-**Jump Animations** +**Jump Animations**: These animations trigger when the character //initiates// a jump. If you don't have the respective ''Fall Animation'' setup, the engine will attempt to use these animation as single jump cycles.

-**Falling (After Ground Bounce)**+**Fall Down Reactions**: Triggered when the character hits the floor after being knocked down. 
 +  * The ''Default'' animation is triggered whenever the engine can't find the related knockdown animation. 
 +  * In certain animations you can set a ''Fall Clip'' and a ''Down Clip''. Use this sequence when you want the Down Clip to be a loop (like breathing). 
 +  * If you don't want to have 2 clips it's important that the WrapMode is set to //Clamp Forever// under ''Fall Clip'', so the character stays down (as the last frame should have the character laying down). 
 +  * Air Recovery is triggered if the character is recovered from Stun in mid-air. Make sure you have the proper option enabled under [[global:combo|Combo Options -> Air Recovery Type]].

-**Stand Up** +**Stand Up Animations**: Triggered after the knockdown timer runs out (Adjustable under [[global:knockdown|Global -> Knock Down Options]]). 
-  * The time between knockdowns and stand up animations are set under [[global:knockdown|knock down options]]). +  * The ''Default'' animation is triggered whenever the engine can't find the related stand up animation.
-  * //Default Clip// is triggered after **Down**.+
   * All //Knockdown// animations can have its own follow up //stand up// animation.\\ Example: You may have a sweep animation that have your character facing down instead of facing up. You can set that animation to end at the down state and have a specific stand up for the sweep animation as a continuation of that clip.   * All //Knockdown// animations can have its own follow up //stand up// animation.\\ Example: You may have a sweep animation that have your character facing down instead of facing up.
