I don't think you can avoid it, unless super high perhaps. I mean, I've had HP on racast at 22XX (200+all mats), and he still gets knocked down (I think?, can't remember since he died). I suppose you could always test with lvl 200 racast/caseal, all HP mats and HP units, in Sandbox. Idk who's HP is highest but it's gotta be one of them.

Impossible to prevent it through HP alone since IIRC damage dealing more than 20% of your max HP will knock you down.
(Baranz missles deal 200 damage right? You would stop getting knocked down at 1000 HP. If I remembered incorrectly and baranz missles deal 250 damage, then it would be 25%.)
I didn't answer this earlier since I don't know the details.
For arms length, I'm not sure if it affects it, I haven't tested it myself. In the case it was false, some people would actually prefer shorter arms since it allows you to glitch ranged projectiles closer.
I heard shoulder width does affect targeting, but I don't remember which one is preferable.

It only works with the 9 star flowen's (the "standard" flowen's you're talking about).

Proportion does play a role in hotbox size, yes, but it's not something most players should worry about.

Ctrl+f "proportions"
TL : DR
The optimal character is thought to be one of mid-ish height and short arms (usually quite broad). This may give a slight advantage in using the SN glitch and they won't suck at trapshooting.
You'd have to test long arms and sword reach but it would appear to make SN harder so you'd be trading one for the other at best.
YMMV.
Credit to John for the observations.

If by "is not required" you mean "doesn't help", then no. It's not true.
Smartlink helps Slicers be more accurate for HU/FO characters.

It's all ranged weaponry.

It "doesn't help" in the sense that you can SNN or SNH just fine without it, due to glitching the ATA of the first attack. If you want to actually SNS though, then eliminating the range penalty will significantly increase the chance of hitting with the last special attack, since you can't glitch that one.

Yes, but non-Slicers usually NSN, not SNS, and the question was specifically about Slicers. My point was that the ATA of a second normal attack is so high (and the range of Slicers is so low) that you don't even need to remove the range penalty to have a guaranteed first special hit, but you do need to remove the range penalty if you want to get a third special to hit, since glitching the third hit on any weapon is impossible.

Brightness Circle + ADR = 85 EDK
Add in Glide Divine for FOmarl/FOnewearl for an additional 15 for 100 EDK.
