Definitions:
Combo: A sequence of attacks that cannot be blocked given that the first hit connects.
Hitstun: The reeling state from a successful hit.
Blockstun: The reeling state from a blocked hit.
Link: a combo where one attack fully executes and recovers, and the next attack hits the opponent while they're still in hitstun.
Cancel: Interrupting the recovery of certain normals with a special move, super, or v-trigger.
Frame: Unit of time, 1/60th of a second.
Startup: The amount of time it takes for a move to hit.
Active: The amount of time an attack can hit, or is hitting.
Recovery: The amount of time a character takes to regain control after executing an attack
Advantage on Hit: When you recover after hitting the opponent, relative to the opponent. Positive numbers mean you recover first and can potentially link, negative numbers mean you recover second and can potentially be punished.
Advantage on Block: When you recover after being blocked by the opponent, relative to the opponent. Positive numbers mean you recover first, negative numbers mean you recover second and can potentially be punished.
Punish: An attack that hits during the recovery of the other character's attack, and thus cannot be blocked
Safe: Any move that cannot be punished.
Unsafe: Any move that can be punished.
Hitconfirm: An action that allows you to discern whether your next attack will hit or be blocked while still allowing you time to decide whether you want to go through with it.
Buffering: Inputting the motion for a special move during another attack.
