Breakthrough - Unbreakable {Updated} EX Aura Cancel Frame Data

October 4th patch update: 123 string got a stealth buff, it has better cancel advantage on block now, and 123 EX Aura is +5 now instead of -5. Great buff. Also fixed F4 cancel number, and added F4 xx Regular Aura advantage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used to think most Sub-zero's good strings canceled into EX Aura are neutral on block, but after thorough labbing I found it's not. The following is the frame data on block off his practical strings/normals canceled into EX Aura:

11: +8
12: +5
123: +5
F4: +19
B12: +3
B33: +5
F33: -6
D4: -4
24: -4
D3: -6

F4 xx Regular Aura: +3


Post October 4 patch: Since armor is now weaker, a sane opponent won't spend his meter armoring after your plus frames just to deal ~12% while taking ~5% himself. And you can cancel your blockstrings into ice burst, which is safe now with pushback. Should be a useful strategy.

Outside f4, nothing other than 11 xx EX Aura into standing 1 jails, but the + frames are enough for Unbreakable to use parry if you read their armor attempt. With EX Aura up, if you make the wrong read your punishment will be smaller. I hate playing Unbreakable like that, though.


P.S.: There has been a thread about this already, but almost all the data listed there is incorrect, and the guy who made it is banned or something so that thread will never get updated.

Good to see other people testing special cancel data for characters. Good stuff!

Would you mind sharing your method of testing? Not that I'm second guessing you, but I'd like to know how to do this if I go to test cancels in the future.
I used 2 methods: Video analysis - I record a video of the moves then look at stuff frame by frame, and using reversals - see which moves can beat which reversals.

For example, you can do B33 xx EX Aura against Unbreakable. Set the AI to do reversal parry. Reversal parry comes out in 5 frames. You can do B33 xx EX Aura d3, and the d3 (9f) will beat the parry. But if you do standing 2 (10f) it will get parried. You can do the same with Cassie's flip kick, and you'll see that standing 2 will trade with her flip kick (5f reversal). so 10 - 5 = +5

I knew that F4 jailed, but I didn't know there were enough frames for a (frame perfect) 50/50. All hail F4 block cancel. Safe Hammer, safe Iceball, safe regular clone, 50/50 from Ex Aura.

It's pretty awesome. It's not difficult to jail F4 xx EX Aura B2 either. It doesn't feel like a just frame thing.

Oh and btw I think F4 xx Ice Burst is the only uninterruptible ice burst cancel. F4 xx EX Aura, F4 xx Ice Burst does about 5.3% chip damage, if you want to chip your opponent out.

Yeah I've played with that one. Would be sweet if buffed burst was neutral with the aura.

Btw, while you're at it, would you want to test the new Burst/EN Burst with Aura advantage/disadvantage on block? I know EN Burst becomes safe against Reptile's EN Slide, but I haven't gone further than that yet.

Would you be able to get frame data for burst + exburst with aura up?
Working on that as we speak.

I am able to EX Parry Reptile's reversal ex slide after the regular burst. So we're like around -2 if you consider the distance. Haven't been able to parry it regularly.
