Why do I see some runners doing back-attacks after specials?

For instance I'll see Adam players dashing followed by a back-attack when nobody is there, or Axel (somehow?) dashing followed by a back-attack. Is there a reason for this?

Edit: For instance, just before 1:53 here, and a little bit after:

I'm trying these methods out, trying to replicate the first level just a little bit, and are we even playing the same game? I feel like I'm playing "Piggy in the middle" with super-saiyan signals who only wanna attack me if I don't have a combo going, and will be uncatachable otherwise.

Axel glitch to move forward with charge kick momentum by timing a back attack after landing charge attack. Adam will also back attack after landing a boot to trick the game into letting you do a 2nd boot faster (if you land a boot and try charge another without back attack it takes longer)

Oh I see, hm, curious, might try this out.
