The "Reflector Device"
Reflector is Fox's, Falco's and Wolf's down special move. When used, the user creates a blue, hexagonal shield which deflects any projectile from any angle, with the exception of Final Smashes. It can also be used to damage enemies in close proximity to the user when activated. If this shield deflects too many projectiles in one use, it will shatter, like a normal shield, and leave the user stunned. In Brawl, it was revealed that the shield originates from a small device the user carries. How it is used and its effects depends on the user.
Character Differences

Fox
When used by Fox, the reflector is created around him. He can keep the Reflector activated for extended periods of time. His Reflector can also be used for Shine spikes, a deadly edgeguarding technique. Fox's Reflector can be used to "hover" if used in quick succesion while in the air, effectively reducing his falling speed.

The Reflector, when used by Falco in Super Smash Bros- Brawl.
Falco
When used by Falco in Melee, he acts like Fox's but with vertical knockback. In Brawl he kicks the device away from him as it is activated. Falco's Reflector also has lower offensive power than Fox's. It has the shortest amount of time (in battle) out of the three, but the longest range. If the Reflector returns to Falco, it can also reflect any projectiles shot from behind him at the last second.

The Reflector, when used by Wolf.
Wolf
When used by Wolf, he creates a shield similar to Fox's, but he creates a pink, elliptical shield, instead of a blue, hexagonal one. It does less damage on contact, but it adds invincibility frames. Also, unlike Falco's, it can be held for a long peroid of time, possibly long enough to hold protection long enough for him negate some Final Smashes and attacks that normally outprioritize the Reflector (for instance, approaching a Zelda with a Reflector negates any of her high priority Smash attacks). The hit also makes the enemy open for other attacks Wolf has in his arsenal. According to the DOJO!!, when Wolf activates his Reflector, he dodges any attack for a split second (both projectiles and physical attacks), then retaliates by stunning his opponent with the Reflector (in a manner similar to Fox's).
