Another thing you might want to add in there would be the Kara Throw… It was a lot more popular in 3s, however it still is there in SF4 specifically Ken can do his Kara Throw with mk->lk+lp
See Kara Cancel. It’s not just for throwing :tup:
A couple random ones I thought of:
SJC
Vortex, which could be included with untechable kd
Air control
Spacing
Ground game
Reverse OCV
~
UOH
BnB
FFF
SA1/2/3
Absolute/Free guard
Hit pause
Juggle
ToD combo
Cancels, Chains, Chain/Renda/CPS1 cancels
Counter hit
Kumite, Gachi
This is more of a nitpick than anything, but CC (custom combo) originated in Alpha 2, not Alpha 3’s V-ISM.
Also:
Priority: Determines whether an attack will beat, lose, or trade with another attack upon collision.
Trade: Both players get hit with each other’s attacks upon collision.
Hitbox: The area/range of an attack or a character’s body (which is sometimes called “hurtbox”). Example: [media=youtube]daMh2pCo1FI[/media] (blue encompasses the area where the character can get hit and damaged by an attack. Red is for attacks).
Air to Air: An aerial move commonly used to beat the opponent’s aerial moves.
Block String: A series of attacks that force the opponent to stay in blocking position. Used mainly for limiting their options, baiting responses, pushing them to the corner, etc.
I’ve never heard the term “proration.” That’s commonly referred to as damage scaling.
^ Might be worth noting that priority does not actually exist in game as a value or anything, it is merely a blanket term used to describe speed and hitboxes
Quoting myself because i feel numeric notation is very important.
I’ve always thought of priority as a a term that gives an idea as to what moves will generally win. It’s no secret that if you throw out 2 different moves, assuming the conditions are always the same, the result should be the same as well. Stronger moves (in general, but not always) tend to win out more often due to the hitbox placement. Whether or not there’s an actual number value on the programmed level that plays a part is not something I’m aware of. Could even be dependent on the game itself, but that’s another bag of money.
I don’t know of any games other than Guilty Gear that have it (does BB?), but you could put in a definition for Jump Install.
(http://www.dustloop.com/ggac/tech/ji.html)
I’d also throw in the shorthand for GG/BB/TvC/etc.
Fantastic glossary. This is going to be extremely helpful to beginners.
Pretty 100% that jump-install is only specific to Guilty Gear. Like charge-partition is to 3s.
BB doesn’t have jump-install. OR, you can say that BB auto-jump-installs everything you do; actually you probably shouldn’t.
JI also exists in Hokuto no Ken.
Everything this guy said.
Chicken Wing - Another name for Fei Long’s Dragon Arc Kick
Unblockable
Push Block
Glitch
Advanced Hyper Viper Beam (AHVB)
Reset
Money Match (MM)
Just Defend
Ranking Battle (RanBat) - I see the question of what’s a ranbat all the time
Crosshand(ed) - Playing on an arcade stick with your hands in a reversed position. Right hand is controlling the joystick and the left hand is pushing the buttons, this causes your arms to cross. Seth Killian is the only person I can think of that uses this method successfully.

Great job guys! I have a couple notes if that is okay:
-The definition of pushblock you have is correct. You wanted that confirmed. You may want to add the it negates chip damage for a short time, and leaves the user vulnerable if used in the air.
-AVHB actually stands for “Air Hyper Viper Beam”. The startup and especially recovery times of the HVB change drastically if its used in the air. It has nothing to do with whether or not you tiger knee the motion, or any other advanced method.
-SF4 Sagat’s overhead is toward+fierce, not toward+jab.
Thanks!
My bad this would be correct. Air Hyper Viper Beam.
A few things:
When a just defend is performed a small amount of life is gained.
Also for reset, it is more for resetting the damage scale.

In the Games section you should also add the following…

Roll Cancel (RC)
How did we all miss this term? I guess you can add the word Roll too since that is also a basic term.
Also the bold around Trade is messed up its missing the /
-DJ-
Perhaps when you guys add terms, you could also provide the definition. The OP shouldnt be fully responsible.
Yeah, especially since I don’t really know what some of these things are. I think I got RCing right, maybe not though.
