If any frame data is provided it is important
to note that sometimes you can block before you can actually
input a command, this is often the case with minor stuns and
guard breaks. Thus a -12 for example doesn't necessarily mean
you can't block for 12 frames. Most moves with a disadvantage
of 8 or less can be considered safe moves as it takes at least
8 for your opponent to execute a standard jab and in some
cases your opponent will not even be within jab range and
you have to add on whatever amount of frames it take for him
to dash within hitting range |
