Guard and crouching/rising frames.

[Wandrian]

I just realized: I have absolutely no idea about these. It's abundantly clear even to me that there's a delay to dropping your guard even if nothing touches you(specifically when nothing actually touches you) and the same for crouching as well as getting out of a crouch, but what are these? I'm very curious if there's some way I could make my bad habits less dangerous :x

How is it clear to you that there's a delay to dropping guard when nothing touches you...? I'm pretty sure there's no delay.
I have no idea how long it takes to go from crouching to standing position, but it's not important.

If you want to do 6A, it will work whether you are standing or crouching, so you don't need to care.
Same goes for any double tap, including 11A, 22A, 33A.
If you want to perform a standing 1A or 3A while you are crouching, just forget about it and use another move instead. Again, no reason to care how long it takes, because it takes way too long anyway.

You also should not want to perform neutral attacks after you were crouching for any reason.

If you blocked an attack that forces you to crouch, knowing how long it takes to get back to standing should once again not matter, because you should probably block or sidestep what's coming next since it will beat almost any attack you try to use.


Could you give some examples where you think knowing the rising speed would be beneficial?

Aw, yeah. I must've been confused by lag. Oh well.

If in a neutral position going from FC to WS takes 1 frame (vice-versa). If an attack puts you in FC you'll have to deal with it's block-stun properties. There isn't a delay to dropping your guard either, the animation just makes it seem slower than what it is.
