Credit for frame data goes to SuperDoodleMan.
The raw images were obtained from Stratocaster.
I made the gifs and compiled this thread.

Let me know if anything looks incorrect and I'll do my best to update/fix it.

what does IASA mean, and in the standing grab, what is that almost orange color? Also, what is the speciallandinglag in the up-b part.

IASA = Interruptible As Soon As: you'll notice on the first jab, which has a total animation frame count of 17 frames, and its IASA frame on frame 16, which means during the 17 frame animation you can Interrupt (jab) As Soon As frame 16 to start doing another move. It's basically saving you one frame in this case. 1 frame isn't very much but utilt, and usmash both have IASA frames start 7 frames before the total animation finishes, which is about as much lag as a fast aerial. So it really adds up and increases your combo chance by quite a bit.

Now I understand how those weird backwards fairs happen.

Look at that hitbox above and kinda behind her!

This may be a bump, but I was wondering if the creator of this thread had any frame data on Sheik's techs and her wall jump.

Dang, why does that utilt have to cover a whole semicircle. It even hits BEHIND her on the ground a bit. O_O

As a Falcon main Uptilt disgusts me
Lolz, doesn't Falcon have a similar utilt w/ much better knockback and a better low hitbox that's great for gimping?

What are the frames on her throws? When is the first frame that the enemy can act after being dthrown?
The throw hitstun is going to be hugely character and percentage dependent. However, the uses and combo opportunities of them (esp NTSC dthrow) have been explored for years, so your options from it are well known.

KK has a really good post on what to do against Marth stickied, which should give you an idea of what can be done, although that changes between characters.

Throw hitstun is not character dependent, btw. Percentage dependent only.

Throw frame data is hard because a lot of throws take longer or shorter based on the opponent's weight. Try Fox's uthrow against Bowser and compare it to against G&W or Puff, for instance.

Don't know much about exact frame data (Strong Bad seems to be the expert in those), but I have a general idea for what Sheik can do off of dthrow on all the cast. On fast fallers, it's dthrow>tech chase. "Normals" (like herself), dthrow CG dependent on DI or dthrow>ftilt. Floaties, dthrow>fair/uair depending on DI

Every character's walljump is invincible frame 1-14.

What are the invincibility frames on Up-B when it's used from the air when recovering? In my experience, it doesn't seem like I'm invincible after frame 18 like I am when I use it from the ground as shown in the gif.

Anyone got the frame data for jc grab and boost grab?
Uhhh, you seem to be new, so I'll clue you in. The frame data for a JC grab should be the same as a standing grab (+ 1 or 2 frames for the cancelled jumpsquat), since that's basically what a JC grab is......a regular standing grab.

can we get get up attack hitboxes added to this thread?
You too...
Wall jump: Invincible frame 1-14. IASA: 1
Tech data here.
It also has get-up frame data.

This character is so broken.

I didn't know D smash didn't hit behind her on the first hit box.

That up-b frame data is really helpful. Now I know when to hit her in the face. . .
