The "Vortex" is a term used in Street Fighter 4 to describe having a number of different attack options after landing an untechable knockdown.

An example of the vortex is when playing Akuma and after landing a neutral throw, you can dash twice and go for a cross up Hurricane Kick, Jump In Medium Kick, Empty Jump and go for a throw etc etc.

Another example is with Ibuki after landing a sweep or Neckbreaker. From here you can go in for a Super Jump Light Kunai, Jump In Light Kick Cross up or empty jump into throw among other things.
