Jumping Normals

j.5L the dumpy hit you the dumpy hit you	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 40 - - - - - - - - - Large rear hitbox. Key mixup tool. Allows for ambiguous setups on okizeme.

j.5H	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 80 - - - - - - - - - Ground bounces on hit. Vital combo tool for easy floor bounces. Not much use outside of combos, except for a select few scenarios like beating out j.G(1)

j.5K	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 174 - - - - - - - - - Strong approach tool Primary combo tool Highly punishable. Pressing j.4K will cause a shorter dash. Burst movement and offense with crossup potential, with the risk of eating huge combo damage if blocked. j.4K is usually preferred over j.K in combos.

j.5G

Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln 40, 150 (190) - - - - - - - - - Dominant Neutral tool. Recoils backward on shot. Good air to air with gun hitbox. One of your most important zoning tools. Allows you to chip and wall your opponent out while keeping you in relatively safe distance with the backwards recoil. Along with 5G, this move creates lengthy zoning wars that are difficult and tiring to come out on top of. Not unbeatable, though. Refer to the "zoning play" list for examples.

Counter K+G	Damage Startup Active Recovery On Hit On Block Guard Chip Property Invuln - - - - - - - - - - Instant knockdown Frame 1 counter. True reversal alongside 2K. Risky and easy to play around, but destroys meaty setups, lousy crossups and even works against far 5G/j.G, up to the tip of the muzzle flash.
