Recoil damage

Introduced in Melee, some attacks and special moves have the recoil damage property, meaning that the user instantly receives damage when using a move under certain circumstances. While there are even more characters who have special moves that allow them to damage themselves, such as Snake's C4, that does not count as recoil damage.
