Normals

Standing

  • st. A: 5 Frame startup, +2 Frames on block, Standard jab by all means
  • st. B: 6 Frame startup, -3 Frames on block, Doesn’t hit low, despite animation. General combo filler, can use as an ender for MAX confirms alongside cr. A
  • st. C: 10 Frame startup, -10 Frames on block
  • st. D: 12 Frame startup, -5 Frames on block. Hitbox placement lets it work well as a harder hitting hop anti-air


Close

  • cl. A: 4 Frame startup, +3 Frames on block
  • cl. B: 6 Frame startup, +2 Frames on block
  • cl. C: 5 Frame startup, -3 Frames on block. Same damage as Cl. D, so may as well use this instead due to being slightly safer on block
  • cl. D: 7 Frame startup, -4 Frames on block


Crouching

  • cr. A: 4 Frame startup, -1 Frame on block
  • cr. B: 5 Frame startup, +2 Frames on block. One of Rock’s only lows
  • cr. C: 4 Frame startup, -5 Frames on block. Only really usable as an anti-air
  • cr. D: 9 Frame startup, -7 Frames on block


Jumping

  • j. A: 6 Frame startup
  • j. B: Good to use as air-to-air attack, but whiffs on crouching characters
  • j. C: 9 Frame startup
  • j. D: 6 Frame startup. One of Rock’s go-to normals when jumping in


Blowback

  • st. CD: 19 Frame startup, -4 Frames on block
  • j. CD: 13 Frame startup
