About Guile

Unique Mechanic

By holding 3, Guile can slowly walk forward while crouching. This can be useful for moving into position to flash kick, or mostly taunting the opponent.

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options. "sp": Special move. "su": Critical art. "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2. "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows	Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter	Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit. Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown	Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
