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. This is how safe jumps get their name: these jump-ins are safe against reversals.

Example

Safe Jump versus Reversal Vapor Thrust
Safe Jump versus Blocking

Timing

Safe jumps are sensitive to timing; do it too early and your attack will miss the opponent completely, do it too late and the opponent can successfully hit you out of your attack. Naturally, that means faster reversals like Sol's Volcanic Viper and Chipp's Beta Blade are harder to safe jump compared to slower ones like Ky's Vapor Thrust and Axl's Artemis Hunter.

Moves that are active on frame 1 are also a way to defeat safe jumps since there's no time for you to land and block/evade. Examples of this include Blitz Shield in Guilty Gear XRD and Hakumen's Yukikaze in BlazBlue.
