Technical

A technical, also known as a tech, is a term in the Street Fighter games used to describe the act of cancelling out the effects of certain attacks.

Description
Specifically, the technical can be used to describe many features of gameplay.

Quick Stand
A quick stand is executed when a player stands up immediately after knockdown. With the exception of attacks that inflict an Untechable Knockdown, the quick stand can be done anytime the player is knocked down.

Throw Tech
A throw technical is used to escape throws. The execution varies by game.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike
In 3rd Strike, a throw tech can be executed by throwing (i.e. pressing light kick and light punch) around the same time as the opponent. Both fighters will be pushed back an equal distance, and a certain amount of frames depending on the timing. If one player's throw was executed before the other, they gain a frame advantage and come out of the 'pushed' state faster.
