Jab Glitch - any ideas?

[Toast]

I apologize if there's already a thread about this, I searched as best as I could. If there is, link me and lock this.


Earlier today I was playing as snake and accidentally did something very strange. What I think it was is this: you know in those old Melee Perfect Control videos, when a character would jab>CC>jab>CC extremely fast? I guess there's an angle on the control stick where the game registers it as tilted when it checks control stick position after a move, but not otherwise, because I had the control stick pointed slightly down and a tiny bit back and either held or mashed A (I can't remember) - what Snake did was do just the first punch of his jab repeatedly extremely fast. I mean, probably 5 or 10 times per second.

I tried to recreate it, but I only got it to go twice in a row. I'm sure some o
f you people could play with any tools you have to research this further, and maybe if more is discovered this could become pretty useful.


EDIT:
Jesus christ. I know what happens when you hold A, that's not what I'm talking about.
I'll bring this back up when I get a video.

 

[JesiahTEG]

You held A.

 

[JesiahTEG]

Opened at the request of the OP.

Edit: Whoops.

"What I'm describing isn't what you think I'm describing. I'm talking about a repeated jab animation that was ungodly fast and NOT anything like usual jab sequences - most likely not something intended by the programmers. I'm sure if you'll open it for discussion this can be cleared up."

 

[_Phloat_]

Yea, you held A.

 

[SuSa]

Go back and hold A without hitting anything, tell me what happens.

/end thread. srsly.

 

[Nintendevil]

Now unless you could do that when your hitting somebody, it's the same thing that always happens. When you hold A and you hit someone, the whole combo goes through. If you could get that stupidly fast jab as an attack each time that would be ****.

 

[Black_Heretic]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

hold A

just try it, I guarantee that its what you're talking about.

Jesiah, do your thing :D

EDIT: crouch cancels don't exist in brawl, you're thinking of jab cancels

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Seriously. I just wasted 2 minutes of my life.

 

[indianunit]

jesiah i'm asshamed why'd you reopen the thread? you know better than that.

 

[Chuee]

You held A ok.

 

[Toast]

I know what happens when you hold A. That's not what I'm talking about.
The whole 'this guy has 3 posts, he doesn't know ****' doesn't apply here.
I'll come back when I get a video.

 

[IxxI]

I think I know what you're talking about. I remember doing something like this a while back and only thinking, "That was weird."

 

[magikguy]

mean people.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Seriously guys, pay attention!

It was FASTER than the regular hold A jab!

Vids or it didn't happen.

 

[magikguy]

how do you knows its faster mr. ssj4

 

[Cosmick]

I know exactly what he's talking about. I'll get a video for you people that don't understand.

Thar u go. :>

 

[Eazyseph]

Cozmick to the rescue!
Snake mainers are queer sometimes lulz. Turning him down before he had a chance =/

Cozmick = too pro

Ah. This. A thread about this was made a while back. Something about that being a jab lock. But with DI it's easy to get out of.

I figured as much. I just knew that this is what he was talking about.

Unlike the rest of YOU people. D:<

 

[SuSa]

Still useless and it's been known for Brawl for a while for many characters. (Eg; go visit Lucario boards).

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

/threadx2

 

[Panix]

I didn't say anything =P. I sort of knew that he wasn't talking about holding A. he was explaining it in a different manner. I'm sure my little brother could understand if you hold A that he spams his jab. but if he's posting about it trying to call it a "lock" then i'd think it'd be a different AT.

 

[JesiahTEG]

This is actually a very useful technique that I use often in tournament play, even vs good players. I'm glad I re opened this thread.

 

[TEECO]

I belive in you toast, I wanna see this.

 

[MachinegunNorm]

looks pretty easy to get out of but i guess you could probably get away with doing it a few times.

 

[CaliburChamp]

It doesn't matter if it's easily DI'ed. It's great to pressure your opponents shield with this, along with a combination of F-tilt cancels. Too amazingly good, especially on wifi.

Could they not roll?

 

[JesiahTEG]

If they roll behind you, it's a free Ftilt. I use it at the edge when I have them trapped next to the edge, to force a roll. If they try to do anything else, they get hit, and if they roll behind, they get Ftilted also. Keep in mind, you have to have perfect spacing to do this, as otherwise you will get shieldgrabbed. It's annoying when that happens.

 

[xmisosoupx]

actually... if i may correct you guys, toast did mention the jab was so fast that he can jab "5 to 10 times per second" and i do not think the jab lock possesses such speed.

 

[Black_Heretic]

Snake has no jab lock o.0

 

[Panix]

Snake has no jab lock o.0

I dunno =O look at it! it's like.....a string of falcon punchs. so strong that they keep you standing still.
