Tech Stepping
4 1 Step
4 1 Step is a useful tool to get away from your opponent while alternating between crouching and standing, actively fuzzy guarding if cancelled with guard. It can be done by moving your lever back and forth between 4 and 1, hence the term "4 1 step".

- 41 step can be used as an extension to back-dash to get extra range.
- It can be used as a fuzzy guarding tool in neutral or small disadvantage.

Crouch Dash is the most important movement option to learn. This cancels every type of movement option available, except crouch dash itself. Crouch dash can be inputted with 323_ or 33_. 323_ is recommended, as it is much easier.
If you repeatedly alternate your stick between 3 and 2, and subsequently press evade repeatedly in between crouch dashes, you will automatically cancel your evade into another evade. This is a useful neutral tool but is vulnerable to dash up throws, which is why you should use it wisely.
