ARMOR PROPERTIES
K. Rool's Armor has the unique property of being able to super armor through many attacks. It has a threshold of damage which it can withstand however.
The threshold is up to
27.9%. Once the armor has received 28% damage in total it will shatter leaving K. Rool vulnerable.
The armor has a variable recovery rate which I believe it based on how much damage it has absorbed.
Testing it out, at Level 1 damage it recovered while standing still in about 25 seconds after withstanding 12%
Recovering from Level 2 damage took much longer taking about 34 seconds after withstanding 24% damage. The 34 seconds was how long it took to drop back to only level 1 damage. More testing will need to be done to figure out if it is time based at a set percentage healed per second or if it has a set timer based on damage level.
At level 3. the armor breaks and K. Rool is left vulnerable.

I believe the levels are as follows
Level 1: 0% - 13.9%
Level 2: 14% - 27.9%
Level 3: 28% +
NOTE: When armoring a move, K. Rool receives 1/2 damage regardless of damage level even if being broken. K. Rool also receives 0 Knockback regardless of damage received.

Do you know around how long it takes for K. Rool to be able to act again out of the crown and blunderbuss? Also I'd be curious how long it takes before he's able to fire the blunderbuss with the cannonball again, as in how long until the cannonball despawns and can be launched from the blunderbuss again.

I will lab it out today and figure it out. He is able to shoot another one before the first completely disipates

Can we get some detailed info on super armor? For example, when it lasts, how much damage it can take, how long it takes to recover, etc.

Just FYI brotendo: You've got Fair listed twice. The bottom one is Dair.

Also: Counter comes out on Frame 4 and lasts until 15. If it misses you're unactionable until frame 68.

Dash Attack hits on frames 7- ~22 (he stops moving mostly on frame 20, so I think this is more useful). During DAttack he covers about 56 units of distance, with 37 of them coming from his belly launch).

Spot dodge is invincible frames 3 - 18. Unactionable until frame 29.

His jump-squat is 3 frames (aerial on frame 4). The kind of jump he does determines how long it takes before he can fastfall:

After short-hopping he can FF on frame 17.
After full-hopping he can FF on frame 22.
After double-jumping he can FF on frame 27.

And finally ledge attack hits on frame 24, regardless of your percentage.

KRool looks dope. Thanks for the insight!
