Recovery Glitch?

[Pangwell]

Ok, so earlier today I was playing a match against a Falco on Pokemon Stadium, and in the middle of the transformation I had knocked him off the stage. When he tried to use his Firebird, it activated, but then didn't follow through. What ended up happening was instead he slowly fell down and then passed the blast line and died.

I was looking around and I can't find any references to a glitch like this. Does anyone have any idea why it happened?

He probably got stuck under the stage, you can't really see it because of stadium's edges block the view

Maybe. I can't see any evidence of it online, but I was pretty sure the second part of the firebird didn't activate.

Maybe it has to do with the 20XX pack that I installed... *shrug*

I've had experiences where I use firebird with a lot of downward momentum off screen, and it seems like Falco pauses for a second and then drifts off. But when I meteor cancel with firebird while not off screen, I've always stopped completely.

You move downward slightly during the up-B charge.
