A '''projectile''' is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it. They are typically used to create pressure on an opponent. This may be shield pressure or pressure to give up stage control. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item]]s. Almost all projectiles can be [[reflect]]ed, while others can also be [[absorb]]ed. | A '''projectile''' is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it.

A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three, and for the most part, one these projectiles serves as the character's [[neutral special]] attack. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile (with there being 13 characters who do not have 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. | A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three, and for the most part, one of these projectiles serves as the character's [[neutral special]] attack.

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 since ''[[Brawl]]'', some characters, such as {{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|Olimar}}, the {{SSB4|Villager}}, and {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, have [[standard attack]]s that are projectiles. | 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.

|[[Power Suit Piece]]s {{GameIcon|SSBB}} ||{{y}}||{{n}}||Exclusive to her appearence in ''Brawl''. | |||
Starts off the match with three throwable items from her discrarded power suit. The armor pieces are very powerful if properly used as they deal high damage and knockback and synergise very well with Zero Suit Samus' long [[glide toss]], granting her great stage control and allowing her to utilize them for combos, approaches, or even KO's if the opponent is at a high enough percent. Due to Zero Suit Samus becoming a separate character and no longer being connected to Samus in the later games, the armor pieces do not exist in ''Smash 4'' or ''Ultimate'' and therefore, cannot be utilized. | |||
