Edit: Don't worry guys, I figured it out myself
So basically heavy/light armor is figured out by knockback (we already knew this!), but it's directly tied to how much knockback they receive.
At the end of a typical match, the game will record a max launcher speed (which is basically the games description of knockback), and heavy armor obvs is tied to this
To find out what launcher speed your heavy/medium/light armor will absorb, simply divide the heavy armor resistance by 0.031!
Example: Ike's 200 KB Heavy Armor will absorb attacks that deal under 200/0.031 = ~6450 units per 1000 frames.
Meanwhile DK's 80 KB Heavy Armor will absorb attacks that deal under 80/0.031 = ~ 2580 units per 1000 frames!
It's worth noting that 6450 units per 1000 frames is quite a lot! It's enough to kill most characters if they're not DI'ing optimally, while 2580 is enough to intercept most attacks at low percentages!
. I played Van in a good amount of dittos when I went there for magfest and I won every ditto except one(though they were all late at night and he clearly wasn't playing his best haha). I'll be streaming a big smashfest this Sat with players like Metroid/Ripple/Darkatma if you want to see some Lucario action
