attack types:
high attacks: an attack that your opponent can duck under or block either low or high.
mid attacks: an overhead basically, you must be blocking high not to get hit, if you block low or duck you will be hit, safe mids are very good in this game.
low attacks: an a attack you must block low to avoid, most of these are pokes and trips but some are launchers like kung laos back 3 in weapon stance. Safe lows are also very good in this game.
throws: throws are grabs you cannot block or tech, these have to be ducked in order to avoid, throws are incredible in this game as there are many strings/specials that are so plus on hit that it guarantees a throw. Some throws launch and some don't throw quality varies on which character you play but all are worth using.
air combos: if you launch the opponent and do a series of air normals, these are insanely broken and are usually limited to one rep (of the infinites) or banned all together.
safe: move is safe if opponent blocks it
unsafe: opponent can punish if they block it
parryable: attacks you can parry
unparryable: attacks you cant parry
breakable: your opponent can use on of their 3 breakers to stop your combo
unbreakable: your opponent can't use their breakers to get out --Mike manners11 (talk) 04:47, 7 October 2020 (MSK)
techniques:
step blocking: Hold up and press block and then release to sidestep faster, it's that simple.
parry cancel: If you parry and press a button before the parry comes out your move will have increased range, this can lead to characters having better footsie tools and higher damage combos.
air infinites: If you do a style change during an air combo at the right time for the right character and mash 4 (for most characters), you should fall before your opponent and you can go for another air combo, loop it for an infinite. This technique is banned almost across the board but there are some communities cool with it.
guaranteed throws: some move were so "plus" on hit that it would leave into a free grab.
air breaker ground pound: use a ground pound move after an air breaker for free damage.
fatality stalling: If you want to be a jerk you can spam position changes during the finisher to waste everyone's time.
teleporting: your opponent takes a while to turn around in this game so teleports are great.
