This article is about the down special move of the characters from the Star Fox universe. For moves that reflect generally, see reflectors.

The "Reflector Device"

The Reflector, also called the Shine, is Fox's, Falco's and Wolf's down special move. When used, the user creates a blue, hexagonal energy field which acts as a shield, and deflects any projectile from any angle (with the exception of Final Smashes). It can also be used to damage enemies in close proximity to the user when activated. If this shield deflects too many projectiles in one use, it will shatter, like a normal shield, and leave the user stunned. In Brawl, it was revealed that the shield originates from a small device the user carries. How it is used and its effects depends on the user.

Origin

Like most of Fox's moves, the Reflector is unique to the Super Smash Bros. series, but may have been inspired by the Arwing's ability to deflect enemy fire by doing a Barrel Roll. In addition, it bears a similarity to the Barrier power-up in Star Fox: Assault, although that game was released years after Super Smash Bros.. If anything, the Star Fox: Assault Barrier takes after the Super Smash Bros. Reflector.

Character Differences

Fox

Fox's Reflector creates a blue hexagonal shield around himself. Fox can keep the Reflector active for as long as he wants, and using it in midair slows his falling speed (this works by reducing his air speed and resetting his downwards acceleration). The reflector multiplies a projectile's damage and knockback by 1.5 when reflected. If the projectile is reflected several times, his reflector may break, similar to a shield breaking. The Reflector is often used for shine spikes, which involve using the Reflector's damaging properties to knock recovering enemies downwards. It is also extremely useful against bosses, considering most of their attacks are projectiles.

In Super Smash Bros and Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Reflector caused a sound effect identical to the sound effect used for picking up items. Because of this, Fox made a different sound when he grabbed items. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Reflector's sound effect was changed.

While in the shine, Fox's falling speed is altered: Fox falls and accelerates more slowly. This is the reason that Chillin Dashing works. In Brawl, Fox can effectively hover in the air by repeatedly using his reflector. The slowed falling speed, mixed with the damaging aspect of the Reflector, can prevent Fox being juggled. However, shine-spiking in Brawl is much less useful due to a combination of the reflector's damage affected knockback, longer recoveries and floatiness.

Falco

In Melee, Falco's Reflector is identical to Fox's, although it sends opponents upwards when used as an attack; because of this, Falco cannot waveshine combo, unlike Fox. He can however Star KO with his shine.

In Brawl, Falco uses his Reflector by kicking it away from him when it is activated. It then returns as if magnetized. Not only does this serve as a reflector, but also as a quick surprising hit. If timed correctly, it will make the opponent it hits trip. This is considered a reflector that is a projectile, and it travels through enemies unhindered. Because Falco kicks it, he cannot hold it in place. This means that when playing as Falco, the player must use good timing to reflect projectiles. When the Reflector comes back to Falco, it can also reflect any projectiles back at any angle at the last second. Template:Falco Special Moves

Wolf

Wolf's Reflector, instead of creating a hexagonal, blue shield, produces an elliptical, magenta shield. Also, unlike Fox or Falco's Reflector device, Wolf's Reflector device is on his back instead of on his belt. While it is ordinary when used as a Reflector, and it does little damage as an attack, it gives Wolf invincibility frames (as shown in the picture of Wolf's Reflector shield) the instant it's activated, about as many as a sidestep, allowing him to live through one-hit KOs if timed correctly. The invincibility frames also work like Marth and Ike's Counter or Lucario's Double Team: Wolf blocks the attack with the invincibility, then the Reflector shocks the opponent as if it were a counter. When the projectiles are reflected, they return at double the speed and power. Template:Wolf Special Moves
