Editing Talk:Priority

Except the example is untrue. Try it sometime - the jab clanks with the forward smash (at least in Melee). In Melee, "priority" should properly refer to these ideas:

* controller slot priority, as outlined on [[Smasher:Mew2King]]'s website. If player 1 and player 2 initiate a grab on the exact same frame, player 1's grab wins. There are a few other such examples.
* a ''vague'' understanding of which attacks tend to go through others as an effect of [[hitbox]] duration, range, speed, and invincibility frames. Priority in this sense is no specific stat but a general effect. All that ''actually'' matters with colliding attacks is whether the attacking hitbox hits the defending one.

Anybody who tells you high-priority attacks go through others due to their "power" or any specific "priority" stat is mistaken. I don't know if this element has changed in Brawl or was present in the original, but at least in regards to Melee we need to address this issue exactly. <font face="centaur">&ndash; [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 06:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

== Is it just me? ==

Or do most of G & W's attacks cancel others, no matter how weak or strong they are? For example, I was watching him negate a Falcon Punch with his forward tilt, and C. Falcon's forward smash with down tilt. Should this be noted, or is it just me?

==<big>O . O</big>==
From what I read in this well written (IMO, Feature-worthy) article, priority is based on how one attack can out damage the other. '''Captain Falcon's FSmash in Brawl is not that low priority, if anything very high'''. As well as his other moves! Ness's UTilt has bad priority, not the supposedly high priority! The Priority concept seems to be confused at high levels of play. It seems a very large majority of the moveset articles and various special move pages will need (<small>another...</small>) MASSIVE rewriting and rethinking, as well as giving [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|certain]] [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Brawl characters]] proper accreditation. I was thinking of starting with Captain Falcon (SSBB), but I can't do this alone. Say, this should be a project... anyone, help?

==Aerials==
There's some shiz about aerials that needs to be rewritten for accuracy. Turns out they can collide, but not in the same way as ground attacks. For now, don't accept anything in the aerials section as true. [[User:Mako Shark|Mako Shark]] ([[User talk:Mako Shark|talk]]) 08:34, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay turns out:
*ZSS' n-air can collide with Falco's b-air (as in, produce a collision bubble) and both moves continue through with their animations, but become harmless. This is unusual; there's a small chance that ZSS' n-air may actually behave like a projectile.
*Kirby's b-air cannot collide with Falco's b-air, they go straight through each other and damage both parties. I'm under the impression that most aerials behave like this until proven otherwise.
*ZSS' u-smash can collide with Falco's d-air, but neither move gets cancelled, and the remaining hits of the u-smash get the better of Falco after the collision. Dunno what that's about, will investigate further.
[[User:Mako Shark|Mako Shark]] ([[User talk:Mako Shark|talk]]) 08:41, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

:Projectiles still follow the 8% rule just like any other attack. As for Snake's remote missle, it does not follow normal priority. It behaves like an item such as the capsule, the remote missle has an damagable hitbox. As such, that is why it changes trajectories when hit by another hitbox and projectiles aren't canceled out by it, they simply hit it.

==Clarification==

Two things directed at Omega Tyrant's general... location. When you mentioned the sweetspot of Pikachu's f-smash, were you referring to the
bit on the end, or the bit in his cheeks? The bit in his cheeks is the sweetspot, but the bit on the end has more range, obviously. If you already know this, or it's a widely known fact, I may just be making myself look like an idiot, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Might be worth clarifying on the page if it's not widely known.

Also, something's up with ZSS' up smash. I swear you can cancel at least one of its hits, clash bubble and everything, with a standard aerial, and it doesn't get cancelled itself. If you cancel one of its hitboxes halfway through the attack, it hits you afterwards if you were on your way down. I tried it with Falco's dair. Would you (or someone else) mind looking into this maybe? I'd do it, but I have flat batteries johns right now. [[User:Mako Shark|Mako Shark]] ([[User talk:Mako Shark|talk]]) 17:33, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
:Well you discovered another attack that follows this exception. I just tested it and seen Marth's fair collide with a hitbox in Zamus's u-smash. I also noticed that this hitbox of Zamus's u-smash behaves like an aerial, the hit box is cancelled out but her u-smash is not. As for Pikachu, his f-smash has three hitboxes, the hitbox right next to his cheeks which is the sweetspot, the hitbox farther away near the tip, and a hitbox that occurs later in the attack's duration. The hitbox near his cheeks is the strongest hitbox and therefore it is considered the sweetspot. So yes, this is the hitbox with transcendent priority.

==Overuse and Misuse of the Term "Priority"==

I am tired of seeing this word on every single page, always being used improperly. When this article was rewritten (it clearly didn't have any of this info before anyone bothered to get off their couch and do some testing about how priority actually works), why wasn't every other page concerning priority rewritten? Like say... ALL of the fighter pages? I'm tired having to take out every irrelevant mention of the word, rewriting entire sections because half of them were dedicated to how "high" or "low" priority the moves had (when the move was either high in '''damage''', was '''multi-hitting''', or had '''instantaneous start up''' (or any combination of the three), none of which except for damage, have anything to do with priority), and having to think of something else to put in place of it.

And the worst part of it is that no one else has stepped up to the plate and done this. I know at some point we'll all have to do it, but this is on a much larger scale and I clearly don't have the time to look for the darn word on every page it's being misused on. --[[User:Smashgold347238|Smashgold347238]] ([[User talk:Smashgold347238|talk]]) 07:40, 27 December 2011 (EST)

How Priority is determined in Smash 4?

:It's very possible that the moves he's clanking with just don't have the range to actually hit him. They certainly collide, but that doesn't mean the characters have to be hitting each other. In fact, if the hitboxes don't overlap but the characters are within range, they will actually trade with each other and not clank at all. This is applicable to every game.

== Low Priority Existing in Other Games... ==

When I was testing Fox Illusion and Falco Phantasm in ''Melee'', I found that they acted exactly the same way as they did in ''Smash 4''. If a hitbox connects with Fox or Falco, they never trade and they always get hit. I'm thinking priority is more complicated than we thought and previous sentiments about Brawl Captain Falcon were right.

:Maybe it's the moves themselves. The hitboxes of Fox Illusion and Falco Phantasm are behind their user, which makes it so that they get hit first in every case.

Please do not remove a bunch of detailed information and replace it with basically saying "it's a balance mechanic", a claim which doesn't actually have any proof at the moment.

:No one is going to get that theory, and KH already clarified in that video that there is no separate priority reserved for projectiles or items (see Villager's bowling ball vs. Timber). He also said that whether or not these attacks are in fact props shouldn't matter (as Zero Suit Samus's n-air uses her whip, which is a prop, but does not have low priority). I think I laid out a perfectly good reason why said attacks are of low priority anyway. I'd hate it if Bayonetta was charging an up smash, directly below me, and I had no other way to avoid it without using something like Diddy Kong's Monkey Flip.

== Robin's Thoron ==

I think this attack needs its own category of priority. At full charge, it acts as laser priority where it passes through everything and everything passes through it however it can also out-prioritise other projectiles and go right through them. This is distinctly different from Falcos laser, Mewtwos full charge shadow ball which can be stopped by things like bombs and mechakoopas.

I also believe this has the same properties as Robs laser but I really don't know enough about Rob to say anything about that.

You do it by selecting "new section" --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] <font color="Green">'''Happy Holidays from'''</font> [[User:BeepYou|<font color="Red">'''BeepYou :)'''</font>]] [[User talk:BeepYou|<font color="Red">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 05:25, 23 December 2016 (EST)

As far as the data goes, Thoron is indirect and can clang. However, because projectiles can't rebound and it doesn't disappear on hit, cancelling its earlier hitboxes won't do anything to stop the later hitboxes from coming through. This is unlike Falco's lasers and Shadow Ball, which have a single hitbox and then die.

== Testing for Transcendent Priority ==
I am aware that moves with the afformentioned type of priority do not clash with other moves. So, lets say a move fails to destroy Mario's Fireball, and the character still takes damage despite the hitboxes connecting with each other. Would that mean the move has transcendent priority if it doesn't destroy the Fireball? [[User:Thecontributor22|Thecontributor22]] ([[User talk:Thecontributor22|talk]]) 21:23, March 20, 2019 (EDT)

== Proposal to change/add pictures in the Gallery section ==

In my opinion, it's been a long time coming since the pics in the gallery section started to become outdated, this in part due to there being two (three) new games that have come out since then. New types of priority for attacks have been introduced since then, and aspects of priority have also been altered so that they differ from previous games.

With ''Ultimate'' now out since approximately a year and a half, I saw it plausible that some of the pictures in the gallery could be replaced (with a few exceptions) while some others could be added to point out the properties of priority. I already got the pictures that could replace some of the older ones (it didn't take me long at all to get them), but I wanted consensus on whether or not the pictures should be replaced.

What do you people think? --[[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 22:48, April 16, 2020 (EDT)

== Is brawl the only game where ZSS's down smash is transcendent? ==

I'm asking because only brawl is labeled as a game where it has transcendent priority but in her smash 4 page, it doesn't say the move lost transcendent priority in the "changes from brawl" section. [[User:SacredFire37|SacredFire37]] ([[User talk:SacredFire37|talk]]) 00:03, March 28, 2021 (EDT)

== Sephiroth's Shadow Flare ==

How would Shadow Flare's initial shot be described in the sections for exceptions from normal priority? It seems to have priority behavior not seen in any other projectile in Ultimate - it obeys normal rules against enemy normals, clanking with grounded hitboxes and being destroyed by any aerial as expected, but it goes right through enemy projectiles, trampling any projectile weak enough to be in its priority range but still persisting through stronger projectiles as if it was transcendent. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:75.142.213.118|75.142.213.118]] ([[User talk:75.142.213.118|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/75.142.213.118|contribs]]) 04:53, November 29, 2024 (EST)</small>
