The Cape

[Brownpack]

maybe i may have seen it wrong, but during a match, i remember that I caped a pikachu when he did thunder, and he got shocked. Did I see it correctly, or is there some other explanation?

Yes, it's a reflectable.

Even though Thunder can't actually get "reflected", it can be reflected and be made so that it's YOUR thunder now(so it damages pickachu or any other than you).

Same with Din's fire's explosion(can be "reflected" to damage Zelda, if she's close to her own projectile's detonation when you reflect it).

Yes, this info should be widely known by now. Pikas are popping up everywhere because of how easy it is to get KOs with this move alone. Anyone with any kind of reflector should train themselves to return the lightning consistently.

i remember this, cause i was playing a pikachu, and he tried to ledgeguard me by using thunder, and i caped him as a last resort, and then, he died. I had been confused, but didn't care as i had won.

But I'm still wondering, can you cape the actual "thunder" itself, or can you only cape pikachu?

Yes, you can cape the actual thunder itself if you are above pikachu. I believe that if you cape only pikachu, you will still get hit, but I may be wrong.

[Flameleon]

You have to cape the thunder to make it yours...

[Fatmanonice]

Yep, this can also be used against PK Freeze. I haven't tried it against PK Flash yet because I'm afraid to try. :laugh:

[A2ZOMG]

Oh yeah, and if you're going against Peach, make sure to ALWAYS Cape her Toad. It will punish her good. The Peach forums discovered this a while ago for Ness's F-smash in fact.

[Flameleon]

There are a lot of interesting things than you can cape, one of them are: "the Gordos" ; )...

The same goes for Lucas's Fsmash too.

[Dekar173]

caping Ness' pk flash is an instant kill (59 damage I believe, although I may have hit him at the same time, BUT I do know it's instakill so who cares? ;p)

interresting didn't kno u can cape gordos

[Brownpack]

the cape is usually better than all counter moves right? if you caped marth's counter, his counter attack would be reversed, peach's toad would be reversed, but what about lucario's?

also, if two marios caped each other at the EXACT same time, how does it decide who would spin around?

when u cape lucario he still attacks u i think. normally when i cape a mario when they cape me at the same time our momentum changes and we ge thrusted diagonaly upward the opsite way.

Yes, well, the only problem with caping pika's thunder is that once he gets sent flying up, there's a chance he could fly into you and kill you so IMO it's best to airdodge after caping thunder.

Does anyone know if you can cape the lasers that the Great Fox shoots on Corneria? Because that would be epic...

No but I know you can reflect the Arwing shots.

that WOULD be epic for sure, as it will most likely be a 1 hit kill. but as I remember, the ship fires more than once rapidly, so you'd ultimately lose your life as well. maybe you can use fox's reflector? or better yet, if you're playing as ness, maybe it could be used as a way to instantly get rid of all damage?

Another thing, I've noticed that when playing against another mario, and when they try to ledgeguard by using FLUDD, and I caped the water, i noticed that I always went upward, helping me out a bit. does this always happen, or is it just because i may be slightly higher than the mario that's on the stage?
