See the linked video, noticing the backwards momentum of my UpB.

Any thoughts on what happened? Was this a anomoly because of KO punch?

Assuming it isn't, how can we reproduce this?

Light years from facing Brock!

This interaction between Mac's KO punch and Cloud's Up-B allowed Cloud to successfully avoid the hit with the initial hitbox of the Up-B by soaking the hit, knocking Mac out of his animation after the frame of Super armour he receives, while Cloud went flying backwards due to the resulting windbox of the whiffed punch (a common occurrence when closely avoided). It would seem useless to try and replicate this in any fashion, as it would be very hard to pull off in a match and the results are necessarily amazing. However, if anyone can find a use for this, more power to you. I may have missed or incorrectly detailed something, so please excuse me for that.
