Mostly accurate. It’s hard to measure things with this stupid game engine.

  • Many moves have a special flag that makes them neutral unless you cancel into another move.
  • Links are always blockable unless the opponent is put into a comboable state (Net, Launchers), or you hit them with something unblockable.
  • No active frames because it’s impossible to tell where they are without a lot of tedious work.

Calculate whiff advantage by subtracting move 2 duration from move 1 cancel advantage:

  • f+BP xx Bomb on hit = 40 - 41 = -1f

Calculate gaps by subtracting move 1 cancel advantage from move 2 startup (EXE - 1)

  • FP,BP on block = (18 - 1) - 16 = 1f gap.
  • A 0f gap allows switching between standing and crouching.
  • A 1f gap allows Player B to reversal.
  • A 2f gap allows Player A to reversal.
    “Player A” refers to whoever the game assigns to win trades for a particular match. Win trades, lose to frametraps.

Updated for latest patch (as of June 25). Major changes are:

  • Command grab hitstun reduced by 30f
  • Command grab tech window increased to 9f from 2f
  • f+BP hitstun reduced by 17f
  • Net damage reset no longer works.
  • Net cooldown time significantly reduced.
  • Net allows the opponent to tech throws.
  • Various minor changes that I think were typos on my part.

Very good shit. Now if only every other char had avaliable Frame Data.

& lol @ XRay being plus on block

Much obliged!

Quick bump so people notice that this has been updated.

wow, I can’t believe you where able to find this
