can we get some forward movement on everyone's attacks please. I'm so sick of getting a gb having an enemy dead to rights and bam, an attack animation that has the character moving backwards and I will wiff. Please fix this.

You need to be aware of your pressing back movement on habit or accident with your left thumb.

I used to do this all the time and I'm pretty sure it was just a consequence of playing Highlander so much and having to backwards attack so frequently to get into quick OF. So on other characters I think my thumb might have been slightly and unintentionally twitching backwards on any given attack, hence starting to register as backwalking and causing a whiff attack.

Just be more aware of that and it'll go away with practice.

They should just remove it all together really. It's more annoying and doesn't add anything. I understand that highlander may need it at the moment, but that's an issue with highlander needing some tweaks not back swinging itself.

I think there is already way too much forward movement on attacks as is, it has become very hard to try to take advantage of spacing because of that.
