Spoiler: Notes on Nintendo's Patch Notes Terminology

What Nintendo's official patch notes terms mean:

• "Attack speed" - Startup
• "Power" / "Attack power" - Damage
• "Attack range" - Hitbox size
• "Launch distance" - Base knockback (BKB) and/or Knockback growth (KBG)*
• "Launch angle" - Knockback angle
• "Undamaged launch distance" - Base knockback (BKB)
• "Vulnerability" - Endlag / First active frame (FAF)
• "Vulnerability when Landing" - Landing lag
• "Vulnerability when falling in place" - Crumple state (Ryu & Ken's focus attack, etc)
• "Landing time" - Aerial auto-cancel window
• "Time until launched opponents can move" - Hitstun
• "Hitstun time" - Hitlag
• "Hitstun Shuffle Distance" - SDI multiplier
• "Super armor" - Damage-based armor or knockback-based armor
• "invincibility" - invulnerability frames
• "Hit detection" - Active frames
• "Easier to hit multiple times" - Made hits of a multi-hit move link more reliably

*Nintendo does not always specify if both BKB and KBG have been changed or just one of them when using the term "launch distance."

Durations are in terms of frames. Damage #s are shown without the 1v1 multiplier (1.2x) and are in %.
