[[File:fireball.jpg|thumb|Mario's [[fireball]] is an example of a projectile]]


A '''projectile''' is an attack or other object that operates independently of the character that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item]]s. Most projectiles can be [[reflect]]ed, while others can also be [[absorb]]ed.

Line 7: Line 6:
A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile, as they can be very useful in both [[approach]]ing and [[camp]]ing out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take [[hitlag]] while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

As projectiles are (in general) considered [[Specials: Indirect|indirect attacks]], the vast majority of enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] resist them outside of any weak points they may have - in fact, only [[Porky]], [[Meta Ridley]], and [[Tabuu]] do not. Projectiles are also generally [[special move]]s executed with the [[B]] button, but some characters, including {{SSBB|Snake}}, the {{SSB4|Villager}}, and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} have other attacks that are projectiles.

Revision as of 19:43, January 29, 2016

Mario's fireball is an example of a projectile.

A projectile is an attack or other object that operates independently of the character that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the Charge Shot, Blaster shots, and thrown items. Most projectiles can be reflected, while others can also be absorbed.

A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile, as they can be very useful in both approaching and camping out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take hitlag while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

As projectiles are (in general) considered indirect attacks, the vast majority of enemies in the Subspace Emissary resist them outside of any weak points they may have - in fact, only Porky, Meta Ridley, and Tabuu do not. Projectiles are also generally special moves executed with the B button, but since Brawl, some characters such as Snake, the Villager, and Mega Man have standard attacks that are projectiles.

Projectiles used by characters

This table includes all non-Final Smash projectiles for every character, as well as some important properties of each. Note that, while a projectile may not be absorbable, that does not exclude the ability to be Pocketed.

Character Projectiles Reflectable Absorbable Unique/Special Properties
Bowser Fire Breath Yes Yes Size and length decreases as Bowser continues to breathe, releasing the move slowly recharges it.
Bowser Jr. Mechakoopa Yes No
Abandon Ship No No The Clown Car becomes a projectile after abandoned.
Clown Cannon Yes No
Cloud Blade Beam Yes Yes
Dark Pit Silver Arrow Yes Yes Chargeable and controllable. Can be held for a slightly limited time, and can be aimed up.
Diddy Kong Peanut Popgun Yes No Can be charged, which increases damage and speed while flattening the movement angle, but charging too much causes the move to fail. Can be grabbed and subsequently thrown as an item.
Banana Peel Yes No Produces a banana peel.
Rocketbarrel Boost (when the barrels come off) Yes No Has a random trajectory. Cannot be shielded.
Dr. Mario Megavitamins Yes YesSSBM Icon.png
NoSSB4 Icon.png
Affected by gravity, bounces on the ground.
Duck Hunt Trick Shot Yes No Can be launched higher and/or farther by pressing B repeatedly. Explodes after a while, or if it hits an enemy.
Clay Shooting No No The clay pigeon is shot if the B button is pressed. If hit by an attack (including ones that normally would reflect projectiles), then it breaks automatically.
Wild Gunman Yes No
Falco Blaster Yes Yes Follows straight trajectory. Causes flinching. The lasers are also used in his up, back and down throws (can also be absorbed and reflected).
Fox Blaster Yes Yes Follows straight trajectory. Does not cause flinching (except in Smash 64). The lasers are also used in Fox's back, down and up throws in Melee and Brawl (can also be absorbed and reflected).
Greninja Water Shuriken Yes No
Hydro Pump Yes No Does not cause flinching.
Ice Climbers Ice Shot Yes YesSSBM Icon.png
NoSSBB Icon.png
Bounces off shields, causing it to travel the other direction. Hugs the ground, following straight trajectory.

Gordo Throw Yes No Can be reflected by any attack doing over 2%.
Super Dedede Jump (stars produced) Yes Yes  
Kirby Inhale (spit-out character and swallow) Yes No The character that's been turned into a star will be shot out of Kirby's mouth in a straight trajectory in front of him if he spits that character out. If he swallows a character, the star will appear behind him with the same properties but with much shorter range. If reflected and it hits Kirby, he will keep his copy ability, but the swallow animation will stop a few frames earlier.
Final Cutter's shock wave Yes Yes Produces a wave after Kirby touches the ground, hugging it and following a straight trajectory.
May copy another character's neutral special projectile.
Link Boomerang/Gale Boomerang Yes No Tries to return to Link. Can be angled. In Brawl, produces a vacuum effect on return.
Bomb Yes No Produces a Bomb, which acts as an item. It explodes after 7 seconds, and can deal self-damage. While the bomb itself cannot be absorbed, the explosion it creates can.
Bow/Hero's Bow Yes No Can be charged, and held forever before releasing. The charge affects the firing speed and distance. Affected by gravity, stops moving when it hits the ground.
Lucario Aura Sphere Yes Yes Waves up and down slightly; moves perfectly straight when fully charged. Can be held forever (damages foes who touch the Aura).
Force Palm's aura Yes Yes In very close distance, acts as a throw instead.

PK Fire Yes Yes Creates gravity-affected fire pillar on impact, trajectory changes when used in midair.
PK Thunder Yes Yes Controllable.
Olimar All of Olimar's Pikmin attacks - namely, his smash attacks, directional aerials, grabs, throws, Pikmin Chain, and Pikmin Throw - are considered projectiles due to the Pikmin being the active object, not Olimar.

Snake Hand Grenade Yes No Can be picked up, grenade itself does not cause flinching and can be tilted forward and backwards (when tilted backwards it will fall next to Snake). Can also injure the user. Detonates after few seconds. Does not explode on contact.
Remote Missile Yes No Controllable. Shielding against it makes the user lose control of its trajectory.
