Competitive Melee's Most Common Glitch

[@FauxFalsetto]

The year is 20CC, invisible ceiling combos are meta, and matches are determined by who is better at staying on the right side of the stage. Nobody’s seen a star KO on stage for years. Somehow Jigglypuff is still played.

hi everyone

[@Minty_Meeo]

I wonder if the sliding velocity being positive or negative explains why the invisible ceiling acts differently on the left and right.

[@YoSoyKahn]

Great theory

[@stakewp]

Is this testable? Does the negative value cause an effect like that somewhere else in melee? I'm sure someone here will know an example if it exists

[@jaysean9589]

I thought it was about what side of the shield you're on, not what side of the stage.

[@SeventhSolar]

Jay Sean Yes, which is why we’re talking about velocity and not coordinates, not that coordinates should ever be relevant.

[@Robbie_Haruna]

The thing that gets me the most is that it's specifically the left and right of the shield that changes how it operates and not the front and back, which would make a lot more sense since the shield flips when a character rotates

@@jk844100 I think it comes down to the utility. I can't name an ultimate glitch that's particularly utilizable. There are certain techs, like AC and Dashwalks, but they're not exactly exploits or glitches, and nothing about them is super universally practical, or even that interesting to look at. Where as melee has like a bajillion extremely practical ones, a bajillion practical ones that look janky as shit, and like a bajillion just straight up jank ones. The second you see weird shit, it raises questions like how the fuck they did that. Ultimate does not have that sense of wonder at all because it's very flowcharty.
