Prejump	Number of frames before a character becomes airborne from a jump, during which they are throw invincible but cannot block.
Backdash	Number of frames this move is in a recovery state before returning to neutral.
ComboRate	Affects how much damage scaling in a combo - the larger the percentage, the more damage.

Startup	Number of frames for this move to reach the first active frame (includes the first active frame).
Active	Number of active frames in this attack. Values in () are for gaps between hits of an attack.
Recovery	Number of frames this move is in a recovery state before returning to neutral.
OnBlock	After blocking this attack, how soon can the attacker move compared to the defender. A positive value means the attacker can move first. A negative value means the defender can move first.

• 5A and 2A can only be done a max of 3 times per string total.

For example, 2A > 5A > 2A work, but 5A > 2A > 5A > 2A will not.

• 5C can only be done a max of one time per string total.

X = X is available on hit or block

X^[-] = X is available only on hit

X^[+] = X is available on whiff

X^[2] = X can be done twice per string, but can not go from X > Y > X

For example, 5B > 2B > 5B does not work, but 5B > 2B > 5C > 5B and 5B > 5C > 5B do work.

Special = Skill Attacks, Hops, and Furious Actions

Super = SP Skill Attacks
