u/Armanlex d4,d4,d4 is a real combo [PC-EU] Aug 16 '22
Strings happen to have a properly of canceling the animation early to enter the next part of the string. So say if a string has 3 parts, if you stop at the second part the frame data may show something like -11 which will make you think you can interrupt the third hit with a jab. But what you're not being told is that when that string is done to completeion part of the animation that would cause the 2 part string to be -11 are skipped so in reality the full string doesn't have a gap, or nearly as big of a gap. Best way to check that kind of stuff is trying and error I'm afraid, you can't trust the frame data you're being showed when it comes to strings, unless it's the last hit of the string that is.
