Super clean, nice and succinct, and grats for understanding that "neutral skips" are themselves part of it, they get you in, but you still have to win the offense/defense shuffle with your skippy tool to break out of neutral
Neutral used to mean the position of the stick in dead center. It allows for certain characters to perform certain standing moves that require a centered stick position. Moves like Guile's standing Neutral kick in Hyper Fighter, which instead would be a Knee if you were holding a forward or backward direction on the stick. But game jargon can change over time or be different in different regions. We would have referred to this kind of outside engagement as something like position game or range game. And if it's in closer range where you can move in and out to land or bait hits, we'd call that something like footsies or poke game.
