-The Frame Rank consists of a main counter and an incremental counter. The incremental counter goes +1 for every 32 frames passed. When the incremental counter surpasses 255, the main counter and thereby the Frame Rank increases by +1. Only this number of the main counter has then an effect on the calculation of the Base Rank.
+Each player has a frame rank counter. Every frame 1 is added to this counter. This counter does not increase during stage transitions, death animations, and cutscenes.

-To put this into perspective, the main counter of the Frame Rank increases by +1 every 136 seconds with a 32f increase rate. In contrast, it increases every 17 seconds with a 4f increase rate.
+This formula means that every 2731 frames or every 45.5166667 seconds, frame rank increases by one. Frame rank does not have a cap, but will essentially stop increasing at Total Rank's maximum of 31. Upon death, frame rank will be reset back to 0.
