Super Armor List

[The MC Clusky]

Super Armor - Allows you to not flinch or disrupt your attack duration. You take the damage percentage, but you do not flinch.... it's kinda like a phantom hit, only it's not a glitch.

I found this list on Shoryuken (lawlz). It's funny seeing big names in Street Fighter and Guilty Gear learning this game, despite the general distaste the SRK board had for Melee.

it's in the process of going through changes. But thanks to the people here I've given the credit where due for allowing others to see this information


I'm sorry I didn't cite you. But now I'm making up for it.

Who has Super Armor? If something is not on this list please contribute. I need more information, specifically what part or frames have Super Armor.

Ike's UpB does not have Super Armor the entire time. I've been able to Pound him as Jiggles as he UpBs.

[leafgreen386]

Ike's up+B, I believe the entire move

This is incorrect. I've gimped ike numerous times by simply spamming thundershock (pikachu main) down the ledge, which interrupts his upB before he can rise, but after he initially throws his sword. If he had SA during this time it wouldn't so much as faze him. He probably has it when he's rising, and maybe at the beginning of the move - I haven't tested this extensively to know, but it definitely isn't the whole time.

[Ganny]

Ganondorf B right/left has super armor when grabbing the enemy

[Zink]

I don't think ike's up b is ALL SAF. I've been hit out of it on the way down multiple times. I think it might be just the middle part.

You can get hit out of D3's upB when it starts. It has super armor up until you reach the peek of the jump, then he can be hit anytime afterwards.

[nitro-blazer]

Yoshi's jump isn't true super armor. It can be hit out at High percents, just like melee.

[Levitas]

I'm thinking DK's startup for his up-b have super armor based on experience, but I was in the middle of a game and didn't ask for better testing. Somebody check this.

[Pink Reaper]

Are you sure Jiggs' Down B isn't just an invincibility frame? In melee, the exact frame the attack came out was also an invincibility frame, it could be the same for Brawl. Also, does Kirby get SA frames from Ike/DK's attacks?

[Qinopio]

Squirtle's Withdraw (side-B) has true armor. That is, you can take no damage as long as you're in your shell.

Isn't super armor interruptible with sufficiently powerful attacks?

Edit: Phantom hits, at least in Brawl, are not glitches. They're on the Dojo.

[NoVaLombardia]

do you think after you get a full list of who has super armor, you might list the frame length of each attack and what frames gain super armor? (after testing of course)

Regards to DK.


Super Armor-

Let’s discuss Super Armor. DK has two options, and thankfully, the SA windows are at different places, so you have multiple options to be effective. Learn the two windows and apply them effectively as an attacking defensive strategy.

-upB (Grounded)- Super Armor frames on start-up, this is the BIGGEST SA window DK has, it's now as effective as Bowser fortress with Invulnerable start-up, the window is the whole entire time his elbow is raised before it's active, BUT, additionally, there is a small window after invulnerability, and before it's active where you can STILL be hit out of the move. This means that upB is very effective against single strike moves (IKE COUGH COUGH) and not multi stuff like most Dsmashes. on ground, the trajectory is enough to be safe on guard but don't expect much horizontal movement, it only has enough. Finally, the grounded version has AMAZING almost instant recovery, while the last hit has the most knockback of the entire move.

-Full Charged Donkey Punch- Super Armor is the Donkey Punch itself, about ~25 frames after startup of a full charge DK punch you are in Super Armor sate. It is set-up such that, it will never trade hits. In a trade situation DK will always win. But, you will still be hit OUT of a DonkeyPunch early.


It's also been stated by other DK players that Fair has SA frames, nut I have yet to find it.

[Serpit]

Squirtle's F-Smash has Super Armor as well.

Yeah; the correct term should be Hyper Armor.
