for it to last up to 5 seconds (if you release the buttons immediately,

he reappears on by holding the joystick toward or away after doing the
move (in certain spots you can leave the joystick in neutral to return in
the same place). The fire during his disappearance (not his reappearance)
is a short-range attack that will both damage and stun his opponent. This
fire cannot be blocked, but can be avoided by jumping. Teleport, also
Unblockable.

This move counts as a combo hit, yet inflicts no damage. It stuns your
opponent for a short time, unless he/she was already stunned by the Voodoo
Spell - in which case your combo will end and your opponent will probably
hurt you before you recover. Projectiles will pass through Vertigo if the
Come Slither connects, but hit her if it does not connect.

///2.3  Jumping///

   All characters can do three types of jumps in Primal Rage. First, to do
a standard jump, just press up or diagonally up. Pretty easy, eh?  The
second type of jump is the long jump.  To do a long jump, tap down, then
do a "normal" jump immediately afterward.  This jump will be higher and
faster than the standard jump, and it will go much farther. No more
characters whose only jump is a drifter...  The third type of jump is the
most difficult, and most surprising jump in any game.  It is a "hop jump"
(a.k.a. "tiger jump") and you do it by pushing the direction you want to
jump (T or A), then down, then do the standard jump (i.e. T, D, UT, or A,
D, UA).  Additionally, the "hop jump" can now be done straight up, just
tap forward (or backward), down, and straight up (T or A, D, U)!  Unlike
version 1.7, Primal Rage version 2.3 lets you execute hop jumps versus the
computer, and the computer can use them against you, too!
     For even more excitement, you can buffer in hop jumps so that they
interrupt your power attacks! Chris Tang (TA...@agames.com) writes:

>There are extremely effective techniques that utilize this move.  My
favorite is jumping in with one or two hits, following up with two or
three ground attacks which end in a power.  While the power comes out, I
buffer in the motion for the hop jump- F, D, U.  As soon as my power makes
collision, my hop jump will send me straight up into the air, where I can
launch an attack to catch a low-blocking opponent off-guard.  Also, this
technique can be used for hit-and-run blocked combos by using the
backwards hop-jump instead. This style of play is fast, frantic, and
aggressive.  It's also a lot of fun.
