Anyway, very informative yung post. ^_^ Nice.

pogi pogi pogi pogita1!

hmm eh pano nman ung frame chart, game physics etc..

di ko magets ung tracking eh.. pag tracking ang isang move gaano ka laki ang hitting range pra tumama sa hitbox ng kalaban?

tracking rin ba tawag dun sa mga strings na kahit na sidestepan mo hahabulin ka pa? (obviously tracking pero sinisugrado ko lng )

at wla pa ba official frame data chart? pra malaman ko kung ilang frames kelangan para maka sidestep, defense modifier, at hitbox ng character. hirap rin kasi ng sa laban mo sinusubukan eh XD matatalo ka ng mtatalo lolzzzzzzzzz

FRAME DATA PLEASE!!

frame chart... um jabs are 10 frames. (cept for ganryu's.. which are twelve). hopkicks are 15. ewgf's are 13~16 frames. more frames = slower animation.

tracking falls under hitbox, ang theory ko kaya hitbox tawag is dahil pixels yun e. but anyhoo... para madifferentiate lang talaga... hitbox = high mid or low. tracking = left, right or both. jabs have 0 tracking, and are high. generic d/f+1's are mid, but 0 tracking pa rin. (by generic i mean ung usually meron lahat, i.e d/b+1) special mids are the worst since you can block them mid or low, and even low-parry some.

As for limbs, elbows and knees are generally unparryable (see marduk's d+4), pero some reversals work.

I still don't know ilang frames exactly kelangan para makasidestep completely (as opposed to sidewalking). but alam ko dinicrease nila by two frames ung recovery from BT (or backturned)... which explains why di na gumagana ung tipong jump over opponent, BT d+1 into WS launcher sa oki.
