Knocked Down

Knocked Down is a state one can receive from one of a few specials that has the chance to knockdown a target, as well as by voluntary posture change while Dizzied. While knocked down, you are on your back and thus cannot move or attack. Your defences are also lowered while knocked down. To remove the state, either stand up or wait for the knockdown timer to end, at which point you will automatically stand up. If you try to stand up while dizzy, you will likely restart the knockdown timer. One cannot receive the knockdown state from another player more than once every 30 seconds, but when combined with Dizzy specials, getting a player knocked down once can be all you need to get the upper hand (and possibly keep the player down).
