Projectiles & Articles

1 article

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.

Notes

◆HDR replaces the vanilla animation, which changes when the move ends.

‡Animation speed changes mid-move. Frames shown are real game frames, not animation frames.

¶Some hits only apply under a condition the generator cannot evaluate. Hover a damage value to see the condition on that hit.

Up Special, Up Special (Air)

↧HDR's optional gentleman jab. Land jab 1, then hold attack for this sequence, or tap repeatedly for the rapid jab.

Jab 2 (Gentleman)

※Some values are computed at runtime and cannot be read from the script.

Computed at runtime, not shown: damage.Down Special (Shoot), Down Special (Air, Shoot)

✕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.

Food is on the field for up to 70 frames (param_food.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Food: Sausage, Food: Steak, Food: FriedPrawns, Food: Fish

⊗A counter. What it deals is a multiple of the attack it countered, so the figure in the damage column is only the floor — the multiplier and the ceiling come from the fighter’s parameters.

The bucket deals 2x the energy it absorbed (param_special_lw.attack_mul), never less than 16%.Down Special (Shoot), Down Special (Air, Shoot)

⊘This move spawned a projectile in vanilla that HDR no longer creates.

Spawned Bomb in vanilla; HDR does not.Forward Air

↛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 normal_weapon — the engine's name for it, and there is no table for it here.Jab 1, Forward Tilt, Down Tilt, Neutral Air, Forward Air, Back Air

•Other notes.

Repeats while the input is held or mashed; one cycle is 13 frames. Frames shown are one cycle, so there is no fixed FAF.Rapid Jab
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.AttackS4Charge, AttackHi4Charge, AttackHi4ChargeR, AttackLw4Charge, Up Special (Close), Down Special (Start), Down Special (Catch), Down Special (Reflect), Down Special (Air, Start), Down Special (Air, Catch), DownDamageU, DownDamageU3, DownDamageD, DownDamageD3, PassiveWall, PassiveWallJump, Pass, CliffJump1, CliffJump2
Land cancels: touching the ground during this move ends it with 6 frames of landing lag rather than the usual special-fall landing.Neutral Special (Air)
Landing outside the auto cancel window costs 11 frames: HDR's status sets it on the way to a landing while the flag is up, and lands normally while it is down.Up Special (Open)
Landing lag is 42 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)
Held: the animation loops, so this ends on release or on a state change rather than on a fixed frame.Down Special, Down Special (Air), CatchWait, DamageFall, DownWaitU, DownWaitD, CliffWait
Timing from fighter_param_motion (escape_n_cancel_frame), not the animation.Spot Dodge

Intangible on frames 4-26.Air Dodge, Air Dodge (Directional)
Landing lag is 10 frames, from common's `landing_frame_escape_air` — the param HDR's air dodge status hands the landing when the dodge ends on the ground.Air Dodge
Timing from fighter_param_motion (escape_air_slide_cancel_frame), not the animation.Air Dodge (Directional)
Landing lag is 10 frames, from param_motion's `landing_frame_escape_air_slide_max` — the param HDR's air dodge status hands the landing when the dodge ends on the ground.Air Dodge (Directional)
Held: the animation is a hold placeholder, so this ends on release or on a state change rather than on a fixed frame.Shield
