Question about knock back in Smash 3DS/WiiU

[Lukethejk]

Hi everyone! I'm brand new here, and this question has been bugging me for a few days now. If a character gets hit, do they receive knock back at the percent dealt to them, or the percent they were at before?

Here's an example: I hit a character who is at 0% with a move that does 10%. Would they get knocked back as if I hit them at 10%, or as if I hit them at 0%?

I hope this makes sense. And thanks for answering my completely meaningless question in advance!

The knockback is based on how much percentage the opponent has after getting hit. An easier way to understand this is with the jab move. Specifically rapid jabs. Characters with a rapid jab deal 1% damage with each move that hits the opponent, and all together the damage adds up to around 15%-20%, and that damage is added to the damage the opponent already has, then multiplied by a certain constant which determines the knockback speed, for in this case a jab which has a relatively small constant, and the time the opponent is in hitstun while in knockback.
