Farore's Wind Projectile Priority
Hi. Um, I was picking up Zelda, so I decided to do some research on something. I researched Farore Wind's first hitbox's priority against all the projectiles. Should I post the chart with the info here?
EDIT:
I got the OK from Kataefi, so here's a chart. I'll try to scrounge up a good chart program, because Works Spreadsheet isn't letting me delete columns and rows. >__> Anyways, here it is:
____
Key:
"C"=Cancel: Farore's Wind's first hit(FW) cancelled the projectile
"C1"=Cancel One: FW cancelled the first hit in a multi-hit attack, e.g. FLUDD
"P"=Poke: The projectile passed through FW and dealt damage to Zelda. Not necessarily knockback
"D"=Deflect: FW deflect the projectile. Not cancelled, simply altered its path
"K"=Kill: Only applies to Pikmin. FW killed the fresh Pikmin on contact the first time
*(#)=This indicates a note. Refer to the bottom of the post for notes
For this, I used my definition of a projectile: A box, be it hurt or hit, that is completely independent of the charater who spawned it. That is, the box can be hit without any effect on the character who spawned it, and it is not forced to come into contact with the character again. Because of this, tether attacks are not projectiles, as they are forced to return to the character, Falco's Reflector is not a projectile, as it is forced to return to him, etc. But, Pikmin and Boomerangs are projectiles as Pikmin can be evaded by Olimar and so can the Boomerangs by their respective owners. Also, "gravity" cannot be the only force acting on the box to make it move. That is, its only means of movement cannot simply be falling. Because of this, Samus' Bomb isn't a projectile.

Notes:
*1: Farore's Wind deflected both Link and Toon Link's arrows at all levels of charge
*2: Both bombs were tossed, not smash tossed
*3: Samus' full Charge Shot made a cancel visual effect, but still damaged Zelda. This could indicate that it has two almost fused hits
*4: Farore's Wind cancelled both the aerial and the grounded versions of Thunderjolt
*5: Farore's Wind cancelled all of Skillet's food items
*6: The Bucket was filled with three Din's Fires
*7: Farore's Wind cancelled the Peanuts at all levels of charge
*8: Because even a slightly charged Needle looses more than one needle, testing a Needle Storm would yield the same results
*9: The amount of time Din's Fire was held did not affect the results
*10: The Grenade was tossed with a medium toss
*11: Because of the amount of visual effects created by Blizard, I could not see whether Farore's Wind cancelled one or was simply poked
*12: All Aura Spheres were launched by a Lucario at 0%
*13: Both PK Cross and PK Freeze were charged fully before being released
*14: Because of the amount of visual effects created by Ness' PK Fire, I could not see whether Farore's Wind cancelled one or was simply poked
*15: All Pikmin were fresh
