Timing

PK Thunder

The frame strips shown are for the bolt's maximum duration. If the bolt hits a surface, it disappears and the move skips to the deletion point. The move enables ledge grabs from both sides as soon as the ending portion starts.

PK Thunder 2

During frames 1-30, the move disables jostling, increases Lucas's ledge grab range, and prevents him from landing. Ending friction is applied starting on frame 31 of the dash. Ledge grabs are enabled from the front starting on frame 2. It lacks a window for backward ledge grabs, so Lucas cannot grab ledges from behind until a frame after the animation is over (frame 81 onward).

PK Thunder 2 grounded bounce-off

Hitting a wall causes Lucas to hit the floor in a downed state. If he hits a wall between frames 1-29 of the dash, it generates a hitbox that's nearly identical to PK Thunder 2's final hit. Hitting a wall on frame 30 does not generate the hitbox.

PK Thunder 2 aerial bounce-off

The first time Lucas bounces off a surface before landing, this animation can be canceled into another PK Thunder for an additional recovery chance. Should Lucas bounce off a surface between frames 1-29, he generates a hitbox that's nearly identical to PK Thunder 2's final hit. Bouncing off the surface frames 30-55 does not generate the hitbox and shortens the window that Lucas can use andother PK Thunder.
