Safejumps

Definition and example of a safejump.

Reversals range from 4f startup at the fastest upward of 10f. If a safejump beats 4f reversals, it will also work against slower reversals.

Combo Enders

• 214C:
  • ... > 623C~AB, 214C, 214A (whiff), Hyper Hop, h.D (6f Safejump)
  • ... > 623C~AB, 214C, Roll, Hop, h.D (4f Safejump)
    • Should be noted that this safejump does work midscreen, however it leaves you outside of the range to combo c.C or c.D into 6B. Instead h.D, f.B > 6A connects.
  • 632146A/C~AB, 214C, 214C (whiff), Hyper Hop, h.D (5f Safejump)
• LVl 1 Shining Knuckle (236236B/D):
  • ... > 623C~AB, 214C > 236236B/D, Forward Jump, (land) Hop, h.D (5f Safejump)

Meaty 236A

• Timing a 236A to hit the opponent as they're getting up is a good way to get back in and pressure the opponent.
  • Use 236A after:
    • A Raw 214C
    • A midscreen C throw
    • A midscreen D throw
    • A spaced, midscreen 2D (both when hit raw and in combos) can give you a meaty 236A, making it a solid if potentially punishable autopilot option.

After C Throw

• 214C (whiff), Hyper Hop, h.D (6f Safejump)

After Corner C Throw

• 214A (whiff), Hop, h.D (4f Safejump)

After D Throw

• Forward Jump, j.D (5f Safejump)
  • Should be noted that this safejump does work midscreen, however it leaves you outside of the range to combo c.C or c.D into 6B. Instead h.D, f.B > 6A connects.

After 236D

• Jump, j.D (5f Safejump)

After Corner 236B

• Hyper Jump, j.D (5f Safejump)

After Raw Supers

• Lvl 1 and lvl 2 Raging Storm (236236A/C and 236236AC) have an awkward amount of frame advantage, making an auto-timed safejump difficult to find.
  • Raw 236236B/D, 214A (Whiff), Hop, h.D (5f Safejump)
