View table: SF6_FrameData

No invincibility; Super-priority projectile hitboxes; button strength determines distance (LP close/mid range, MP mid range to full screen, HP full screen); poisons the opponent on hit; creates a pool that lasts 700f, poisoning opponent while in close proximity; reapplies poison as long as opponent is close to pool; pool placement depends on button strength used; poison pool moves forward after MP/HP versions; SA2 poison pool can exist simultaneously with 214MP pool (poison does not stack); MP version can be used to counter projectiles (if too far, may drop out; if too close, A.K.I. will be hit before projectile dissipates); heavier versions can whiff if used from close range, especially vs. crouching; opponent cannot Drive Reversal until the 2nd to last hit (right before poison detonation)

Farthest trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; first 2 hits will whiff on crouching opponents (less damage, chip, Drive Dmg); can link naturally into 2LP for a follow-up combo; pushback on block keeps A.K.I. out of throw range but also weakens her Burnout pressure

Strike hitbox (no projectile durability); poisons opponent on hit; puts opponent into limited juggle state; extended arm is projectile invincible 13-21f; useful combo and juggle tool; relatively safe blockstring ender, but can whiff in cancels outside close range; can get significantly better frame advantage on a late meaty connect (up to +4 on block); leaves a 2f blockstring gap when canceled from 5LK, or a 4f gap (trade combo) when canceled from 2LP; 6f hitconfirm window into SA3 refers to 2nd hit only

Hold left/right to steer trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits on non-cinematic version; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; goes into grab animation on a grounded hit for full damage and follow-up oki, but 3rd/4th hits can get a non-cinematic hit late in the active frames (400~640 damage); poisons opponent on hit (cinematic or non-cinematic); puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle OTG state (KD +51~58); Super cancel works only on non-cinematic version; SA2 cancel will not combo unless LP version lands as a counter-hit or Punish Counter

Shortest trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; first 2 hits will whiff on crouching opponents (less damage, chip, Drive Dmg)

Slow-moving 1-hit projectile; can be extremely plus on hit/block from longer ranges or when used with meaty timing; poisons the opponent on hit; extended arm hurtbox is projectile invincible 16-41f; 6P follow-up can be input on frames 30-36 (detonates bubble if it hasn't yet collided with opponent); cancelable into 236KK from frame 36 until end of recovery (can help avoid punishes or advance forward for pressure)

Poisons opponent on hit; refers to the non-burst version (projectile dissipates, causing the whip to strike the opponent rather than the bubble); [] refers to data when whip connects during Toxic Blossom, causing a limited juggle state; the whip is a 1-hit projectile that will detonate the 214LP bubble if still active on-screen (despite being a projectile, a perfect parry gives screen freeze like a strike); at close range, there is a 1f gap between the projectile and whip on block (can be delayed to create frame traps from farther ranges)

Poisons opponent on hit; striking the bubble projectile before it makes contact with the opponent causes it to burst, dealing more damage; the burst itself is a large stationary 1-hit projectile hitbox with 6 active frames

Medium trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; first 2 hits will whiff on crouching opponents (less damage, chip, Drive Dmg)

Places a pool of poison on the ground that poisons the opponent; poison cannot be blocked, and is constantly reapplied as long as the opponent is in close proximity; cannot use another 214MP until the first one has dissipated (can exist alongside SA2 poison pool, but the poison damage does not stack between them); A.K.I. is in a counter-hit state for entire 46f attack animation

Slow-moving 2-hit OD projectile; can be extremely plus on block from longer ranges or when used with meaty timing; poisons the opponent on hit; 2nd hit knocks opponent into limited juggle state; extended arm hurtbox is projectile invincible 16-36f; 6P follow-up can be input on frames 34-35 (detonates bubble if both hits haven't yet collided with opponent); cancelable into 236KK on frames 32-33 (can help avoid punishes)

Poisons opponent on hit; refers to the non-burst version (projectile dissipates, causing the whip to strike the opponent rather than the bubble); [] refers to data when whip connects during Toxic Blossom; the whip is a projectile that will detonate the 214PP bubble if still active on-screen (despite being a projectile, a perfect parry gives screen freeze like a strike)

Poisons opponent on hit; striking the bubble projectile before it makes contact with the opponent causes it to burst, dealing more damage; the burst itself is a large stationary 2-hit OD projectile hitbox; damage/chip/KD Advantage are changed if only 1 hit of the detonation connects on opponent (this can happen when detonating from max range, or immediately after the first hit of 214PP connects); opponent is launched higher on hit, allowing follow-up juggles (much more juggle potential if only the 1 hit of 214PP Burst connects)

Poisons opponent on hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up; transition to a cinematic on hit; very short horizontal range; if SA1 trades with a projectile right as it hits, opponent will be launched into a high limited juggle float state, allowing a follow-up juggle

Cannot hit cross-up; cinematic time regenerates ~2.2 Drive bars for A.K.I.

Cannot hit cross-up; available at 25% HP or below; cinematic time regenerates ~2.2 Drive bars for A.K.I.

Can switch sides with opponent (cross-up version usually has a fixed 23f recovery after passing through; total time depends on distance from opponent); at a very specific spacing, A.K.I. can cross-up with 43f move duration (extremely ambiguous left/right mixup); counter-hit state for entire move duration; projectile invincibility lasts longer on cross-up version; semi-low profile 11-17f (crouch height); crouching state 17f until end of recovery; low profile 18f until end of recovery; collision box disappears 20-31f to allow cross-up; Distance: 3.18 (3.84 cross-up)

Strike hitbox (no projectile clash); poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] causes a higher launch on hit; no head hurtbox on frames 4-8; semi-low profile 9-30f (crouch height); only 1st active frame can realistically hit grounded opponents at close range; can anti-air vs. cross-ups; sets up a strong safe jump on non-TB hit midscreen or in the corner (must use cross-up j.2HP if opponent does not back rise midscreen)

Entire animation is vulnerable to Punish Counter Throws; crouching state 17f until end of recovery; Same-side version: 42f total animation, 8 recovery frames at the end that are vulnerable to strikes; Cross-up version: the entire animation is strike/projectile invincible; total duration of cross-up version depends on distance from opponent (23f fixed recovery time after passing through); collision box disappears 7-33f to allow cross-up; Distance: 4.06 (3.52 cross-up)

Feint (starts moving forward before retreating); counter-hit state for entire move duration; 8-13f semi-low profile (crouch height); 14-37f low profile; 14-36f crouching state (4f forced standing after recovery unless a crouching attack is input); Distance: -0.965

Strike hitbox with 1-hit projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] hit launches opponent into a limited juggle state (can follow up with corner 236HP from close range); 6f extra recovery on whiff; slightly better frame advantage from longer ranges; extended arm is projectile invincible 13-16f; sets up a strong corner safe jump on Toxic Blossom hit but requires sacrificing the extra juggle; Punish Counter crumple puts opponent into limited juggle state (cannot follow up with grounded combo); Toxic Blossom PC juggle gives much stronger juggle follow-ups midscreen

Stays on same side; counter-hit state for entire move duration; semi-low profile (crouch height) 9-15f and 39f; crouching state 14f until end of recovery; low profile 16-38f; Distance: 1.94

Strike hitbox with 1-hit projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] causes limited juggle crumple state on grounded hit, and a higher juggle (KD +60~72) on airborne hit; cannot hit crouching opponents (close-range hitbox can hit extended vertical hurtbox); can hit standing opponents from close range only; has a good anti-air hitbox but slow startup; sets up a strong corner safe jump on non-TB hit

Strike hitbox with 1-hit OD projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; A.K.I. pulls herself toward opponent on hit (fully invincible during pull animation); [Toxic Blossom] causes crumple on grounded hit (+5 before opponent becomes airborne, or +9 on Punish Counter) and resets the juggle counter vs. airborne opponents (free juggle state); only the [Toxic Blossom] follow-up is Super cancelable; slightly better block advantage if spaced out (cannot hit on final active frame in neutral, as hitbox doesn't move after 4th active frame); extended arm is projectile invincible 20-25f (great anti-projectile tool due to speed and range); Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through the follow-up hit; mid-combo damage scaling does not apply to Toxic Blossom version

Upper body and kicking leg are anti-air invuln 10-15f (during active frames); decent anti-air but cannot hit cross-up; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; Punish Counter puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; has high juggle potential, causing an air reset; extended hurtbox 1f before active is vulnerable to projectiles; Super cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

Hitbox does not move during active frames (cannot space to make it safer in neutral); very disjointed hitbox, but easily punished in neutral; has some juggle potential (not a Hard Knockdown when juggled into)

Chains into 2LP/2LK; highest range light normal, can be used in 4-hit blockstrings and to stuff grounded approaches

Chains into 2LP/2LK (true blockstring into 2LP); Sinister Slide cancel: +3/-2; topmost hurtbox on frames 1-5 is vulnerable only to aerial attacks, preventing its use as an anti-air

Solid low poke that can be buffered into Super or linked into light normals; good option out of Drive Rush, granting block advantage and a link into 5HK or 5MK

Sinister Slide cancel: +10/+6; combo/buffer tool with good range; topmost hurtbox on frames 1-21 is vulnerable only to aerial attacks, preventing its use as an anti-air

Semi-low profile 10-15f (crouch height); low profile 16-197f; Cancelable into follow-ups after 11f; can input up to exit stance after 28f (stance exit takes 21f on its own); automatically exits stance after 216f if no input is made (no low profile or projectile invincibility)

Can be input after 28f of Sinister Slide; maintains low profile 1-10f and semi-low profile 11-21f (crouch height); fastest total Stance + Exit time is 49f; shortest Slide~Exit travel distance: 0.78

During Sinister Slide; 3f extra recovery on whiff; low profile 1-15f, semi-low profile 16-27f, crouch-sized hurtbox 28-35f; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through both hits; good combo tool that is also safe on block; both hits put airborne opponent into limited juggle state; 15f hitconfirm window into SA3 refers to 2nd hit only

During Sinister Slide; () refer to Punish Counter damage; good range but slow startup

During Sinister Slide; poisons the opponent on hit; triggers Toxic Blossom for a crumple state vs. grounded opponents, or a tumbling OTG state vs. airborne opponents; low profile 1-17f; low crush 20-31f; good anti-zoning tool, but can lose to slower projectiles at some ranges; sets up high damage punish combos (but does not combo naturally when canceled from any grounded normals)

Relatively slow overhead that leads to combos with meaty timing or Drive Rush

Side switch; after corner side switch, can dash + microwalk for a pseudo throw loop or Drive Rush for a true strike/throw mixup; can get true throw oki vs. wide characters (1f timing vs. Marisa, 2f timing vs. Blanka/E.Honda/Zangief); midscreen, can chase down with Drive Rush into a manually timed ranged button like 2MK

"Isn't he wonderful? Ahhh~"; "Ugh, you're a trifling little pest." bubbles have a large projectile hitbox behind A.K.I.; if popped, A.K.I. says a second line and enters a different recovery animation; puts opponent into limited juggle state

Forces stand on hit; active frames 3-4 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; important combo and juggle tool (combos into 2PP~K naturally, and 2PP~P on Punish Counter); staggers opponent on grounded Punish Counter and launches into a high limited juggle state on airborne Punish Counter; good anti-air on frames 10-12 but cannot hit cross-up; head hurtbox is anti-air invuln 5-12f; kicking leg and upper body hurtbox is anti-air invuln on frame 10-12; extends a hurtbox 1f before active that is vulnerable to projectiles; Sinister Slide cancel: +15/+8; DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

Very good poke that can avoid some low attacks; hitconfirmable into 5HP~HP Target Combo, which is especially strong vs. poisoned opponents

5f extra recovery on block; poisons the opponent on hit; triggers Toxic Blossom, launching opponent into limited juggle state; always a true blockstring even at max delay; hitconfirmable from 5HP

Sinister Slide cancel: +6/0; DR cancel is delayed until after 1st recovery frame

2 extra recovery frames on whiff; useful poke and combo starter

2 extra recovery frames on whiff; Sinister Slide cancel: +9/+3; moves A.K.I. forward; useful combo tool after 5MK or in counter-hit routes but does not combo into 236PP; high active frame count makes it useful as a meaty (up to +7/+1); special/DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

"The master's prized poison... ahh, a perfect, beautiful, most brilliantly crafted poison! Now you'll get a taste."; builds 1 bar of Super gauge after 411f (1000 Super gauge on frames 303, 324, 346, 363, 383, then 5000 Super gauge on frame 411)

8f extra recovery on whiff; Low Crush 11-26f (not airborne); 1st hit puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (2nd hit causes air reset); excellent pressure tool, especially using Drive Rush forward momentum; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through both hits

1f extra recovery on whiff; great poke that is safe on block due to pushback; hitconfirmable into Super

Performed by inputting 6HPHK during blockstun; 5f extra recovery on hit; freezes the screen for 4f during startup; see Drive Reversal.

Performed by holding 6HPHK on wakeup; 5f extra recovery on hit; does not have any screen freeze; see Drive Reversal.

"Time for some experimentation... I bet poison would work wonders on you."

See Drive Impact. Airborne connect gives spinning juggle state on Punish Counter or corner Wall Splat with variable height.

During forward jump only; can only hit as a cross-up; causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents

Good jump-in that doesn't extend hurtbox as much as j.HP

Causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; strong jump-in that doesn't extend hurtbox before active frames

Cross-up; good air-to-air (A.K.I.'s longest horizontal jump-in)

Can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead

Solid jump-in attack; can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead (opponent must be in Burnout for true blockstring)

Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; useful air-to-air but aims very high; shifts A.K.I.'s hurtbox upward during startup

Can walk 16-17f for a corner throw loop (strict timing to beat 4f normals); 1f more lenient vs. Marisa and 2f more lenient vs. Blanka/E.Honda/Zangief

See Drive Parry. Perfect Parrying has only 1F of recovery and disables the opponent from canceling their attack. Perfect Parrying projectiles puts you into fixed 11 frames of recovery. After a Perfect Parry, all Super Gauge gain is reduced by 20% and Drive Gauge gain/damage is reduced by 50% for the entire punish combo.

See Drive Rush; 3-bar version performed on hit/block from a cancelable normal; can also be performed on whiff from cancelable light normals; startup refers to minimum time before an attack can cancel the Drive Rush animation; the first 15 recovery frames are cancelabe into any attack; the final 22 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack or movement option or blocking (except Parry); only Normal and Command Normal attacks are enhanced with +4 frame advantage and improved juggle properties

See Drive Rush; 1-bar version performed out of a Parry; startup refers to minimum time before an attack can cancel the Drive Rush animation (if performed immediately after a successful Parry, only 1+8 startup); the first 15 recovery frames are cancelabe into any attack; the final 22 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack or movement option or blocking (except Parry); only Normal and Command Normal attacks are enhanced with +4 frame advantage and improved juggle properties; Distance: 0.907 (min/throw), 2.437 (min/block), 4.049 (max/final DR frame)

Shin Akuma only (Back Taunt~Down Taunt); teleports above opponent from anywhere on screen; 3f less recovery on whiff or Perfect Parry; startup is functionally 9f on grounded opponents (10f vs. standard-height crouchers); much less KD advantage and 2f more recovery vs. airborne opponents; cannot be canceled into from OD specials like other Level 2 Supers; cannot be beaten with anti-air invincibility since Akuma is fully invuln and technically never goes airborne

Sends the opponent tumbling ~1/3 screen; causes wallsplat near corner (unless 214PP~6P wallsplat occurred earlier in the combo); the cinematic resets the opponent's juggle counter, allowing a follow-up wallsplat juggle regardless of previous juggle state; wallsplat is similar to Drive Impact, allowing moves to juggle that normally would not be possible; close-range opponent cannot jump away after the Super freeze to avoid chip damage

6f extra recovery on block/whiff; can hit crouching opponents; upward angle, primarily used as a juggle ender for damage and corner carry

2f extra recovery on whiff; extra advantage on Punish Counter (+12) makes it a strong shimmy tool; 6P follow-up is a true blockstring even at max delay; can be spaced in neutral for +1f better advantage (very precise); foot hurtbox is pulled back on frames 6-18 (can make low attacks whiff)

Cannot come out on whiff; true blockstring from 214HP even at max delay; puts opponents into limited juggle state with follow-up juggles possible in the corner

Whiffs on crouching opponents; if 1st hit is stand blocked, opponent can crouch block after 2nd hit resulting in much worse disadvantage; cannot hit cross-up; puts opponent into limited juggle state (combos into 623LP/MP/PP); performs final kick on hit only

6f extra recovery on block/whiff; whiffs on crouching opponents (for consistency, cancel from 5MK or 2HP); cannot hit cross-up; puts opponent into limited juggle state; allows juggle into 623P (close range), 2HK (safe jump setup), or any Super

6P follow-up is a true blockstring even at max delay; can be spaced in neutral for +1f better advantage (very precise); foot hurtbox is pulled back on frames 6-12 (can make low attacks whiff); only version of 214P that can combo from 2LP/5LK

4f extra recovery on block; cannot come out on whiff; true blockstring from 214LP even at max delay; keeps opponent grounded for strike/throw mixup (requires microwalk if midscreen)

2 hits; whiffs on crouching opponents; cannot hit cross-up; puts opponent into limited juggle state (follow-up requires higher juggle connect, like after wallsplat); 2nd hit has 3f worse KD advantage; -28 oB refers to fuzzy guard scenario where 1st hit can connect vs. crouch block

3f extra recovery on whiff; extra advantage on Punish Counter (+10) makes it a strong shimmy tool; 6P follow-up is a true blockstring even at max delay; can be spaced in neutral for +1f better advantage (very precise); foot hurtbox is pulled back on frames 6-15 (can make low attacks whiff)

Cannot come out on whiff; true blockstring from 214MP even at max delay; puts opponents into limited juggle state

Can be spaced in neutral for +2f better advantage (very precise); grounded Punish Counter crumple is +16 before opponent becomes airborne; foot hurtbox is pulled back on frames 6-14 (can make low attacks whiff); combos from Punish Counter 5LK/2LP

() refers to scaled damage from 214PP combo starter; 6f extra recovery on block; cannot come out on whiff; true blockstring from 214PP even at max delay; sends opponent to the edge of the screen for a wallsplat unless SA2 wallsplat occurred earlier in the combo (much less KD advantage, around +26~33); grounded wallsplat puts opponent into free juggle state (limited juggle state vs. airborne); allows a follow-up juggle if near the corner; KD advantage varies significantly depending on distance from corner

Shin Akuma only (Back Taunt~Down Taunt); 9-hit Super projectile with a massive vertical hitbox; cannot be canceled into from OD specials like other Level 2 Supers; puts opponent into limited juggle state (but very difficult to launch high enough for a follow-up)

Cinematic time regenerates ~1.9 Drive bars for Akuma; close-range opponent cannot jump away after the Super freeze to avoid chip damage; only 2f startup when canceled from 623P/214P/214P~6P; leaves opponent in range for microwalk 6HP pressure or Drive Rush oki

Available at 25% HP or below; cinematic time regenerates ~2.3 Drive bars for Akuma; close-range opponent cannot jump away after the Super freeze to avoid chip damage; only 2f startup when canceled from 623P/214P/214P~6P; leaves opponent in range for microwalk 6HP pressure or Drive Rush oki

5-hit Super projectile; projectile speed is not affected by button strength; can be used while OD projectiles are on-screen; slower startup allows opponents (except Dhalsim/Lily/Zangief) to avoid with a jump after the screen freeze

1-hit projectile; fastest movement speed and startup but slowest recovery; can hold button to charge fireball to a higher level for more hits (25f for Lv.2, 49f for Lv.3); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; slight hurtbox extension on legs from frame 12~ and on arms (projectile invuln) from frame 14~

Button strength determines trajectory (LK short, MK mid, HK far); counter-hit state for entire duration; cancelable into follow-ups on frames 18-40; on frame 41, automatically transitions to Demon Low Slash (or Demon Swoop if holding Down)

Tracks opponent's location regardless of distance; counter-hit state for entire duration; cancelable into follow-ups on frames 16-40 (16-38 for Fireball/Tatsu follow-ups); on frame 41, automatically transitions to Demon Low Slash (or Demon Swoop if holding Down)

Acts like an empty jump (with the same 45f duration) that puts Akuma point blank; 5f extra landing recovery when crossing over opponent; useful for baiting opponent's Drive Impact or Parry; must be inputting any Down direction on frame 41 of 236KK; cannot block during landing recovery, and Akuma is in a counter-hit state for entire duration; crouching state on final recovery frame

Can be input on frame 16-38 of 236KK (unless Gou Hadoken is on-screen); does not consume additional Drive gauge; cannot hit cross-up or against grounded opponents; stops Akuma's air momentum; performs final kick on hit only, which slams opponent down into a limited juggle OTG state; KD advantage depends on how high it connects (useful after 4HK launch, allowing most juggle enders to combo); Akuma is in a crouching state on frames 4-10 of landing recovery; lower foot/leg hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

3-hit OD projectile; can be input on frame 16-38 of 236KK (unless Gou Hadoken is on-screen); does not consume additional Drive gauge; dissipates if Akuma is hit; creates stationary projectile on frames 6-20, then shoots downward at ~50 degree angle (this projectile will only have 2 hits if the initial hitbox collided with opponent); on hit only, landing recovery after 2f is cancelable into any action except walking/jumping; projectile hitbox is considered an airborne attack (can be avoided with anti-air invuln moves); puts airborne opponents into free juggle state (or maintains existing juggle state); puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; advantage varies significantly depending on timing/spacing/angle; foot hurtbox is projectile invuln 1f~land

5f extra recovery on whiff; button strength determines angle (LK short, MK mid, HK far); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (or maintains juggle state if used mid-combo); extends a large projectile invincible hurtbox on frame 11 until landing (making the divekick easier to anti-air while still being useful for avoiding fireballs)
