What just happened

[SuperSwagBros]

Yeah this tournament happen awhile ago and idk how I missed it, but m2k gets back-thrown by Esam and he somehow escapes and Esam's Pikachu is flown into the air. There has to be a reason why it happened, so atm I'm just calling it mew2king super SeCreT TecH SkiLl. #M2KTOOGOOD

It looks like something occured that caused the game to somehow think that Diddy canceled the grab at the exact moment Pikachu grabbed him.

I know that is worded poorly, so I'll try to explain it in a way that makes sense. In the game, if you land a strike on your opponent at the exact moment they grab you, you will cancel the grab, but you will still take 3% damage and will flinch. Even though Pikachu didn't take any damage and was even in the middle of a throw when the grab was cancelled, Diddy still took 3% damage and even looked like he flinched in the same way that he would if he had successful cancelled the grab with a strike.

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I would have to say it was just a glitch that just happened to occur. If somebody knows more about what happened, feel free to correct me.

I see, they grabbed each other at the same time, but for some reason diddy's grab registered during pikachu's amimation, at this time pikachu broke out of it. Wierd

Not exactly. They didn't grab each other at the same time. If that happened, assuming the rules of port priority for grabs hasn't changed since the previous games, Pikachu would have ended up grabbing Diddy simply due to being player one, and that wouldn't have occurred at all.

What I believed happened is that the game must have thought that Diddy did something to stop Pikachu from grabbing him and thus allowed Diddy to break out of the grab when in reality Pikachu had already grabbed him and Esam had already input the command to throw him when the glitch occurred.

My guess is that the tilting of Lylat Cruise caused the grab to be interrupted. I've seen a few other moves cancelled by the stage in the fashion before. There's a video circulating around where some bowser's attack gets cancelled by the stage during a pretty critical part of the match I can't seem to find, but it's a good example.

That's the first I've heard about it. If that is the case, hopefully it isn't a glitch that occurs so often that it consistently becomes a problem.

Do you remember what channel it as? I want to search for it

Looks like, during the roll, the game registered as both players falling off the ledge, so the grab auto-broke. Diddy took damage equal to an autobreak of this nature.

AKA, Lylat doing Lylat things.

It's Lolat Crooz, yo.

 

[wedl!!]

lylat is ****ing broken

 

[Raijinken]

Lylat Screws, every time.

Obviously this game has a secret command input to reverse throws. We just need to figure out how to reverse Hoo Haw and the Diddy matchup will finally be winnable!


In all seriousness it's just Lylat being a stupid stage.

 

[Ultrashroomz]

This just made me hate Lylat Cruise even more than I already did.

Incidentally, I'm very disappointed with this board in that "M2K too good!" isn't winning the poll.

I remember the match, TourneyLocator, it was Denti vs someone (I think either Awestin or Bwett, can't remember) but just look for Denti's Bowser
