Glossary [GLS]
Hit Stun - This refers to the amount of time of frames it takes you to recover after being hit by a certain attack. This, combined with recovery time, is what determines whether or not an attacker will have enough frame advantage after an attack to execute a link. Hit stun is calculated in Smash Bros. as: FLOOR[(0.4)*Knockback]

Block Stun - the term block stun is used to refer to three different things: The first and most rare is to refer to the delay after a player ceases to press the shield button before the player can move again. The second is the delay before a player can perform another move after successfully blocking a move. The third is the delay before a player can perform another move if the opponent blocked his move. This is calculated in Smash Bros. as: FLOOR((damage + 4.45)/2.235)

Knockback - the measure of how far an attack sends its target. In this table it's displayed as Base Knock Back / Knockback Growth or Base KB/ Weight KB/ KB Growth. Base knockback is the minimum amount of knockback the attack can deliver (in normal circumstances), and knockback growth is a factor that controls how much the knockback increases as damage increases.
*Values in brackets denote different values present in multiple hit bubbles.

Angle - Direction in which the player is sent from an attack or throw. A 365° angle is the Auto Link Angle and will send the opponent in the same direction as the player. A 361° angle is the Sakurai Angle and will send all aerial opponents 45°. Any angle between 260° and 280° is classified as a meteor. Any angle above 361° is classified as a spike, with the exception of the Auto Link Angle

Startup - the time or frames it takes for a character to enter a state in which the attack actually hits after leaving its neutral state. The shorter the time, the better.

Active - the amount of frames that actively hits the opponent

Recovery - the amount of frames that must pass after active frames when returning to your neutral position.

IASA - or Interruptibility is the ability to begin a new action even though the current action's animation has not yet finished.

Frame Advantage - A move which allows the player to recover before his opponent leaves either hit stun on hit or block stun on block is considered to have frame advantage in those areas. Moves that enjoy frame advantage on hit are often used in links to perform combos, while moves that enjoy frame advantage on block are often used as pokes.
On Block = Block Stun-(Active+Recovery)
On Hit = Hit Stun -(Active+Recovery)
*All values are based on the target's damage percent being 0%.

I'm pretty new to technical play, so maybe this question doesn't help most people, but I have to inquire about something odd that stands out to me in this data.

Why is it b-air and blaster have the same knockback (growth) and angle, yet blaster very certainly does not have the knockback of b-air during gameplay? By the numbers, it seems either b-air shouldn't really move the opponent much at all, or blaster should be able to kill as strongly as b-air does.

One factor you are not taking account is damage. Even though back air and a laser share the same KBG and BKB, they do not share the same damage.
If back air did about 3 damage, then it would do about the same knockback as a laser.

Another factor not shown in the thread is WDSK, which lasers have set to 5. This is the factor that controls knockback based on the opponent's weight. When a move has WDSK, it deals the same knockback across all percentages.

If it's the same as melee (which i am almost completely sure it is), Falco's jumpsquat lasts 5 frames so he is airborne on frame 6.
I know some Melee characters were given an extra frame to their jump squat, so I wasn't sure if Falco was given one, too.

Jackson is correct. Falco's jump squat is five frames and he is in the air on frame six.

You're refering to some physics delay thing that is different between melee and pm. I don't remember the exact details but its something like pm doesn't consider you airborne on frame 5 so you can still do something like jc grab on frame 5, while in melee its doesn't let you for some reason
