To perform a safejump OS, do a grounded button (in this case 2K), timed to come out on whiff but not on hit or block but delayed enough to allow you to block reversals
The window to perform this varies per character depending on their individual super flashes
Safejump OS is mainly used to beat backdash and super PRC
For super fPRC, this OS will mainly lose to throws but beat buttons
- You can OS with jump or backdash to beat throws, but this leaves you vulnerable if they don’t throw

Notes

The situation after whiffing on a backdash heavily depends on positioning and character
Only 9f 6Ps can be used to beat safejumps
Super PRC was tested on Goldlewis and may differ in practice
I’m considering blocking Gold Burst, but not fPRC button, as ‘winning’ since one situation doesn’t lead to pressure and the other can
With Eddie out, early Pierce and Leap can sidestep a lot of the RPSes seen here, as they can clip backdash, 6P, super PRC, and other options, while Zato can block and punish reversals. However, doing them early can lose you mix potential or make mixups substantially more difficult. Also, gold burst will sometimes kill Eddie, but not if he’s spaced far enough behind them.
