Chicken blocking
Jumping to block in the air instead of on the ground in air-block games — the coward's defence.
Definitions
In games that let you block in the air, you jump up to block instead of standing your ground. Airborne you only block one direction, so it shuts down high/low mixups — but you're stuck committing to the jump.
