Dealing with Backdash

So some people might know this already but backdashing is very strong against eileen because many of her attacks will whiff. What is of particular trouble is when you block someones 2P and they backdash. It's a problem because you lose in a situation where you are +5. It's very annoying and you need to know what moves are able to catch folks. We all know about 3K, but you don't want to always use 3K for various reasons I'm not going into here. So here's a list of moves you can use to stop this annoying tactic (all moves tested against eileen mirror. The tactics work against all the cast, it's just easiest to test using her) :
