Weird Marth Glitch

Yesterday I was playin some melee with goldenheartneko and I saw something I've never seen before. I was marth (can't remember now who his character was though, he might have been roy I'm not sure anymore). All I know is that I tried to jab with marth (idk if it was too early) and he didn't visually do the move. THEN the hit came out and hit neko. Basically marth stood there, and then a hitbox for the jab hit him but marth never swung his sword.

I was like WTF JUST HAPPENED. I've played this game since release and I am extremely knowledgeable about all the obscure glitches in this game but this I've never seen this.

I wish I could remember more about how it happened but It was unexpected and I'm pretty sure neko stopped recording after P:M when I put melee in.

whoa that's weird, you know why it does that or the timing of it or is it random?

it's supposed to happen right when the wind starts blowing, randomly, and only to marth. don't think neone knows exactly why it happens tho or ways to constantly recreate it, just a weird smash oddity.

I think Magus answered this. I think he either quit melee or stopped posting in melee.
Yeah once this happened to me 3 times in 1 match and i was yelling at the goomba tree. Yeah, you know what I mean. That's why Marth loses in DL....

He has been without a computer recently. AFAIK he should be back within a week or so.

anyway it probably has something to do with the sword trails and the blinking animation being in the same location in memory if they both occur simultaneously and thus Marth's gets canceled out, breaking the animation.
Magus' name has been mentioned so he'll show up eventually to give us the real reason lol. But welcome to 2005.

That glitch u are experiencing on dreamland is only on the 1.0 version of melee. If your friend had 1.1 or 1.2 you shouldn't be experiencing that. I am not sure, but i had at one point, all 3 versions and only 1.0 is where that glitch happened to me.
