Versatile Projectile Reflector

[Nep Heart]

 This is something I've done while revising projectile reflectors in all my characters ever since Haruhi's release since I wasn't satisfied with what they worked previously. I'm frankly proud of this even if it's not perfect and is definitely a step above the generic variety. So, I feel like sharing it with people... credit would be nice for recognition for those who wish to use it.

 In statedef -2, you will be required to have an invisible projectile with no CLSNs summoned whenever the reflector is out so that the reflected helper projectile doesn't become unblockable as a result of the reflected projectile still technically being owned by the opponent, which would make it unblockable without this measure.

 

Note: The main flaw for this reflector is that the reflected projectile will become invisible if the helper projectile in question uses an explod as an FX instead of its own animation, but that's not too common otherwise.

Looks like useful for me.
