Is it necessary?
posted to the public at 7:02 PM on Friday Jan 6, 2012
Ok just curious. In order to be a great or top level player, is it really necessary to know everything there is about frame data? Or can one make it far playing off reads and just having somewhat of a general idea and knowledge of frame data?

What do you guyz think?

lol no, just knowing some basic info about frame data is enough.

No, but it helps. Being able to read frames in game is a pretty important skill.

The more you play, the more you will get the gist of each's characters moves and their frame data.
Then you can attack accordingly.

I know the frames mentally because I played the game a lot, I know how far peoples moves go.

I think, you should just have fun with it.

Alright lol for the most part I do know all the characters moves and how far they go and what not. but from some the stuff ive seen, and heard, frame data can get some what deep. Also there has been times where players explained why certain things happen because of this frame and that frame. An I would just have that "what the ****" face goin on.

lol man, hope this blog wasnt a stupid question :/

Researching frame data has helped me think outside of the box moreso than just "knowing". Everyone is different though.

It's not a stupid question at all.

Yeah I pretty much just have and keep a general understanding of frame data, and play off the usual like reads, and just having good reaction time. but thx everyone.

@Goldman sachs and freddie mac: thx
