I couldn't possibly imagine z-cancelling in SSB to be a glitch as it carried over to SSBM in the form of L-cancelling where it just reduced lag frames by exactly 1/2...
Big N definitely did it on purpose.
While we're on this subject, I've always wondered if their programmers are just really unlucky or freaking BRILLIANT GENIUSES WRITING POETRY. Seriously, you look at games such as Metroid Prime, and it's a haven for glitches, sequence breaks, and just an amazingly long lasting 1P game that a community can pick apart for years after it's release. But then you look at it's sequels and just sigh (though, MP3 does have some interesting glitches/sequence breaks and they're still finding many).
Then things like being able to escape the bomb chozo room in Super Metroid, but you only have exactly 41 frames to do so (lol super wave dash timing in Melee).
Being able to beat Super Mario 64 with just 1 star/16 stars, using a glitch that just doesn't give a shnoz as to what walls you're running into abusing the ridiculous physics of the game (also, beautiful physics)...
Not to mention we're all still finding new things in Melee to this day... I just feel like Nintendo is notorious for making games playable to so many different levels, and giving games really good replay value.
Man, it would be so amazing to think they all did it on purpose. It's probably the prettiest thing to ever be written on paper.

IAMINTERFACE LOL (1:02:28 AM): I think.
IAMINTERFACE LOL (1:02:31 AM): If you could find proof.
IAMINTERFACE LOL (1:02:32 AM): Of such a thing.
IAMINTERFACE LOL (1:02:39 AM): It would be like seeing the face of God.
excelexcel25 (1:19:31 AM): it'd be crazy if nintendo was a lab of people sitting around a table, smoking cigars
excelexcel25 (1:19:35 AM): reading smashboards and laughing
excelexcel25 (1:19:43 AM): "they finally found the freeze glitch! ahahahaha"
Cort 28633 (1:19:48 AM): LOL
excelexcel25 (1:20:01 AM): have they cracked the frozen turnip glitch yet?
