safe jump
What does safe jump mean?
You jump in on a downed opponent and time the attack so that if they block, you keep pressure — but if they throw out an invincible reversal like a DP, you land in time to block and punish it. Heads you win, tails you win.
"I knocked him down, set up the safe jump, and blocked his shoryuken clean for a full punish."

Is a safe jump the same as a meaty?
Related but not identical. A meaty is about late active frames hitting on wake-up; a safe jump is specifically about staying safe from invincible reversals. Many safe jumps are also meaty.
