Project Justice shares many common traits found among other Capcom titles of its era, as well as many other fighting games in general, but this glossary aims to assist even the newest of players who may even be jumping into Project Justice as their first fighting game. For this reason, not every definition or piece of vocabulary listed may be exclusive to Project Justice, but any attributes or explanations given for each term do apply to this specific game as it's described. This glossary is used alongside other parts of the PJ Wiki- namely Combo lists and Frame data, so it may be more useful to view the dropdown versions there while you look into the relevant information on the same page!
