Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire/Spiritual Kung-Fu Jackie/KFM

Fists of Fire Version - KFM Overview

You're getting better!

Intro

Also commonly known as "Dragonball Jackie" (due to his iconic attack animation) or "Five Animal Fists Jackie" (referring to the martial arts style he uses). In the movie Spiritual Kung Fu, Yi-Lang (Jackie Chan's character) learns the Five Style Fists fighting style from the ghosts of five previous masters. After a thief stole a book about a deadly style of Kung Fu from his temple's library, Yi-Lang uses this new technique to defend his school.

Dragonball Jackie's normals are mostly unremarkable; his standing normals tend to whiff on crouching opponents, so he mostly uses 2LK to start his confirms, chaining into 2LP and ending with Crush Kick on block or Tiger Fist on hit. Crush Kick is a very safe move for dealing chip damage, and also deals significant stun; it can hop over many low pokes, forcing the opponent to change their neutral options. Tiger Fist, while unsafe on block, does great damage in combos and can occasionally be thrown out randomly to catch an extended attack hurtbox. Notably, he has no invincible reversals, and no Desperation attack when at low health.

As a boss character, Dragonball Jackie is not selectable without using cheats. He becomes a selectable opponent after defeating two of the six main characters in Arcade mode.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Fast movement speed Can stun in one combo if he gets a good punish opportunity Tiger Fist does incredible damage for a special move Crush Kick is a great special move for safely chipping the opponent Also is airborne and can hop over many low pokes Short crouching hurtbox makes many moves whiff against him	Most attacks are highs that whiff on crouchers Combo routes are very limited, and ending with safe 236K gives no knockdown Anti-airs options are generally weak and vary significantly based on spacing No invincible reversal options No Desperation attack when at low health

Frame Data Info (click to expand)
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
Stun	Stun damage of the attack, not accounting for any scaling (light normals do not have any stun scaling). Throws never deal stun. 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
Guard	The way a move must be guarded against. Throw = Cannot be blocked Overhead = Must be blocked standing Low = Must be blocked crouching. Mid = Can be blocked both standing and crouching. High = Can be blocked standing, whiffs against crouching. Note: In Kung Fu Master, crouching hurtboxes vary significantly between characters, and between offensive crouch/crouch block. For high attacks, specific details about how the move interacts with crouchers will be noted in the description.
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 High attack 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).
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. 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. HKD = Hard Knockdown (opponent lies on the ground for a couple seconds, allowing ample time to set up positioning) SKD = Soft Knockdown (opponent rises shortly after landing)
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.
Special Cancel	The ability to cancel the animation of a normal attack into a special/super move. Specials cannot be cancelled into supers like in some other games. Command normals can also never be special cancelled.
Attribute	Self-chain = 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, and after hitstop/blockstop if it connects) (slow) means the self-chain must be delayed until the move's recovery (all active frames must pass, including residual active frames that occur after hitstop/blockstop) No-Chain = Normal attack that cannot be chained into another normal Airborne = Attack puts the user in the air, making them immune to throws, and hits will cause an air reset. 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. Crossup = Attack must be blocked in the opposite direction if it connects behind the opponent
Hitstun Type	This property is noted in the move description when applicable. 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.

Damage/Stun is currently unavailable until a training lua script is made.
When describing hitbox interactions, "crouching" means holding down or down/forward, while "crouch blocking" means holding down back.
Hitting a crouching button may further alter a character's hurtbox, but this is not taken into consideration.
