Update History

3.0.0

• Fully charged Shadow Ball has more knockback scaling (67 → 71).
• Shadow Ball deals less shield damage (0 → -0.6 (uncharged), 3 → -4 (fully charged).

8.0.0

• The move has less ending lag (FAF 44 → 40; from release: 32 → 28).
• Uncharged Shadow Ball deals more damage (2.5% → 4%).

Hitboxes

The ID 0 and 1 hitboxes are used for no charge and full charge, respectively. For every charge frame, Shadow Ball's damage, shield damage, base knockback, and knockback scaling are linearly scaled from the ID 0 hitbox to the ID 1 hitbox. The sound effect's level also changes to M (Medium) when reaching at least half of the move's charge, then to L (Large) at full charge. The effective values can be calculated by the following formulas:

• Damage: 4 + 21 * charge frames / 120
• Shield damage: -0.6 - 3.4 * charge frames / 120
• Base knockback: 14 + 16 * charge frames / 120
• Knockback scaling: 30 + 41 * charge frames / 120

Timing

Charge-canceling incurs 4 frames of lag before the selected action. While the Shadow Ball's hitbox is active on frame 4 of release, it often ends up hitting later due to still being inside Mewtwo's jostle area for a few frames.

Charges between	12-13
Hitbox (from release)	16-95 (4-83)
Interruptible (from release)	40 (28)
Animation length (from release)	52 (40)
