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 '''projectile''' is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it. 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 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.
