Samus IASA Project

[Rohins]

I've been working on a video showing Samus' IASA frames. Here is some data that I collected so far:

Jab1      - 19
Jab2      - 45 (including frames for jab1)
Ftilt     - 35
Dtilt     - 41
Utilt     - 42
Fsmash    - 50
Dsmash    - 54
Usmash    - 58

This number represents the first frame the shield will show up if you hold shield input during the animation of the move. This is assuming that frame 1 is the first frame you see when you press an input. You can subtract 1 from these values if you want to refer to that frame as frame 0.

I will update the video and the data as I do more work on this. Next update will likely be Jan 24th or Feb 1st.

Awesome! Can't wait for the rest.

Interesting. Seems the lady's a tad laggy.

So Ftilt IS better than dtilt.

Sad that she is so bad though

Really, really nice. Thanks so much.

Are you sure she's slower than the average character? I'm not so sure, seems about average. And yes, f-tilt is my bread and butter attack for good reason.
What is the shield lag when not perfect shielded? It's the time difference between impact and the opponent being able to do something out of shield that is most relevant. At mid-distance I feel I can f-tilt at will, with no punish possible short of a perfect shield, it would be good to know if this is in fact true.

Also, if you could please confirm: there are clearly IASA frames on shield dodge - can Samus actually remain completely invincible in the air with properly timed dodges? I'm still not sure if there is a small window or not.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Do you think I should speed up the frames? Right now I am doing 1 second per frame, probably a bit excessive.

I can also correlate the hitbox frame data we have from Dantarion info. I think showing the active frames in the video would be nice to give some relevance to those numbers. Unfortunate we don't know about the hitbox sizes. That will come in time I'm sure.
