What Is a Backward Recovery in Street Fighter 6?

Essentially, to do a Backward Recovery in Street Fighter 6, you’re going to need to press two attack buttons at the same time as you hit the ground. In other words, after you receive a blow from an opponent, press two attack buttons – like, say, a light punch and a light kick – at the same time as you land on the floor. Like many of the other moves in the game, however, timing is absolutely key.

When you get the timing right, you’ll pull off a Backward Recovery, which results in your character bouncing back up, straight to their feet in an acrobatic way, instead of slowly getting back up from a prone position. In essence, this is a nice defensive manoeuver that gets you back in the fight quickly so you can start dealing damage to your adversary as soon as possible.
