AAA exploit? Or is this old news?

Hi, folks. I'm a bit of a newbie here, so I apologize if this is common knowledge.

I was watching this (FANTASTIC) Snake vs Snake video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivLP97PkcIM and I noticed a ver yodd thing where the player would seem almost glitch out, rapidly firing the first punch of the AAA combo. It occurs at 0:29, 1:08, 1:52, and 2:22.

What exactly is this? Is it a known Snake technique?

It's old and can be done by a whole bunch of characters. So far, my conclusion is that holding A will rapidly make all characters with fast As with very little lag and startup frames for the 2nd A in their jab to rapidly do their 1st jab.

Doable with, among others, Pikachu.

Yea it's a new game mechanic. If you have a # combo and not an infinite one like Falco you can keep the first punch going. Why you would I dunno.

Not true. Captain Falcon has an infinite jab if you hit AAAA, but he can do it. Peach doesn't, and she can't.

The only correalation I've found is the speed of the jabs.

Yup not everyone can do it and the speeds differ, for some odd reason snake has a really fast Jab

Falco will spin indefinitely if you tap A twice then hold it down.

Yeah, if you hold in A, you will do the rapid jab, and if it connects, he will continue with the follow up jab and then the kick.
