A reversal is any special that is done at the first frame of recovery. In most cases, a reversal is used in wake-up situations with an invincible move in order to hit the imposing opponent (wakeup shoryuken, wakeup super, etc) However, a reversal is ANY special from ANY stun, including block AND hit stun. Because in SF4, ALL reversals (except projectiles) focus-breaks, you will often see moves such as reversal Balrog's dash-punch focus break during footsies, and will add another layer of mind-games in ground-fights.
