So what you're saying is that the Kirby has become aware of its own existence, able to make a choice and freely determine the outcome of the match. My God... We are all going to die at the hand of Kirby.i have an explanation for the alternation.
The wii wants to compact your match to be as little data as possible. So what it does is remember your input, second for second. It could memorize the computer's input second for second too. But it says hey, i have a copy of a level 3 kirby right here. Instead of remembering what it did, i can just recreate what the kirby would have done. This saves room. no kirby input.
So why does it alternate? The kirby AI doesn't actually do the same thing every single time. At some point during the recreation of what kirby should do, a random variable gets thrown in. At some point, it gets stuck between two seemingly good options, or something, and it flips a coin to decide its next input.
If it picks the input it did against you the first time, you get the real normal replay, because your recorded input matches up well against the kirby's input and you kill it.
If it picks the input it didn't do the first time, that it just does sometimes, then it throws the rest of the match off for you. Your moves don't coincide right. you die.
It could but the game can also record that like buttons eg.I don't know if the tripping is random debate has been concluded or anything, but...
Since this thread proves that replays are merely a recording of button inputs, wouldn't that also prove that tripping is not truly "random"?
This isn't something to be scared about, it's just a malfunction. The same thing happened to me when I played Sonic R, I watched the replay... And then my character just kept on bumping into a wall.Oh man, where to start.
Ok, look. I made a level a little while ago, and I was doing some testing on it with me using Toon Link against a level 9 Kirby. I killed the Kirby with perfect stock (I used two stock so the match would not drag on) and I decided to record the match so it would save as a replay. I always do this so in case I decide to alter it greatly, I can have the old layout saved. Anywho, I began to watch the replay.
Then, something...STRANGE happened. The match started off ok, with me scoring 17% damage on Kirby and Kirby scoring 8% damage on my Toon Link. Then... Toon Link began to act strangely, and he flew off the level with a down stab and killed himself. The match hardly even started. Now, this caused me to sit up and watch, because I KNEW for a FACT I did not die when I fought him. Anyways, the match continued on with Toon Link acting weird and Kirby whooping him, then he killed ME with perfect stock.
So I watched the replay again. The second time yielded the real match that I recorded, with me finishing with perfect stock and killing Kirby. So I watched the replay again, and the fake match came back on. Then I watched it again, and the real match came back on.
...Needless to say, I went into the kitchen to get some water, because I thought I was losing my mind. Maybe I was hallucinating? I came back and watched it again and again, over and over, and the same thing kept HAPPENING. I got scared, strange as it may sound, because it was just freaky.
Before anyone asks, yes, I recorded the phenomenon. The quality is crappy, but your sight is not hindered in any way to force you to not be able to see.
EDIT: Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s84hYcQqKGs
I am not yanking anyone's leg, or pulling any pranks. I am dead serious, and freaked out by this ordeal. I am thinking about even putting up the exact same level for upload on the stage browser so other people can test this strange occurrence. I want EVERYONE to try this on this one level, just so I can see what the problem is. Maybe it is just a glitch? Maybe it is the level? Something internal? One too many replays saved? Whatever it is, it's weird, and it NEEDS to be tested.
At the very least, to put to ease the mind of one of your own, because guys, that kind of thing is not cool at all.
I want everyone to watch this video from the first second to the last, and to come back here and give me your thoughts and theories. My own theory is that my disc is haunted and I need to take it to a priest, or maybe that the replay file is corrupted, and the fake video is a gathering of data from the real one to create something seemingly similar, but with a completely different outcome/results.
I don't feel like reading past the first page, yet all 4 pages so I am going to post what happenedOh man, where to start.
