Gorilla Grodd’s special Primal Leap was originally meant to be a get-in toll for the intelligent ape versus zoning characters in Injustice 2. However, its landing recovery and vulnerability to easy anti-airs limited its usefulness. A new discovery for this move, however, may change that altogether:

Originally discovered by DoctorStabs and demonstrated by MK_REO, a properly-timed leap cancel allows Gorilla Grodd to instantly act upon touching the ground. Throws, lows, and frightening resets are now open immediately from the Primal Leap.

For newcomers to the fighting game genre, one of the most daunting things to learn is frame data. This importance of frame data to success is almost entirely exclusive to fighters, and involves a lot of numbers to delve into that can leave players baffled.

If you are trying to become better at fighting games, however, frame data is still one of the most important things to learn. It not only is one of the key things that dictates what moves can combo, but also shows you where you can punish your opponents — and how to keep yourself from being punished. This tutorial in the Git Gud Series shows the basics, using Street Fighter V as an example. It shows the clear-cut examples of what will usually be safe or unsafe, but also asks you to study specifics on your own.
