How to Perform a Step-Back Jumper Using R2 and the Right Stick?

To execute a step-back jumper, you want to hold R2 and pull the right stick in any direction. The direction in which you pull the right stick will determine the direction of your step-back jumper. So, for example, if you hold R2 and hold the right stick down will give you a step back. Holding R2 and the right stick to the right will give you a side step to the right. If you hold R2 and hold the right stick up will give you a step-back jumper moving forward.

 

Mastering the Step-Back Jumper: Setting Up Your Defender for Success

Once you've mastered the basics of executing a step-back jumper, learning how to set up your defender properly is the next step. You want to use your defender's momentum against them by creating combos that will get your defender to lean back or move backwards and then counter quickly with a step-back jumper to create open space. You can use your different iso moves, crossovers, and momentum launches to create misdirection and set up momentum traps.

 

How to Use Step-Back Jumpers to Increase Distance and Velocity?

Another way to create more distance or speed with your step-back jumpers is to combine them with moves that generate momentum. For example, you can combine a moving crossover with a fast step-back or use an attacking hesitation to set up a step-back. Timing is key when using step-back jumpers, so make sure you commit early to execute the step-back jumper and get a hard-stop step-back.
