What is the fastest special in the game?

I am testing some strings on my mains and I need to do it vs some really fast reversals. Who has the fastest move?

-Thanks

I think Reptile's EX slide is now the fastest after the latest patch at 6 frames.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

To be clear it's stated as 6 frames, but factor in reversal and avoiding the one frame of unblocking it may as well be 5 frames...and it goes for a FULL COMBO.

Tempest Kung Lao exSpin - 4f.
Some parries have even faster activation, but you cannot punish with them if you testing that.

As far as I know the reversal cancels out exactly the one unblocking frame, so it'd be still 6 frames. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm?

ya, infra dead is just fear mongering with cassie's flipkick (which is funny, given his latest status update.) ... it's not punishing anything -5. it's coming out on reversal at 6 frames.

exslide from SZ is good to test punish or frame traps with. Thats who i practice my hellfire loops on.

Cassie's Flip though...that's the move you should be testing your cancels on. I know I said this before...but a 5 frame launcher is a big deal right now.
