New forum category suggestion (or a change to existing ones) for match analysis and general tutorials

[BoJima404]

@rukizzel

Hi, is it possible to have a tutorial section specifically for match analysis, general explanations and tutorial videos.

The purpose is to find this type of information easily. The “General discussion” category and the “Artwork and Video” section are not the best places for important threads like the following:

The Replay and Analysis Thread

Understand Hitboxes and Attack Data in Killer Instinct

Oftentimes, I see questions or general misinformed statements in regards to why "Move X beat Move Y" or things like "That makes no sense, I hit him first!". Having a general understanding as to why certain actions take place within Killer Instinct can overall make you a better player and take your understanding of the mechanics to higher levels. Today, I'm going to break down two important tools, which are available DIRECTLY IN-GAME to help expand your overall KI knowledge, Hitboxes and Attac…

Jump frames

Hi, how many frames do the KI characters take to be considered already "jumping"? I wanted to know that to see if I can avoid a grab when in disadvantage after a block, instead of teching I wanted just to neutral jump and continue my offense (probably even punishing a whiff grab from my opponent). Example, I attacked and am currently -2 onblock, Can I still try to jump? Is this jump coming out before the opponent's throw or will it going to connect?

KI Character Frame Data Spreadsheets Inside

Here's the link: Frame Data Spreadsheet for KI (2013) You can also use: tinyurl.com/KIFrameData and it takes you there as well. Note: You can sort Columns by mousing over the letter at the top, then clicking on the down arrow. Selecting "Sort Sheet A->Z", from this drop down menu, will put lower numbers at the top, and "Z->A" will have higher numbers at the top. The shadow moves aren't final (they are subject to change) because I'm not quite sure how to count the "Freeze" and "Release" fr…

Comparing one-chance damage for the entire cast (UPDATED)

NOW UPDATED FOR 3.5 If anything else is still out of date please let me know In a different topic the subject of one-chance damage across the cast was brought up and I decided it'd be useful to have a chart comparing the one-chance damage for the whole cast. I've updated it to have colors that are much less painful to look at: So, the interesting stuff: For many (most?) characters, damage ender at level 2 is probably never going to be worth using. It's almost always only a few percen…

I think this is an awesome idea! Give us a section the forums dedicated to helping one another. It could hold threads about tutoring, people seeking training partners, How To videos, Strategy guides, Frame Data charts, all sorts of things!

Other important ones added to OP.

Please @rukizzel
The very important topics listed in OP were started by individuals from our community and these tend to get lost in the General discussion and other sections. If you hadn’t seen something initially, there is only a small chance that you’ll come across it again.

Proud to be in this topic

I support this motion

This would help people tremendously! I’m all for this!

I like the way you think, @BoJima404! +1!

Also, if we’re just stacking up community-made info threads…

Here's the frame data for all dashes in the game

Hey guys, someone asked for frame data on all the dashes in the game, so I went ahead and did that tonight because, hey, why not. Notes: I will list the data as “x, y” where x is the forward dash’s total frames and y is the backdash’s total frames. On every backdash in the game, you’re supposed to be invincible to everything for the first 7 frames, and then additionally throw invincible for 4 more frames (up to and including frame 11). From frame 12 and on, you can be hit by everything. I call …

Comparing shadow linker damage for the whole cast

Did another chart for damage values across the cast, this time for shadow linkers. I also included some non-linker moves like shadow fireballs that can be used in place of linkers. No enders are in this chart. Please keep in mind that these are all the linker versions of these moves when applicable. Some shadow linkers don't do the same as their shadow opener version. Notable stuff: I've been curious about this for a while and now I know: for non-double moves, PD is built at a rate of 1 …

…well, here’s a few more! Now in addition to most of these threads, I’ve bookmarked THIS thread as a sort of compendium.

But for real, we could use a subforum for this stuff. Right under the NEWS subforum link on the main page. FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFFZ, THE BRAIN FOOD STUFFZ.
@rukizzel Please oh please oh pleasy squeezy let this happen sooner rather than later!

Just one thing:

Make it the second category, second to General.

Visibility =win

[Fwufikins]

That sounds like a good idea. Though it may make the Bug Thread even less visible, and we’d have to tell even more people “No, don’t make a new thread for this, there’s a big Bug Reporting Thread”
Though I think having a spot to place some of the most important topics (besides the Hot Topics sidebar) could rectify that. Have Infil’s Guide, the Bug Thread, and whatever the latest news is up top where they’re easy to see.

Thanks!

@BoJima404, it 's an excellent idea!
