Floor Recovery

In Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, a floor recovery is the many ways a character can "get to their feet" after being in knocked down state (or in Smash Bros. terminology "lying down" or "sitting down"). The manual claims that there is a short period of invincibility of getting up so that players are not defenseless while getting up. Ways a character may recover are by:


 * Stand Up: The player presses the up direction or shield, playing a get up animation. This animation has invulnerability and can be canceled into any action.
 * Roll: The player presses left or right to essentially do a roll similar to shield rolls.
 * Attacking: The player uses ANY attack at their disposal whether it be a special move, knockout attack or a simple jab
 * Throw: The player uses their throw attack.

Stand Up
Standing up is obviously used for mixups due to the invulnerability time and ability to cancel the animation with any action available.

Roll
Rolling can be incredibly predictable at times and even riskier against characters with large range such as Vilgax. It also doesn't help that rolling has little to no invulnerability frames on most characters. However, if near ledge, the roll can potentially coast off the platform creating some distance away or even cancel the roll entirely to be actionable faster. Rolling towards the direction an opponent is heading is generally not a good idea.

Attack/Throw
Doing an attack or throw will immeadiately let the character "get up" and attack as if nothing had happened. Whether the attack is a good or unfavorable option depends on which character and attack or throw is being used. Some characters may use quick attacks that influence movement such as K'nuckles' down signature to escape and potentially counter attack. Characters can also use knockout (/charge) attacks to create a big scary hitbox.

Using throw to grab assists or items will not trigger picking up the item.

Punch Time Explosion
It is worth noting that attempting to trigger a Punch Time Explosion will NOT work as a valid floor recovery and that either of the listed options above have to be used first.
