Moves with this property will place the opponent into a unique hitstun animation in which many game states will be paused, essentially "freezing" the opponent. These moves also are only able to hit one character and ignore the ArmoredNo results property. For instance Dark Phoenix Rising will not activate until the Capture state is ended, either by being hit or after a certain amount of time.

Some moves gain different properties when the button input is pressed and held for a certain amount of time. There are a wide variety of properties that change but generally Startup is always lengthened when charging a move.

Specials, Hypers, and certain normals will do 30% of their normal damage on block known as Chip Damage. Chip damage can be somewhat mitigated using Advancing Guard.

Some Hypers enter a Cinematic state on hit that is functionally similar to a capture state, with a short cutscene in which the opponent will not die until the cinematic ends. Additionally, Cinematic Hypers erase all projectiles on the screen as the cinematic starts, cannot be interrupted, and can only hit one character. When an assist character is hit, the cinematic will not trigger.

When a crumple move hits a grounded opponent it will cause the opponent to slowly crumple to the floor. When this occurs, they are freely comboable up until they hit the ground, but are considered airborne. Thus the first hit that connects on them will pop them into the air. When they finish the crumple and hit the ground, they are considered in Hard Knockdown for a fixed amount of time before they transition to soft knockdown and can tech roll.

Moves with this property will cause a grounded opponent to be placed in a very lengthy, comboable stun animation where baby chickens circle their head. The opponent will recover standing after a certain amount of time.

Certain moves will always cause a Ground Bounce regardless of if a Ground Bounce has already been used earlier in the combo. Some of these moves can also hit or be cancelled in specific ways to "reset" the Ground Bounce, allowing a regular Ground Bounce move to Bounce the opponent when it normally could not.

Moves with this property act very similarly to Forced Soft Knockdown moves but when the opponent hits the ground they will immediately tech in a designated direction. This leads to much stronger Okizeme than normal SKD.

Certain moves will always cause a Wall Bounce regardless of if a Wall Bounce has already been used earlier in the combo.

Moves with the property will cause the opponent to bounce off the ground in a comboable state for a certain amount of frames before transitioning into Hard Knockdown. Generally only one Ground Bounce is possible in a combo, using a second Ground Bounce move will instead lead to the opponent hitting the ground in the Soft Knockdown state. However, Down TAC and a few moves can get around this limitation.

All ?'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000000-QINU`"'?5S and certain other moves will launch the opponent into the air while also putting them in the launcher state. Buttons with the Launcher property are also superjump cancellable. When the opponent is in a launcher state a ?'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000002-QINU`"'?j.S will lead to a HKD on hit.

Some Hypers require players to mash ?'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000005-QINU`"'?L, ?'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000006-QINU`"'?M, and ?'"`UNIQ--templatestyles-00000007-QINU`"'?H during the Hyper in order to reach max damage. This will result in the Hyper having more hits and higher damage. Some Hypers, like Magneto's Gravity Squeeze, are close to impossible for Humans to mash fast enough to reach max damage.

Certain moves will be able to hit opponents laying on the ground in the Hard Knockdown state, and potentially lead to, or continue, a combo.

Lights Normals with the Rapid Fire property are self-cancellable into themselves infinitely. This makes them very useful for confirms, pressure, and neutral.

Certain moves will cause a lengthy animation where the opponent is launched upwards and fall to the ground while spinning in the air. They will always fall all the way to the ground unless interrupted, regardless of Hitstun Decay. Some moves Spinout moves result in a Hard Knockdown when the opponent touches the ground, some will result in Soft Knockdown.

Moves with this property will cause a grounded opponent to be placed in a hitstun animation where they stagger backwards slightly. While it does not last as long as Crumple?'"`UNIQ--item-4--QINU`"'? it is generally easy to combo.

Moves with the property will cause the opponent to bounce off the wall back towards the direction they traveled, even if the opponent doesn't reach the furthest edge of the stage. They are freely comboable until they hit the ground, and enter the Soft Knockdown state. Generally only one Ground Bounce is possible in a combo, using a second Ground Bounce move will instead lead to the opponent being able to air tech or hit the ground enter the Soft Knockdown State.
