Intro

JP Name: サム

Sam Wong, also known as Ming-Sing Wong, was the coordinator for Jackie Chan's stunt team for several years. He worked with Jackie in films such as The Legend of Drunken Master, Thunderbolt, City Hunter, and more. In Fists of Fire he fights using Kung-Fu.

Sam has a rushdown playstyle, using his quick dash to mix up with his advantageous standing LP and throw. He struggles to land significant damage on crouching opponents, which forces him to open up the opponent far more often than most characters in order to win a round. If he does land a standing hit, he has the option to use high-execution combo extensions that can kill some opponents in a single sequence.

Strengths

Weaknesses

High damage potential vs. cornered or standing opponents Rekkas give safe chip damage and a decent mixup Strong jab pressure into tick throws Rekkas and Super are good for punishing many attacks that are usually harder to punish Sam's hurtbox during crouching hitstun shrinks, making some combos drop (i.e. Admiral 41236P, Thorsten 46K)

Very few options against crouching characters Poor range on his normals and his main combo special Buttons have few active frames, so his anti-airs and counterpokes are weak Difficult and highly situational combos Terrible wakeup game--no reversal options; Getup LK whiffs against crouchers, while Getup HK is very unsafe Overhead is incredibly slow to hit crouchers, giving little incentive for Sam's opponent to ever stop crouching

Frame Data Info (click to expand)
Startup	The number of frames it takes for a move to become active. If this value is lower than the opponent's Hit Adv or Block Adv, it can be used to punish that move if it is in range. If a second value is listed in (parentheses), the move hits later during its active frames (i.e. a 2-hit overhead where the first hit whiffs vs. crouching).
Active	The number of frames that an attack's hitbox remains active. The first active frame overlaps with the final startup frame. Attacks with multiple hits are separated by an asterisk (*) if there is no gap between hits, or by a number in (parentheses) denoting the number of frames between active hitboxes. --Example 1: 3*5 = 3 active frames (1st hit), 5 active frames (2nd hit) --Example 2: 2(5)4 = 2 active frames, 5f gap, 4 active frames For attacks with long, complex sets of active frames, the description will explain the details and the Active column will simply display the total number of active frames. Attacks with more active frames are more effective as pokes and anti-airs.
Recovery	The number of frames that a character cannot act after startup and active frames have passed. For airborne attacks, recovery may be listed as 'X + Y land', where X+Y is the total recovery and Y is the number of grounded recovery frames (which allows the character to be thrown or punished with a grounded combo).
Guard	The way a move must be guarded against. High = Can be blocked standing, whiffs against crouching. Mid = Can be blocked both standing and crouching. Low = Must be blocked crouching. Overhead = Must be blocked standing Throw = Cannot be blocked
Hit Adv	The frame advantage of an attack on hit. 0 means the attacker and defender recover at the same time. A positive number means the attacker recovers before the defender. --Example: A move listed as +4 on Hit may link into a move with 4f Startup. A negative number means the defender recovers before the attacker, and the attack may be punishable. --Example: A move listed as -6 on Hit may be punished by a move with 6f Startup, if it is in range. KD means the attack knocks down if it hits. May also be displayed as a range of values for attacks with significantly different frame advantage when used at different spacing. --Example: A move with '-5 to 3' advantage on hit can be anywhere from -5 to +3 depending on which active frame hits the opponent.
Block Adv	The frame advantage of an attack on block. This includes the final Guard Cancel frame (see the 'reversal' section of the Basic System page for more details) 0 means the attacker and defender recover at the same time. A positive number means the attacker recovers before the defender. A negative number means the defender recovers before the attacker, and the attack may be punishable. --Example: A move listed as -6 on Block may be punished by a move with 6f Startup, if it is in range. Throws cannot be blocked, so the column is left empty in this case. May also be displayed as a range of values for attacks with significantly different frame advantage when used at different spacing. --Example: A move with '-5 to 3' advantage on block can be anywhere from -5 to +3 depending on which active frame hits the opponent.
Damage	Base Damage of the attack, not accounting for scaling or opponent's defense value. Damage for each hit is separated by an asterisk (*) If there are several hits in a row with identical damage, it will be listed as A x B to save space --Example: 4*5x3*8 = 4 damage + 5 damage (3 hits) + 8 damage See Basic System page for details on damage scaling and defense.
Stun	Stun damage of the attack, not accounting for any scaling (light normals do not have any stun scaling). Throws never deal stun. Most characters have a maximum stun threshold of 10240, while Thorsten has 11520 and M. Lion has 12800. Stun damage for each hit is separated by an asterisk (*) If there are several hits in a row with identical stun, it will be listed as A x B to save space --Example: 256*128x3*512 = 256 stun + 128 stun (x3 hits) + 512 stun See Basic System page for details on stun.
Knockdown Timer	KD Timer damage of the attack, not accounting for any scaling (follows normal damage scaling rules). The higher a character's KD Timer value, the longer it takes to wake up after a knockdown. See "Damage" for more information on how to read the values. See Advanced System page for details on KD Timer.
Special Cancel	The ability to cancel the animation of a normal attack into a special/super move. Command normals can never be special cancelled. Specials cannot be cancelled into supers like in some other games. The only special cancellable air normal is Admiral Jackie's j.LP (into Air Dragon Shot).
Attribute	Self = Light normal that can be rapidly chained into itself on hit, block, or whiff. By default, self chains can be input very quickly (after the first active frame, whether it connects or not) (slow) means the self-chain must be delayed until the move's recovery (cannot chain during active frames or hitstop) No-Chain = Normal attack that cannot be chained into another normal OTG = Off The Ground; Attack will connect vs. a knocked down opponent for 25% of its usual damage. Airborne = Attack puts the user in the air, making them immune to throws, and hits will put them into a juggle state. Invincible/Invulnerable = Attack has no hurtbox and cannot be interrupted during these invincibility frames Mashable = Rapidly input buttons/directions for extra hits. For throws, defender can also mash to reduce damage. KD0/Spike = Knockdown Timer set to 0 -- opponent will be knocked down and immediately stand up Backturn = Causes juggled opponent to face the opposite direction, preventing backdash upon landing Crossup = Attack must be blocked in the opposite direction if it connects behind the opponent Squish = Move has a visual effect that flattens and stretches the opponent (no known gameplay effect)
Hitstun Type	Against standing opponents, attacks can inflict two types of reeling animations. They are referred to as High and Mid hitstun because it usually (but not always) correlates with High attacks vs. Mid/Low attacks. The hitstun reeling animation can affect combo routes due to different hurtbox widths. Crouching opponents always have the same reeling animation regardless of attack.

2LP	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 4 3 8 Mid +8 +6 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 4 512 64 Y Self-chain Mid Lowest pushback combo normal, important for hitconfirming

2HP	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 2 23 High +1 -2 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 20 1280 320 Y - Mid Useful for combos against standing opponents, but very short range

2LK	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 2 17 Low 0 -2 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 12 768 192 Y OTG Mid Has a lot of pushback for a 2LK, making it hard to use effectively in pressure Compared to most light attacks, it has a bit more range and damage but much more recovery

2HK	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 10 2 23 Mid +1 -2 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 24 1536 384 N - Mid Awful move with a ton of pushback, no range, and no special cancel. Has a decent AA hitbox for mid-far range jumps, but has few active frames, hits too far forward for close jumps, and is very unrewarding on hit

Air Normals

j.LP Neutral/Diagonal Neutral/Diagonal	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 9 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 8 512 128 - - Mid Decent hitbox; best followup chain is usually j.HP

j.HP Neutral/Diagonal Neutral/Diagonal	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 6 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 24 1024 384 - Spike, Squish Mid Similar hitbox to j.LP Chains into j.HK whiff, so there is no mixup between double overhead and overhead-low

j.LK Diagonal Diagonal	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 9 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 9 768 144 - Crossup High Fairly small crossup hitbox combined with a very floaty jump Niche application as an ambiguous back jump crossup when the opponent rolls out of the corner

nj.LK Neutral Neutral	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 9 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 9 768 144 - - High No practical application, other jump normals are more useful in any relevant context

j.HK Diagonal Diagonal	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 10 7 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 28 1024 448 - Crossup, Spike, Squish Mid Slow startup and doesn't reach very far downward, making it hard to land close to the ground As a result, it's not very useful in jump chains

nj.HK Neutral Neutral	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 6 - Overhead - - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 28 1792 448 - - High Hitbox is an okay air-to-air, but usually can't be followed up; Sam's slow jump makes it risky to use like this

HP Throw	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 1 - - Throw KD - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 32 0 512 - - - Can lead to juggle near the corner and is easier to dash up for OTGs, making it the preferred option generally Because Sam has two throws, he can plink 6HP~6HK (or 4HP~4HK) to increase the timing window for a reversal throw Range: 56

HK Throw	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 1 - - Throw KD - Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 32 0 512 - - - Animation bounces Sam backward for a long distance, making followups worse with no other advantages Because Sam has two throws, he can plink 6HP~6HK (or 4HP~4HK) to increase the timing window for a reversal throw Range: 56

Wakeup/Knockdown

Getup Attack Detailed Info (click to expand)

• Getup LK or HK must be input within a specific 16 frame window during the wakeup animation.
• The exact timing of this window varies by character and by whether it was a neutral wakeup or forward/back roll.
• During these 16 frames, the final LK or HK input will decide which version comes out. If LK and HK are input simultaneously, Getup LK takes priority.
• The Getup Attack will always come out on the first frame after the 16 frame input window, regardless of when it was input.
• For some characters, there is very little time between the end of the 16 frame Getup Attack window and the end of recovery, making it difficult to input a reversal move with LK or HK, so be mindful of this if you get accidental Getup Attacks.
• After inputting a Getup Attack, any special move input that occurs afterward will automatically be buffered until the attack animation has ended. This means that it's important to stop mashing directions on wakeup once the Getup Attack window is active, as you may get an unexpected special move way after it was input.

Getup LK	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 6 9 19 High KD -5 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 32 2048 512 - Invincible 1-5f - Not very useful, as crouching beats both getup attacks

Getup HK	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 3 9 26 Low KD -12 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 32 2048 512 - Invincible 1-2f, OTG - Since a knowledgeable opponent is likely to low block, this isn't very useful unless they go for meaties Recovery starts in a crouching state, but the last 7 frames of recovery are standing

Hurtboxes/Hitstun

Standing (L High)	Standing (H High)	Crouching
Standing (L Mid)	Standing (H Mid)	Juggle State
Standing Blockstun	Crouching Blockstun	OTG State

"High" and "Mid" hitstun types do not always correspond to the attack's Guard Level (i.e. how it must be blocked). Low attacks on standing characters generally fall under the "Mid" category for example. The purpose of this table is to understand where the hurtboxes are when a character is reeling from an attack, which helps understand why certain sequences will hit or whiff. Attacks have 2 main types of hitstun they can do to grounded opponents, with further slight differences between light/heavy attacks.
Note: The lua console lists the following memory values for hitstun types:
L High = 26, H High = 27, L Mid = 29, H Mid = 30, Crouching = 32
