Bedridden.
Hello Everyone. I apologize if this has been written about before, but it's something I discovered today. I was messing around today trying out Lucas since I don't know how to play at all. I was playing a computer wolf just trying out zap jumps and stuff. I accidentally c-sticked a downsmash. The wolf shot his laser at me, and when it collided with the second hit of the downsmash, it reflected it. Sorry, I don't have a vid. Maybe somebody can test it out.

In the hair.
is it only the second hit, because then fsmash would always be better

and you can reflect some pretty strange things with fsmash too, such as snakes up smash

Well, absorbing Samus's charge shot is just as good :p Anyway, I'd rather use the bat to reflect things. I'll try and confirm this later.

I just tried this in Vs. and training mode. Both times with my brother as Wolf. Each time we tried colliding the laser shot with each of Lucas' sparks and all the shots hit Lucas. I thought our timing might have been off, so I repeated the same with in training mode with all the different slo-mo speeds, again, all of Wolf's shots hit, including the ones that hit right on target with the sparks.

I'm thinking this may just be me, so don't take my word for it. :C

The only thing I've been able to reflect with Lucas' down smash is the Ice Climber's Ice Shot.

Yeah, but the icicles don't damage IC's or have any knockback when they're reflected back; they just disappear on contact.

I can confirm this. In fact, this was pretty useful against the ICs.

Also making a note that fair can reflect icicles as well. Never knew that. Don't know how it works with other projectiles but maybe someone with more spare time can test. >_<
