Casting Animation

The Casting Animation is the starting phase of certain Powers where the fighter will go into an immobile animation of casting-based movement to invoke the Power. If this happens when controlling Pit, he will shout "Lady Palutena" (or "Viridi" in chapters 19, 20, or 21) or say "thank you." Dark Pit will say "come on now" instead.

Gameplay
(Note: all values below would be assuming the game to run at 60 Frames Per Second instead of the 30 that it actually does.)

On standard, the Casting Animation lasts 40 frames, during which the player cannot move, and the player can't cast any further Powers until after a further 18 frames, but does become intangible for 80 frames (unaffected by Evasion+) from the start of the cast, with the casted Power itself actually starting up on frame 10.
