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

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 +2 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 4th hit 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)

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 on frames 35-36 (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, 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; hurtbox shifts forward nearly 1 full character length during Super freeze, making it possible to avoid meaty projectiles; 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; 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)

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

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; 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) 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 10-14f (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)

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; very low profile 1-15f, low profile 16-27f, semi-low profile 28-35f (crouch height); 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; Range: 1.59 (from moment of input)

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; can walk or dash for oki after back throwing opponent into corner

"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; 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 hurtbox is anti-air invuln on frame 10; 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)

See Drive Rush. Frame data shown in parentheses refers to the Drive Rush version used from a Parry. Distance: 0.907 (min/throw), 2.437 (min/block), 4.049 (max/final DR frame)

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

"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
