Talk:Light Arrow

OK, what is a Koro... whatever? And is it significant evidence? -Oxico 15:18, January 10, 2008 (EST)

Coro Coro is a Japanese gaming magazine. They haven't been too useful on Brawl info in the past, but their latest issue revealed some cheap trading cards featuring the confirmed Brawl characters. I had no idea that Zelda's card had a picture of her Final Smash. And that picture in the external links is definitely a Final Smash; she's glowing, and there's a dark background.

...eh....sounds sketchy....I don't know...well, only a month until release, so I am gonna let this one go. --Oxico 17:28, January 10, 2008 (EST)

Just so you know, Corocoro is very reliable. There were the first to reveal the 4th Generation Pokemon for Diamond and Pearl. Magiciandude 16:17, January 11, 2008 (EST)

Just that they could be pulling a trick or something. But, the photo is very convincing. --Oxico 17:17, January 11, 2008 (EST)

Here you have the Link, that website is useful after all.--Fandangox 17:52, January 10, 2008 (EST)

Table Change Required

I don't know how to do it myself, but the table needs to be changed from Zelda /Sheik to Zelda, Sheik. I don't know the code required by this particular type of table to put two separate entries in the "users" section. PenguinofDeath 18:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

The Final Smash infobox is currently not compatible with multiple users. I'm going to work on it after a bit more practice with infobox design (I made the original, by the way). Toomai Glittershine eXemplary Logic 21:28, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Piercing Effect

Sorry, I didn't know about that rule. Had I known, I wouldn't have done it a second time.

Light Arrow definitely pierces through intangibility frames. It does not pierce through invincibility frames. (So it can't hurt someone affected by a Starman) Try dodging it via sidestepping, except at extreme distances. I have tried both and I can consistently dodge Light Arrow in training iff (if and only if) Zelda is far enough away. (Which is about the distance from the leftmost side of the second leftmost, solid platform of New Pork City to the leftmost side of the first fallthrough platform, albeit, slightly farther) If you try to do it the other way, it can not work. Moreover, it paralyzes the player if it is within range, preventing them from jumping out of the way.

Please try it. You can just do it in training (so long as you have two controllers) like I did. I tried about 10 times both ways, and it was fairly consistent.

And again, I'm sorry for not reading the rules. I just wanted to help this site out and I got angry when I shouldn't have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.100.113 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

Are you sure that it pierces intangibility, or is it just that the hitbox lasts more frames than any sidestepping's intangibility? Miles (talk) 19:35, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

Positive. First of all, if you are close enough, you can see that the character is stunned, immediately. I have tried various timings, lest it work if you do it before, instead of after. Secondly, I have tried doing it simultaneously as well as slightly after it in an attempt to avoid it. No such luck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.100.113 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

Firstly, put ~~~~ after your posts on talk pages to sign them.

Secondly, it's actually possible that the "hit" of the Light Arrow can hit through intangibility. The reason is that it doesn't use a normal hitbox, or even a special one - it uses what I call an inert hitbox. Now, I don't know much about inert hitboxes other than the following:

• They're used to detect collisions without using actual hitboxes, such as Motion-Sensor Bombs, Snake's explosives, detecting items to eat, and so on.
• There is one variable at the end that is 0 for almost every inert hitbox I've looked at except three - Zelda's Light Arrow, Sheik's Light Arrow, and Samus' Bomb. So there might be something there.

I'll look into this when I have some free time. Toomai Glittershine The Ghostbuster 22:38, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
