4) is initiated by pressing back and then the two punch buttons simultaneously. From this stance, you have several options:

• b+3_4_(3+4): This is the primary offensive string. After entering the stance, pressing 3 initiates the first part of the string. If this hits or is blocked, you can follow up with another 4 to continue the pressure. The notation (3+4) implies that the 3 and 4 can be pressed together for a different effect or as a tag assault starter.
• Canceling the Stance: To exit the stance without attacking, you can press down (d) or back (b). This is crucial for defensive repositioning or baiting out an opponent's reaction.

Strategy:

The Back Sway Stance is excellent for evading linear attacks and creating openings. The 3 and 4 follow-ups can be used to punish predictable approaches or to extend pressure. Mastering the timing of the follow-ups and the ability to cancel the stance are key to using it effectively. Be mindful of characters with strong low attacks or grabs that can counter the defensive nature of the stance.
