Okizeme is a Japanese fighting game term (起き攻め) that refers to attacking an opponent while they are knocked down. Because the opponent can not retaliate while knocked down, this is a great time to do meaties or do mixups.

Okizeme, often shorted to "oki", describes a situation in which one player attacks their opponent while the opponent's character is getting up off of the ground from being knocked down.


This works because the player whose character is standing is able to act while the other character cannot.
