User:DrakRoar/Evolution of aerial attacks in Smash

The following is a compilation of all characters' landing lag and auto-cancel windows for their aerial attacks (and in the case of landing lag, their helpless state) throughout the Smash games, as well as the first frame in which they hit.

Notes

• For landing lag of aerials in Smash 64, values shown refer to the landing lag they have when not Z-cancelled. Z-cancelling an aerial will make it auto-cancel.
• For landing lag of aerials in Melee, values shown in brackets refer to the landing lag they have when L-cancelled.
• Landing lag for all air dodges is 10 in Melee, auto-canceled in Brawl, 22 in Smash 4, 10 for neutral air dodges and 19 for directional air dodges in Ultimate. Landing lag for special moves such as Falcon Kick and Skull Bash is not shown on this list.
• Landing lag for all grab aerials is 30 in Melee (they incur the regular landing animation, but prevent it from being interrupted), auto-canceled in Brawl and 8 in Smash 4 and Ultimate.
• Certain cells in the Smash 64, Melee, Smash 4 and Ultimate columns have a (P) that indicates the data was modified in either different regions (Smash 64 and Melee) or patches (Smash 4 and Ultimate); their rollover will display the original value(s), in a similar fashion to this: 16 (P).

As of currently, some of the frame data in Melee and Brawl might be wrong, and most of the Ultimate data are unfinished placeholders; feel free to contribute if you have the correct data. Most of the helpless landing lag values are also missing.
