Deathjump mechanics

[bastiat]

When I use a "Deathjump" on my character's offense, the description says "Your Opponent". I'm afraid I'm getting the mechanic wrong. If my offensive maneuver is a "Deathjump" why is it refering to my "Opponent" in the chart? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If the offensive wrestler goes for a deathjump, you roll 2 dice and look at the defensive wrestler's deathjump rating. A is the best, C the worst.

Yeah all the chart ratings are for defense.

So, for example, in COTG 2087 (I saw in one of your earlier posts you mentioned COTG 2087) a matchup of Lord Nexus vs Comrade Terror. If Lord Nexus goes for a deathjump on Comrade Terror then you roll on the Deathjump chart using Comrade Terror's C rating for Deathjump (and not Lord Nexus's A rating for Deathjump) because the deathjump is being performed against Comrade Terror.

All of the other charts work the same way as for Out of the Ring you roll on the Out of the Ring chart using the Ring rating for the wrestler being thrown out of the ring, for Into the Ropes you roll on the Into the Ropes chart using the Ropes rating for the wrestler being thrown into the ropes, and for Into the Turnbuckle you roll on the Turnbuckle rating of the wrestler being thrown into the turnbuckle.

Thanks everyone! Greatly appreciate it!

Hi, I also struggled at first with the concept of defensive wrestler rolling on the deathjump, ropes, turnbuckle and ring charts. I played my first few matches wrong. I then had a think thematically what the chart ratings represent and kind of think of it this way...ring rating is a wrestler’s ability to brawl and fight on the outside, while all the other charts represent ring awareness and how good a wrestler is at reversing manoeuvres...kind of like a ‘technical’ skill rating.
