[[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. | |||
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 - in fact, only [[Porky]], [[Meta Ridley]], and [[Tabuu]] do not. Projectiles are also generally [[special move]]s executed with the [[B]] button, but characters like {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} have [[smash attack]]s that are projectiles. | |||
