Yoshi's Story left side Randall multi ledge grab

[flwns]

Hey all, I don't know if this has been discovered or not, but I was messing around on Yoshi's Story with Luigi and came across this strange and useless phenomenon involving Randall and the left side ledge on Yoshi's.

I made a short video detailing it, here ya go: youtube dot com / watch?v=MaMNadW3uNA

Let me know if this is old news or not or whatever.

I've seen this happen quite often (being a Luigi main). I can't think of any practical application for it, but I do know that if this happens when I'm trying to ledgedash it can sometimes cause me to either tournament winner or airdodge to death. Good job documenting it.

I believe Luigi has one of the largest ledge grab boxes (I know that he has one of the largest out of his up-B, but I don't know whether this applies in general). I'd assume that it's this in combination with his low falling speed that keeps him in range of Randall for a longer period of time than other characters.

I'm not sure what the maximum amount of times you can grab the ledge is, but I have gotten more than you did in your video before (about 6 regrabs, maybe?).

By the way, it's okay to post links here; you don't have to take the dots out or put spaces in or anything (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaMNadW3uNA)

In this video, I explain a similar phenomenon with Fox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJv3Yq-QxzA

Nice find about Luigi, though. His CliffCatch animation puts his ECB just where it collides with the cloud as soon as on frame 3, so you can chain a lot of these grabs with him. This also backs up what I suspected for some time: that CliffCatch has intangibility on every frame; the long intangibility you can use for things like ledgedash are granted upon CliffWait 0.

Here is a graphical explanation of the Luigi thing (view frame-by-frame to read the text):

Thanks for the response, I was unable post a link because I have under 10 posts.

I don't fully understand what you've posted kadano, but I will eventually. I think your channel is great btw.

If you've seen all of my Mechanics videos, you should know all the terms I used in the animation. Just ask me about it if there's something left after that.

Imagine denying someone the ledge like this.

I'm dumb, at first I didn't realize what you posted was an animation. I get it now. Thanks kadano for doing what you do.
