Breaking Reflectors

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Recently revealed in Brawl, attacks that can reflect projectiles, such as Mario's Cape or Zelda's Nayru's Love, can now send back projectile attacks with increased power. If such an attack is reflected multiple times between two characters, the attack itself will get stronger and stronger until it eventually becomes too strong to reflect, and it will shatter a character's reflective shield. This means that techniques that once encouraged prolonged reflection time are now dangerous to perform for long periods of time. This move is classified as a Quick Technique. ^[1]

Also note that in Melee, this same instance can be accomplished. Though definitely not seen as often, a Red Shell reflected by Fox or Falco can break their Reflectors, and wind up doing between 70-80% damage. In fact, even Mario's Cape and Mewtwo's Confusion can be "broken", regardless of Fox or Falco being there.
