Hitboxes

Charge Shot's damage, shield damage, base knockback, knockback scaling, and radius are linearly scaled from the minimum charge hitbox to the maximum charge hitbox for every charge frame. The sound effect's level also changes to M (Medium) when reaching at least half of the move's charge, then to L (Large) at full charge.

Timing

Not fully charged

The move takes 13 frames to initiate before it can fire or start charging, and can be charge-canceled after this period. The timings listed below are without this initiation period. Charge-canceling also incurs 4 frames of lag before the selected action.

Hitbox	3-62
Interruptible	32
Animation length	54

Fully charged

This data includes the startup period, as it is unlikely to release the Charge Shot at maximum charge from the charge animation.

Hitbox	16-75
Interruptible	61
Animation length	74
