Employs moments of invincibility tied to certain animation frames, such as certain dodges. This tag is only when the iframes aren't specified better with something else.

Notable people involved: Hidetaka Miyazaki, Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura

Alternate names: Invulnerability frames
Name variations: iframes

Although originally this related to specifically static sprite frames, modern games don't always employ such mechanics anymore and thus this more generally refers to just a moment of invincibility associated with certain actions like dodging.
