Xiaoyu Frame Data

Can anyone confirm that LK Phoenix Talon is +3 on block? That doesn’t seem right.

If it is, that means it’s a free reversal and you have no reason NOT to use it if you think you’re in trouble, since it has strike invincibility during its entire startup.

It is +3 on block if they are dumb enough to remain standing for the whole thing. Otherwise they can crouch --> reversal.

I’m starting to get reading the frame data but I’m confused on a bunch of things like how stance canceling would effect the numbers. I see that some people do a wave crest right after stance canceling from cl st.HP or cl st.MP for a frame trap. How can you tell from the frame data how much block advantage from a normal you’re in after stance canceling? Just want to understand as much information as possible from these charts. I’m a newbie at reading frame data.

you can’t really tell from the frame data how cancelling normals works in this game, ESPECIALLY chain/stance cancelling them.

at least, i can’t tell. i’ve tried a few different ways of calculating it but my tests never seem to match my expectations.
