Yo-Yo Glitch Hitboxes and Frame Data

I took it upon myself to make a video showing the hitboxes of the Yo-Yo glitch. I hope this helps people understand it that same way it helped me.
Also, "Releasing after Ness flashes yellow once" means after charging for 7-12 frames.
If you're wondering about the clip in Mushroom Kingdom I, it's showing how hitboxes were programmed into Melee to only refresh if a hitbox stays out long enough to actually hit 13 things. So if you hit 13 things, the 1st thing out of those 13 can be hit again, which makes the 2nd out of those 13 can be hit again, etc.

NOTE: I already put this in Ness' Character discussion, and since nobody ever goes there and it's completely dead, I thought I'd put it here. Just so more people would notice it and get help from it.

Yeah, I'm a visual learner, and I know other people are too, so I thought this might help anyone who's trying to have some Ness Shenanigans like me.

[Shoopman]

Poor Marth.
Awesome video.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Awesome job. That was great

 

[Doc King]

Pretty cool, now I can get a real view on what the Yo-yo glitch looks like from the box data and how it really works.

 

[Jonas]

Haha the hitbox looks like a laser beam O__O

Awesome video, I was just discussing how this was one of the only things I didn't exactly know how to do beyond the general concept

 

[MooseEatsBear]

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys! I'd be glad to do more of these with other things if you have any requests you might be thinking of...

 

[Doc King]

How about a list of team combos or a list of unique stuff you can do in Melee. I would love to see that.

Do you mind it being in both sections?

 

[Teczer0]

Not at all.

 

[Doc King]

I mean to just make a video with cool and interesting stuff that you can do in Melee, like Team Combos, Tech skill, glitches, etc.

I already made a techskill video, or do you want things like these with the hitboxes showing?

This would be so good if more destructible stages were legal. I was able to get it to work on Brinstar a few times, but not very consistantly. Anyone who could consistantly set this up on brinstar may actually have a good ness counterpick. Even still it'd be hard to set up any time not between stocks so... ya probably still useless even if you could master it on brinstar. So cool though.

This is awesome-- Ness for top tier, lol.

i'm pretty sure in some places you can's do the yoy glitch like on slopes and junk that may stop brinstar depths from working.

Glitching up Stages and Projectiles

* There are several stages where you can use parts of the level to set the YYG hitbox.

Green Greens - The star blocks
Peach's Castle - The switches (no charge needed)
Yoshi's Island - The flippy blocks
Icicle Mountain - The big ice blocks
Mushroom Kingdom II - Birdo

* Certain projectiles stay in the ground for a moment after a character uses them. These can be YYG'd.

Sheik's needles
Link's arrows
Young Link's arrows

That's according to the guy that discovered the YYG and made the Guide.
