Game mechanics/Frame data

PSOBB runs at 30fps. Combo is the frame data when this attack is not the ending step of a combo. Full is the frame data when the combo ends on this attack. Heavy and Special are the same unless explicitly marked.

Calculating a Combo

Examples using HUmar frame data:

Handgun N: N1(Full) = 27 = 27f total

Handgun NNN: N1(Combo) + N2(Combo) + N3(Full) = 14 + 11 + 19 = 44f total

Handgun NH: N1(Combo) + H2(Full) = 14 + 30 = 44f total

Photon Blast

Startup for the first player is 61 frames. Players chaining will join the first player for however many startup frames were left.

Twins is 255 frames, all other PBs are 254. Two PB chains are 404 frames.

HP Drain

Weapon	Frames
Psycho Wand (any spell)	15
Lavis Blade (first drain)	20
Lavis Cannon	21
Raikiri, Orotiagito	22
Gal Wind	23
Soul Banish	23+1*
Double Cannon, Girasole	25
Lavis Blade (second drain)	27

* Soul Banish drains on frame 23 but adds one additional frame to the collapse animation

Total time to revive with a scape doll:

(time to drain) + 7f (collapsing) + 119f (dead) + 70f (reviving) + 1f (standing but cannot act)

So for example, with lavis blade, it would be 20+7+119+70+1 = 217f total, or 7.23 seconds for a full retrap.
