'''Priority''' is a property of [[hitbox]]es in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series]]'' that defines their behaviour when interacting with other hitboxes. The mechanics of normal priority state that two attacks will cancel each other out if they deal similar damage (within 8%), whereas otherwise one attack will overpower and go through the other - aerial attacks, however, are not completely interrupted. Certain hitboxes also have transcendent priority, which prevents them from colliding with other attacks, for example, the hitboxes of [[Fox]]'s [[Blaster|lasers]] cannot be canceled by attacks. The term "priority" is often - technically incorrectly - used as a measure of an attack's hitbox location and timing.
