'''Reflection''' is a phenomenon wherein one [[fighter]] gains control of an opponent's projectile and uses it as their own attack. Most but not all projectiles reverse direction upon being reflected, sending them back to their original users.
'''Reflection''' is a phenomenon wherein one [[fighter]] gains control of an enemy's projectile and uses it as their own attack. Most, but not all projectiles reverse direction upon being reflected, sending them back to their original users.


==Properties==
To be reflected, a projectile must come into contact with an attack or object that reflects, such as the aptly-named [[Reflector]], [[Ness]]'s [[forward smash]], or a character wearing a [[Franklin Badge]]. Most reflectors increase the damage done by projectiles, while some also increase their speed. Projectiles can be reflected from any direction, and can be reflected multiple times to multiplicatively increase the damage dealt.
To be reflected, a projectile must come into contact with an attack or object that reflects, such as the aptly-named [[Reflector]], [[Ness]]'s [[forward smash]], or a character wearing a [[Franklin Badge]]. Most reflectors increase the damage done by projectiles, as well as the speed at which they travel back, and can also change their remaining active period (lifespan) to further adjust how much effective distance they can cover. Reflected projectiles also change ownership from the original user to the reflector, damaging the original user if they are hit. Projectiles can be reflected in any direction, and can be reflected multiple times to multiplicatively increase the damage dealt. A projectile can theoretically be reflected an infinite amount of times as long as it is active and will change ownership every time, though most reflecting attacks can only reflect projectiles up to a certain damage threshold before some kind of counter-measure activates.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', if a projectile is too strong for a reflector, the reflector breaks as if it was a [[shield]] and [[stun]]s the user. From ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, the projectile simply ignores the reflector and hits the user. In the case of Ness's or Lucas's forward smash, should the overpowered projectile collide with the move's hitbox without striking the user, they undergo a proportionally-substantial amount of lag due to being [[priority|outprioritized]].
In ''SSB64'' and ''Melee'', if a projectile is too strong for a reflector, the reflector breaks as if it was a [[shield]] and [[stun]]s its user. From ''Brawl'' onwards, the projectile simply ignores the reflector and hits its user anyway. In the case of Ness's or Lucas's forward smash, should the overpowered projectile collide with the move's hitbox without striking the user, he will undergo a proportionally-substantial amount of lag due to being [[priority|outprioritized]].


Reflectors are generally very useful moves, as they help prevent projectile [[camping]] and [[spamming]]. As such, characters with reliable reflectors tend to have better matchups against characters that rely upon projectiles, such as [[Samus]], than those who lack a reliable reflector.

In addition to the above, {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}} are able to grab projectiles and items and store them for later use via their [[neutral special]] move, [[Pocket]]. While not strictly a reflector, retrieved projectiles have their damage increased by 1.9×, much like the damage multipliers used by reflectors.
In addition to the above, {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}} are able to grab projectiles and items and store them for later use via [[Pocket]]. While not strictly a reflector, retrieved projectiles gain a 1.9x damage multiplier generally associated with reflectors.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', projectiles can only be reflected up to 7 times before disappearing. Additionally, in ''Ultimate'', a visual indicator in the form of a flashing blue hexagon (akin to Fox's {{b|Reflector|Fox}}) is displayed when a projectile is reflected.
 
In [[Spirit Battle]]s, damage dealt by reflected projectiles is increased by the "Reflect-Damage Buffed" rule, often accompanied by the "All fighters' reflected projectiles have increased power" condition.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Of all reflections in the ''Smash'' series:
*Not counting ''Melee{{'}}s'' powershield, since [[Princess Zelda|Zelda's]] [[Nayru's Love]] and [[King Dedede]]'s [[Inhale (King Dedede)|Inhale]] in ''Ultimate'' are the only [[neutral special]] reflection moves, they are the only reflection moves that [[Kirby]] can copy or use.
**Left Splits Kick has the highest damage multiplier at 2.4x
**Ness' forward smash and home run bat are tied for highest speed multiplier at 2.5x
*Since [[Zelda]]'s [[Nayru's Love]] and [[King Dedede]]'s {{b|Inhale|King Dedede}} in ''Ultimate'' are [[neutral special]] moves that can reflect projectiles, they can also be used by [[Kirby]] via his Copy Ability.
*[[Pit]] is the only character to have different reflectors between games.
*[[Pit]] is the only character to have different reflectors between games.
*Prior to version 1.0.8 of ''[[Smash 4]]'', all but the final hit of [[Zoroark]]'s Fury Swipes could be reflected. By wearing a [[Franklin Badge]], a character trapped by Zoroark would only take damage from the final hit of the attack.
*Prior to version 1.0.8 of ''[[Smash 4]]'', all but the final hit of [[Zoroark]]'s Fury Swipes were technically considered projectiles. By wearing a [[Franklin Badge]], a character trapped by Zoroark would only take damage from the final hit of the attack.
*[[Ness]], [[Lucas]], [[Min Min]], and [[Kazuya]] are the only fighters whose reflection moves are not [[special move]]s. Out of these, Ness' is the only one to be present in all ''Smash'' games.
*[[Hero]] has the most reflectable attacks out of any playable fighter in the entire {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, with a total of 14.
*If the [[Shadow]] [[Assist Trophy]] freezes a character performing a reflection attack, the reflection hitbox will remain active until being unfrozen and trigger if hit. This causes a side effect of some attacks being able to reflect much longer than intended.
