Samus (SSBU)/Side special

Samus side special hitbox visualizations.
Missile	Super Missile

Overview

Samus fires a Missile with a tilt input or a Super Missile with a smash input. The missiles have a duration of 120 and 76 frames respectively.

Update History

2.0.0

• Missiles follow the Pokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Aerial Missile has slightly more ending lag (FAF 60 → 62), no longer being less laggy than Dark Samus's version.

Hitboxes

Due to the 0° angle's special behavior in Ultimate, the homing Missile's angle changes to 32° if it deals knockback of at least 120 units. However, under normal damage and knockback conditions, this does not take effect until ludicrously high damage percents (over 500% for middleweights).
