Personally, gotta go with Cloud's limit break projectile mainly b/c Cloud is one of the characters I most struggle against and they always seem to forget I can reflect it. Super satisfying to bait them into it.

Oh my the phantom counts as a projectile?? I had no clue I could reflect that. Now I'm basically gonna go out of my way to reflect one next time I face a Zelda, even if it costs me a stock.Mewtwo's Shadow Ball. I was in a match just the other day where we were both final stock, I encouraged him to use it, and then I used Palutena's reflector. He thought he was sly by using Confusion on it, but he did it too close to me and my reflector glass was still up. Part of the Shadow Ball got through and smashed my shield, but it also bounced back and he killed himself.
Pretty dramatic end to it all. He said "Lucky!" after the match and immediately left after that.
Zelda's Phantom is a pretty close 2nd though in general. So many of them attempt to edgeguard with it and don't expect it to come hurling back to them.
Last I checked, all reflectors only influence a projectile's horizontal direction; they don't actually modify vertical motion. If you reflect Pikachu or Pichu's Thunder, it still comes down on top of them — the only thing that changes is that the lightning bolt is now your projectile, so Pikachu/Pichu gets zapped. Then again, I've had PK Thunder bounce off reflectors at all sorts of angles.Clearly none of you have reflected a charged Snake USmash. So good.
Yeah, it's been a projectile since its inception in Smash4. Careful reflecting it in Ultimate though, because if Zelda fully charges it so she can move before it attacks, she has time to put up her own reflector and reflect the reflected Phantom back at you...Oh my the phantom counts as a projectile??

I think it's case by case. Villager's Bowling Ball for example gets a small vertical boost before falling back down. With Snake USmash though, if they try and hit you with it while you're in the air, it just gets sent straight back down. It's suuuuper satisfying. Alternatively, if you reflect it just as it comes out, it goes through the whole arc, and might come back down on top of them if they go in for a grab/attack. I've gotten stocks both ways. It's just super funny to watch their mindgames fall apart and do them in.Last I checked, all reflectors only influence a projectile's horizontal direction; they don't actually modify vertical motion.
