HMB's definitions
In shorthand 2-D fighting game notation, this stands for "cross up" or "cancel". A cross up is a move wherein the fighter launches an aerial attack that flies just over his opponent's head and clips him on the neck. Sometimes called a "neck hit". Quite effective but a little tricky to do. A cancel is a move that a fighter launches before a previous move is over.
M Bison can use a good cancel in the combo: Lv2 Knee Press Nightmare XX Fierce Psycho Crusher
Geese Howard can chain a good cancel in the combo: Crossup Jumping Forward, Standing Short x2, Standing/Crouching Fierce XX Deadly Rave (before last hit), Standing Short, Standing Fierce, Forward Jai-i-ken.
Scary, isn't it?

Compare this with TMD and WMD.

Get the TMD mug.A daily newspaper, founded in 1982, and funded by the Unification Church and Reverend Sun Myun Moon.

All: Yale's MBA program postulates the "Churn Rate Paradigm" as:
Client's churn rate = k(worker's stomach churn rate) = k(new worker's churn rate)
The intervariable relation is proportional and geometric.
