This section contains definitions of terms that are commonly used in gameplay discussions.

• Level 3 - nickname for a super move, unique to each character, that requires 3 super stocks and a unified A+B+C command (in most cases) to perform.

• Normals - same as Normal Attacks, the least damaging attacks in player's posession, usually deal no chip damage, so the guard FX is blue.

• Tick Damage - same as Chip or Guard Damage.

• Tick Throw - a maneuver used to throw an opponent immediately after their hit stun or block stun has ended.
