Flying Raptor Boost?

[moofpi]

Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation to why this happened? I always suspected Wind Up Raptor Boost would have momentum shenanigans but still. Even Duck Hunt found it hilarious.

Haha this is pretty funny. Something like this happen to me a couple mouths ago in my combo video and you can do a wavedash with it too. You can do more with the wavedashing which can be found on this thread.

Wind Up Raptor Boost (like it's name) winds back first before moving forward. There's a lot of moves that can break and/or reverse the momentum you currently have from knockback too.

That being said, what I'm seeing here is that instead of the Wind Up Raptor Boost pulling backwards (away from the direction you're facing), it started winding up in the direction that Falcon was headed before launching him in the same direction-- indicated by the slow glide that happened before the momentum shifted. I'm sure it was a momentum break shenanigan, but that's some really interesting stuff. It's possible that you B-Reversed it somehow while momentum breaking. I'll have to see if I can replicate it sometime.

I just noticed it says FLY AWAY in the background right before it happens and then DH laughing afterward.
Duck Hunt stage knows the future :O

This was previously asked in another post. http://smashboards.com/threads/boost-glitch-with-falcons-wind-up-raptor-boost.394159/
As I stated in that post, it's most likely using the move after getting hit, without doing anything else.
