ATTENTION

The Dream Cancel LB2 wiki maintainers decided to standardize how startup is counted. My startup values do not include the first active frame. I’ll update my data to match when I get a chance.

Sources

• All frame and damage data below is data I’ve collected
• If not otherwise specified, data was taken using:
  • FBNeo v0.2.97.44-54 (alpha version)
  • fbneo-training-mode.lua
  • MVS Asia/Europe ver. 6 BIOS
  • ROM set 0.2.97.44 lastbld2.zip (sha256sum 7a227510f39d1202486e1d225ae6fab52d361f5416d83f6221892c3fdf52b6e5)
  • ROM set 0.2.97.44 neogeo.zip (sha256sum 7ad38b3c1815c61c54b81557c46c962bb3eb9e101ad5e564a71d476e6deabde5)
  • Silent FC2 BIOS update neogeo.zip (sha256sum 36a47cf50a585cafc812e19ef7646ad1556a5de90440d9dcb06f373926cd68ea)
  • Stages known to not lag (Blue Sky, Batlefield, Elephant?, Forest, Yuki-Machi)
  • Versus mode, not the built-in training mode

Frame Data

* 28C seems to have higher input priority as it comes out on frame 1 of the inputted C instead of the usual frame 2 for special attacks

** Teleport 623A/B/C startup is frames until hurtbox is removed (invulnerable on frame 7)

Link Windows

Notes

• Unteched anti-air hits can be air thrown safely if you can reach them
• In the rare case that someone crosses you up then back rolls towads you they are strike vulnerable to 4B juggles and can be air grabbed
• Throw direction is the same is input direction
• Fall speed seems to be uniform across the cast so there’s no difference in combo timing
• Hurtbox size doesn’t seem to matter much, might make juggling big bodies slightly easier
• Amano, Juzoh, Kojiroh, Shigen, and Okina all have quirks in their falling or wallbounce falling animations, some familiarization in juggling these characters is useful
• Juggle arcs vary by launcher, spacing, opponent jump state and height so practice until reacting to those differences feels natural is useful
• Yuki fireball removes OTG state
• Amano falling animation looks lower than it is, fall speed seems to be the same
• Juzoh and Shigen wallbounce falling animation looks higher (looks like they’re well above ground then suddenly they hit the ground) than it is but normal falling looks normal
• Kojiroh wallbounce falling animation looks slightly lower than it is but normal falling looks normal
• Mukuro, Okina, and Lee wake up rolls are airborne and predictable attempts can be punished with jCD
• Rice Patty Demon Dicer 8A followup bounces you straight into the air, hitting multiple times on the way down. Has extra ground recovery frames.
• Rice Patty Demon Dicer Mari Koroge C follow-up to roll in place and do damage if someone walks into you
• You can switch Mari Koroge roll direction by holding both buttons then releasing the previous button
• The jump follow-up to Astro-Revolve only requires you hold D and press 8 or 9 or hold 8 or 9 and press D. No need to do a fast 28. 7D does not work.
• 421C scrambles buttons, does not disable specials
• Changing Troll counters mids and highs but loses to lows and supers
• If you use 63214C, try for the kill or for a knockdown just before 10 seconds from the input to avoid punishment
