How to do it?
Keep this in mind:
f=Forward
d=Down
b=Back
u=Up
n=Neutral(don't put in any commands for a split second)
Any command conjoined with a '/' is the mix of the two commands on it's either side.
E.g. d/f refers to the South-East direction.

Simply said, the Korean Backdash Cancel can be reduced to:
b, n, b, d/b, n, b and now you can repeat d/b, n, b forever.

Try it!
You couldn't do it?
"What? You couldn't do it even after knowing the exact commands?
You must be a total noob."

That words would be very routine if you can't do it.
But I shall tell you why you can't do it.

You can't do it because the commands aren't correct. Yes, they aren't correct.
They won't make you do the KBC('K'orean 'B'ackdash 'C'ancel) or any of the back-dash cancels(BDC).
Why are they wrong?
Say this out loud:
"A back-dash will only be executed when there are two consecutive b commands in the command history"

Repeat with me

"A back-dash will only be executed when there are two consecutive b commands in the command history"

(Command history is just a sleek little tool that shows whatever you input during practice mode. Try finding this tool in the practice pause menu)

You can quote me on that. There is absolutely no other way you can perform a back-dash without pushing b twice(assuming you are on a D-pad).

So by this logic, there should NOT be a second back-dash executed as soon as you press b only once after the first back-dash cancel(Back-dash cancel= b, n, b, X; where X is any movement button).

But the pro-players claim to do it, nevertheless it is impossible.

How?

Because the real command is something else.
The real deal
There are two correct ways.

However, one method is clearer, but the other one does no harm.
I shall replace all commas with vertical bars like this--> '|'. It makes the text look more friendly to the eyes.

First, the clearer one is:-

b | b | n | { d/b | b } | b and now repeat b | d/b | b till your fingers die, well if you want them to.

You see that b command in bold formatting? Yes, that's the correction that everyone is missing out on. You will also see two squiggly brackets in there. Those just mean that the commands inside those squiggly brackets is to be done as fast as you can but NOT at the same time.

Secondly, the easier version but a bit messy is this one:-

b | b | { b | d/b | b } and now repeat the entire command excluding the first two b inputs.

The extra b command inside the square brackets is often an input mistake. You can afford to do it like this because it does no harm.

Do you see why this will work?

The correct version has two pairs of two consecutive b commands. Thus, the rule that I taught you in the previous section works here to facilitate this trick. That's why you get two back-dashes in a row without delay.

So do you see why this is often misrepresented?

If you didn't notice, what happening here is that the advanced players don't input just d/b and then input a single b (after a BDC) to double back-dash quickly, they are actually doing any one of the two correct versions as an input mistake.

It's not really a mistake because they are still doing what they intended to do, but it should help all the newcomers out there or even people who never knew about this.

This all shit

I'm literally doing Back, Neutral, Back, X (any input in my version i am doing Down), Back, Back Down and the character will not back dash just walk backwards [Backdash cancel to Back dash]. I don't understand. b, n, b, X + { b | d/b }

imagine not just mashing d+b to slide backwards

>the game buffers a back input already
That's still entering a back input. Just because you claim you're not inputting it doesn't change the fact that the KBD inputs people (including you) say are wrong. Assuming people are going to omit part of the inputs because in your mind the game supplies them for you doesn't help anyone who doesn't already know that you're lying about the inputs, because they're going to use the game adding inputs to try to enter the input string they've been told to enter. Most KBD misinfo (like TJU misinfo) just comes down to stick players having insanely sloppy execution and assuming that better stick players don't also have sloppy execution, when infact everyone has shit execution at every level (as demonstrated by nobody doing macro electric kazuya combos, regardless of device).

You can, in fact, do a backdash without pushing b twice. Tekken automatically puts a b in the command history when you go to neutral from d/b. Worrying about hitting that first b is unnecessary since Tekken automatically recognizes it being input when you go to neutral, you only need to worry about doing a single b and it'll recognize it as backdash input.

@Snaggleup I saw that method of kbd. However, I find it to be the same thing. The last b of the b,db,b and the first b of the next in series of b,db,b are that two consecutive b inputs that I was talking about about. You are still doing two b inputs to get a backdash, instead this time you are spacing them out by a n. The Wavedash situation is different indeed.

what is being described here is just a backdash cancel to a backdash not a kbd
