What Frame Data Can I Look Up on TekkenDocs?

Updated

TekkenDocs provides full move lists with frame advantage, in-depth move details, and video clips for each character, so you can look up the exact numbers behind any attack or block. The frame data covers Tekken 8 characters (and Tekken 7, Tekken Tag 2 rosters), and it's built for practical use: checking whether a move is safe on block, how fast a punisher needs to be, and when it's your turn to act.

What the frame data includes

Each character page on TekkenDocs is organized around a full move list. For every move you can expect:

  • Frame advantage — the number that tells you who recovers first after a move is blocked or hits.
  • In-depth details — startup, recovery, and other properties beyond the headline number.
  • Videos — clips showing the move in action, so you can match the number to what you actually see on screen.

This combination matters because a raw number alone is easy to misread. Seeing the move alongside its frames removes the guesswork.

How to read the numbers in practice

Frame data answers two everyday questions:

  1. Is this move safe? If a move is minus on block, the size of that minus tells you whether the opponent can punish it and with what.
  2. Can I punish that? If an opponent's move leaves them minus, you compare that number against your character's fastest punisher.

For example, if a move is −10 on block, a 10-frame punisher will connect; if it's −14, you need a 14-frame option. TekkenDocs lists the frame advantage per move so you can make that comparison directly instead of testing in training mode.

Browsing by character

Frame data is split by game and then by character. The Tekken 8 roster on TekkenDocs includes:

Alisa, Anna, Armor King, Asuka, Azucena, Bob, Bryan, Claudio, Clive, Devil Jin, Dragunov, Eddy, Fahkumram, Feng, Heihachi, Hwoarang, Jack-8, Jin, Jun, Kazuya, King, Kuma, Kunimitsu, Lars, Law, Lee, Leo, Leroy, Lidia, Lili, Miary Zo, Nina, Panda, Paul, Raven, Reina, Shaheen, Steve, Victor, Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, Zafina.

Tekken 7 and Tekken Tag 2 rosters are also available if you play those titles.

Frame data sits alongside other tools that use the same numbers:

  • Character guides — key moves, combos, punishers, and defensive tips written by high-level players.
  • Move comparison — compare moves directly.
  • Daily challenge and frame quiz — practice guessing block frames and build a streak.
  • Sidestep chart — advice on which side to step against a given character.
  • Flash cards — drill the data.

If you want to turn frame numbers into actual decisions, start with a character's move list, note the minus moves you use most, and check what your fastest punisher can punish. The frame quiz is a low-effort way to keep those numbers fresh.
