Falco's shine can reflect projectiles with 1.5 times the original damage (not knockback however). Despite this, many competitive players will not opt to use shine for this purpose and instead attempt to [[powershield]] projectiles, as powershielding projectiles is faster, less punishable, and easier to follow up on; powershield frames become active on frame 1 of the shield (reflection takes place on frame 4 as detailed below), and furthermore upon reflecting something with the shine, Falco will experience hitlag than he cannot jump out of (and consequently cannot waveshine out of), negating any sort of follow up ability off reflection and potentially allowing opponents to punish Falco for shining projectiles.

The only flaw with the Reflector is that it will shatter if it bounces back the same projectile too many times due to an an upper limit to how much base damage the reflected projectile should have before making contact with the Reflector. When this happens, Falco will go through the stun animation and be completely vulnerable to attack.
