full: entire body

head: upper invul but only at the top of their head, mostly useful for antiairs. will not beat meaty mid and high attacks (like close jabs or close heavies)

low: low invul

A = light punch
B = light kick
C = heavy punch
D = heavy kick
AC = both punches
BD = both kicks

[] = hold (charge moves)

P = any punch
K = any kick
# = any button (Kukri's 22#, Ash's 214#, etc)
----------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ:

ONE:
Some supers are fully invul on wakeup for many frames, but some are only invul for maybe 2 or 3 frames at most. I did -not- list these supers as invul because they do not carry their invul through to the attack, making them unreliable on wakeup. There are LOTS of these.

TWO:
This is --NOT-- a list of all special properties in the game, rather a list focused on wakeup reversals. There are plenty of armor moves and other interesting things going on that are not here, however I did notate any interesting things I found.

Use any 236214P to counter projectiles.

214BD has armor frame 1.
---
Maxima
full - Climax

His 236236A and C supers have very brief full invul followed by high armor. The 236236K supers are the same, without the armor. Some low meaties will win.

623BD and 236236AC are low invul AND have high armor. More or less functioning the same as a fully invul wakeup.

Heidern
full - [2]8C/AC, any 214236K, Climax*
upper - 623C
head - [2]8A, 214BD

Climax whiffs on crouchers at all times. [2]8A loses to basically everything except jumping normals. 623C has some armor after the invul is over.

*upper body armor on frame 1, not strictly "invul". Lows beat these clean.
---
Shermie

full invul - any 236236K, Climax

214C/AC are invul to grounded attacks. Any jumpin stuffs them but it goes straight through most ground meaties.

All 623K are invul to airborne attacks. Goes straight through a burn knuckle.

1-frame grabs - any 41236P, any 4123641236P

Chris
full - any 623K, any 214214K, Climax

236BD and Climax go through fireballs.

head - 623A
---
Mai
full - 214236BD, 236236AC, Climax
head - any 236K

As usual, poor wakeups all around for Mai. 236K having head invul is interesting because it's too slow to be a good reaction anti-air. I wonder what it's for.
---
Yuri
full - 623A/AC, any 214214P, 236214BD, Climax
head - any 623K

As with Ryo/Robert, the fireball supers and level 1 ranbus don't work on wakeup. Unlike them, her -light- DP is her main antiair and she has a 3rd super which does work on wakeup.
---
Leona
full - [2]8AC, Climax
head - [2]8A/C

*214236K has only a frame or two of invul. BD version has a little more but can still lose.

Air super: unfortunately, can still lose to fireballs or jumping normals. Not invul while traveling.
---
Ralf
full - 214AC, any 214236K, Climax
upper - 214C, 236236AC*
low - 63214BD

236236AC has armor after a couple frames of full invul.

All versions of 236236P go -through- projectiles. (the projectile keeps flying and is not destroyed)
---
Clark
full - 41236B*, any 623K, any 4123641236K**, Climax
upper - 41236AC

1-Frame grabs: 41236D/BD, any 6321463214P

*light backbreaker has full-body armor + throw invul on frame 1.

**B and D Running Three only have a few frames of invul. BD Running Three can run through fireballs.

AC mount tackle can beat high meaties and also anti-air.
---
Antonov
full - 623AC, any 236236P*, any 236236K**, Climax
head - 63214BD

*Will probably miss when using on wakeup, be careful.

**236236K has only a few frames of invul. BD version is reliable on wakeup.

BD Gigantic Back has some head invul, but it's slow so not sure how to use it.
---
Ramon
full - 41236A, 214BD, Climax
low - 22AC, 214236BD
1-frame grabs: any 6321463214P/41236AC

His Climax is a grab.
EX Tiger Load has a couple of invul frames, interesting to see how/if it will be used.

**214236B/D dont cost a bar if they dont work on wakeup**
---
Dino
full - 4214BD*, 63214C**, 236236BD, Climax
upper - 236236B/D

1-frame grabs: 63214A, any 6321463214P

*Misses often, hitbox seems very high

**C grab is fully invul for a few frames, then has full body armor for a few more frames before the grab connects.

full - 623A/AC, 236236AC, 236236BD, Climax
upper - 623C, 236236A/C, 236236B/D

Her level 1 supers wont beat slides but will beat many other things.
---
Angel
full - 4623AC, Climax

4623K has a very small activation window.
---
Blue Mary
full - 623D/BD, any 214P*, 236214C/AC, Climax
head - 623B
low - 236AC
projectile - 623AC

1-frame grabs: any 4123641236K

*A and C versions of Real Counter are fully strike invul, but throwable. EX adds throw invul for complete invul.

Probably the best suite of reversals in the game so far.
---
Vanessa
full - 236236AC, 214236AC, Climax
upper - any 214/236K, any 214P

Puncher Vision (214/236K) gets under more attacks/fireballs than 214P does.
---
Luong
full - any 236236K, 236214BD, Climax
upper - 214BD

214BD is a good antiair into combo.
---
Rock

upper - 623C
full - 623A/AC, 236236P, climax (both)
low - 214AC[!]

236BD has invul above Rock's knees for a few frames, then counters non-lows (including jumpins).
Any 236236K has full projectile invul for its travel time.
Rock's Climaxes are invul long enough to run through fireballs at mid-screen.
---
B.Jenet

full invul - any 236236K, 236236AC
236BD has invul against airborne attacks.
214236CD is a 2nd-frame counter (the 1st frame is fully invul).

any 236236P super can travel through projectiles briefly. (It can get through two of Joe's EX tornadoes, but it's difficult to get through all three.)
---
Gato

full - 623B/BD, 236236AC, any 236236K, climax

The travels of climax and 236236D are projectile invul.

236236C seems to beat attacks sometimes that A version can't. Perhaps it has an extra frame of invul, but I'm not sure exactly why. Neither are great wakeups, both can trade.
---
Omega Rugal

reversals:
fully invul - any 623K, 236214AC, 236236BD, climax

Level 1 punch super can trade while traveling.
