Questions about no-flinch moves

I haven't seen too much discussion of this mechanic, which is a little dissapointing, and I have two questions I haven't found the answers to anywhere:

1. How many/which characters have them?
2. Can you still be grabbed while performing them?

This mechanic is probably really difficult to notice, but hopefully one of you e for all-ers managed to pick up on these facts.

Ike and Bowser have them for sure...DK I'm not to sure about....

You probably can't be grabbed during the time either.....it's just what I think

I did not have the privilege of going to E for All but I'll try and answer your questions regardless.

1. As far as I know only Ike and Bowser have been confirmed to use moves which grant them Super Armor briefly. It's quite a difficult thing to test also as I'm sure you'll agree. Especially when you're limited to a 2min match in a crowded convention booth. Testing out which moves/frames grant you Super Armor is a lengthy task.

2. I don't know if someone tested it, but I'll go ahead and say that I find it doubtful. My main reason is Ike's move Aether the one in which he gains Super Armor while staying on the floor when he throws his sword up into the air. Why? Because then he'd be stuck on the ground after sending his sword flying which would make his sword disappear into thin air and suddenly pop on his hand again. That'd be horrible, don't you think?

Hope that helped a bit. :p

Your best bet now is to check out the videos that came out and keenly observe which characters don't flinch to which type of moves. My guess is that the larger characters won't flinch to weaker attacks.
