[POscrub]

Small correction: Head stomp whiffed should be Devil's Reverse without tapping, and Devil Reverse without tapping should become Vega Warp (Teleport) Teleport is all recovery, hence the 全.

For the *'s associated with the active frames of headstomp, should be "until landing".

For the *'s associated with the recovery of headstomp, etc. it should be after landing, or landing + X (frames of recovery)

Fun stuff:

All of Bison's moves charge in 55F. No more had to psycho crusher because I didn't have charge for Scissors.

Pretty interesting that LK Super is so much faster than the others. One of the few supers where the strength makes a visible difference? Madness.

[DS]

Done and done. Thanks a lot. Just notify me if anything needs to be changed.

[Kisou]

What do the () in the active/hitting frames indicate? (ie. Scissor kicks = 2(1)4)) Invincibility?

[noodleman]

it means pause between the hits most likely. so 2 hits frames, follow by a 1 frame of no hit frames, then 4 more hit frames for the second hit.

[Anakron]

cr.strong is too fresh!

[Desk]

^^very, very, very useful. Thanks for that dude.

[noodleman]

kinda strange that they decided to keep bison grounded for most of the scissor kicks....there's only 4 airborn frames....

kinda confirms that he can be thrown out of scissors (not that we needed it).

[Ultima]

Thanks a lot Deathscythe and POScrub.

A couple queries:

Am I reading this right: c.LP gives +5 on hit, and c.MK's startup is 5. Shouldn't that link be impossible then? The way I've always read frame data, for a move with 5 startup to link, you need at least +6 HA, cause the move only starts to hit on frame 6. So what gives here?

Also, I'm a bit confused by the terms "puts opponent in jugglable state" and "can juggle". I have a vague idea, but I'd appreciate a better explanation. Especially with regard to Bison's moves, cause I'm really not sure what putting an opponent into juggleable state means with regard to his Psycho Crusher and his Scissors Kick.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

[noodleman]

maybe it was cr.lp on counter hit? I always do cr.lp, close st.lp, cr.mk xx scissors.

[Ultima]

noodleman:

One of my main crossup combos with Bison is j.MK, c.lp x 2, c.MK, Scissors Kick. 6 hit combo. No CH on c.LP.

Difference in standards. Frame data in column format seems to take startup to be first active frame occurs on frame X. So it'd be X-1 frames of startup. See Guilty Gear, Hokuto no Ken mooks, etc. CvS2 had those coloured bars which represented length. So yes going by this notation, +5 is good enough to link a listed 5 startup move. Go figure.

As for the juggles thing, same example as the other thread. First hit of Bison's j. MP, you can juggle anything you want after it. Do the 2nd hit, and only certain moves will juggle. So it's a list of moves that can put people in this special state, and moves that can juggle them once they're in. Not feeling particularly creative, so if you can figure out a better way to express it, I'm all for it.

[SiMan]

So how does "juggleable state" apply to psycho crusher and scissors etc?

Cheers for all the great info guys!

[Ultima]

POScrub re: data

I have several mooks with frame data, and there's nothing in there to suggest a difference in standards to me, so I still don't get it. :(

As for the juggle thing, I understand the j.MP, j/MPx2 difference. But as SiMan asked, how does that relate to Psycho Crusher and Scissors Kick (and Devil Reverse)? According to the description, this means I can follow up Psycho Crusher and Scissors Kicks with moves "that can juggle" like EX Psycho Crusher? So, Devil Reverse -> EX Psycho Crusher will work then?

Oh, another question I forgot to ask: According to the data, there are three variants to everyone's super, but for the most part, only based on start up?What purpose does this serve?

EDIT:

Okay, I think I got it now, re: frame data. If Gief's SPD is listed as 2 start up, it means here that it's active on frame 2, which means it really has 1F start up the way it's commonly used. In other words, we might want to consider subtracting 1 from everyone's start up to keep it consistent with the way we normally calculate things. Or at least make a note of it in the frame data write ups.

[SiMan]

What does 1+*11 mean for ultra startup btw?

Cheers

[noodleman]

the * is the ultra flash, where he does his throat slit motion before the hits come. so there's 1 frame before the flash, the flash happens, then 11 frames of start up after the flash.

[Tizoc]

Is it me or do BOTH Ultra and Super do about the same amount of damage?

[noodleman]

yup. the ultra listed is when the bar is 50% full. full ultra does 1.5x damage, so it's 360x1.5 = 540.

[Tizoc]

Thanks for clearing it up. Huh this reminds me of RB2 where P. Powers do just a little bit more damage than S. Powers. ...except that P. Powers are usually easy to combo into for big damage.

[Arlieth Tralare]

Man, this juggle list is weird as hell. In the Master Guide it says Dictator's juggle-state (launcher) attacks are Hell Attack (j.MP-MP) and EX Head Press (Mid-Air Hit). But for juggle attacks themselves, it ONLY lists EX Skull Diver and his Ultra. But I know his Hell Attack sets up for a juggle with Psycho Crusher (normal, not EX!). Is this a typo?

[SiMan]

Can anyone explain the startup for level 1 focus attack?

It says on the tabulated section that it has 22 frames startup, but on the side notes it says attack comes out 13 frames after releasing buttons.
And then why do you only have super armour frames 1-10 and 1 after release?

Cheers

[WraithCo]

If you only tap MP+MK, and don't hold the buttons at all, you still get some armor at the start. Roughly the part where Bison is leaning back and getting that big ol' grin on his face. If you don't hold MP+MK, Bison attacks as soon as possible. So the quickest lvl 1 FA that hits has startup 22. But what if you charge it up? If you're holding down the buttons, the startup is delayed by however long you hold down MP+MK. So you can think of an FA being 3 parts

1) Bison has to step back till he's standing straight up. Armored.
2) He's standing straight up, you can hold this part. Armored.
3) Let go of the buttons, and he actually does the punch

part 1 and 3 are fixed in animation length, part 2 is the part you can extend to delay the attack and is armored. If you're into math, work backwards. Part 3 takes 13F. Actual attack has startup 22F. There's a difference of 9F, whichi must be part's 1 and 2. And since the note says armor extends to 1F past part 2, that's where you get 1-10F is armored (for quickest possible FA).

[SiMan]

Sadly I do like maths so that made total sense! Thanks man.

I think it's confusing how they list it having 1-10F super armour etc, assuming you have just pressed MP+MK (ie. not hold them).

So essentially,
level 1 = minimum of 22 frame startup
level 2 = minimum of 30 frame startup
level 3 = 66 frame starup

That right?

[FullMetalRoss]

Man, this juggle list is weird as hell. In the Master Guide it says Dictator's juggle-state (launcher) attacks are Hell Attack (j.MP-MP) and EX Head Press (Mid-Air Hit). But for juggle attacks themselves, it ONLY lists EX Skull Diver and his Ultra. But I know his Hell Attack sets up for a juggle with Psycho Crusher (normal, not EX!). Is this a typo?

I thought it was the fact that when something puts you in juggle state you can juggle most things after it, even attacks taht are none juggle attacks, while other things that are "juggle attacks" can juggle after an attack that doesn't cause the juggle state... or something like that.
