Projectiles & Articles

2 articles

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.

HDR replaces the animation (60 -> 66 frames).Dash Attack
HDR replaces the animation (40 -> 28 frames).Down Tilt

HDR replaces the animation (66 -> 55 frames).Forward Smash
HDR replaces the animation (88 -> 73 frames).Up Smash

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

☆Added by HDR, reusing an animation chosen at runtime, so FAF cannot be derived.

AttackAirLw2Attack

✕HDR removes this move’s hitboxes.

CliffEscape, AirCatchLanding

⇥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.

Boomerang is on the field for up to 127 frames (param_boomerang.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Boomerang: Fly, Boomerang: Turn
Bowarrow is on the field for up to 42 frames (param_bowarrow.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Bowarrow: Fly

⊕Damage is not in the script: the hitbox is created with a placeholder — a 0, or a figure that is never used — and the engine sets its power from the fighter’s parameters. What is shown is what those parameters hold, so it follows HDR’s tuning.

The arrow deals 5–12%. The figure in its script is not used: the engine sets the power from its params (param_bowarrow.power_min, param_bowarrow.power_max). Charging the bow is what raises it.Bowarrow: Fly

↛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 hookshot, hookshothand — the engine's name for it, and there is no table for it here.Grab, Dash Grab, Pivot Grab, Air Grab (Tether)

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

Damage comes from bow, Bowarrow — see Projectiles & Articles below.Neutral Special (Start), Neutral Special (Air, Start)
Damage comes from Boomerang — see Projectiles & Articles below.Side Special (1), Side Special (Air, 1)

•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), Up Special (Start), DownDamageU, DownDamageU3, DownDamageD, DownDamageD3, PassiveWall, PassiveWallJump, Pass, CliffJump1, CliffJump2, AirCatchPose, AirCatchHit, AirCatchHang
Repeats while the input is held or mashed; one cycle is 16 frames. 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, Neutral Special (Air), Up Special (Hold), CatchWait, DamageFall, DownWaitU, DownWaitD, CliffWait, AirCatchHitLoop
