Frame Data - At the core of every fighting game is the skeletal frame work of mathematics often referred to as frame data. Generally reserved for the super strategic Japanese fighting game books, frame data for the 17 arcade characters has been given a dedicated chapter in the official Street Fighter IV strategy guide.
