Definition
The term "Cape" refers to Mario's Cape and Doctor Mario's Super Sheet (smash B). Either Cape action has the ability to reflect projectiles and spin characters in the opposite direction (even if they're shielding). The Cape deals 10% damage and has no knockback. This means that it will not interrupt attacks; rather, it only turns the enemy character around. This can leave recovering characters unable to grab the ledge.
Usage Variations
The Cape attacks can also be pronounced as a verb (capes, caped, caping), i.e. "I just caped that Marth's recovery and won the tournament!"
Caping a character at the ledge may also be referred to as "shaming" your opponent.
