Okizeme/Oki or Wake-up Game - Most Soul-Calibur-turned-Tekken players refer
to oki as wake-up. This term simply refers to the ground game. Whenever
someone says oki they mean a situation where one of the characters will
hit the ground at some point. The majority of the time it will be used
when a character is stationary on the ground and cannot techroll, but it
is not exclusive to that situation.
Poke or poking - This is what's usually called chip damage. A poke is when

expect to hit JS all the time.
