"Attack" is a term used in music to describe the time from the beginning to the peak of a musical note. I was unable to find a fighting game term for "attack" - the time between pressing the button on the controller and the attack connecting. Is there one and what is it?

I've only found that the time after the attack is called "recovery".

Best Answer

I think what you're asking is what's happening DURING an attack, not necessarily what an attack is. In this case, @Benbrocka is correct. Once you hit the button, the attack animation begins, sends out a hurtbox that can do damage, and if the hurtbox aligns with the opponent's hitbox while they are not in a position that could block the attack, then they take damage.
