Boost Glitch With Falcons Wind-Up Raptor Boost

[7upjawa]

I was playing smash 4 today as a break from melee, and was grinding customs. I eventually made a cool falcon moveset (1223) and when i was just testing the custom moves on lower leveled AI I found this weird glitch. While slightly offstage and a bit above a peach I went to use falcons raptor boost custom, and went flying to the other side of the stage. I saved a replay, and recorded it on my phone (sorry for poor quality).

​

If someone else has discovered this already I apologize. Can this be recreated, and does anyone think it will be useful? I can imagine using it to go for long range dunks if it is easily doable by yourself. Anyways, if this helps make falcon more badass your welcome, but if not "My B". :^)

(video still uploading as I post, so wait like 15 minutes if this was just posted.)

The video is presumably unavailable for me.
Sounds interesting enough though, but it will probably be patched if it becomes more well known.

 

[7upjawa]

Its still upload right now
anyways, Sakurai said he's not patching I thought.

It may be something to do with your momentum out of peaches D-throw, I'd test for that to recreate it.

Fixed the video so It doesn't restart in the middle

I didn't see you say that the video was uploading at the bottom of your initial post... I apologize.

I was actually testing this earlier as I found it out while messing with his customs, it seems to do that long lunge if you use it after you get hit without doing anything else.

Hit how? any decent KB move? if so it would be a saving grace from bair attacks.

I think it's any attack, honestly. But that's just a theory, a GAME THEORY!

Thanks for the positive support on this thread guys.
If it is based on hit, this could be coordinated for some hilarious dunks in doubles matches.
I wish there was something wierd you could do to just do this momentum glitch, to make Falcon more mobile.
BTW sorry i'm horrible at sm4sh.

Yeah, I bet this could be used for some amazing dunks but it's a very low chance that it'll happen. When I found out the glitch I tried to do some stuff to make it happen (except getting hit) but no luck, which sucks. Also, that's what practicing is for. To get better.

Me too

Sick! This is definitely windbox related, judging from your video, which showed it off a little better.
Juding by the fact its windbox related, Using G&W and captain falcon in teams could lead to our fabulous dunking setups. Use his down tilt windbox for a stage height dunk, or his up air hitbox for a a high recovery dunk, or a low offstage dunk (G&W works well for low recoveries, but save your jump!)

I just had this happen to me today as well. I will try to get a video of it on here. I am glad to see that it can be reproduced.

You can get it consistently everytime after waiting about a second after hitstun (don't mash it though).
It's super fun and has really good mixup recovery potential.

you just sound like a top tier douchebag. thats all.

He literally just said that this topic has been explored quite widely already, so this thread is unnecessary.
You're just assuming things.

 

[redcometchar]

Regardless, I will leave links to the other threads here. It will be good to have it all in one place anyway.
