Lucas' stick of reflection

[eSilverh]

Alright, I looked around a lot and I don't see one person who talks about using Lucas' stick to reflect projectiles.

I use it all the time. It seems to be almost as quick as Mario's cape. Against Toon Link and Wolf, I know for sure, that if I reflect the first projectile and I know they will shoot again I will have time to get the bat off again, even right next to the player.

I wish I had footage of this, but I did it to my roommate standing right in front of him. (Yea, he could have done a different attack, but was being stubborn. "I will hit you!" )

I use it against Mario and other characters that spam and then run at you. It not only reflects it back into them, but sometimes they get the bat and the fireball in their face.

I'm also pretty sure that it cancels Zelda's fire orb, though who would want to get rid of all that extra healing?

Any thoughts?

Also, in case you didn't know, during ANY frame of the fsmash animation it will reflect. (Well, maybe besides a couple at the beginning and end. I just mean that if the stick is out, it will reflect)

can you reflect snake's granades or the will explote in contact to the stick?

 

[TechnoMonster]

They'll explode :/ but you can reflect his mortar if for some reason you find yourself on a platform nearby, and you can reflect his guided missile.

Don't forget to absorb some tasty ones. Stick is really good against Toon Link too, and don't try to reflect everything (dodge some to give em hope)

Against TL I just got the the point I just press A. They spam all day and i just cancel it all till they decide to come out and actually fight. TL is by far my most annoying and almost ******** matchup.

I hit a grenade back today. But I know it explodes a lot too. I guess it just depends on power/where on the bat you hit it.

Going to test more right now

Well anyway, there's a much easier way to reflect a grenade- Pick it up and throw it back! Unless they let it cook a little before they throw it that is

In Lucas vs Lucas matches, the stick is key. Use it often, because even if you miss, you might get lucky and deflect a PK Fire.

Lucas's bat can reflect peach's toad spores caused by the bat's damage. It's hilarious.

Hey, can you reflect tangible projectiles?
You know, like wadde dees, waddle doo, and pikmin?

I try it sometimes, but I always kill them.

 

[Aevin]

You can reflect Pikmin, as long as they withstand the hit and don't die. Even better, the ones that do over time damage stick to Olimar and damage him! Try to time the C-stick or don't charge the smash at all so you don't kill them, though I think some Pikmin are more resistant to physical attacks than others. Waddle dees I don't think you can reflect for damage. They'll just fly away as if it by any other attack.

Also, I don't think it's widely known, but you can reflect Zero Suit Samus's forward special. The plasma whip.

Really!? So I guess it counts as a projectile huh?

I think you can also catch projectiles by air dodging in the air sometimes. So you could also try that.
