Safe Jump

A Safe Jump is a meaty jump-in that is commonly used to beat reversal attacks like Sol's Volcanic Viper or Ragna's Inferno Divider. Safe Jumps take advantage of the fact that you can cancel the recovery of a jumping attack by landing and immediately block afterwards.

Example

Safe Jump, Opponent Blocks

• SafeJump2.png

Safe jumps are sensitive to timing and
