Okizeme (often shortened to oki) is a Japanese fighting game term (起き攻め) that refers to attacking an opponent while they are rising after getting knocked down.

Okizeme (起き攻め) is a term borrowed from the Japanese fighting game community which stems from the words oki (起き) meaning "to get up" and zeme (攻め) meaning "attack".


The primary trait all okizeme options share is that the opponent is in a state where they can not retaliate, allowing you to do slower, more rewarding attacks while minimizing risk. In games like [[:Category: Guilty Gear|Guilty Gear]], nearly all characters have strong oki options and players should be attempting to creating as many oki situations a possible - mostly by ending combos with moves that knock down the opponent.
