Hit confirm

What it is

To confirm a hit is simple in principle: all you have to do is see whether a move has hit the opponent. Obviously, this is not always possible to act upon unless you have superhuman reaction ability.

Critical points for hit confirming include ensuring that you can perform the vulnerable parts of a combo (or add-on move, or maybe even a string) without being exposed, and to make sure you aren’t wasting the power meter required for a super special move.
