Welcome to the Flesh Pits Here's some basic definitions of what you asked about, hope they help
Push Blocks: Spending a bar of meter to push an opponent back away from your character. Thus avoiding a bad situation or getting trapped in a corner.
Vortex: A combo + set-up that is very hard to guess how to get out of it. These usually involve Cross Up's and sometimes 50/50s.
Cross Up's: An attack that hits just behind the head of the character (usually a jumping attack) and will ignore block because the program considers that area effected the back of the character. These must be blocked the opposite direction. These are usually in Back-To-Block games like Street Fighter or Injustice.
50/50's: A combo string that can be changed with very little effort and makes the opponent guess as to either block high or low giving them effectively a 50% chance to get the block correct or take the damage.

Okay, so on a 50/50 if they block the first attack, can you punish? Or do you have to wait until there is a frame advantage at the end of a combo? Like x,x,x block all three, when do you know to punish?

Thanks for the reply, btw .

On a 50/50 if you block correctly then you should have frame advantage for a punish (in most cases but not all).

In your example, in a 50/50, that combo would be x, x, then the last hit being either a low hit or a high. It's just like any other combo, except the setup can end two different ways.

To get more technical, you can have a 33/33/33 where you have three different ways to end a combo. I'm sure that there can be 25/25/25/25's and beyond, but I've never seen one (Ivan Ooze maybe, he's already broken as fuck)

It depends on the combo string or special move they do. You would have to look at frame data to figure out if it is punishable or not. By the way if you want to reply to someone and make it so they get a notification simply hit reply on their comment so they see you replied.
