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.

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

Nair Landing

∅A hitbox is out on these frames but cannot collide with a fighter, so they are not counted as active. HDR instantiates one early to widen the arc the next hit sweeps, and disarms one between the hits of a multi-hit.

Inert hitboxes on frames 9-13: out, but unable to collide with a fighter, so not counted as active frames.Up Tilt

✕HDR removes this move’s hitboxes.

Up Special (LandingF), 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.

Bomb is on the field for up to 180 frames (param_bomb.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Bomb: Fall
Cshot is on the field for up to 180 frames (param_cshot.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Cshot: Shoot

↛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 gun — the engine's name for it, and there is no table for it here.Forward Air, Up Air

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

Damage comes from Cshot — see Projectiles & Articles below.Neutral Special (Start), Neutral Special (Fire), Neutral Special (FireMax), Neutral Special (Air, Start), Neutral Special (Air, Fire), Neutral Special (Air, FireMax)
