A '''reflector''' is an attack, usually a [[special move]], whose [[hitbox]]es reflect any [[projectile]]s or thrown [[item]] they collide with in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. Generally, when projectiles are reflected, they become stronger and sometimes move faster upon being reflected (depends on the specific reflector). It is possible for a single projectile to be reflected multiple times, such as back and forth between two characters' reflectors. Since the projectile becomes more powerful with each reflect, it is possible for the reflected projectile to gain [[One-hit KO]] potential. In ''Melee'', if a projectile is too strong, such as one that has been reflected multiple times, it will pass through and break a reflector it comes in contact with, similar to a [[shield break]]. In ''Brawl'', a projectile that is too powerful to be reflected will simply ignore and pass through a reflector it makes contact with.

Reflectors are generally very useful moves that can be vital, 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]], then those who lack a reliable reflector.
