Frame Advantage On Block Calculator
Signed on-block frame advantage from actual same-hit-frame blockstun/recovery measurements; hitstop and game-specific rules external.
Description
Frame Advantage On Block Calculator: return signed frame advantage.
Frame advantage compares when the defender and attacker recover after a blocked action. The sign identifies which declared recovery ends first.
This tool returns signed frame advantage. Use the stated units and model convention when interpreting these fields.
When to use this tool
Use this tool when the supplied inputs match the specific operation described above and you need a repeatable result under its stated convention.
- Check the supported input and output contract against an existing calculation or observation.
- Use the complete example to confirm units, selector spelling and result interpretation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter every field in the input table using the stated units and the exact supported selector spelling where applicable.
- Run the tool. Correct input errors before interpreting an output.
- Read the result fields below; use accompanying flags and the stated sign, boundary or model convention when interpreting a number.

| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| defenderBlockstunFrames | Defender blockstun frames. | Integer; from 0 to 1000000 inclusive |
| attackerRemainingRecoveryFrames | Attacker remaining recovery frames. | Integer; from 0 to 1000000 inclusive |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the following named result fields. |
| result.signedFrameAdvantage | Signed frame advantage; use the stated units and sign convention. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The tool uses nonnegative integer frame counts and omits spacing, hitstop, follow-ups and game-specific mechanics.
- Every declared field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; input errors are distinct from a valid false result or an explicitly qualified output.
- Extremely large inputs and nonfinite or excessively large outputs are rejected. List positions reported by the tool use zero-based indices unless stated otherwise.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the underlying observations, units and conventions independently before using the result in a larger workflow. The tools listed below address nearby tasks; compare their inputs and scope before substituting one for this operation.
