I'm pretty sure this is some sort of glitch with the up B parachute...

What happened?

I think it has to do with that when you sway, your hurtbox doesn't quite exactly move with your body, but actually stays under the axis of where you sway... but I could be wrong

 

[ADMJP]

think about how you can use the up-b to prevent damage from the lava on norfair.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

That was totally ridiculous looking, and RocketPSIence's explanation is plausible sounding. I suspect it may be more complex than that (that state is really screwy, such as the Norfair behavior), but I don't have a model to explain it at all.

Good find though!

 

[Mr. Escalator]

I typically have a idea of what it occurring, but all I can do right now is compare it to my finding of the Norfair glitch with his upB. It seems related and I am now really curious.

**** you.
**** you to HECK. You made me curious with this find.

also good job finding this

I think I've had this done to me a few times, but I figured the attack just missed my hurtbox as I swayed.
You should look into it Esc, being curious and'll :).

 

[Vinnie]

hmm.... Needz moar replies.

 

[MrsSaturnandWatch]

.Game and Watch is the new Kool Aid man! OH YEAH!

 

[Vinnie]

Hmm, that's a great point you bring up. Interesting...

I guess it seems G&W is invincible when swaying backwards on his Up-B.

My guess is that you can try to exploit this by doing reverse Up-Bs to recover.

Oh, this is an obscure Peach glitch. When she releases her float on a particular frame of her fair her fair loses its hitbox. It was first noted a good while ago by nikok.... I can't be bothered to find the video though .

EDIT: actually I can be bothered to find the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NHSHTNXHuM

It happens at 0:12

 

[Vinnie]

Oh...............

 

[fraudster111]

ZOMFG i Soooo didnt know that norfair glitch existed.

 

[Mr. Escalator]

Yeah, you got my curiousity up so I pointed HG to this thread to help me look into it and he said it was a Peach glitch. Mystery solved.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Hmmm, still doesn't explain the Norfair glitch though.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

I got so excited for a second after reading what A2Z said.

bummer.
