Safe Jump Table

<aside> 📢

This table shows which characters you can safe jump at which knockdowns

✅ Check mark means you can use any safe jump option freely. ☑️ Blue checkmark means they can beat certain jump in options under certain conditions. *this table may not be completely comprehensive. *note that empty jump situation is worse for Ed when lower than +42

</aside>

<aside> 💡

A good time to go for safe jumps is when the opponent is low drive (~1 bar). This is because both parry and blocking from the opponent risk burnout vs empty jump grab and a jHP block string (both of which can put them in a round-losing situation if they guess wrong).

</aside>

Character +38 +39 +40 +41 +42 Notes (all info here is based on corner safe jumps)
Aki ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ • Aki can avoid jHP of the safe jump with OD Slide. To beat this you must empty jump grab or use an OS. To do the OS, do your jHP, press throw, then press your follow up option.
Akuma ☑️ ✅ • Akuma can beat +41 safe jump options with his 5f L DP (but you can still beat this with an empty jump)
Alex
Bison ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Blanka ✅ ✅ ✅
Cammy ☑️ ✅ • Cammy can beat +41 safe jump options with her 5f L DP (it loses to empty jump though)
Chun Li ☑️ ✅ • Chun can beat +41 safe jump options with her 5f L DP (it loses to empty jumps though)
C. Viper ☑️ ☑️ ✅ ✅ ✅ • Viper can beat +38 & +39 safe jumps with her 8f LVL 1 and DP (these lose to empty jumps baits)

Luke ☑️ ✅ • Luke can beat +41 safe jump options with his 5f L DP (but you can still beat this with an empty jump)
Mai ☑️ ✅ • Mai can beat +41 safe jump options with her 5f L DP (but you can still beat this with an empty jump)
Manon ✅ ✅ ✅
Marisa ✅ ✅ ✅ ☑️ ☑️ • Marisa's OD Scutum can beat jHP safe jump in attempts at +41 & +42 (but it loses to empty jump throw). Can always safe jump with jHP when she is burned out.

Yasmine
Zangief ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ ☑️ • Can always safe jump unless he has LVL 3, otherwise to beat that option you need to commit to a baiting option with empty jump/backdash or use an OS. To do the OS input a jump or a backdash in between the jHP of the safe jump and your followup attack to beat LVL 3 if it comes out.
