⚠️ Warning: Frame data changes every major patch. An “-8” move may become “-12” overnight. Always check patch notes.

Understanding the frame data in Multiversus reveals the game’s unique design philosophy.

Unlike Smash Bros., Multiversus does not have a traditional spot dodge with invincibility frames (IFrames) that degrade. Instead, it uses a Dodge Meter. You cannot rely on a guide written six months ago

A standard dodge in Multiversus has invincibility starting on Frame 1. This is massive. It means that no move in the game is truly "unblockable" if the player has dodge meter.

Most grounded normals (Jabs, Tilts) can be cancelled into a dodge. This artificially lowers their recovery.

The Meta: At high levels, players rarely let moves fully finish. They "Bait the dodge" by attacking, canceling, and waiting for the opponent to panic.
