-There are many ways to achieve invincibility in game. The most common way is to respawn, where the player is invincible for a certain amount of time after leaving the [[revival platform]]. Certain attacks also have invincibility, some covering the whole body and others only covering certian hitboxes. If a player attacks an opponent while they are invincible, they will receive the normal amount of [[hitlag]], but the opponent will otherwise be unaffected. Characters who are invincible can still be affected by certain [[windbox]]es, as well as [[Master Core|Master Giant's]] grab attack in ''Smash 4''. This can be incredibly useful for the opponent, as they can capitalize on the opponent still being in hitlag and [[punish]] them or bait a certain reaction by using an attack with invincibility.

 Invincibility does have a somewhat niche downside in that on the [[Planet Zebes]], [[Brinstar]], and [[Norfair]] [[stage]]s, invincible characters will fall straight through the stage's lower hazard, rather than sustaining damage and bouncing back up. They may occasionally also be KO'd if they are standing on the track on [[Port Town Aero Dive]], and both the [[Mute City (SSBM)|''Melee'' Mute City]] and the [[Mute City SNES|''Smash 3DS'' Mute City]].
