Ode to Frame Data (Bust -A-Move)

It does doesn't matter the style of your martial arts fight,
the moves that you have, your weight, size or height.
You can bring Muay Thai, Boxing, or Five Animal Kungfu
None of that stuff is going to save you.

You're going to loose most of the time unless you learn the lesson
of what to do with all 60 frames in a second.
The moves might look smooth, the strings might look sweet
The problem young blood, is your animation is easy to beat.
Count the start up , active and frames needed to recover
The fact that my animation is faster than yours is what you'll discover

Yea, I'm sorry to say its not the martial arts style you're facin
In today's fighting games its all about counting frame animations
Its not the cool stance, or gear that your character wears
Its not the Katas, or combat moves that you're character prepares
Its not the temples or dojos where you and your character train
Sadly, it all comes down to some Frame Advantage your opponent might gain

You put in all that Judo, Kung Fu, and Wrestlin time on the clock
But all that mean's nothin if you're at -24 frames on block
Them Taekwondo, Karate, Mantis moves, you might as well forget
Cause that !@# don't mean nothin if your opponent has +10 frames on hit

Gone are the days when we enjoyed just looking at the stage
When legitimate fighting styles and motion captured moves were all the rage
Gone are the days when we had multiple single player modes to complete
When we picked a fighting technique that we felt was unique
When we used to want to see different martial art styles compete
When we were all but certain our chosen dojo, stances and moves couldn't be beat

Martial Art Styles doesn't matter to today's shot caller
They're perfectly happy with a few gear customizations and a brawler
Today's top player's understand their character's true fate
really only depends on their mastery of the frame rate.

Start up Frames, Active Frames and Recovery Frames Too
Mastering Frame Data advantage is all a top player must really do
To win the majority of all of your games
Just make sure you know how to capitalize on your frames
As long as your negative on block is less than your opponent's knock
You have nothing to fear
And if your negative frames are too much
Avoid your opponent's touch
And Make sure your opponent is not near

Who cares about nice stages and legitimate combat simulation
or bonafide martial art moves
As long as we can count the frame animation
and use frame analysis tools

Forget about character back stories, and fighting style lore
Don't be a multiplayer mode hater
Just learn all you can and then learn some more
on how to win with Frame Data

i love you po

 

Po rappin' shaolin style! Wrd.

 

I think fighting games were made by the logic of boxing or Karate.

With pacing, counter hit, string, punish, jab, uppercut, defense, evade, guard, zoning, footsies...

If no data in fighting games, it would be as stupid as Dragon Ball Xenoverse or Naruto games lol.
