Definition

I think the definition of a projectile in this article is very uncertain. Many hitboxss leaves the characters body. Maybe we should only take attacks other than item throws that can be reflected as projectiles?Timothyung 10:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Isn't Snake's Up Special a Projectile? The Cypher flies up, creating a Hitbox...

yes it is. i've been hit by it before it's only a little bit of damage but it does inflict some. Carbonkirby 06:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I would consider a projectile to be an attack that moves INDEPENDENTLY of the character. So basically it moves regardless of what the player is doing. Items ARE a projectile in the looser sense. Things like swords and other disjointed hitboxes would not count here, even things like Aether. Maybe the definition of projectile could have to do with how they are stopped. Plain old attacks don't get stopped by Resetti or breakable scenery but projectile do. But then this brings the question of Robo Beam, which is only stopped by vertical walls. It's a bit tricky.- Gargomon251 08:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, other than some PK attacks, most projectiles keep moving even after the user is struck or KOd. Thus I still don't consider Reflector or Aether projectiles, since they have preprogrammed paths that cannot be stopped by walls etc. All projectiles are stopped by walls, right? But what about something like Zero Laser? Is this a "projectile" ir just a VERY VERY LONG disjointed hitbox? Think about it! This and Mario Finale more or less remain attached to the character, right? - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Falco ssbb

Is Falco's reflector in brawl a projectile? Masterman (talk) 18:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is. I had added it a while ago, but someone got rid of it. It functions just like the boomerangs, but with shorter range and other properties. But it is still projected and meets the definition. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 18:41, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if is a projectile just because it leaves the hitbox. Most projectiles can be reflected or abosrbed, but his reflector cannot. Also, it doesn't really leave the collision bubbles either. I think of his Reflector more like a tilt instead. But I guess this is disputable... ItemHazard (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

I think that it is more like a disjointed hitbox than a projectile. It's just like Fox's reflector, but with a bit more range. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 02:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Lucario

Wouldn't his force palm be counted as a projectile? Hatake91 (talk)

Not Sure. ItemHazard (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

Not at all, it's just a disjointed hitbox. It doesn't move on its own like any true projectile.

Diddy Kong

Aren't his barrels counted as a projectile? If he gets hit while using UpB, they eventually leave his collision bubbles. ItemHazard (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

In that case, absolutely.- Gargomon251 (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Disable

Is disable a projectile? It's proven that it can be reflected, but it's very short range and limited use makes it hard to tell... - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

If it can be reflected, then it's a projectile. At least, that's what I think. - GalaxiaD (talk) 01:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Waddle Dee Toss can't be reflected...-Gargomon251 (talk) 03:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

any attack refelected by a refelector is a projectile.72.197.66.113 04:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
