Title of the bug: Egg poking? Man, I dunno. The title is what it is.
Version found in: First noticed in 3.02, probably existed prior, persisted through 3.5 and most likely 3.6 although I am yet to test
Hardware you are running: Wii, SD card. However, this bug has happened on numerous setups with many different kinds of loading methods, including on Dolphin using netplay and local play.
Loading Method: My own setup is letterbomb, but as stated above, has occurred on all types of setups.
Details: Strangely enough, when Yoshi's shield is hit from awkward angles from below (approximately 45°, but this is just based upon visual observation), it will go through his shield and hit him. As we all know, his shield is intended to be unshieldpokable. This creates the unfortunate situations in which it is not. It's difficult to recreate, but it does happen and does affect the game. I've lost stocks to this unfortunate bug. It most commonly and easily occurs when Yoshi is on a platform and the opponent attacks from below, as this is the most common setup from which an opponent can access that angle. However, some moves which hit at unusual locations close to the ground have poked through it before as well when both Yoshi and the opponent are level on the main stage.
Attachments: http://gfycat.com/FabulousWickedFly In this gif, after I miss the down-b, I'm holding shield the whole time, even through when I get hit. As you can see, Kirby's bair from a weird lower angle breaks through the shield and hits me, even though I did nothing except shield.
Custom Content: My own setup has some, but as previously mentioned it has occurred on many different setups, with and without customized content.
Thanks for your time, consideration, and whatever else you're giving up to read the tears of a sad dinosaur who's unsafe in his own egg. Have a good one. o/
