Rest Glitch vs Charizard and Bowser - Found the cause!

[Darklink401]

So my friend stumbled upon this, and thought "that shouldn't happen"

After some research, he found out that if you try to Rest Charizard or Bowser as they're using fire breath (and hitting something), Rest will not send them anywhere.


Like such:

This obviously shouldn't matter in singles, but it can come into play in doubles, situationally (I see no reason it can be beneficial to a Puff-Zard team xD) so watch out for that, and don't try to punish fire breath with rest without watchin if they're hitting somethin~

Have you tried seeing if this happens in the air? Looks a lot like it just meteor smashes them.

this game is ridiculous

If it spiked them, they'd bounce up and likely die due to rest's high knockback x.x

What the... Really? Good to know. Now I'm curious as to whether or not anything else triggers this glitch, though I'm sure more of us would have noticed something by now if that were the case.

it could be something advanced that when they are doing the fire breath animation, there either go to "In Air state" on ground or have their collision bone higher up.
when rest hits them it quickly changes everthing back to normal. since now the game register that they "are on the ground" when they would fly away, making them hit the ground without bounce.
