STOP getting punished!! Beginners Guide to Frame Data | Street Fighter 6

[00:00] one very important tool you need to know

[00:02] about that is Frame data the startup

[00:05] frame is how basically how long it takes

[00:08] that move to connect all right Kim's

[00:10] standing light punch is it takes four

[00:13] frames for that move to connect heavy

[00:14] punch it takes 10 frames for that mode

[00:16] to connect I.E the light punch is going

[00:18] to connect faster because it is a lower

[00:20] number now that's really what you need

[00:22] to know about startup frames this is

[00:23] going to be important when we start

[00:24] talking about how to build combos you

[00:26] need to know about what your moves are

[00:27] on block all right when you throw out

[00:30] the light punch you are negative one on

[00:33] block there is not a move in this game

[00:34] that is faster than four so no matter

[00:36] what he does he cannot punish that

[00:40] light kick cannot be punished standing

[00:43] medium kick however is negative five if

[00:45] I don't space this out enough I can be

[00:48] punished so let me give you an example

[00:49] of what that looks like standing light

[00:52] punch as we saw before was negative one

[00:54] on block his fastest frame which is four

[00:57] frames cannot punish that the standing

[01:00] medium kick is negative five on block so

[01:03] where you can punish that you need to be

[01:06] careful about what buttons you're

[01:07] throwing out in the neutral and if you

[01:10] really want to find out if you don't

[01:12] want to study numbers just do that what

[01:15] buttons If I space this he can't punish

[01:17] you you see that it has to be space the

[01:20] next thing to think about is how many

[01:21] frames do you get on hit

[01:24] let's see the standing light punch is

[01:26] four on hit which means I can use any

[01:29] move that has a startup of four or

[01:32] faster which there's not in this game in

[01:34] order to make that combo now the

[01:36] crouching light punch has an advantage

[01:39] of five frames light kick which is also

[01:42] five frames so if I take this button I

[01:44] link that two hits on the side that's a

[01:47] combo

[01:49] and then now you're getting something

[01:51] like that so it's very important right

[01:54] here this heavy punch is only three I

[01:56] don't have anything faster than four

[01:57] frames but I could take that into a

[02:01] special cancel that right there

[02:03] special cancel that into something else

[02:07] another thing to remember when you're

[02:10] looking at Frame data I talk about this

[02:13] all the time when you start with the

[02:15] drive Rush all your moves are plus four

[02:17] so originally medium punch is four on

[02:20] block you come in you hit this button

[02:22] now you're eight which means you can

[02:24] press any button that is eight frames or

[02:28] faster

[02:29] as you can see just a simple combo does

[02:32] not optimize the standing medium kick is

[02:35] eight frames so if I come in and start

[02:38] with this button I can do the standing

[02:41] medium kick Target combo delts is eight

[02:43] frames Crouch heavy punch so I can come

[02:45] in here cancel that go into a combo so

[02:49] just remember that frames they really

[02:52] are all about numbers but if you're

[02:54] struggling with a character and you're

[02:56] trying to figure out how do I build

[02:57] these combos you just need to see

[02:59] whether it's my advantage on hit and you

[03:02] link that to the startup frames if you

[03:05] don't want to get punished you're going

[03:07] to see what is

[03:09] my advantage on block

[03:12] and literally you can just make him do

[03:13] this and you're gonna see if I have a

[03:16] move that is negative three frames or

[03:19] lower that is absolutely safe on block

[03:20] if it's not you just have to space it

[03:23] out like against medium kick here
