It’s alright, her back dash does seem unnecessarily long. The actual dash part is pretty quick, but then she sits for ages in the one spot, but if they made that better people would complain she’s OP…wait, some still do anyway. 
I’m not using it as much lately, and if I get hit by the opponent who did something to counter back dash I take it as me being too predictable.
Also you give up part of your momentum. Also it’s dangerous when the opponent is pressing you. I think the most advanced and advantageous thing anyone can do (you’ll see this a lot at tournaments…A LOT in Japan) is BLOCKING. Seriously. Just sit there and block sometimes. Not all the time. But seriously see how well down back can help anyone’s game. It pays to be patient. And wait for your opponent to make mistakes. And uh, the will make mistakes if they’re constantly hitting buttons (happens a lot in America!)
Hey, mah names GE, I had a no-blocking prahblem. Den I tried dem basics and blocking and it turn mah win-loss ratio 'round. Seriously, it works…
Did the video tutorial for this ever turn into anything? If not, I’ve just got some recording equipment so I wouldn’t mind taking a stab.
Doesn’t look like anything ever came of it. I’d love to see a video guide made (although at this point it’d probably be worth waiting for v.2013) if anyone out there has the desire to make this thing happen. I think it’d make an awesome companion to the printed Rindokan Bible y’all have put together.
The information here has been really helpful!
Thanks to everyone who posted something that’s of use.
