Front-Backstaggering ?

I have a question that might have been mentioned in older threads but I can't find it.
I noticed that while I was fighting, I managed to backstaggered my opponent while he is fighting face to face with me.
I was wondering what sort of condition that would make them backstaggered in that way ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Certain attacks deliberately turn you around.

Ie:
Lion's "bb++K"
Lau's "bb+P"

A major counter when back turned will back stagger.
So you did a backstagger because you interupted the above moves.

But I noticed that there is sometimes no struggling (moving joystick) involved if you get a "frontal" backstagger.
It seems like the opponent cannot go anything about it.

 

That might be due to the Major Counter stagger condition.

If they were hit by a stagger move then they'd be able to struggle: ie:

Lei's "ff+K"
Jacky's "ff+K"

So a Major Counter with a mid attack when BT cause a non-strugglable stagger.

 

did the opponent end up facing backwards? Some moves stun the opponent and turn them around, like shun's stance b+P chop or jeffry's f,b+P.

Or are you saying they were stumbling towards you, just like a normal stagger but instead of moving away, they move closer? Remember who you were playing?

 

you may have interrupted a turn-away attack of his...
