If this does happen to be a new Little Mac tech, then I am giving it a name. I call it, Wiff Punching
So recently, I have encountered quite the peculiar thing in an online match. I cannot get footage of it (Because the camera is always jerked around every time I attempt due to arm movements) I was on a ledge with the K.O Meter ready. I went to attempt a Gazelle Punch (which I;m still trying to learn the timing with) but instead, I jumped and used the K.O Punch. It looked like the K.O Punch didn't hit the opponent (Which happened to be Mewtwo) put apparently it did. Here comes the weird Part, the momentum from the punch sent them vertically, but with no damage. The craziest part is that so much momentum caused my opponent to fly off the stage to the opposite side of my ledge. (I'm on left, they are on Right) Is this a glitch? Did I happen to discover a new tech?
I have only been able to recreate it once but against Ness. Same Conditions.
(Small update) SO I was able to recreate it twice at 1/4 Speed. What I have noticed is that the area right outside the hitbox of the move is positioned in such a way that only the horizontal part of the punch comes close to hitting, while the part when it starts to angle upwards and go upwards is not close to the enemy. It also seems to only work on floaty characters, as they are the only ones that seem to be affected right now.
