How to Make Robin UNTRIPPABLE - Smash Ultimate Wiki Trivia

[@electricneel]

I see Robin is taking Chrom's advice, "There are better places to take a nap than on the ground you know." to a whole new level

[@ThatJazzCat]

Veggies aprove

[@amoura39]

OMFG THAT IS BRILLIANT LOL

[@defnotnaruto222]

Robin can't get tipped on the scales anymore :(

[@amoura39]

LOLLLL THAT'S SO GOOD

[@Geneolgia]

Chrom is the most memetic FE Lord and for that I love him lmao

[@floris1111]

The robin trip thing is most likely because they gave him trip immunity during the thoron casting animation to avoid animation bugs, but due to some coding error the trip immunity doesn't have an end flag

[@omegalegend9706]

Guess that makes sense.

[@RosalinaSama]

why would a second thoron in the stock reset it then? is it just an on off flag type of thing?

[@astroguy4957]

@@RosalinaSama I would assume that it doesn't actually set start/end just changes the state to whichever one it isn't

[@pyromaniac000000]

More than likely yes, this. Probably just made a type on the end flag, which happens sometimes, and since the code cant recognize the end flag cuz of the typo, it just doesnt happen. Youd be surprised how often this happens even in the most polished of games lol

[@shaddura]

@@pyromaniac000000 Could also be that the move ends before the end flag is activated, somehow. It's something you see often with moves that have different framedata on the ground and in the air -- landing/slipping off an edge mid-attack can cause some wonky effects, such as causing sword trials to linger or invincibility frames to last the entire move, since it's possible to "skip" these triggers given that they happen at different times whether you're on the ground or in the air. Thoron was made a lot faster in smash ultimate, so maybe they sped it up too much and thus it never reaches the part of the animation that disables the anti-trip effect?

[@bsg-jay7093]

Pacman uses the number 765 fairly frequently, so I think his forward air doing that exact amount was intentional

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

It helps that the game was actually made by Namco

[@N12015]

@@scarffoxandfriends9401 And the move had its damage actually buffed from smash 4.

[@Jess-I-Guess]

I don't have any experience with how Smash works internally, but perhaps Thoron uses a special state similar to armour on a lot of moves to allow it to finish and not be interrupted by tripping, and they forgot to have Robin exit that state afterwards. So once activated, they're trip-proof until they respawn, which resets all states. Just speculating. I could legitimately see that effecting the outcome of a pro match some time.

[@taxemicspark]

Literally what I was thinking as well, only way to find out is to see if you can trip robin out of Thoron and then test to see if you can interrupt other moves by tripping opponents

[@Ghostlyslime]

Does this work the same for Kirby? Now I'm curious

[@Diamond_Aura]

@@Ghostlyslime watch the video lol, he specifically tested this

[@pocket_squid]

Pretty sure that for Palutena, the dodging sound effect is supposed to be a reference to KI: Uprising, since Pit's is also taken straight from the game. So rather than have it be the "teleport" sound effect it's more just a reference, hence why it applies to the directional air-dodge despite her not disappearing.

[@mmandersmc]

Pac-Man's trampolines used in his up B are a reference to the arcade game Mappy by Namco. The trampolines start out as green when they haven't been used, and then become blue, yellow, red, and then break just as in Smash. However, I'm not sure why the trampoline became green after getting damaged in the trailer, as this would signify that it becomes 'unused' which doesn't make sense. Also, I tested Robin's state of 'untrippability' against an Inkay from a Pokeball, but unfortunately Inkay's trip is considered 'special' just like a banana peel, so Robin can't become immune to it.

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

It's possible they did it just so they could get the reference of it being green in there in general, but then changed their mind since fans would say it doesn't make sense.

[@justcallmexen]

A lot of Namco games have the 765 number reference in them, heck, Pac Man's final smash does it as well with the score for hitting consecutive enemies doubles the "score" he gets until reaching 8000 where it instead displays 7650.

[@shinyeeveelution789]

2:08 this entire thing. My guy, Kirby is a killer of gods. He could be considered the God of death for all other gods, even other gods of death.

[@mooredaxon]

I like Kirby being the starter character in WoL. Since he can get other fighter abilities, it can both encourage new players to try and fight new characters in order to see their ability, and helps them figure out which character they wanna play as once they find a copy ability they like.

[@flamethefurry3516]

I may be wrong, but in the pac man trailer, while its hard to tell, it looks like there are hit particle effects off screen when the water is interacting with samus, so that further supports the theory of pac mans water being a hitbox instead of a windbox during development before they changed their minds

[@shadowraith10]

The trip immunity is semi niche but in the Kazuya, DK, Kirby matchups specifically, it's pretty influential since if your opponent isn't aware the trip wont work, they can maybe be punished for it... Robin is slow and needs all he can get. DK, Kirby and Kazuya all make use of trip combos.

[@N12015]

You forgot R.O.B using its busted down tilt.

[@Oretal]

For pacman's final smash animation, I didn't even notice they removed the pellets he eats D: We gotta get pacman a meal! I think the animation still works, like it can also be viewed as him just raising his arms up, looking up with his mouth open as he is enjoying the rush of energy, then smiling back at the camera to show he's ready to transform. Though, I will always see his final smash as him just eating the pellets.

[@sofiacalado8836]

Hell in the Bayonetta series is Inferno, Heaven is Paradiso, and Earth is Purgatorio, or the world of Chaos. Most of her enemies actually come from Heaven as she's bound to killing angels every day, which is fun

[@33link333]

Purgatorio is a place in between the other 3 realms Our world/chaos is different from purgatorio

[@Commander_Appo]

Damn Robin would’ve been great in Brawl

[@BapaLCA]

Happy birthday PKBeats ! Hope there's still a lot to discover in this game, i don't want this serie to ever end not gonna lie

[@aqua_serene]

When he said "speaking of protection" I thought mans was about to have an ad read for trojan or sum.

[@Liggliluff]

Thanks for being one of the few creators who actually understands why the announcer voice lines are duplicated for characters with multiple genders (with those exceptions). Other creators are very confused and don't seem to realise there are other languages beside English.

[@star-ink4609]

“Speaking of protection- I would like to thank todays sponsor: Trojan”

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

Y’know how static electricity causes your hair to stand up? Yeah that’s essentially what’s happening to robin except it’s their entire body and especially their spine. (They are irradiated)

[@mini364983]

Something cool that might have happened for either palu or bayo is they could have been voice acted since both characters are arguably the most talkative in the game

[@miimiiandco]

It would've been really cool if Pac-Man ate the Smash Ball.

[@dillofreak7419]

In the Chinese names for Byleth, the male name is 贝雷特 (bay-lay-tuh), and the female name is 贝雷丝 (bay-lay-sih). As far as I can tell, it’s for the same reasons you brought up for the Japanese versions (masculine vs feminine), but interestingly the male version is usually how they translate the name “Berrett.” I think this probably a coincidence. Also, bonus thing I noticed in one of your other videos that talked about the names, the Chinese name for Pac-Man is 吃豆人 (chur-doh-run), which literally means “eat bean man,” which I find really funny for some reason, haha.

[@tiporosso]

As a Robin main since Smash 4 started, the non tripping glitch should be very helpful in those MUs.

[@fabri7932]

If anyone have played Kazuya's Classic Mode, I feel like the Lucario never trips when getting hit by Stature Smash for some reason... Probably unrelated to the Robin thing but still weird

[@Alesga03]

robin's announcer thing may be because he has two spanish names, in latin america they are called robin, while in spain they are called daraen (as far as i know), and with byleth even though the announcer calls them byleth, in japanese they are called "beretto" and "beresu" for the male and female respectively

[@loshtrimpo8781]

The voicelines are the same either way, so you either got 2 robin or 2 daraen

[@Yamanj23]

Same with French, in France they call them Daraen but in Canadian French they the name Robin. But Rosalina is named "Harmonie" in France French but in Canadian French she keep the name "Rosalina" Unless Rosalina also has 2 announcer voice lines as well this theory is probably wrong

[@santajohnsduraorduraclause4678]

Well you see bayo is a god slayer, plau is a god but Kirby? He is *Sakuris boi*

Dang, happy birthday and congratulations on 22! It’s amazing that you’ve been able to find such success doing something you really seem to enjoy at this age! I turned 22 this past summer, and it’s really inspiring to hear that we’re the same age, when so many KZbinrs I’m familiar with are a fair bit older. Gives me hope. Anywho, enjoy the birthday, and here’s to a fantastic year!

[@dogboyton3166]

I know you are focused on wiki stuff at the moment, but hear me out for a useless fact submission. When Fox beats Falco in a 1v1, Fox actually has a unique line for his victory screen. I haven't tested this with wolf, nor have I tested with more than two players. But yeah, Fox gets a unique victory screen line if he beats Falco.

[@oygemprime3864]

we have no idea how smash works, but our best guess is they made thoron give you untrippable for some reason and forgot to have it take it away at some point?

[@calebgraham2806]

Happy 22nd birthday! I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy your content!

[@CanvasK]

To clarify the wording at 12:51 re: "The Slip Effect". Pretty much every hitbox has an "effect" coded. In most cases it is just visual stuff like "flame" causes the fighter to be on fire, "coin" (on Super Jump Punch) causes coins to appear, "magic" (not to be confused with the "type" of the same name) causes sparkles, etc. However, some actually do things like "electric" causes more hitlag, "sleep" puts fighters to sleep, "flower" adds a flower to the character and does damage over time, and "slip" forces a trip (unless you have Trip Immunity spirits). Ruben (a prominent Smash researcher) says that Thoron seems to bypass the trip chance calculation; why it does that to begin with is a mystery. Also, that trivia was added within 12 hours of Archmage's tweet. It may be a bit difficult to make a full video in that time.

[@CaptBlock]

My guess on the World of Light survivor thing is: A) Kirby is a good beginner character and a starter, B) He was in SSB64, C) He's very family friendly by default, unlike the other 2, and D) Starting with just Palu or Bayo would feel wrong. Also happy belated birthday!

The reason why palu and bayo would be able to escape galeem is because they could escape to alternate universes and stuff,this is also why kirby's warp star was able to escape too since Its so fast that warp space and time or something like that,the warp star is strange

[@acecovers7390]

Yooooo happy birthday PKBeats!

[@eizzah8323]

Thoron being kinda glitchy anyways (see the effects of time on thoron and how they had to remove kill screen from thoron because the move wouldn't work) I'd say they put a flag to avoid robin getting tripped during thoron but forgot to remove that flag once thoron has been launched/interrupted ?

[@pin8584]

Bayonetta has slain countless amounts of angels (her main enemies) and demons (something went wrong with Bayonetta's relationship with demons in Bayonetta 2). She even has killed her world's God (Jubileus) and defeated the god of chaos (Aesir). It was pretty obvious because they could connect Galeem with Jubileus for Bayonetta and Dharkon with Hades for Palutena. This is also the reason why Pit and Dark Pit were shown in her original reveal trailer because she actively hunts for angels to feed her demons, be a sassy sadist, and acquire golden halos.

[@pokeyscorpion8224]

Kirby is by FAR the most powerful character in smash from a lore perspective, so him surviving Galeem makes perfect sense

[@dextra_24703]

DK and Kirby use their down tilt for a few combos with their grabs

[@asadickens9353]

For Kirby / Bayonetta / paulutenna in the world of light, I thought it was lore reasons. Like Bayonetta and Kirby were the only ones who are able to out run galeem based on how they move in their respective universes. Then it came down to how popular/well known the character was. Kirby checked all the boxes.

[@extremmefan7305]

Robin would be OP in Brawl also happy (belated) birthday, PK!

[@iceheart_115]

Super late and not sure if this was posted before, but just a neat thing about the Bayonetta dimension hop thing she can do, heaven is Paradiso, Purgatorio is the kinda middle ground where angels and witches can interact on earth without hurting normal people unless they damage the surroundings, and hell is Inferno.

[@anaceattorneyfangreatgame9770]

I believe that the reason is the game is updating robin's state, (Spell Book) on the same frame, meaning his state cannot be overridden unless it's by force.

[@wolfie-_-ranger7932]

When it comes to Robin, I think an anti-tripping effect was added to the move, and the devs just forgot to have that effect removed at the end of the animation. Also, happy birthday!

[@ruffe777]

Happy birthday, PKBeats!

[@TBird136]

2:10 If you take lore into consideration, Kirby would still live because he is the reincarnation of a god AND has defeated gods multiple times

The next game should “balance” Robin by getting rid of the sword/tome “use” meter, the Levin Sword always being out, and making Robin always immune to tripping. In their original game, Robin’s in-game class models *_don’t have feet_* during combat. :3

[@mastermewtwo5503]

Bayonetta lore: The angels Bayonetta fights have their home known as Paradiso (or Heaven). Demons come from Inferno (or Hell, also Rodin's bar is the Gates of Hell). Angels and demons reside in a parallel plane of existence called Purgatorio, and Bayonetta can freely travel there to fight them, otherwise they're invisible except with special lenses (that Bayonetta uses) and intangible except if you were to strike with an object (physical objects will work fine, mainly in the first game where you protect Young Cereza and Bayo can't punch the enemies). Some people thought maybe Bayo could survive Galeem's attack in Purgatorio, but she's not actually travelling anywhere different, it's a parallel plane where Galeem probably already touches.

[@sherbertshortkake6649]

For the survivor of Galeem, they chose Kirby because he is the ultimate beginner character, and they wanted to prepare for new players who start with WoL. Yes, he has faced and defeated multiple universe ending threats like Galeem, but I'd like to make it clear as a Kirby fan that Kirby has *never* flied faster than the speed of light before. In fact, he doesn't actually ride the Warpstar that often either. It makes sense that Kirby could defeat Galeem, but it doesn't actually line up with the lore for him to *flee* Galeem. Edit: Actually, I think the Warpstar may indeed have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, so Kirby's escape could indeed be canon.

[@shinyeeveelution789]

I do believe there are a few pause screens depicting his warp star being able to travel faster then light when necessary.

[@sherbertshortkake6649]

@@shinyeeveelution789 I've just gone in search of an answer and the Wiki appears to provide an interesting theory. If you pay attention in-game when Kirby is riding a warpstar, he is often seen flying into the background before he disappears in a sparkle of stars. The Wiki suggests that this could actually be Kirby teleporting to the next area, instead of simply being a basic animation. Upon that, with reflection on the literal name of the Warpstar, it would make sense that it could travel at 'WARPSPEED'; ie, fast enough to travel through dimensions. In this case, I think I can safely recede my argument. The Warpstar must have had the ability to travel through spacetime the entire time and I just never payed enough attention to notice. Thanks!!!

Could require more testing but If Thoron makes Robin change to a state of seudo-airbone and it doesnt finish (you can see how his air moves changes doing the move) and that explain why normal tripping does not work

[@cjlite0210]

I'm pretty sure Pac-Man's jab clanking with Hydrant's water is accurate considering before patch 9.0.0, jabs could clank with other moves, which was removed in patch 9.0.0 Idk if this was also the case for windboxes, and it's hard to test without reverting back to before 9.0.0, so my best guess is that was the case
