Brawl's Spin Dash glitch?

It starts at 1:52 and ends around 1:55, this is a video of a recent tournament featuring a Sonic player spin dashing horizontally into the air off of the moving platform in Smashville.

I'm sorry if this is known or if it really isn't what I think it is, because after replaying the video several times, it just seems to be a "perfect" accident in terms of the game's gravity and mechanics, since Sonic is not travelling in a true horizontal path, but it hovers ever so slightly downward, but to the naked eye it appears perfectly horizontal.

But maybe we can test this, recreate it at will, and get it to work in our favor?

You're gonna need an actual link if you want anybody else to even consider what's going on. :/

Same thing we had in Brawl: SDR -> rolls off platform -> hit slows down SDR and platform catches up -> SDR on platform again -> SDR off platform -> hit...

As situational as it is damaging.

I came to this thread to post my assumption of it being what Orochi just said.

Glad that's still in.

They really ironed out the bugs this time around, eh?

Which ****ing floored me that they actually fixed cypher grabbing in the patch... But probably only because it affected multiple characters.
