Frames Guide

Great guide Myke. Could you link all the command lists to this?

 

That was a really well explained article.

I particularly liked the explanation of meaty attacks, that's something that I'd never thought about before.

 

Hooray I finnally understand frames and how they effect my akira. Awesome article.

 

Good job, Myke.

 

Unsurpassed love for the game. We all appreciate it Myke. Thankyou. /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

Thank you!!! This is a great place and time to start learning and applying knowledge on frame data. A great addition!! MUCH appreciated!!

 

i really like this guide! it applies to pretty much all fighting games, and is a very good reference of how the game engine works.

Only one thing I didn't think fit in is when you mentioned "a low attack will ALWAYS beat a high attack"... ignoring special high attacks, I would change 'low' to 'ducking'... the way it's worded now can be misleading with moves like Brad's and Akira's , and doesn't account for moves like Kage's and Jeffery's .

That's the only thing I could think of. Very well done guide! Thanks Myke

 

this is great. i finally understand why some moves track and some do not. having been from a 2D background, i never quite understood this until now.

btw, in 2D circles at least, the "Hit" time is usually called the "meaty" time. my circle of players still use this term with respect to vf.

 

Late reply but this is a superb bit of work, great for studying the game more. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

That is a great peice. It answered several questions of mine, like why I get hit by Wolf's shoulder after I evade it (I do that a lot). It also explained why my throws sometimes go through a character after I have hit them and they are dazed. I know it is a bit late, but my compliments to the author.

I have just discovered the utility of knowing the hit windows for the various moves. About two weeks ago, I was in free training, when I noticed that Pai's inashi(s) and have a longer hit window than her reversals and . I began using the inashi (I don't know what the plural of "inashi" is) more often and it has helped my win percentage.

Could you post (or tell where I could find) the hit windows, recovery and move durations for the various moves? I am trying to create my own flowchart for Pai, based on the American PS2 version of Evo. I believe that is version B. I need to know the hit windows and recovery times. They are not in the command list. I believe the formula is

Execution + Hit window + Recovery = Duration

The command list only gives 1 of these values whereas we need three at least.
