Massive lulz

Just when I thought the boomerang had no use if someone grabbed you. Too bad it looks so rare to pull off.

this would be fantastic, but if you throw the boomrang and then LINK grabs DIDDY does it still work? i hope so cuz then its just like a pitfall
super mega awesome

 

[KosukeKGA]

I don't think so. I think the movie creator would show that if you could.

It's funny, mainly because you could use the gust of the boomerang to fly opponents off the stage without hurting them (I think).

 

[St. Viers]

wow, that made my day.

 

[Lootic]

and they cant really ban this glitch cause its the opponent that screws up, right

So basically, we throw Link while his boomerang is coming back now (though unless I'm mistaken, I've grabbed him on many occasions and just had the boomerang have me release him)? The gross incompetence of Brawl's Beta Testers is being slowly revealed more and more by the day.

Ditto this opinion completely

 

[Onichi]

it looks like the glitch happens during the toss animation of a grab (the frames as you throw link, not after release) so a very small window of opportunity.

Lol, does anyone know if it works with other characters too? Or is it just with Diddy Kong, cuz this could be really useful.

It has something to do with Link's shield being hit by the GB. It probably takes him out of the hitting animation, but all Diddy can do is stand there until he "finishes the attack"(AKA forever) or someone hits him, taking him out of his "attack."
