I've been playing this game I think around 3 years and I love it, I seem to win 3 out of 5 matches
But I still dont know any terms. No idea what a 50/50 is. Or a wakeup. or a parry. Or a mix-up. Or a neutral jump punch. So clueless on it.
I just know they come at me and I try to hit them before they hit me lol. Is it weird that I don't know any of the terms?
50/50 - refers to a situation where a player is forced to guess between one option or the other, usually a low attack or an overhead attack, without any reliable cues to warn them of what's coming next.
Wake-Up - refers to when a player performs a special attack when getting up after a knockdown. There are non-offensive ways to regain your footing, but those are generally not referred to as Wake-Ups.
Parry - a counter-styled special attack that punishes an offensive option from the opponent on a pure read. Example: Liu Kang performs a parry and is struck in this pose, causing the attacker to take on damage and get knocked down.
Mix-up - another way of referring to a 50/50.
Neutral jump punch - performing a punch attack while jumping straight up into the air or descending from that jump. If the attack connects, the opponent will bounce up off the ground, allowing you a combo.
Anything else you'd like to know?
