Projectiles & Articles

4 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 (78 -> 69 frames).Dash Attack
HDR replaces the animation (48 -> 53 frames).Up Tilt
HDR replaces the animation (67 -> 70 frames).Down Air

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

Dash Attack, Forward Tilt, Forward Tilt (Up), Forward Tilt (Down), Forward Smash, Up Smash, Down Smash, Down Air, Up Special (Start), Up Special (Air, Start), Down Special (Failure), Down Special (Air, Failure), Up Throw, Down Throw

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

Side Special (Dash)

∅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 1-14: out, but unable to collide with a fighter, so not counted as active frames.Side Special (Move)

✕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.

Bigpacman is on the field for up to 260 frames (param_bigpacman.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Bigpacman: Eat
Firehydrantwater is on the field for up to 34 frames (param_firehydrantwater.life), which is what ends the hit -- its script never does. Hitting something usually ends it sooner.Firehydrantwater: Shoot, Firehydrantwater: ShootUp

↛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.

Damage comes from esa — the engine's name for it, and there is no table for it here.Side Special (Start), Side Special (Air, Start)

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

Damage comes from Trampoline — see Projectiles & Articles below.Up Special (Start), Up Special (Air, Start)
Damage comes from Firehydrant — see Projectiles & Articles below.Down Special, Down Special (Air)

•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.AttackS4Charge, AttackHi4Charge, AttackLw4Charge, Neutral Special, Neutral Special (Air), Side Special (Start), Side Special (Change), Side Special (Air, Start), Up Special (Start), Up Special (End), Up Special (Air, Start), Up Special (Air, End), Up Special (Air, Break), DownDamageU, DownDamageU3, DownDamageD, DownDamageD3, PassiveWall, PassiveWallJump, Pass, CliffJump1, CliffJump2
Held: the animation loops, so this ends on release or on a state change rather than on a fixed frame.Neutral Special (Hold), Neutral Special (Air, Hold), Side Special (Loop), Side Special (Air, Loop), Up Special (Air, Loop), CatchWait, DamageFall, DownWaitU, DownWaitD, CliffWait
Land cancels: touching the ground during this move ends it with 10 frames of landing lag rather than the usual special-fall landing. Landing is not the only requirement: the cancel is behind a condition that cannot be read out of the code, so it will not always apply.Side Special (Dash)
Landing lag is 33 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), Up Special (Air, Loop), Up Special (Air, End), Up Special (Air, Break)
Timing from fighter_param_motion (escape_n_cancel_frame), not the animation.Spot Dodge
Intangible on frames 3-15.Spot Dodge
Timing from fighter_param_motion (escape_f_cancel_frame), not the animation.Forward Roll
Intangible on frames 4-13.Forward Roll, Back Roll
Timing from fighter_param_motion (escape_b_cancel_frame), not the animation.Back Roll
FAF is HDR's runtime calculation rather than a param: the air dodge stalls for 28 frames and ends once the fighter has fallen 35 units, so it follows their gravity and fall speed.Air Dodge, Air Dodge (Directional)
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
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
