I say "the vast majority" because there are exceptions. But if you get used to dodging into mechanics after they go off but before the animation is done, you will very quickly find the handful of exceptions scattered throughout the game. Trust me on that; I speak from experience here.
Got it! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and the thorough explanation. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for making this thread. I honestly would have never thought to ask about this here, had you not made this thread.
