Timing

Not fully charged

The move takes 13 frames to initiate before it can fire or start charging, and can be charge-canceled after this period. The timings listed below are without this initiation period. Charge-canceling also incurs 4 frames of lag before the selected action.

Hitbox	3-62
Interruptible	32
Animation length	54

Fully charged

This data includes the startup period, as it is unlikely to release the Charge Shot at maximum charge from the charge animation.

Hitbox	16-75
Interruptible	61
Animation length	74
