EDIT: I've been getting comments regarding Link's final smash disappearing in front of Link. Due to the portrait of Link blocking the CPU Link during this, we can't tell exactly what's happening, but I can say with almost utmost certainty that Link's shield does NOT block the Ancient Arrow. I can't test it thoroughly rn, but I had also performed this Witch Time test before, and the light streak DID go through Link as well. So all I can say is that what you saw in this video was a visual quirk, and at the very least, I can still confidently say the Ancient Arrow wasn't reflected, since if it was, it still would have hit the CPU Link. Have a good Thanksgiving, and if you don't celebrate, have a good week! Good luck to those taking their finals, too!

[@ObiAlmighty]

Have a great Thanksgiving buddy! Your vids are so cool and I hope you reach infinite subs!

[@musique-ef3rz]

You too! Oh by the way, command grabs like captain falcon's up b or incineroar's side b act differently when one of the characters are under the effects of a timer. This allows incineroar to true combo side b into a lot of moves smash if the opponent is timered.

Alright, here's an interesting detail. Joker's Rebellion Gauge can actually change color when Stage Morph is enabled. 1.) Make sure Stage Morph is on. 2.) Pick Mementos, and choose a track from either Persona 4 or Persona 3. 3.) Pick any stage, as long as it isn't Mementos with a track from the same game as your first selection. 4.) Pick Joker, and load the match. 5.) Wait until the morph is over, and Joker's Rebellion Gauge will change from the first stage's color to the second. It also reverts to the first stage's color when it morphs back.

there's another move that's screwed up by the speed in training mode: Bowser's FAir when you drop through a Battlefield side platform.

For anyone unfamiliar, the "team power" stat is entirely irrelevant to your characters power. What matters are the two stats you see right next to them. As you might be able to guess, the boxing glove influences your damage dealt and the shield influences your damage taken, and these two are only dependent on your primary spirit, adding or removing support spirits do not influence them at all.

[@satonut9699]

Ok so the team power is only to have a grasp of the level of team you should have and to influence the rewards after a battle in the world of light or the spirit board?

All duck hunt duo smash attacks also get affected in slowmotion. The crosshairs that come out of the smash attacks recieve a second hit each making them extremely powerful, i tested it out and one fully charged smash attack deals 50% of damage! This works with the clock item, training stage slower speeds and custom smash set to slow speed.

I discovered the following, but it might already be known: if Isabelle hits a Hothead to make it bigger and pockets it, when she takes it out it will revert to its original size. This doesn’t work with a Galaga, though. (I’m not sure about Villager either.)

[@wtfaflyingnyancat]

The people saying that secondary spirits increase damage/defense were probably looking at the spirit team's Team Power, which increases when using secondary spirits, but is a very informal way of calculating "power" in order to compare to other spirits.

[@BurningHotdog]

if you place down links bomb in front of a bomb block in a custom stage, the first time the block respawns, it will immediately explode. But when it respawns, it'll ignore the bomb, until the bomb explodes either from time or link.

[@nocturn333]

6:24 The team power score doesn't affect your damage output or input. The multiplier for damage from primary spirits come from the attack and defense scores, which stays the same as long as you use the same primary spirit. As long as those don't change, you won't take or deal additional damage (before accounting for other spirit effects). Also, most support spirits boost damage by either *1.05 or *1.1. The Special Move up spirit that you used has the 1.05 multiplier.

If you play Duck Hunt’s Final smash in training mode at 1/2 speed, the audio drops in pitch during the final smash, but not before and after.

Dang, the secret of the home run bat has finally been revealed to the general public. Looks like the days of shocking people with ending the animation early are over.

[@BunnerTime]

So something important about spirit power levels that people forget is that the big number is a generalized "here's about where you place in terms of how powerful you are" and *not* "here's how much your stats change." The orange and blue bars with numbers off to the right are the actual stat modifiers for damage and defense respectively. AFAIK support spirits will not change those, and the only way to technically modify them is with conditional support spirits such as Fist Attack Up and Critical Defense.

I found out how to get R.O.B's Gyro back. You need Isabelle, but maybe Villager works. Get the Gyro stuck, and then use Pocket above the level where the Gyro would fall and respawn.

Here’s a little something I discovered today which is definitely a little weird. You can’t see items in the icon that shows you offstage. I discovered this when I used snakes down taunt near the blast zone. Some of the animations are a little funny. But I would have thought you would be able to see items offstage.

[@DoctorNovakaine]

With spirits, the secondaries affect the power value, but I think attack damage is based off of the primary spirit's actual offense value. This could be confirmed by using the Absolutely Safe Capsule, which has zero offensive boost.

[@that1kermitkid403]

I HAVE A POINTLESS FACT! The text in the black box just above the Smash icon, the one with announcements and whatnot, stays in place when changing screens. The text won’t turn with the rest of the screen. It’ll also squeeze itself between the black lines between the selectors.

[@melodiousgames342]

The problem with the “power boost” from secondary spirits is that while it boosts the spirits overall power, if you check the stats break down it doesn’t change anything. So, that means that the overall spirit power doesn’t mean it’s physical stat boosting power, it also means the extra special boosts by secondary spirits are taking into account. This could also mean that secondary spirits would have their own spirit power, individually.
