A question about frame mechanics.

    VFDC guide says:
    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">...The chart above shows 11 frames of Execution. But this actually represents a 12 frame punch. Why isn't this an 11 frame punch? The answer is because hit detection doesn't begin until the 12th frame where the attack becomes Active. It's a subtle, but important detail, especially when you're analysing the frame data from a number of attacks in series or parallel. </div></div>
    But in stradegy part:
    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> +11: Middle Weight [P] attacks typically execute in 11f and are guaranteed. </div></div>
    How an attack, which active frames start on 12th frame, can be guaranteed at +11? Somene plaese explain it to me before my brain explodes.

    The first quote - refers to a 12 Frame Punch

    The second quote - refers to a 11 Frame Punch

    If the chart in the first quote was made the same way for the 11 frame Punch, then the chart would show only 10 Frames of Execution with the 11th frame listed as Active.

    Here, in the begining of the video, Brad gets -15 on block, then Kage does an attack with 15 frames of execution(as shown on the table). Does that mean that the table shows the first active frame and not the number of execution frames? Or does that attack have 14 frames of execution?

    Kage's attack has 14 frames of "startup", but it makes no sense to refer to it as a 14 frame attack because it can't hit anything until the 15th frame. This is why it's known as 15 frame attack, as it's shown in the video.

    All "execution" speeds are really just in the form of:

    Execution = Startup + 1

    I may one day update the guide so that the term "execution" is less ambiguous.

    The term execution isn't ambiguous. It states the time taken for the move to execute; that is, become active.

    Seems pretty clear and I can't think of a better term to use in its place.

    Another question in a similar nature. In the VF5 FS master guide, it has frame data for execution for strings.

    For example, Akira [P] is i12
    Akira [P][P] is i12
    Akira [P][K] is i14

    What does the frame data for second hits in a string mean? I've done extended frame data in Tekken for second hits of a string, but I've always referenced the initial input. What is the reference point to say that [P][K] is i14?

    I think it means when it changes the animation of the first attack to the execution of the second attack. So if their is no delay in your inputs the second hit from [P][P] (12i+?+12i) would likely contact at 24th frame or later. The ? is variable depending on delay input or no delay input.

    I agree with you, however, I was referring to the ambiguity in the guide -- if you refer to the Attack Properties section, I referred to "execution" as the start-up phase. That is, I show a 12 frame punch as having 11 frames of "execution".

    I'm in the process of updating the guide for FS, so this will be something I'll address / tidy up then.
