Shield Glitch? (Video)

[MRTW113]

Weird. I was playing a lvl 9 Dedede, and this happens. I ftilt, and he shields. I'm pretty sure he drops his shield, and then he gets pushed back, and I take 3% damage.

If you pause around 0:22, you can see that DDD shield grabs, and is in range, but he takes knockback, and I take damage and barely any knockback.

Any ideas?

Could be a glitch but perhaps your Zelda's ftilt has some particles that can be reflected? then super shield? who knows...

He grabbed while being pushed off the edge. That's what happens if somebody grabs and then there is no longer any ground below them.

So, a shield push then? But where did the 4% damage come from?

9 - 6 = 3 :bigthumbu

What's the damage on D3's grab attack?

The game somehow deals damage during some instant grab breaks. Its been happening a lot for me with Olimar recently, and it happens more when they break by attacking, since Olimar doesn't have grab armor.

one of those great mysteries in brawl? like jiggs shield breaking = insta death? LOL

Except that has been in every Smash game to date, so we know it's intentional.

The damage probably came from a pummel.

 

[J4pu]

it always happens when lack of ground forces a grab break
you Ftilt his shield, he started sliding away, he grabbed you, he slid off edge, caused forced grab break, you took 3 damage.

A DeDeDe pummel makes 3% not 4% and also it doesn't comes out that fast like in the video.

 

[J4pu]

it was 3%...

 

[Cheapless Jared]

I have no idea how you can use that to your advantage, so it shouldnt really be a concern. Kinda,

 

[Tektite]

Well if we discover how to do it and the advantages it has it maybe can be a useful new technique.

 

[Cheapless Jared]

Just like ledgehogging. Oh the days where it used to be fair.. How I cherish them.

 

[Sushi-Man]

This has happened to me several times. It only happens when there is no longer any ground beneath you when you grab.

Lol its ok. Even cpu's nowadays ledgehog...a_a

Ok it looks like, and this is just a theory, the DeDeDe perfect shields your attack it reflects on you. That's my only explanation other then it being some random glitch.

 

[MRTW113]

Hmm...yeah, it probably was instant grab break. But the weird part was that when I took damage there's a big ol' electrical spark that seemingly separates the two along with that "magical" sound that DDD definitely doesn't make..


Oh, and about the damage typo, I was in such a rush to post it, I couldn't subtracted correctly.

I don't think that's it It used to be similar to that, in melee powershielding a projectile bounces it back but they even took that out, and I don't think you can bounce back a close range attack nice guess tho. I think this has happened to me before, when I dashgrab someone on the edge as MK i end up sliding off the stage releasing them and dealing damage, Grab release damage possibly?

 

[Nexus Bond]

That glitch is the same as the one that occurs when Pokemon Stadium is transforming and someone's in someone else's grab, nothing new. That's just what the game does when the grabber is pushed into the air. In the vid, Dedede was pushed back a little when Zelda's ftilt hit, and fell off the stage, causing the grab to break.

 

[sonic 12111]

i think that after the sheld was hit ddd slid off the edge and zelda gave ddd 3% damage. but really, is 3% damage ever gonna be the factor to winning or losing...

 

[Wylde]

If it was a reflected attack then pits shield would reflect it as well {Lucarios side b is reflected by it lmao}

Pummel animation was canceled by the jump release.

 

[Bellioes]

Yeah Actually you can Powershield reflect projectiles
But this is the instant grab break so he couldnt have started pummeling
The instant grab break is where the grabber leaves the stage for some reason other than getting hit (previous situations mentioned: PS changing forms, you slide of stage)
In this case, he shieldgrabbed you after you Ftilted his shield. Your Ftilt pushed him back just enough so that right when he grabbed you, he slid of the stage and did the instant grab break. You take damage when this happens too explaing the 3%.
