Smash ball Glitch?

[Adler]

This has just happened to me.
I was playing a 3 stock match as Marth against a Level 9 Ike on Corneria.
A while into the fight a smash ball appeared and I broke it, Ike then hit me with an U-Air and I lost it again.
I managed to hit it with F-air and it scooted across the stage. Both me and the CPU started chasing it but then the smash ball broke and I got it back.

I didn't hit it again, it didn't crash into an item I threw prior, it just broke.

What Happened?

Maybe one of the Arwing's lasers hit it and it broke.

 

[iPikmin]

maybe with marth's invisible proyectile /joke

it just brooke and you got it from nowhere?

 

[Bete Noire]

I'm not sure why it even matters. You got the smash ball, after all >.>

That happened to me about 4 times through my time playing with smash balls, and that is rarely.

Well at least you didnt get the glitch, when if two characters break it. None of the characters may get the smash.

One time, I was in such a fierce, close fight for a Smash Ball, that the fight took too long, and the Smash Ball just disappeared. Immediately before I attacked it.

This has never happened to me, although I have heard of it happening.
