Spawned objects carry their own hitboxes. Some moves put all of their damage here and none on the fighter, so this is where their numbers live. Frames count from the article appearing, not from the input.

✕HDR removes this move’s hitboxes.

CliffEscape

⇥The hit lasts as long as the object carrying it does. Its script never closes the hitbox, so the active frames end where the article’s life runs out.

Cannonball is on the field for up to 180 frames (param_cannonball.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Cannonball: Shoot, Cannonball: Hop

↛The move creates something this site has no table for — an item, or an article with no hitbox of its own. The name shown is the engine’s own, not a heading to go looking for.

Also spawns hammer — the engine's name for it, and there is no table for it here.Up Air, Up Special (JrAttack)

➔Damage comes from a spawned article, listed under Projectiles & Articles.

•Other notes.

FAF here is the animation's length: the motion list sets no cancel frame for this action, so the true actionable frame may be earlier.Attack100Start, AttackS4Charge, AttackHi4Charge, AttackLw4Charge, Neutral Special (Start), Neutral Special (Air, Start), Side Special (Start), Side Special (CliffJump), Side Special (Air, Start), Up Special (Start), Up Special (JrRise), Up Special (DamageEnd), Up Special (Air, Start), DownDamageU, DownDamageU3, DownDamageD, DownDamageD3, PassiveWall, PassiveWallJump, Pass, CliffJump1, CliffJump2, CliffJump1Jr
Repeats while the input is held or mashed. Frames shown are one cycle, so there is no fixed FAF.Rapid Jab
Held: the animation loops, so this ends on release or on a state change rather than on a fixed frame.Neutral Special (Charge), Neutral Special (Air, Charge), Side Special, Side Special (Air), Up Special (JrFall), Up Special (JrDamage), CatchWait, DamageFall, DownWaitU, DownWaitD, CliffWait, CliffWaitJr
Land cancels: touching the ground during this move ends it in Side Special (Landing), which recovers in 34 frames and is the only way out of it. That is the landing animation's own length, since its motion sets no cancel frame, so the true recovery may be shorter.Side Special (Air)
Land cancels: touching the ground during this move ends it in Side Special (Landing), which recovers in 34 frames rather than the 58 this move would otherwise run. That is the landing animation's own length, since its motion sets no cancel frame, so the true recovery may be shorter.Side Special (Air, Spin)

That is the landing animation's own length, since its motion sets no cancel frame, so the true recovery may be shorter.Side Special (Air, WallClash)
Landing lag is 26 frames, from `param_special_hi.landing_frame`. This special has no landing animation of its own — it hands the figure to the landing directly — so nothing in the script or the motion list shows it.Up Special (Air, Start)
