Hey guys, short story is I'm a long time 2D (Capcom, SNK, etc) fighting game vet, except for MK, where my experience is limited. I do love the MK series if that makes sense though lol.
Anyways I get frame data for the games I've been playing forever---but I can't for the life of me figure out the frame data in this game. It has been a long time since I properly used frame data....so maybe I've just forgotten how to use it? I will admit---I'm ASSUMING this game is using the same engine as MK9, so the system for using frame data in IGAU is the same. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Example: I main Green Lantern (Huge fan), right now I'm in training mode looking at his basic attacks. His F2 says "Hit Advantage: 22." This means, when I hit my opponent with F2, I get 22 frames of advantage/22 frames where I can act before him, no? And on block, it says, "Block Advantage: 2" meaning if he blocks the attack, I can act 2 frames before him (And negative would me he acts that many frames before me).
So how come I can't do F2, hit, then link a standing 1 (Which has 7 frames of start up). Also, I've definitely forgotten this, but does 7 frame start up mean, hits on frame 7, or hits on frame 8?
Now, I played MK9 at launch and tried my best to learn the MK system. One thing I thought I noticed, was that you...can't link moves?? Is this the reason I can't land 1 after a F2 hit? I noticed that characters can block if I tried linking, but they can't do anything else other than that during hitstun...or something x____x
If this is all in the wrong section, forgive me.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
