[0:00] one very important tool you need to know
[0:02] about that is Frame data the startup
[0:05] frame is how basically how long it takes
[0:08] that move to connect all right Kim's
[0:10] standing light punch is it takes four
[0:13] frames for that move to connect heavy
[0:14] punch it takes 10 frames for that mode
[0:16] to connect I.E the light punch is going
[0:18] to connect faster because it is a lower
[0:20] number now that's really what you need
[0:22] to know about startup frames this is
[0:23] going to be important when we start
[0:24] talking about how to build combos you
[0:26] need to know about what your moves are
[0:27] on block all right when you throw out
[0:30] the light punch you are negative one on
[0:33] block there is not a move in this game
[0:34] that is faster than four so no matter
[0:36] what he does he cannot punish that
[0:40] light kick cannot be punished standing
[0:43] medium kick however is negative five if
[0:45] I don't space this out enough I can be
[0:48] punished so let me give you an example
[0:49] of what that looks like standing light
[0:52] punch as we saw before was negative one
[0:54] on block his fastest frame which is four
[0:57] frames cannot punish that the standing
[1:00] medium kick is negative five on block so
[1:03] where you can punish that you need to be
[1:06] careful about what buttons you're
[1:07] throwing out in the neutral and if you
[1:10] really want to find out if you don't
[1:12] want to study numbers just do that what
[1:15] buttons If I space this he can't punish
[1:17] you you see that it has to be space the
[1:20] next thing to think about is how many
[1:21] frames do you get on hit
[1:24] let's see the standing light punch is
[1:26] four on hit which means I can use any
[1:29] move that has a startup of four or
[1:32] faster which there's not in this game in
[1:34] order to make that combo now the
[1:36] crouching light punch has an advantage
[1:39] of five frames light kick which is also
[1:42] five frames so if I take this button I
[1:44] link that two hits on the side that's a
[1:47] combo
[1:49] and then now you're getting something
[1:51] like that so it's very important right
[1:54] here this heavy punch is only three I
[1:56] don't have anything faster than four
[1:57] frames but I could take that into a
[2:01] special cancel that right there
[2:03] special cancel that into something else
[2:07] another thing to remember when you're
[2:10] looking at Frame data I talk about this
[2:13] all the time when you start with the
[2:15] drive Rush all your moves are plus four
[2:17] so originally medium punch is four on
[2:20] block you come in you hit this button
[2:22] now you're eight which means you can
[2:24] press any button that is eight frames or
[2:28] faster
[2:29] as you can see just a simple combo does
[2:32] not optimize the standing medium kick is
[2:35] eight frames so if I come in and start
[2:38] with this button I can do the standing
[2:41] medium kick Target combo delts is eight
[2:43] frames Crouch heavy punch so I can come
[2:45] in here cancel that go into a combo so
[2:49] just remember that frames they really
[2:52] are all about numbers but if you're
[2:54] struggling with a character and you're
[2:56] trying to figure out how do I build
[2:57] these combos you just need to see
[2:59] whether it's my advantage on hit and you
[3:02] link that to the startup frames if you
[3:05] don't want to get punished you're going
[3:07] to see what is
[3:09] my advantage on block
[3:12] and literally you can just make him do
[3:13] this and you're gonna see if I have a
[3:16] move that is negative three frames or
[3:19] lower that is absolutely safe on block
[3:20] if it's not you just have to space it
[3:23] out like against medium kick here
