@ MrEh , you owe me a harem (jk)

@ Boozer , smd

 

[Boozer]

and on that day, aero san smiled down upon the bowser boards

and it was good

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Also I can take research requests. I main this character anyway so knowledge is always helpful to me, plus this board I know will be appreciative of the research efforts unlike a few other boards.

Better be Bowser Girls.

Oooh, I always wondered whether there was such as thing hard and soft landing deviations with Smash 4 characters. I thought not because it always seemed like 1-3 frames universal, and that they may have just removed the concept. Watching Bowser hard land always made me feel like I was going insane.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Yeah Bowser's hard landing sucks d***.

So does his jumpsquat actually, but it makes him really easy to short hop with!

There's a number of other not-universal things I could add too, like max number of footstools and even item throw strengths.

 

[MagiusNecros]

This frame data is incomplete. We need to know how idiotic and useless Giga Bowser's frame data is. His regular jump is stupid high. Bowser Bomb? Goes nowhere.

I will put this on my to-do list.

Also I need to put FAF values for Side B and Down B. Boozer asked me yesterday but I forgot.

Throws would be nice as well. Even if the only one we care about as far as followups is Uthrow.

low on my priority list





but I can check to see if it got buffed from last patch I guess.

Edit: Uthrow wasn't touched.

 

[Hitman JT]

Looking around at some of the other completed characters, I laughed pretty hard at Lucina's "style."

Also holy **** at frame 4 spotdodge. That explains a lot

 

[Big Sean]

Here's a request that I know is hard. Frame advantage data. To winnow down the list I'd like to see frame advantage for ftilt, dtilt, fair, and bair, all on shield.

Alright.

Also @ Zigsta can I have a sticky

 

[Corgian]

I always wondered why my air dodges always felt like they never came out when I played bowser compared to Fox. I just need to act more preemptively.

There are some other good things there, for one, you can use the hard landing to time buffered shield drops if you just input spotdodge right as you hear his feet touch the ground. Also, Bowser's jump squat can be used as a quick, though brief way to avoid attacks by ducking under them since it's faster than crouching. Speaking of which, I'd like to know how fast Bowser's hurt-box shifting animations are, that might be useful since it could give a more accurate idea of when they could be viable if at all.

 

[Mr. Bones]

I'm a dumb animal. What's "FAF"

 

[Hitman JT]

First actionable frame

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I'm a dumb animal. What's "FAF"

The first frame you can act.

So utilt for example, you can shield/jump/jab/up b/whatever ON frame 41.

Edit: My condolences on being a dumb animal btw.

 

[Mr. Bones]

Oh. SO like IASA. Cheers

 

[KuroganeHammer]

IASA is a dirty word in my household so I don't use it

 

[Jerodak]

I notice that dair has an auto cancel according to the frame data, unless I'm mistaken. I'm guessing it decends too fast normally for that to matter? Could there possibly be a way to make use of it? Like during a slowfall dair perhaps?

I usually auto-cancel slowfall dair to snap to the ledge.

I'm wondering if it could be used to land as well.

Also, how have you been? I was beginning to wonder what happened to you, been blowing it up at any tourneys?

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I use it to land occasionally, people think there's going to be a hitbox there but there isn't.

So its sorta like sonic's auto cancel dair? Alright.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Yeah except harder to get the circumstances to do it and you have 6 frames of landing lag instead of Sonic's 4.

At least the damage and knockback are better, I hope.

Eh not really. Just one in Savannah a couple of months ago. Went through a rough patch and did some couch surfing while poor. But I'm back on the throne now and plan to hit the rest of this year's events. Mostly have been in the lab and learning everything I can.

Alright, well good luck! Looking forward to see what you got.

 

[Zigsta]

@ KuroganeHammer this needs to be updated to include dsmash's new launching angle of 48 as opposed to 60.

Will likely happen once I've finished the 15 or so characters left.

Home stretch~

Posting to say that I've made progress with this by the way.

Soon™ KuroganeHammer will have a DIY shield advantage calculator.

 

[Jerodak]

Time to calculate some frame traps then. (:

 

[MrEh]

Let the jabs commence boys.

 

[a stray cat]

If possible, I'd also like to know advantage/disadvantage on hit as well, but I know that that's a literal ****ton of extra work. I'd love to know, for example, for every character at which point dair or usmash becomes safe on hit.

I'd like to know if nair is ever safe on landing hit -- and if ever there's enough frame advantage for combo followup.

Meh, I'll be bringing my Wii U with me next week to my conference in LA. I should probably lab some of this out, if I have some down time.

This is also planned.

 

[Jerodak]

@ KuroganeHammer you are a true M.V.P, your work is very much appreciated.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I'd love to know, for example, for every character at which point dair or usmash becomes safe on hit.

Just expanding on this regarding usmash, (this helps me test the formulas as well), but Usmash should deal this amount of hitstun (In frames):

20% hit:
Jiggs: 28 frames of hitstun
Mario: 26 frames of hitstun
Bowser: 25 frames of hitstun

I'll go test these and make sure it's correct.

(FYI Hitstun + Hit frame - FAF - 1 SHOULD equal disadvantage on hit... So vs Jiggs that should be -15 on hit at 0%)
