Help How to perform this attack of Vanessa?

Not sure if I can ask this here, but basically, most modern Yakuza games have VF5 as a minigame, and one of its related achievements is to clear all stages, which also includes the fight against V-Dural.

Some guides suggested that Vanessa is the best pick for this due to her opponents mostly taking her Back-Kick-Kick attack, but I'm not sure how to execute it.

In case you need a reference, I'm playing on PS4, with the Yakuza games I know having VF5 being Judge Eyes, Lost Judgment and Yakuza 7.

Vanessa doesn't have a back+K,K string so not sure exactly what the guide is asking for. She has a back+K in offensive stance (Vanessa has two stances, defensive & offensive, you can manually swap stance with P+K+G and some moves swap), and she can press forward to go into Intruder step which has a K follow-up, that might be what they mean? So, swap stance (you can swap before the round actually starts, and you know you're in offensive if she's crouched forward a little) and then back+K, forward, K?

If I was gonna cheese a CPU with Vanessa I'd probably just spam back,back+K+G which is a chargeable step kick with good reach. That might give you some easy success.

This is where I got the hint from. This also applies to all other Yakuza games which have VF5 as a minigame you can play.

If I had to guess, the person meant K>K, not back K>K. Defensive stance K>K is a known scrub killer as it is a mid>ex-high with lots of push back. The CPU will probably either get hit or block it and get pushed back. It has okay range, so you can also risk throwing it out at range (against the CPU, that is).
