Invincibility

Invincibility frames are the period of time (measured in frames) during which one cannot be hit.

These include:

• When respawning after dying; when one is on the platform after losing a stock and for 120 frames (2 seconds) after getting off it.
• At the beginning of Get-up attacks and animations
• At the beginning of Techs (all kinds)
• When rolling or sidestepping.
• At the beginning of wall jumps
• At the beginning of certain moves, like Samus' and Bowser's Up + B's (Screw Attack and Whirling Fortress)
• Grabbing the edge of a stage
