So, like everyone else I have just my proof of my own experience.
Now to the story:
Two days ago I was playing against 3 level 9 Ness computer characters on Hyrule for a couple of hours. After dying once (there were many deaths, trust me) i jumped off of the respawn-hovercraft, came down onto the 3 ness computers who were stacked on top of each other with the down B, which you all know is the thunder, i hope
What came next was startling to me and the other 14 people in the room who happened to be watching me (they were about to head downtown, i'm not an attention *****).
As expected, lightning comes down to strike all 3 of them, who were also hit by the second damaging phase of the down b, which is the blue shock around pikachu. During the damaging phase of the attack, pikachu puts his hands in the air and creates... (i'll do my best to describe it, please believe that I am not exaggerating) ... anyway he creates an electric tornado, or like a static charged tornado that is about the same size as the pikachu. (keeping in mind this is different than the tornados that the level has by default. there was one of those going on the other side of the map simultaneously). This tornado sucked the 3 ness computers back in and instantly sends them to 999% damage ( maybe half a second, not instantly; you could see the numbers going up rapidly) and proceeds to keep them locked in the tornado for what seems like ten to twelve seconds. The ness comptuers then go flying off all directions of the screen and the room starts to stink because everyone **** their pants. I thought i broke the game, but gameplay resumed after the effect was finished.
I have been scouring the internet for some explanation to this. Immediately I thought it must be a glitch, but I fail to see how a glitch would create an electric tornado (i've never seen those graphics in SSB for the 64 before). If anyone could dig some information up about this please help me out, because it is making me go crazy.
Thanks, and I am glad there is still a forum for 64 smash
