This game does have creativity. Smash never had it where you can grab projectiles and even reflect them with regular moves. Which sucks since projectile spam is the meta.

Not really.

In Melee any character can reflect any projectile w/ a perfect shield. Falco lasers are good, but he has a bunch of other stuff that make him top tier. Zain, the best player in the world, uses Marth, who has no projectile. Hungrybox dominated the game for a couple years with Jigglypuff, who also has no projectile.

In Ultimate, projectiles are more powerful because you can't reflect them w/ a parry, but a lot of characters do have reflectors now, not just Fox/Falco. Some characters would be instant bottom tier if anyone could reflect projectiles w/ a parry though. There are some characters that are built on projectiles for sure (Pac Man, the Links, Belmonts, Olimar, Duck Hunt) but those characters hardly dominate the meta. #1 MKLeo just won a major with solo Byleth, who has a terrible projectile that Leo pretty much never uses. Tweek is #2 who uses Diddy Kong mostly, who has Banana, which is a projectile just like the Nickelodeon game, anyone can catch it when it is thrown.
