A '''projectile''' is an object or other attack that moves independently of the character that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item]]s. Most projectiles can be reflected, while others can also be absorbed.

'''Projectile '''is an attack or other object that operates independently of the [[character]] that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the [[Charge Shot]], [[Blaster]] shots, and thrown [[item|items]]. Most projectiles can be [[reflect|reflected]], while others can also be [[absorb|absorbed]].
   
−
A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile, as they can be very useful in both approaching and camping out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take [[hitlag]] while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

  +
As projectiles are (in general) considered indirect [[attacks]], the vast majority of enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] resist them outside of any weak points they may have - in fact, only [[Porky]], [[Meta Ridley]], and [[Tabuu]] do not. Projectiles are also generally [[special move]]s executed with the [[B]] button, but since ''[[Brawl]]'', some characters such as {{SSBB|Snake}}, the {{SSBWU/3DS|Villager}}, and {{SSBWU/3DS|Mega Man}} have [[Neutral attack|standard attacks]] that are projectiles.
−
Most projectiles can be easily identified by attacking a [[Metal Box]]: if the character becomes metal, then the move is not a projectile.

Fireball

Mario's fireball is an example of a projectile

Projectile is an attack or other object that operates independently of the character that used it. Common examples of projectiles include the Charge Shot, Blaster shots, and thrown items. Most projectiles can be reflected, while others can also be absorbed.

A majority of characters have at least one projectile attack, while some have two or even three. It is considered a disadvantage to lack a projectile, as they can be very useful in both approaching and camping out opponents' approaches. Projectiles also cause the target to take hitlag while the user does not, which allows a few free frames of action.

As projectiles are (in general) considered indirect attacks, the vast majority of enemies in the Subspace Emissary resist them outside of any weak points they may have - in fact, only Porky, Meta Ridley, and Tabuu do not. Projectiles are also generally special moves executed with the B button, but since Brawl, some characters such as Snake, the Villager, and Mega Man have standard attacks that are projectiles.


Projectiles Used by Fighters

This table includes all non-Final Smash projectiles for every character, as well as some important properties of each. Note that, while a projectile may not be absorbable, that does not exclude the ability to be Pocketed.

A projectile that can neither be reflected nor absorbed can be considered a disjointed Hitbox.

Character Projectiles Reflectable Absorbable Chargeable Unique/Special Properties
Bayonetta Bullet Climax YesY NoN YesY Can be charged, fires at a slightly upwards angle.
Bowser Fire Breath YesY YesY NoN Size and length decreases as Bowser continues to breathe, releasing the move slowly recharges it.

If reflected and it hits Kirby, he will keep his copy ability, but the swallow animation will stop a few frames earlier.
