About the stun...

[kuenzel]

I was playing a team match with a friend of mine- he was Snake. (Team Attack was off)

I can hardly remember what happened, but when I stunned my opponent with my d-smash, and Snake musthave done something because Rob stayed stuned for a good 1-2 seconds longer than normal, and was comletely invincible. This happened a few other times in other matches.

I remember seeing the same thing in Pikachus "Matrix Thunder", where anything that pushed pikachu up in thunder shock had the same frozen/invincibilty effect.

Does anyone know anything about the specifics of this stun glitching- like the conditions for it to happen and stuff?

Exact mechanics-wise, I'm not sure. For example, if you d-smash Dedede at the beginning of his up-special, he is in a glitchy half-stun animation for the entirety of the move until he hits the ground. This happens during other moves with invincibility frames as well.

So, perhaps when the stun interferes with absolutes like invincibility frames and other movement altering things do we get glitches like that.

In your example, does DDD's up-b get affected in any way other than the animation?

I've had this happen during Yoshi's super armour in his second jump. It must have something to do with being unflinchable (which is now a word).

super armor screws things up with the dsmash and stun gun
