What are I frames?

[HeaTBlazn]

ok ive been on srk for almost 4 years and I’ve never heard of this term.
What does this mean?

Ive also seen another term somewhere like in links or something like that.
il try to find it.

The IFRAME element defines an inline frame for the inclusion of external objects including other HTML documents. IFRAME provides similar functionality to OBJECT. One advantage of IFRAME is that it can act as a target for other links. However, OBJECT is included in HTML 4 Strict while IFRAME is not.

I’ve also never heard this term. Sounds like it was a typo.

frames of your attack where you can’t take damage. short for invicible frames.

Where the fuck did you get that?

[ilitirit]

invincibility/invulnerability frames

[Dime]

impact frame.

ie the frame when a move can first make contact with an opponent:

i13 = the move has 12 frames of startup and hits/**impacts **on the 13th frame.

[Dumb_Luck07]

[mr_punk]

invincibility/invulnerability frames

agreed. IMO, the phrase is more commonly associated with a game like ninja gaiden or GOW.

that’s probably off a wiki or something. that’s talking about I-frames in website coding.

personally i have never heard the term I-frame in relation to fighting games, it was primarily a term from like 3-d action games like devil may cry and Ninja Gaiden

I’m more willing to believe this, Tekken/Soul players use different jargon than we do… the other theory is just people being lazy :nono:

Here’s some snippets of “I-frame” related discussions found through google. Most are from SRK.

“His current Ultra is one of his best attributes next to his Knee of Justice, due to the crazy amount of i-frames.”

“7 minute video can be summed up as “any move that gives you i-frames”?” in relation to counters to unblockable ultras.

“EX PC should have more I frames on startup and should get complete not some half assed projectile invul”

“does something w/ i-frames (like backdash) then ryu would whiff”

“While I-frames on [Scarlet Terror] would be nice, I can’t see it happening anymore so I’ve given up hope.”

“Isn’t the armor glitch useless since you have I frames on Ultra anyway?”

“Vega: [Scarlet Terror] is just shit, period, no I-frames and it trades most of the time or gets stuffed”

“player 1’s Ultra and in some cases your I-frames will overlap his.”

“Its invincible on start up…then the i frames end…then there are a few more start up frames.”

“Right during a Roll, you will do a Back flip which has a few I-frames (Invincible frames).”

“A reversal not having any I frames AND costing meter = shit.”

This is true. Common parlance among Soul Calibur players.

I called those Active Frames. Ehh, I hate how different games use different lingo. Even though Impact Frames sounds better.

[Kikuichimonji]

I frames are invincibility frames.
