This is a simplified guide to sidestep accordingly to each character
I used these two guides, and the user commentaries as reference https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/6h61hy/i_made_a_sidestepmovement_list_for_tekken_7/
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1263572733
The notes aren’t perfect, since I just gathered information and tried to fill with some personal experience, everyone is welcome to help to improve the guide
