***In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' prior to version [[1.1.0]], [[shield]]ing opponents were not affected by these hitlag multipliers; therefore, moves with below-average multipliers were safer on shield, while those with above-average multipliers were less safe, as the attacker experienced less or more hitlag (respectively) than the shield user. Beginning in version 1.1.0 of ''Smash 4'', shields are properly affected by hitlag multipliers, therefore removing the difference in shield safety caused by them. | ***In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' prior to version [[1.1.0]], [[shield]]ing opponents were not affected by these hitlag multipliers; therefore, moves with below-average multipliers were safer on shield, while those with above-average multipliers were less safe, as the attacker experienced less or more hitlag (respectively) than the shield user.

****In ''Smash 4'', starting in version 1.1.0, if the hitlag multiplier of a move is higher than 1×, it is multiplied by 0.8× if it hits a shield, though without dropping below 1×. For example, the 1.25× hitlag multiplier of Marth's tippers is reduced to 1× if they are shielded. This applies only to the attacker in 1.1.0, and to both the attacker and victim from [[1.1.1]] onward. As a result, in the former case, moves with above-average hitlag are effectively safer on shield, while in the latter case, shielding them merely reduces the usual hitlag period. | ****In ''Smash 4'', starting in version 1.1.0, if the hitlag multiplier of a move is higher than 1×, it is multiplied by 0.8× if it hits a shield, though without dropping below 1×.

**Hitlag multipliers less than 1× are ignored if shielding. This is especially noticeable for moves such as {{SSBU|Cloud}}'s [[Limit Break|Limit]] [[Cross Slash]], which normally uses a hitlag multiplier of 0.3× for its linking hits; the move's hits transition considerably slower if it hits a shield. However, the electric effect's multiplier is still taken into account, which effectively raises the final multiplier to 1.005×, causing projectiles such as [[Thunder Jolt]] to be safer on shield than usual. | **Hitlag multipliers less than 1× are ignored if shielding.

As shown by the formulas, the general amount of hitlag on moves is at its lowest in ''Melee'', and has since increased throughout the series, with ''Ultimate'' having the most hitlag. In all games, hitlag is higher the more damage a move deals | As shown by the formulas, the general amount of hitlag on moves is at its lowest in ''Melee'', and has since increased throughout the series, with ''Ultimate'' having the most hitlag. In all games, hitlag is higher the more damage a move deals. For example, weak attacks such as [[Mario]]'s [[jab]] have minimal hitlag, but the hitlag of strong or {{b|sweetspot|hitbox}}ed attacks can last much longer; up to a maximum of 20 frames in ''Melee'', and 30 frames (20 for the victim if crouch cancelling) from ''Brawl'' onward. In addition, ''Brawl'' introduced the mechanic of hitlag modifiers, causing variance in the hitlag duration of attacks; this is in contrast to ''Melee'' and ''Smash 64'', where the duration of hitlag was predictable. | ||
Hitlag only affects the object that deals the damage; all other game elements (including, interestingly enough, any particle effects the attack generated) are uninterrupted. For example, both [[Captain Falcon]] and his opponent sustain hitlag upon a sweetspotted [[Knee Smash]], while [[Samus]]' movement is not interrupted by a [[Charge Shot]] hitting someone, since it is a projectile not attached to her. Hitlag affects the attacker as long as the attack connects, even if it deals no damage as a result of hitting opponents with [[invincibility]]. Hitlag is also exaggerated if two attacks clash, or if an attack is [[perfect shield]]ed; in the latter case, the attacker suffers from hitlag while the defender receives none. Additionally, if an attack deals no knockback, the target does not experience any hitlag. | |||
Attacks with the [[electric]] effect are unique in that they increase the amount of hitlag, multiplying the number of frames by 1.5 (rounded down), which stacks with the hitlag multiplier that the move otherwise has (for example, an electric attack with a hitlag multiplier of 1.2 deals 1.8 times the amount of hitlag). Interestingly, in ''Smash 4'' if a character is hit by an electric attack from another, and either character is affected by slowdown (such as the [[Timer]] item), then the target receives additional hitlag, while the attacker does not. This phenomenon does not occur with non-electric attacks, even those that have a hitlag multiplier. | |||
A peculiar aspect of hitlag is how it is handled for [[throw]]s. In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', throws inflict no hitlag when releasing the opponent, but their pre-release hitboxes still do, such as those in [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Link]]'s throws. From ''Brawl'' onward, throws can inflict hitlag on release, which only affects the opponent, effectively adding to their [[hitstun]] and giving the user more time to follow up; this is noticeable for throws such as {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s down throw in ''Smash 4'', and {{SSBU|Pikachu}}'s down throw in ''Ultimate''. However, hitlag remains manually disabled for the vast majority of throws' releases, especially in latter games (to the point ''Ultimate'' only has it on {{SSBU|Mythra}}, Pikachu, and {{SSBU|Pyra}}'s down throws), leaving it as an uncommon advantage. In ''Ultimate'', certain throws that lack hitboxes use an effect similar to hitlag before releasing the opponent, such as {{SSBU|Marth}}'s forward, back, and down throws; however, this effect has a set duration specific to each throw, and affects both the user and victim and makes the victim [[invincible]] alongside the user's natural throw invincibility. | |||
