X/X/X frame data explanation?

Hey everyone, first time poster here. For the most part I understand frame data charts but I still have a couple questions. For reference I'll use Roy's frame data found here: http://kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/Roy .

Under his Aerial Moves section under the base damage/angle/KBG columns what does X/X/X mean? Is this the damage at the base, middle, and tip of the sword? Also, what do the blue numbers mean in comparison to red?

On the topic of KBG, how does this apply in game? If a move has 100 on this value and another has 70, how does this differ?


I really appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks in advance!

The X/Y/Z under ddamage/angle/KBG columns shows the values for each hitbox of the attack. Several of the hitboxes have the same data to make the sweet/sour spots bigger without having the hitboxes become unwieldy.

KBG is how much a move scales with %, I don't know how it functions exactly.

KBG is how a move scales with the opponent's percent.

Say if we have two moves that do 11% damage, and one has 100 KBG and the other has 135 KBG, that means that the 2nd attack increases in power 35% faster than the first attack relative to the opponents percentage.
