When i tested it out the other day, i hit both characters in front of me with a single shine. If this is the case (and i wasn't tripping out) that obviously makes the hitbox in front of falco bigger, but does it also give his shine more hit frames than the normal (fox's shine)?

I believe it hits when it's moving forward, so yeah more hit frames.

Refer to my "all things shiny thread" if I do eventually find info.

Fox's reflector only has. ONE hit frame? It's either you get hit when your next to him, or not a all.

To explain that why sometimes it hits, sometimes hits more than one person at the same time, and sometimes does hit at all:
Either the shine has:
1.Multiple hit frames (the shine flashing bigger, and then smaller?)
OR
2. The hitbox is at the very centre of the shine so it misses people slightly above and below.
