Jab Lag?

Does anyone know how many frames of lag are on the first hit of the A combo? People are saying it comes out on frame 1 everywhere, but no where does it mention (even in Adapt's Indepth Statistics Thread) how many frames of lag are on each of the hits. Also, in general, does the jab cancel into d-tilt combo work on fast falling characters (metaknight, spacies) and not floaties or the other way around?

The first/second jab doesn't really lift people off the ground, (even at 999%) so I don't think it makes a difference whether they are fast falling or not

Instead, lighter characters are affected more by hitstun, so it is more effective on Jiggs/GaW etc

As for ending frames.... No idea, It would be nice to get the info, but I have no way of counting frames. 3GOD was the one who got the frame data in my topic for me.

The first hit on her jab combo is roughly 1/3rd of a second (21.35 frames). So you have about 20 frames of lag time after the initial hit unless you're following up with the next hit.

i got a question, there is this frame between the 2nd hit and 3rd hit from her AAA that someone could shield and grab. that happens to me online. could that happen offline? or its due to lag

Just use the first hit, then use down-tilt because pressing down shortens the lag on the jab I believe.
