The log or doll can be hit and flung around by damage, and can even stop one-hit projectiles such as [[Shadow Ball]] or [[Charge Shot]], or activate hitbox-detecting attacks like [[Upperdash Arm]] and [[Quick Draw]], making it a situational shield. It disappears after a few seconds. | ||
This move is functionally similar to Lucario's [[Double Team]] as a counterattack; however, a direction can be held after a successful counter to perform the countering attack in that direction. The counterattack can be directed in eight directions, including diagonally. If aimed downwards, the counterattack will [[meteor smash]], although Greninja will likely [[self-destruct]] if this is done offstage. | This move is functionally similar to Lucario's [[Double Team]] as a counterattack; however, a direction can be held after a successful counter to perform the countering attack in that direction.
