*j. C: excellent priority straight in front of him. good for air to airs and also works as a jumpin normal.
*j. D: Andys main jumpin normal. long range and has good priority in front of him and a little bit below him so it works both as a air to air and jumpin.
* Neutral j. D: almost exactly the same as j.D but it has slightly less forwards priortiy and andy does a different pose.
