A frame is a unit of time in video games. The length of a frame depends on the number of hertz the game is set to; since Melee is normally set to 60hZ (50hZ in the PAL version of Melee), a frame is one sixtieth of a secon (one fiftieth of a second for PAL). All events, actions and movements in Melee occur in increments of frames.
