Throw invincibility?

[Master_Gamer]

I dunno if I'm late to the party on this or no one is talking about this yet, but it seems there is throw invincibility during doubles! Has this always been a thing? I'm pretty sure you can hit the other person out of a throw in current doubles.

Throw invincibility has been a thing since Smash 4 I think (Chain grabs were busted)

No, like the Marth is swinging, but Kirby isn't getting hit out of his grab. Team Attack isn't on so he can't hit Ike.

As far as I can tell, the person is in the middle of being hit by Kirby's dthrow animation. This might happen in other Smash games; it's hard for me to say because I never play teams without team attack on, but I also can't imagine the victim getting hit and Kirby just stopping doing his dthrow or just drill kicking some empty air because the victim got hit away. I would expect similar behavior if you attacked, say, a Mario or Luigi doing a bthrow or something like that too; I didn't see any hitboxes overlap the victim after the throw actually happened just in the middle of the animation. It's an interesting situation though and a good observation; if anyone is feeling motivated to test this behavior in other Smash games, I'd be interested in your results!

You have a certain invincibility to knockback while being grabbed but I have no clue.

Noticed this yesterday Where Pikachu's Side B bounces off Bowser's Uthrow rather than getting caught in the move. It seems the I-frames from performing a throw in Smash 4 may have been converted to Invincibility. The same kind of invincibility you get from respawning in a match. Because even in the OP's example you'll notice Marth experiencing hitlag from striking Kirby. And it's not super armor because the person being attacked does not take damage.

Definitely interested in whether this is a strictly doubles/free for all thing or if it happens during singles.

I thought this was going to be a new thing that Sakurai or whoever put in to prevent people from pulling something like a Wombo Combo. I'm glad it's not.
