[[File:Sephiroth Neutral B 3 SSBU.gif|thumb| Sephiroth's [[Gigaflare]] is an example of a projectile.]]
[[File:fireball.jpg|thumb|Mario's [[fireball]] is an example of a projectile]]


A '''projectile''' is an attack or other object that operates independently of the character that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item]]s. Most projectiles can be [[reflect]]ed, while others can also be [[absorb]]ed.
A '''projectile''' is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it. They are typically used to create pressure on an opponent. This may be shield pressure or pressure to give up stage control. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item]]s. Almost all projectiles can be [[reflect]]ed, while others can also be [[absorb]]ed.


A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile, as they can be very useful in both [[approach]]ing and [[camp]]ing out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take [[hitlag]] while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.
A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three, and for the most part, one of these projectiles serves as the character's [[neutral special]] attack. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile (with there being 13 characters who do not have a projectile), as they can be very useful in both [[approach]]ing and [[camp]]ing out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take [[hitlag]] while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.


As projectiles are (in general) considered [[Specials: Indirect|indirect attacks]], the vast majority of enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] resist them outside of any weak points they may have - in fact, only [[Porky]], [[Meta Ridley]], and [[Tabuu]] do not. Projectiles are also generally [[special move]]s executed with the [[B]] button, but some characters, including {{SSBB|Snake}}, the {{SSB4|Villager}}, and {{SSB4|Mega Man}} have other attacks that are projectiles.

Due to Zero Suit Samus becoming a separate character and no longer being connected to Samus in the later games, the armor pieces do not exist in ''Smash 4'' or ''Ultimate'' and therefore, cannot be utilized.

Latest revision as of 01:26, November 29, 2024

Sephiroth's Gigaflare is an example of a projectile.

A projectile is an attack or object that operates independently of the character that used it. They are typically used to create pressure on an opponent. This may be shield pressure or pressure to give up stage control. Common examples of projectiles include the Charge Shot, Blaster shots, and thrown items. Almost all projectiles can be reflected, while others can also be absorbed.

A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three, and for the most part, one of these projectiles serves as the character's neutral special attack. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile (with there being 13 characters who do not have a projectile), as they can be very useful in both approaching and camping out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take hitlag while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

As projectiles are (in general) considered indirect attacks, the vast majority of enemies in the Subspace Emissary resist them outside of any weak points they may have — in fact, only Porky, Meta Ridley, and Tabuu do not. Projectiles are also generally special moves executed with the B button, but since Brawl, some characters, such as Snake, Olimar, the Villager, and Mega Man, have standard attacks that are projectiles.

Projectiles used by characters[edit]

This table includes all non-Final Smash projectiles for every character, as well as some important properties of each. Note that, while a projectile may not be absorbable, that does not exclude the ability to be Pocketed.

Character Projectiles Reflectable Absorbable Unique/Special Properties
Banjo & Kazooie Egg Firing / Breegull Blaster Yes No
Shock Spring Jump (aerial usage) Yes No
Rear Egg Yes Yes The explosions can be absorbed
Bayonetta Bullet Climax Yes No Chargeable, though that only affects the first two shots. Pressing the special move button repeatedly causes her to continue firing.
Bowser Fire Breath Yes Yes Size and length decreases as Bowser continues to breathe, and releasing the special move button causes the move to passively charge up over time
Bowser Jr. Mechakoopa Yes No
Abandon Ship! No No The Clown Car becomes a projectile after being abandoned.
Clown Cannon Yes No
Byleth Failnaught Yes Yes/No Only the max charged arrows can be absorbed.
Charizard Flamethrower Yes Yes Can be tilted up and down. Can be held forever, but fire length gradually decreases.
Rock Smash fragments Yes No  
Cloud Blade Beam Yes Yes
Corrin Dragon Fang Shot Yes Yes Only the projectile attack can be absorbed. Can be charged to change size and damage.
Daisy Toad Yes Yes The spores produced on a successful counterattack are projectiles.
Vegetable Yes No Produces a vegetable item, and rarely Bob-ombs or Mr. Saturns.
Dark Pit Silver Bow Yes Yes Chargeable and controllable. Can be held for a slightly limited time, and can be aimed up.
Dark Samus Charge Shot Yes Yes Follows straight trajectory; chargeable. Can be charged while on the ground or in midair. Fired at a lower elevation compared to Samus.
Missile Yes No Can fire a homing missile or super missile.
Bomb Yes No Detonates either instantly upon contact with an opponent or after a set period of time.
Diddy Kong Peanut Popgun Yes No Can be charged, which increases damage and speed while flattening the movement angle, but charging too much causes the move to fail. Can be grabbed and subsequently thrown as an item. The overcharge explosion in SSB4 cannot be reflected or absorbed.
Banana Peel Yes No Produces a Banana Peel.
Rocketbarrel Boost (when the barrels come off) Yes NoSuper Smash Bros. Brawl
YesSuper Smash Bros. 4Super Smash Bros. Ultimate		 Has a random trajectory. Cannot be shielded. The barrels explode when crashing into the stage, which can be absorbed in SSB4.
Dr. Mario Megavitamins Yes YesSuper Smash Bros. Melee
NoSuper Smash Bros. 4Super Smash Bros. Ultimate		 Affected by gravity, and bounces on the ground.
Duck Hunt Trick Shot Yes Yes Can be launched higher and/or farther by pressing the special move button repeatedly. Explodes after a while, or if it hits an enemy. The explosion alone can be absorbed, but the hit right before it cannot.
Clay Shooting Yes Yes The clay pigeon is shot if the special move button is pressed, and the resulting explosion of the pigeon can be absorbed. If hit by an attack (including ones that normally would reflect projectiles), then it breaks automatically.
Wild Gunman Yes No
Falco Blaster Yes Yes Follows a straight trajectory, and causes flinching. The lasers are also used in his back, up, and down throws, and can also be reflected and absorbed in said moves.
Reflector NoSuper Smash Bros. BrawlSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate
YesSuper Smash Bros. 4		 No Considered a projectile in Brawl and SSB4. Reflectors do not affect the trajectory, but they will reflect the hitbox.
Up throw (blaster) Yes Yes The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles
Back throw (blaster) Yes Yes The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles
Down throw (blaster) Yes Yes The lasers fired from the blaster are projectiles

Blizzard Yes Yes  
Inkling Splattershot Yes Yes Requires ink to use.
Splat Bomb Yes Yes A projectile that explodes after a fixed time. The bomb needs a certain amount of ink to be activated, and if the Ink Tank does not have enough ink, Inkling cannot throw a bomb. Its trajectory can be controlled by how long the player holds the special button.
Isabelle Dash attack Yes No Trips and drops a small pot.
Forward aerial Yes No Fires a slingshot pellet.
Back aerial Yes No Fires a slingshot pellet.
Lloid Trap Yes No Planted in the ground and shoots out vertically. Activates when someone steps over it.
Ivysaur Bullet Seed Yes No Can be held for limited time.
Razor Leaf Yes No Goes farther if the control stick is flicked.
Joker Eiha/Eigaon Yes Yes A slow-moving projectile which does a small amount of damage when it connects, but deals continuous damage for a short amount of time.

With Arsène active, the move becomes Eigaon, which covers more distance and travels faster. It also does more continuous damage.

Grappling Hook Yes No Reflectors will block the Grappling Hook, but will not harm Joker.
Kazuya Devil Blaster Yes Yes A long ranged projectile that can fire straight ahead, or it can be angled upward or downward.
Ken Hadoken Yes Yes A slow, blue energy projectile. Input Hadoken is larger and deals more damage.
King Dedede Inhale (spit-out character) Yes No Spits in a straight trajectory.
Waddle Dee Toss Yes/No Yes/No Affected by gravity, and can be angled up or down, and shortened or lengthened. Waddle Doos' Beam Whip can be reflected or absorbed, Gordos and thrown items can be reflected, while tossed Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos cannot.
Gordo Throw Yes No Can be reflected by any attack that deals at least 2%.
Super Dedede Jump (stars produced) Yes Yes  
King K. Rool Blunderbuss Yes No Can be sucked back in, and be shot again in certain directions. If a Kannonball hits something, it'll fall down and retain its hitbox until it disappears.
Crownerang Yes No Tries to return to King K. Rool. Grants King K. Rool damage based armor (12%) starting at frame 6 that lasts up until the move ends. Crown will always try travel in its general direction, and can't be stopped by other attacks, but it can still be reflected. If King K. Rool fails to catch the crown, it'll become an item that can be picked up by other players. The move can't be used again until King K. Rool retrieves the crown.
Kirby Inhale (spit-out character and swallow) Yes No The character turned into a star will be shot out of Kirby's mouth in a straight trajectory in front of him if he spits that character out. If he swallows a character, the star will appear behind him with the same properties but with much shorter range. If reflected and it hits Kirby, he will keep his copy ability, but the swallow animation will stop a few frames earlier.
Final Cutter (shock wave) Yes Yes Produces a wave after Kirby touches the ground, hugging it and following a straight trajectory.
May copy another character's neutral special projectile.
Link Forward smash Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Yes Yes Shoots a spinning Sword Beam, which only comes out when Link is at 0% damage.
Boomerang/Gale Boomerang Yes No Tries to return to Link. Can be angled. In Brawl and SSB4, it produces a windbox effect on return.

YesSuper Smash Bros. 4		 Produces a Bomb, which acts as an item. It explodes after seven seconds, and can deal self-damage.
Bow/Hero's Bow/Bow and Arrows Yes No Can be charged, and held forever (or for three seconds in Ultimate) before releasing. The charge affects the firing speed and distance. Affected by gravity, and stops moving when it hits the ground. In Ultimate, arrows dropped on the ground or attached to a wall become throwable items, and two arrows can be fired at once if Link uses his neutral special while holding an arrow.
Remote Bomb Yes Yes A bomb that bounces off opponents and has to be detonated by pressing down special again. Cannot be detonated when held or during special fall.
Lucario Aura Sphere Yes Yes Waves up and down slightly; moves perfectly straight when fully charged. Can be held indefinitely, which damages foes who touch the projectile.
Force Palm's aura Yes Yes At close range, grabs the opponent instead of spawning a projectile.
Lucas PK Freeze Yes Yes Affected by gravity, and can be tilted forward or backward.
PK Fire Yes Yes Travels directly forward, and disappears after about 3/8 of the way across Final Destination.

Power Suit Pieces Yes No Exclusive to her appearance in Brawl.

Starts off the match with three throwable items from her discrarded power suit. The armor pieces are very powerful if properly used as they deal high damage and knockback and synergise very well with Zero Suit Samus' long glide toss, granting her great stage control and allowing her to utilize them for combos, approaches, or even KO's if the opponent is at a high enough percent. Due to Zero Suit Samus becoming a separate character and no longer being connected to Samus in the later games, the armor pieces do not exist in Smash 4 or Ultimate and therefore, cannot be utilized.
