Knockdown

When knocked down you have 3 options:

• Do nothing to stay remaining on the ground. You can stay on the ground indefinitely. While you can still be struck while in this state, you can also do any of the other two actions listed below afterward at any point.
• Input a direction to stand up. This is the safest option since you are invincible for the entire get up animation and can block immediately after. If you want to attempt a traditional reversal, stand up and then input your reversal. While there is a standing animation, you cannot perform standing only setups like instant overheads if the opponent crouches on wakeup(?).
• Input a button to do a get up/wakeup attack. This is the riskiest option since the attack is quite punishable if blocked (-20). Unlike other traditional reversals, this attack will merely reset both characters to neutral on hit rather than cause a knockdown.
