- The developer of Soulcalibur explains why it doesn't release frame data - 19 March 2019
In the world of fighting games, frame data is used by advanced players who want to level up their skills.

But not all games reveal the frame date to players. One such game is Soulcalibur 6. Why? In a recently-published and rather illuminating Q&A with Project Soul , the developers explained the decision to withhold frame data from players, saying: "As Project Soul, not releasing frame data is part of our policy."
