Proof of Invulnerability Frames on Lucas Up-smash

http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=141190

"There have been rumor of super armor and even invincibility frames for this move. So far, there's not much proof of either. This move needs to be looked into quite thoroughly."

I played Brawl today for the first time and filmed some matches, and then this happened. I figure it's proof enough or at least a start.

This doesn't prove anything. ZSS must grab at the tip of the whip in order for the grab to connect correctly.

@MidnightsWrath Nonsense. You can get grabbed at any range so long as you're not FURTHER than the tip of it.

What you're suggesting is that ZSS can't grab someone even if they're immediately in front of them because it's not the tip of the whip. C'mon dude

gay lol

the good thing is that a bunch of characters have moves with invulnerability frames. So it isn't just favoring one character.

ZSS went for a grab, it failed. usmash puts lucas off the ground(maybe), tether grabs will not work on aerial opponents. Its not invulnerability, even if it comes in use.

no [not being a dick, simple answer :)]

zss grab range is long. she cant get you if you dash grab that close

Lucas's head/body moves into the background slightly. It's just a result of Brawl's physics as a 3D game. Try shooting lasers at Lucas charging his fsmash, and you'll notice them zip past his head without hurting him. Lucas moves his big head a bit too much during smashes apparently.

you just missed the grab. happens to people all the time.

You can still grab people out of the air ^-^

From what im seeing, your either a 12 year old punk, or some nerd living in your grandparents basement

Mmm... my friend complained about it too. He said he was link and as I approached with a sliding up smash, he hit me with an arrow, but I didn't flinch or take damage and got him. I think that you're right, and that Lucas does have invulnerability frames for this move though at a different time. This video proves nothing I'm afraid. Grabs are known for missing for a variety of strange reasons. I wish I filmed that match between Lucas and Link...
