The simplest oki which can be used off nearly any knockdown. Involves using grounded meaty attacks to hit the opponent after their wake-up or start ground pressure. Can be used outside throw range, or within throw range in conjunction with throw baits (see Wake-up Throw Baits/Punishes).

Pros/Cons:

+ Basic and easy to execute.

+ Does not require any Tension.

+ Usable after practically any knockdown, including abnormal ones where stronger options may not be.

+ Can lead to very rewarding hits or punishes if you are reading and conditioning the opponent well.

- Mixup is weak. The opponent has many ways to avoid getting hit by this oki, which are usually only punishable with a proper read.

- Options are susceptible to Fuzzy Guard/Jump and reversals such as backdash, Gold Burst, or invulnerable attacks.

- Attacking within throw range gives the opponent the wake-up throw option.

- Attacking outside throw range results in generally weaker/fewer follow-up pressure or combo options.

Example Options:

• (walk/dash) meaty attack

  Hits the opponent for not blocking or attacking with something not invulnerable on wake-up. Anything can work depending on the situation. 2P or 2K are common options which grant pressure on block or combos on hit. 2K also hits high blocking. In corner, 6P grants a combo on normal or counter hit, and pressure on block. 5D can be used as an overhead hit which hits opponents for blocking low in anticipation of 2K or 2D, but can be reacted to and is unsafe on block. Fafnir can be used to grant frame advantage on block or combos on hit, but should generally be used from farther range to prevent getting thrown out of it. All of these options can be punished by invulnerable reversals.

• (walk/dash) WT

  Hits the opponent for blocking on wake-up because they expect meaty attacks or have been conditioned with them. If the opponent uses Fuzzy Jump on wake-up well, the meaty attack/WT "mixup" will not be effective. WT can be punished by jumping or throw invulnerable attacks.

• (walk/dash) delayed attack

  Delaying your attack can punish or at least leave you in a more favorable position if the opponent is using Fuzzy Jump. 5K is commonly useful for this to either hit them out of jump startup or force them to FD on the way up of their jump. This can be punished by invulnerable reversals.

• (walk/dash) immediate/delayed air throw

  Immediate air throw catches jumping or reversal Burst. Delayed air throw can catch Fuzzy Jump. This is punishable by other reversal attacks and leaves you in a bad position if the opponent stayed grounded, so it needs to be a good read.

• (walk/dash) meaty 2P connect/whiff > 5P/2P

  This is an option select to either pressure on block, combo on hit, or whiff cancel if they used reversal backdash. 2P whiff cancels to 5P/2P, so many backdashes will be caught by the 5P/2P if you were close enough. This can be punished by invulnerable reversal attacks.

• (walk/dash brake) block, backdash, or jump FD

  If the opponent has invulnerable reversals, you can use these options to bait and often punish them. Backdash will potentially dodge reversals entirely which prevents an RC on block. If the opponent didn’t try for a reversal however, it can potentially switch the momentum in their favor.

After any knockdown which grants you time to get close enough for a meaty attack. It isn't the strongest oki, but sometimes it's your only option. It can still be effective if you can read and condition opponents well.

[/collapse]

The most effective meterless oki in most situations. Commonly used after VV, BR, and GV knockdowns. Involves enforcing a meaty jump-in that is safe to any reversal which grants combos on hit and pressure on block. You can add in mixups or punishes according to how opponents react.

Pros/Cons:

+ Provides the strongest meterless oki options available. Grants safe pressure or mixups on conditioned opponents.

+ Allows for option selects which can shut down multiple wake up options simultaneously.

+ Effective at both midscreen and corner, and can be used off most common knockdowns.

- Wake up time must be taken into account. Mistiming safejump oki makes it weaker and can result in you getting punished.

- Certain knockdowns may not grant enough time to allow safejump oki at ideal spacing.

- Mixup options are susceptible to multiple reactions from opponents, so they must be used with care or after conditioning.

Example Options:

• meaty safejump j.S/j.HS

  This option is the basis of safejump oki. Use this to hit opponents for not blocking high on wake up. Timed properly when the opponent uses an invulnerable attack on wake up, you land in time to block it, hence the name "safejump". This is a safe method of applying pressure after knockdowns, and once enforced it opens up mixup opportunities. Both j.S and j.HS are good; j.S reaches lower and is jump cancellable, j.HS hits twice. The opponent can reversal backdash to avoid blocking, but you can use option selects to punish that in most cases (see Option Selects thread). This option is susceptible to reversal Blitz Shield, but that is easily punished if baited.

• j.P

  The benefit j.P has over j.S or j.HS is the very short blockstun and small pushback, making it usable as very fast tick throw set up with WT. It is also faster so timing safejump with it is easier. However, j.P grants generally weaker combos on hit or pressure on block.

• empty jump 2K/2D

  This hits the opponent for blocking high in anticipation of a meaty jump-in. 2K is 1f faster and leads to more followup options, but has less range than 2D. Typically this option requires a forward jump which lands you within the opponent’s throw range, so it is susceptible to that. Also can be hit by reversals and jumped out of.

• empty jump throw/WT

  Similar to the previous option, catches opponent for blocking in anticipation of a meaty jump-in. Both connect faster than empty jump 2K or 2D, throw being fastest but least rewarding without RC.

• empty jump/close-to-ground VV

  This will punish attempts to throw your empty jump options since VV is throw invulnerable. Note that you can be thrown the frame you land before it's possible for VV to come out, but this requires frame perfect timing from the opponent. In this case, you can do VV right before landing to punish this throw timing. Without RC, this option is high risk and low reward.

• close-to-ground air dash j.S

  This acts as a delayed high hit to either hit opponents for blocking low in anticipation of empty jump lows, or punishing attempts to throw your empty jump options. For mixup purposes, it is best used from a minimum possible height air dash. Typically this will only punish throw attempts if they are not option selecting it with 6P or other anti-air attacks. This is also susceptible to reversals and doesn't catch jumping on wake-up.

• close-to-ground air dash j.P

  This can be used to punish throw attempts in anticipation of empty jump options. Since j.P is faster than j.S and has a smaller hurtbox, it will be much more effective at this. On block it leads to good pressure options. It can hit jump startup more easily and punish backdashes as well. However it will whiff on crouch blocking opponents (except Potemkin). Also susceptible to reversals.

• close-to-ground air dash j.VV

  This can be used as a nearly surefire punish against anti-air/throw option selects from opponents using that to beat empty jump and low air dash options. High risk and low reward without Tension to RC.

• deep (dash) j.S/j.D blocked > fuzzy j.P/j.K/j.S/j.D

  From a very deep blocked j.S or j.D, you can instantly jump cancel to another jump-in for an unexpected second high hit. Between this and deep j.S/j.D blocked > 2K, you have essentially a 50/50 mixup. j.S will result in less time between landing into 2K, but j.D can make your fuzzy attempt combo if the opponent didn't block high initially which helps since it must be input too fast to confirm that. j.D is also higher level so more options are gapless on Instant Block

  . These are difficult to execute and character specific. Information on all of them is below.

  - fuzzy j.P: Works from j.S/j.D on AX, RA, SI, SO, SL, VE, ZA. Combos to j.SVV, which can be RC for follow-ups. If you have dashing momentum or are in corner it can be followed up without RC.

  - fuzzy j.K: Works from j.S/j.D on ZA. Combos to j.SVV, which can be RC for follow-ups. If you have dashing momentum it combos to slight delay j.S > j.HS/j.D. This is easily the best fuzzy because it requires no Tension for good combos and gives safe pressure if blocked.

  - fuzzy j.S: Works from j.S except on IB, works from j.D regardless of IB. Works on all fuzzy j.P characters plus BE, IN, MI, PO. Combo options are the same as j.P, this option just works on more characters at the cost of being less airtight from j.S.

  - fuzzy j.D: Works from j.S/j.D on ZA. Combos to j.SVV, which can be RC for follow-ups. Not much reason for this when fuzzy j.K also works on Zato.

  Note none of these options work on CH, EL, FA, LE, KY, MA.

• peak-of-jump j.HS(2) blocked

  Acts as a sort of fuzzy guard on tall characters who stand block the 2nd hit j.HS when you are high up. After the recovery of j.HS, you have a few options:

  - j.P/j.K: Hits opponent for switching to low block after blocking the j.HS. Hard to convert from without dashing momentum.

  - air dash j.S: Hits opponent for switching to low block after blocking the j.HS.

  - land 2K: Hits opponent for high blocking after then j.HS.

• forward jump over > cross-up j.K

  This option can be useful at spacings where a forward jump will put you behind the opponent, commonly after VV knockdown. It hits the opponent for not blocking high, or blocking the incorrect way left or right. Usually the j.K can only be followed up with f.S or 2D immediately upon landing, you don't have time to dash close. You can also make cross-up j.K more ambiguous with dashing neutral jump. Note j.K doesn't reach as far down as his other air normals. It won't connect from the front on a crouch blocking Chipp, and won't connect at all on a crouch blocking Faust. This option is susceptible to Blitz Shield or reversal attacks, typically it can't be used as a meaty safejump. Reversal backdash can escape easier as well because Sol is farther away.

• forward jump over > empty jump 2D

  This option is useful in conjunction with cross-up j.K. If the opponent is high blocking in anticipation of j.K, they get hit by 2D. The opponent can jump on wake-up to avoid it, but the cross-up j.K hits jump, so this will be especially effective if they have been conditioned with that. This option is also susceptible to reversal attacks.

• forward jump over > close-to-ground air backdash j.K

  This option acts as a delayed high hit, which can also catch the opponent for attempting to throw or low block when you would normally land. It typically catches reversal backdash attempts. This option can be jumped out of and is susceptible to reversal attacks.

• close-to-ground double jump

  This can be used to make opponents whiff throw or anti-air/throw option selects, then whiff punish them with a falling jump attack, such as j.S. Whether or not whiff punishing will be possible is dependent on what attack they used. This can also potentially avoid reversal attacks and allows punishing reversal Blitz Shield. This is susceptible to being air thrown and letting the opponent escape with backdash or other movement on wake up. It can be rewarding with a correct read, but you lose the offensive if they didn't take the bait.

• close-to-ground air backdash

  This can be used to dodge reversal attacks, namely ones which the opponent hopes to RC if blocked for a safe escape. The height at which you have to air backdash that will still dodge depends on the reversal. It can be rewarding with a correct read, but you lose the offensive if they didn't take the bait.

• corner BR knockdown > walk back outside throw range > neutral jump > meaty safejump j.S/j.HS

  This is the corner setup for safejump oki from BR knockdown. Being outside throw range eliminates throw or anti-air/throw option select escapes, which makes safejump oki options stronger. This works the same way as a usual meaty safejump, but you land slightly farther out, so confirms into pressure or combos must account for that.

• corner BR knockdown > walk back outside throw range > neutral jump > meaty j.D

  In corner a j.D hit can easily convert to strong combos so it's an option here to hit the opponent for not blocking high on wake up. It can be a safejump, but since it has extra landing recovery it won't be safe to faster reversals.

• corner BR knockdown > walk back outside throw range > neutral jump > empty jump 2K/2D

  Hits the opponent for blocking high, as well as attempting throw or (most) anti-air/throw option selects. Susceptible to jumping and reversals.

• corner BR knockdown > walk back outside throw range > neutral jump > empty jump WT

  Hits the opponent for blocking and attempting throw or anti-air/throw option selects. Note this connects faster than empty jump 2K. Susceptible to jumping and reversals.

• corner BR knockdown > walk back outside throw range > neutral jump > close-to-ground airdash j.S

  Hits the opponent for blocking low in anticipation of empty jump lows. Susceptible to reversals and jumping out.

Typically after any VV, BR, or GV knockdown.[/collapse]

Consists of using GF such that it's meaty and advantage on block, granting you the ability to close distance or start ground pressure. It forces the opponent to block or reversal on wake up, otherwise they get hit by GF which can be easily followed up. To make GF advantage, you need it to connect later in its active frames. Use GF early enough so that when they wake up the later flames are on top of them, but not too early or it can hit OTG. Also note you can be thrown if within throw range even if GF is meaty, so space yourself well.

Pros/Cons:

+ Mostly safe method of establishing pressure following close range knockdowns.

+ Typically cannot be reversal backdashed like meaty attacks in basic ground oki.

+ Timing is easy.

- Mixup abilities are weak, you simply establish ground pressure with this oki.

Example Options:

• f.S

  This can be used to pin the opponent in place and either prevent them from jumping away after blocking GF or hit them if they attacked. This option is susceptible to invulnerable attacks.

• Fafnir

  Fafnir acts as a pressure restarter after GF is blocked which also closes distance. This option is susceptible to being counter poked, more or less so depending on GF advantage, and invulnerable attacks. This is best used when opponents are conditioned to block after GF with f.S.

• dash into close range pressure/WT

  This is best used when opponents are conditioned to block after GF with f.S. You can set up stronger pressure and tick throws if the opponent lets you close distance after GF.

• block/dash brake

  This is used to bait reversals through GF or after blocking GF. It can also bait Dead Angle Attack.

Typically after any close knockdown. Safejump oki is more ideal in most situations, but you can often fall back on GF oki if you weren't confident in timing a safejump option. Commonly used after Dead Angle Attack, or 2D since it's Sol’s only face down knockdown. It is especially strong when delay cancelled from 6HS knockdown, this GF is extremely high advantage and you can't get safejump oki after 6HS anyway.[/collapse]

Sol’s strongest oki for mixups. With the proper setups, the opponent has very few methods of escaping safely. Proper setups are those that result in empty jump 2K being gapless after Instant Block of the GF, or spaced outside throw range where 2K hits jump attempts after Instant Block of the GF. In both cases, the anti-air/throw option select is essentially removed from the opponent’s options, it no longer beats low air dash j.S and empty 2K simultaneously. Meterless outside throw range corner safejump oki also eliminatea the anti-air/throw option select, but GF (YRC) also hits jumping on wake up which could be used to escape high/low mixup in the meterless oki. The opponent can choose to reversal Blitz Shield the GF to enable anti/throw option select, unless you use spaced outside throw range variations.

Pros/Cons:

+ Enables the strongest high/low mixup in Sol’s arsenal and pressure afterwards if it was blocked.

+ Greatly limits the opponent’s wake up options, shuts down more wake up options simultaneously than meterless safejump oki.

- Costs Tension.

- Enables Dead Angle Attack upon blocking GF, whereas meterless safejump oki often aims to hit on the first attack that connects (DAA is still baitable however).

Example Options:

• typical BR knockdown > backdash > GF (YRC) > forward jump

  This will work on any character following Kudakero |> 6P > BR ender. For best advantage, YRC as soon as possible after GF. This option is weaker on Venom due to his fast wake up speed, he can always throw empty jump after Instant Blocking GF.

  - deep j.S/j.D: Hits opponents for blocking low and sets up fuzzy guards (see Safejump oki). Gapless on Instant Block.

  - empty jump 2K: Hits opponents for blocking high. Gapless on Instant Block.

  - close-to-ground air dash j.S: Hits opponents for blocking low. Minimum height air dash is ideal for mixup. The size of the gap for this after blocking or Instant Blocking GF is a function of character wake up timing. Note gatling to j.D can result in a whiff on crouch hit at minimum height air dash. This happens on IN, MA, MI, SI, ZA. On all but MI, you can delay the j.D slightly to make it connect. On any of them, using j.HS instead is a consistent alternative at the cost of limiting combo route options.

  - close-to-ground air dash j.P: Hits opponents for switching to low block after blocking GF. Gapless on Instant Block. Can hit Potemkin crouching.

  - close-to-ground air dash j.K: Hits Potemkin for low blocking. Gapless on Instant Block.

  - peak-of-jump j.HS(2) blocked:

• 6P > delay 5HS > BR knockdown > walk into ideal spacing outside throw range > GF (YRC) > neutral jump

  This option is especially useful if the opponent is using reversal Blitz Shield to make empty jump throwable in forward jump options. It grants enough advantage after the knockdown to position yourself outside throw range and still perform a very high advantage GF (YRC). GF (YRC) is high enough advantage that empty jump 2K hits jump attempts after Instant Block of the GF with proper timing. Mixup options here are the same as in corner safejump oki. Note the one drawback of this setup is if your mixup attempt is blocked it results in generally weaker followup pressure because of distance (namely empty jump 2K). Note the range at which 2K > 6P will combo on stand hit is character specific. In order of range leniency: PO > BE > SO,ZA > SI > FA > EL,LE > RA,SL > KY > IN,MA > AX,VE > MI > CH.

• 6P > 6HS > HSVV->TO knockdown > GF (YRC) > forward jump

  This option is essentially the same as the BR > backdash option, but much more character and starter specific. Combos will lead to higher damage and Tension gain with this ender, so it is worth using if you know it works.

  - Characters this ender is consistent from 2K > 6P > delay 5HS (JC) > j.D, falling j.D |> Fafnir, dash 6P > delay 5HS/2HS (JC) > j.D > Kudakero: AX, FA, SL, ZA(with 2HS)

  - Characters this ender is consistent from WT > (cross-under) 5HS (JC) > j.D, falling j.D |> Fafnir, dash 6P > delay 5HS (JC) > j.D > Kudakero: AX, FA, SL, MA (with cross-under), PO, SO

  - Characters this ender is consistent from 5D > backdash, (dash) 6HS > BB, Fafnir, dash 6P > delay 5HS (JC) > j.D > Kudakero: AX, FA, SL, LE, MA, SI, SO

  On Bedman, add dash 5K before the final 6P and it works form WT and 5D starters.

When you have meter to spare and want a hard to escape mix up. It's less effective on Venom because of his wake up speed, he can always throw an empty jump 2K and has a very fast 6P, so anti-air/throw option select is an option for him on forward jump methods.[/collapse]

• Face up wake-up timing, from shortest to longest:

VE (21) > KY (23) > BE = IN = PO (24) > AS = AX = BA = DI = FA = JC = JO = KU = MA = MI = RA = RV = SO = ZT (25) > JA = SL (26) > EL (27) > LE (28) > CH = SI (30)

• Face down wake-up timing, from shortest to longest:

IN = SL (20) > AX = BA = KY = SI = SO (21) > MA = PO = ZT (22) > JC = MI = RA (23) > CH = DI = JO = RV (24) > AS = JA (25) > LE = VE (26) > EL = KU (27) > FA (29) > BE (30)

• DAA which can be low profiled with 2D and lead to 5K/c.S whiff punish:

CH*, FA*, IN, KY, LE, MA, PO, RA, SI, SO, ZT

* = 5K only

• DAA which can be dodged with point blank c.S and lead to 5K/c.S whiff punish:

FA*, IN, PO**, SI

* = 5K only

** = CH 6P/2HS/2D also punish

• DAA which can be dodged with GV but not 2D or c.S:

AX, BE, CH, EL, MI, VE

• Special case on SI: 6P and 5HS will dodge and punish his DAA recovery.

• Minimum height air dash crouch hit j.S > immediate j.D whiffs on:

IN, MA, MI, SI, ZT

Replace j.D with j.HS.

• Minimum height air dash crouch hit j.P or j.K connects on:

PO

• Crossup j.K whiffs on crouch:

FA

• Crossup j.K whiffs on walking forward:

MA

• Distance at which 2K stand hit will combo to 6P, from farthest to shortest range:

PO > BE > SO = ZT > SI > FA > EL = LE > RA = SL > KY > IN = MA > AX = VE > MI > CH

• Distance at which 2D will combo to BR, from farthest to shortest range:

testing...

• On 2D hit > BR whiff 1st hit, the 2nd hit will connect OTG on:

This allows them to air tech.

• 2D > BR (RC) > air dash j.S > j.K > j.D combos fail on:

KY, LE

The j.S whiffs.

• Normal hit 2D > no mash GV combos on:

DI, RA > BA, MI (as of GGXrdR) > JA > MA

On MA, it only works at point blank range. JA also requires fairly close proximity.

• Ground hit 6P > 5HS (HJC) > IAD j.K fails on:

RV

• During air hit 5HS (HJC) > IAD j.K > j.D > Aerial HS Volcanic Viper -> Tataki Otoshi, Tataki Otoshi fails on:

DI, RA

• Crouch hit CH 5HS > BB combos on:

AS, AX, BA, BE, DI, IN, JO, KU, KY, LE, PO, RA, RV, SI, SL, SO, VE

BB whiffs on CH, EL, FA, JC, JA, MA, MI, ZT

• On KU and PO, CH 5HS > IAD j.S combos on both stand and crouch hit.

• Ground starter > 1 D-Loop rep > Fafnir whiffs with standard timing when deep in corner on:

IN, DI, MA, MI, JA

To land Fafnir on the above, delay the JC slightly after 5HS/2HS. On CH, it is possible without delay JC but strict, requires immediate 5HS/2HS or delay Fafnir. BA and SO are similar but not as strict. BE and SL sometimes require a delay Fafnir from improvised starters.

• Midscreen WT > delay dash j.D is very strict on:

EL, KY, MI, ZT

• Burst safe WT > delay j.S > j.K > j.D > Fafnir route works on:

AX, FA, PO, SI (barely)

• j.D > Kudakero tends to whiff in longer corner combos on:

BA, IN > VE, RA

For standard combo routes, replace 6P > delay 5HS with 6P > max delay 2HS beforehand. 2HS is faster, allowing more time for delay and letting them bounce closer to you. If the combo uses hj.D, Kudakero will also tend to whiff on PO, in which case do a deep regular jump into j.D instead.

• In typical corner combos, use nj.D instead of fj.D before Kudakero on:

MA

The 2nd hit has a tendency to whiff when deep in corner, and the first hit is extremely lenient with distance to corner on her.
This issue seems to be fixed in 1.1.

• deep j.S/j.D (JC) > fuzzy j.P works on:

AX, RA, SI, SO, SL, VE, ZT

Combos to j.SVV, need RC to combo after midscreen unless you have dash momentum.

• deep j.S/j.D (JC) > fuzzy j.K works on:

ZT

Combos to delay j.S > j.D/j.HS, best with dash momentum.

• deep j.S/j.D (JC) > fuzzy j.S works on:

AX, BE, IN, MI, RA, PO, SI, SO, SL, VE, ZT

Combos to j.SVV, need RC to combo after midscreen unless you have dash momentum. Fails on IB from deep j.S.

• deep j.S/j.D (JC) > fuzzy j.D works on:

ZT

Combos to j.SVV, need RC to combo after midscreen unless you have dash momentum.

• None work on:

CH, EL, FA, LE, KY, MA

• 6K+HS (5K/Throw)

Notes: Very practical and useful any time you want to throw. Throw whiff becomes a 3f normal which catches jumps well. Note this only works with forward throw, back with this input gives Faultless Defense.[/collapse]

• j.6P+HS (j.P/Air Throw)

Notes: Not entirely necessary in most situations, since j.HS is such a strong normal on its own, but j.P is the fastest and shortest duration air throw whiff option. This makes it less likely to be countered and allows more leniency in air combos which are structured to be safer to Burst. For example, it is easier to set up situations where j.P would combo on an opponent not using Burst, or air throw that Burst if they did use it. Note this only works with forward throw, back with this input gives Faultless Defense.[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~[4/1] (Safejump)

Notes: This is the most basic safejump OS, and is essentially just what "safejump" refers to. It is simply inputting block to defend against invulnerable reversals used against your meaty. Depending on reversal speeds, you may need to use the meaty as deep as possible, or there may be some leniency with height and timing. This is character specific. It is hardly worth even mentioning, but the following safejump OS build upon this.[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~[4]K/S (Safejump/Backdash Punish)

Notes: This is a reversal backdash punish OS. 4K is the most common punish and usually hits twice which makes for easier confirming. This OS is safe to fast reversal attacks (generally 7f or faster) because by the time you input 5K, their reversal has already connected, and holding 4 prior to the K/S input makes you block it. Reversal Burst hits this OS. The following is character specific info on these backdash punishes.

Characters 4K hits backdash:

- AX, FA, KY, LE, RA, SO, VE

Characters 4S(close) hits backdash:

- AX, CH, EL, IN, KY, LE, RA, SO, VE

Characters with reversals that punish this OS:

- AX, IN, KY, LE, RA[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~6[6]K/S (Safejump/Backdash Punish)

Notes: This is a reversal backdash punish OS for Potemkin, Bedman, and Zato. The 2nd hit of 5K connects ground hit on Potemkin's backdash. f.S connects ground hit on Bedman's backdash. 5K or c.S connects air hit on Zato. Since their only reversal attacks are Overdrives, this OS is safe to them. You are still dashing at the point of the Overdrive flash, and can react to punish accordingly. Reversal Burst hits this OS.[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~6[6] (Safejump/Dash)

Notes: This will chase an opponent’s reversal backdash and grant you close range pressure. It is especially useful on characters with only Overdrive reversals whose backdashes cannot be punished with these kinds of safejump OS (May and Millia). This OS loses to reversal attacks or Burst unless you Dash Brake with Faultless Defense in time.[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~44 (Safejump/Backdash)

Notes: This is useful for dodging certain reversal attacks which the opponent hopes to RC on block. It is unfortunately very difficult to time, but will grant you safejump pressure while at the same time preventing the opponent from safely switching the momentum in their favor. This will lose reversal Burst and if the opponent reversal backdashed, you lose your offensive.

Characters with reversals which backdash can dodge DP RC attempts:

- AX, KY, SI

Characters with reversal Overdrives which punish backdash:

- AX, KY[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~5/2S+HS (Safejump/Blitz Shield)

Notes: This is not too practical in most cases, but can be used to countering certain reversal attacks. It is unfortunately very difficult to time. This will also Blitz Shield reversal Burst, but if the opponent did reversal backdash or Overdrive, you can be punished.

Characters with reversals which can be countered with Blitz Shield:

- AX, CH, KY, LE, SI, SO[/collapse]

• meaty j.HS~956/4HS (Safejump/Burst Throw)

Notes: This will air throw a reversal Blue or Gold Burst. It isn't easy to input and not very practical, especially against characters that have other reversal options. It's more of a read that leaves you in a favorable position if they chose to block, but the meaty can whiff against reversal backdash too, which isn't the best result. You can also choose to use j.P for the throw whiff. Note you can't use j.S here because it's jump cancellable.[/collapse]

• meaty j.S/j.HS~TR (Safejump/TR)

Notes: This is expensive, but punishes nearly all reversal backdashes and many reversal attacks. It will lose to reversal Bursts.

Characters TR hits reversal backdash:

- AX, BE, CH, IN, KY, MA, PO, RA, SI, SO, VE, ZA

Characters with reversals which TR can clash or lose to:

- AX, CH, KY, LE, SO[/collapse]

• WT~P+K+S (WT Connects/YRC)

Notes: This can be used any time you attempt WT with at least 25% Tension (P+K+S is just an example YRC input, any combination can be used here). If the opponent jumped or backdashed your WT, you will YRC and be able to pursue. Faster throw invulnerable attacks will typically hit you out of YRC startup (6f). Note you must YRC on the active frame of WT, too early will give you YRC before WT can connect, and too late will give you PRC if you had 50% Tension. This requires accurate timing to be effective, WT startup is 4f.[/collapse]

• Fafnir~P+K+S (Fafnir Connects/YRC)

Notes: This can be used any time you attempt Fafnir with 25%-49% Tension (P+K+S is just an example YRC input, any combination can be used here). If the opponent backdashes, Gold Bursts, or uses an invulnerable attack through Fafnir, you will YRC. You can use similar option selects to the safejump backdash punish options with this. They may not grant guaranteed punishes, but it can ensure you get pressure after they backdash Fafnir.[/collapse]

• placeholder ()

Notes: placeholder[/collapse]

• 4/6HS+D (Burst/Throw)

Notes: Not much reason not to use this when going for a Gold Burst. In general any attacks that beat throw will be susceptible to Gold Burst, and Gold Burst is generally safe on block. Getting a throw instead of Gold Burst when the opponent was throwable is still a favorable outcome, and you can save the Burst for later.[/collapse]

• As with other characters, Sol seems most similar to his #R iteration. No Sidewinders or Clean Hits.
• Dustloop is possible.
• Grand Viper is old style, where it ends with the uppercut.
• Riot Stamp allows a follow-up combo meterless on normal hit.
• Bandit Bringer causes ground bounce on hit.
• Fafnir is in, not cancelable into.
• Dragon Install can be performed in air.
• NEW MOVE: Kudakero (j.214K), a dive kick special.
• NEW MOVE: P.B.B. (within Dragon Install j.623K), Sol performs an airdash into a grab on hit, block-able.
• Tyrant Rave within Dragon Install creates a giant beam for the 2nd attack, does lots of damage.
• Kudakero, Riot Stamp within Dragon Install creates a huge explosion.
• New Dust animation, looks similar to first hit of Tyrant Rave.

• Gun Flame: Hitbox possibly huge
• Gun Flame (Feint): Builds more tension
• S Volcanic Viper: Hitbox smaller than #Reload
• Tataki Otoshi: Hitbox smaller, can't delay long
• Bandit Bringer: Might not hit at the very tip?
• Fafnir: Can't cancel into it, hit causes slide, CH causes tumbling, haven't found a way to combo off the tumble meterlessly mid-screen yet
• Riot Stamp: No added benefit to CH (I assume due to the whole second hit thing), can air dash after second hit on hit or block, on hit you can do something like air dash j.S/HS/D > SVV -> TO
• Kudakero: (I have no idea what the first part is trying to say), unsafe on block
• Dragon Install: (Again, no idea what the first part is trying to say), air HSVV same as ground?
• New gatling: 2S > 6HS
• 6P: Same as #Reload (2K > 6P is possible but you can't delay the gatling)
• 2HS: CH is weaker than it was in #Reload
• 6HS: One hit, normal hit knocks down, CH floats, can probably RC to follow it up
• Kudakero: hits mid, if theyre too close up the 2nd hit whiffs alot, midscreen hit cant do anything off it, corner hit maybe meterless pickup? looks like guaranteed punish on block

• Dragon Install command changed: now 214214HS instead of 214214S.

• Kudakero combos from j.D, but doing multiple hits into it prevents the ground bounce from connecting (due to positioning, you need to be above the opponent). After the ground bounce, it's possible to follow-up with 5K.
• (DI) Tyrant Rave ver.Beta blast damage deals 50% raw to Sol and May at max life (and about 60% to Chipp). Chip damage reduced.
• When Dragon Install ends, the Tension Gauge automatically drops to 0.
• Dizzy animation seems short. Sol says "Konna mon ka" ("Is this it?") during it.

• Getting knocked down does not end Dragon Install.
