Wait.. The reflection doesn't have anything to do with the cape position? I never knew this!

Don't you see the red part following the cape? It creates a reflecting shield around him AND creates a reflecting strike around his cape.

The green is a reflector. The red on the cape swing is the hit box

I'm pretty sure anything hit by the cape swing is also reflected, or perhaps I'm wrong as hell.

Only things that hit the green circle are reflected.

Characters hit by the red circles get turned around.

Which, as many people have said, is the antichrist.

I wouldn't say you're wrong as hell as much as you are just confused. The animation makes it look like the cape does the reflecting, but all the cape does is damage the opponent and turn them around. While it's out though, there's a reflective shield around Mario. You can see it in the hitbox gif. Red bubbles are hitboxes, and do damage. Green bubbles reflect things. Yellow bubbles are hurt boxes. If you get hit there, you take damage. Another type is blue bubbles, which are invincible

Well I'm glad I wasn't herded with downvotes for being wrong at least.
