Weird Smashville Glitch: Lasting Arrow

[Stove]

First of all I wanted to say this is my first post on Smashboards! I joined today, after lurking this forum for a while, in order to be a part of the discussions for Pit!

Now for the glitch:

So I was playing some PM and this happened to me (Phone Quality) : http://gfycat.com/GeneralRemorsefulGermanspitz
I don't know what to make of it. It's just stuck onto the ledge and has a hitbox. I don't know if this has happened to anyone else so I'm posting it here to figure out why this happened and perhaps if it can applied in game to have a moving hitbox or if it's just a useless glitch.

To have such a tiny little hitbox just kind of sitting there, its uses would be very conditional. It looks pretty cool so if you can consistently recreate it, I guess it's just a nifty way to style after taking a stock or something. Would be pretty funny to poke someone with that though.

You're probably right. I've been trying for the past week to replicate this without success. It's difficult to replicate (for me at least), so I doubt it can be used as consistently as I had hoped.

This is actually something that carries over from the Brawl engine. Projectiles can get stuck on corners of stages if they hit at just the right angle. The most reliable way of recreating it I found was using fox/falco lasers on the lower area of New Pork City.

Pit probably has the only really "usable" instance of it since his arrows don't disappear after a certain length of time. But setting it up is simply too hard in most cases.

There is also the issue of the fact that the arrow can still disappear if your not careful, as it keeps the property that allows you to change the angle it headed with the control stick. if the arrow moves to far down or to the side it will "hit" the stage and disappear.

The fact that it has existed since Brawl and you've only just now seen it should be testament to its usefulness.
