Does anybody know the invincibility frame data for the quick shield release?

I am trying to find out how long Yoshi is invincible during the shield activation and release (egg covering body to instant egg release - basically tapping and releasing shield). I want to know because when I miss a parry by shielding and releasing too early, sometimes I don't get hit. I know it doesn't have the same properties as the shield because it dodges grabs. Just wanted to know how reliable this was. Usually I can get out a free downsmash punish with the small window of the set shield release lag. So I know it's like a parry but you can't do that much out of it like DJC Nair.

Yoshi doesn't have shield stun, so you can release your shield instantly. If it isn't a parry you're talking about, you are probably shielding the attack and then allowing your shield to drop right away.

For parrying, you are invincible starting frame 1 til the frame you begin jumping, which must start by frame 6 or else you simply shield.

Hope this helps
