I went and did frame counts.

Disclaimer and notes: I am not infallible, I may have made some mistakes but overall I think they're correct to within 1 frame. Numbers marked with (?) may be subject to a higher degree of error. I skipped measuring Agile getting punched due to difficulty measuring the start point, and I should hope the equal. Some non-playable but time-affecting numbers (such as Flame Stag's supposed death delay if he's in the air when he dies, post-death lag, stage select speed, etc) are not noted. This post is intended to try to separate superior playing from a ROM change.
