VF4 The System of Instant Recovery

The artist, I mean, document formerly known as "The System of Break Falling" has been updated. It is now <a target="_blank" href=http://virtuafighter.com/view.php?section=vf4&file=vf4_instant_recovery.html>The System of Instant Recovery</a> and the major changes include the change in terminology to be in-line with the US PS2 version as well as some minor textual changes.

The official terminology used in the US PS2 version:

<ul type="square">[*]In-Place Recovery (IPR or IP): Previously QR (P+K+G)
[*]Side Roll Recovery (SRR or SR): Previously TR (d or u+P+K+G)
[*]Instant Recovery (IR): Previously Break Falling. Collectively means IP or SR.
[*]Exact Recovery (ER): Previously Just Break Fall. A perfectly timed IP or SR. [/list]
Previous notes mentioning "QR/TR" can be replaced with "IR" or "Instant Recovery". Same with "Just Break Falling" being replaced with "Exact Recovery". I've already begun using this terminology in the Command Lists.

I won't fuss if people continue to say "QR/TR" all the time, but isn't it easier to type "IR"? Two letters good, four letters baaaaad /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Well... does QR/TR mean the same? But sure, IR can be used in place of QR/TR, but not "just" QR or "just" TR...

If you just use QR or TR alone, then you're being too specific. For example, if I annotate a move in the command list with "QR possible", then it could be interpreted to mean that a TR is not possible. So, that's why it's always grouped together like this: "QR/TR", which to me, is pretty redundant.

Specifically, the terms are all to do with knockdown recovery - In-Place, Side Roll, Instant, Exact. We can refer to the collectively as IR, or when perfectly timed, ER.

p.s. thanks for your terminology faq update, I'll reply back shortly after I go through it.
