I looked briefly at the sun accidentally and there was a huge circle in my vision for 15 minutes

[@ngotemna8875]

The tricky thing about solar eclipses is that the very noticable reduction of daylight causes your pupils to widen. So when you look at the solar eclipse it's exponentially worse than when you look at the sun in broad daylight because of how surface to radius ratio works in circles.

[@machnesntsn_ind.]

[@TheLastComa]

I work with a woman who is temporarily blind from the eclipse. She was driving and looked up while the sun was behind the clouds. Doctor said her vision would be back but all she says she can see is black with a red center. It sounds so silly to warn people to not look at it...but all humans have variables and some of us could be effected way worse than others. Be safe friends!

The pressure plate being activated by your feet is honestly true to Minecraft. You cant punch then to activate them in game, only step on them, wo that makes a lot of sense😂

[@machnesntsn_ind.]

well in minecraft they are activated by your hitbox which is bigger than your feet. it also meens that if you walk through a prssure plate (if you somehow glitched it in midair) it will still be activated.

[@hihi9434]

@@machnesntsn_ind. okay so the intended mechanic of the game is that only your feet active it. Obviously in most games if you create circumstances that defy the normal game logic (a floating pressure plate) then yeah most of the rules don't apply.

[@machnesntsn_ind.]

@@hihi9434 what Im saying is that the feet dont need to touch the pressure plate even in normal circumstances since the hitbox is bigger than the player model.

[@CiromBreeze]

You don't even need to use glitches to have a pressure plate be "floating" - just attach it to a fence or scaffold.

[@machnesntsn_ind.]

@@CiromBreeze I thoght that was possible but wasnt sure if there were any blocks you can walk through and put pressure plates on

[@DJ-LD]

12:02 time to point out how Banjo and Kazooie use the same animation and even effects from the day break when using the egg shooting variant. The part where banjo holds Kazooie out and stuff. (Effects being the complete stop of momentum similar to the ice climbers, but only when you turn around holding the weapon. It's really noticeable when sliding on ice.)

[@Hikaru1468]

[@CosmicMcRad]

[@Mechanicalamity]

Space Pirate Rush always reminded me of the Subspace cutscene before his fight, so it’s cool to see that the whole thing is there in a way

[@justanormaltree8951]

[@Shabowdiadlo]

Ridley mains are eating good with this information (Can confirm as a Ridley main)

[@Legowest77]

Yo! That pressure plate thing sounds like a hitbox assignment feature. I bet it works in a way where every body part of a character is given a tag that is also shared by other characters. I bet they use it when assigning hitboxes. I bet dark samus is a special case where her foot tag is not in a posistion where it can touch the pressure plate, so they assigned it the default y axis of her model. And for ROB, I believe where his wire connects to his base extends a bit lower than his base so due to that I believe the pressure plate was coded to get the lowest point of that foot tag and trigger on that point touching it, with a bit of padding.

[@okamitheplantmain3477]

13:20 I was jumpscared by Robin's "mircosword"

[@guywithatie4447]

I think that the rob pressure plate discrepancy might have something to do with the fact he slightly "hovers" in all spots above the ground except for the back rear wheels (you can see his gap between the floor especially on mega smash where the gap is bigger than the pressure plate itself), and i do see that rob has wheels in the front that dont press it down but perhaps thats similar to dk's fists where they slightly miss it and dont count or something

[@stanzacosmi]

Seems like with the pressure plate, it's where the "foot" bones are, with the specific exception of perpetually floating characters like mewtwo and dark spamus. and ROB's foot bones are probably where the what i'm going to call back wheels (idk what it is) are.

[@cobravenom1316]

[@MrFlame-zk5cy]

The reason the tnt doesnt change with steves size is probably because its on the grid along with all his other blocks they had to remake litterally every smash stage with a grid for Steve's blocks so i bet they judt decided that size change because itd require 2 more large and small grids for all his moves to adjust

[@yt_MLM3]

[@plusah1268]

i feel the pain of having lost your hard drive to some unforseen circumstances. I lost so much personal work throughout my life. Lost so much pixel art I made, some music I tried making. Thankfully, I still have all my old youtube videos I made as a kid that I deleted from utube out of embarrassment lol. anywho, steve has so much intricacies man its beautiful. you could make multi part 30 minute videos on niche steve interactions and tech. for example if steve throws a gyro at a block some insane shit happens, and the gyro stays the same direction steve threw it in even if it bounced off the wall of a block, which sets up for nasty, nasty trick shit kill confirms

[@aleclewis4894]

For the double jump while using an item, I noticed that in addition to the sounds not being played, the circle effects (like the character is jumping off of a temporary, invisible platform) are also missing, but with the Daybreak, they are also present alongside the double jump sound effects.

Pichu has a secret animation when using the rocket belt where she/he will put on arm up one down in a hero pose

[@sapphirestorm9964]

Hey! Why did no one inform me a video was made from my tweet? Glad to see this got covered though so thanks @PKBeats You can call it the Juicy Lucy to refer to it if you want to, I don't think there will be an actual official name for it because it's so niche and I'm not good with names, I just keep referring to it as his Special 3rd Throw. Definitely just waffling here for the next part because I love talking about the Ridley Steve MU With all the tools Ridley has and the side b interaction with blocks Steve is honestly my number 1 favourite match up to fight. There will probably be some nay sayers but with the tools and kit Ridley has you'd be surprised at how well he does to shut down a lot of Steve's stuff, blocks indirectly buffing him and also being destroyed easilly and safely, nair making minecart non existent and Steve can't hit ledgehang with lava. There is also the situations where if the Steve tries placing blocks offstage and near ledge to stop a recovery with side b or so he can stand out there and use a move there are times where this will lead to the Steve getting wall slammed against the stage wall itself and can send them at a nasty angle killing them, it also looks extremely janky animation wise. Now this isn't saying he wins, if anything it just feels really even, there's nothing Steve does that can be considered janky or cheesy on Ridley that a lot of the cast can do to Ridley and way worse. Just comes down to being outplayed in this mu. My favourite use of the Side b is when Steve is making a wall to mine by the edge of the stage, Steve's unaware of this will do their standard strategy of hold shield and punish if someone tries to jump over the wall. What I do is jump over and use the multi jumps to hover over to ledge and then proceed to side b them into their own wall, since they've made the same condition that was shown in the video. High level Steve's I know and play against Like MazeBeans and Susu will try to call out the side b or try and dodge the side b so it adds more mind games in that scenario. Still can't believe I didn't see this video until now.

[@graidyswinimer1023]

As a ridley main I would like to clarify that space pirate rush does not kill that early unless you don't DI. If you DI up and in you can survive for another 20 to 30 percent. Typically, space pirate rush won't kill the normal way until 140. I don't know the percentage about the wall slam but consider it to be 20 to 30 percent higher then said in this video. I will lab it and edit this comment when I know the percentage window for the wall version

[@ericpeterson6520]

Is the warp pipe pot for Piranha Plant wider at the base than the default pot? Maybe that's why it sets off the pressure plate "early"

[@lilymatthosinhos2086]

but when the world needed him most he- HOLY SHIT HE RETURNED. THE RETURN OF THE KING

[@ZenoPlanet]

im guessing that the steve pressure plate thing with rob is that parts of characters' mesh is assigned as feet, and when those make contact with the plate it triggers it, i think they also have a check in the code that activates the plate when the center of your character is over the plate while grounded it seems like only the back half of the model seems to be assigned to be as "foot" it might also make sense as to why he dosent trigger it when in mega smash with a mushroom, the assigned area might be too high, as there is a slight gap between rob and the ground

[@akindofchaos5384]

My guess on the rob thing is it has the spine as thats where his force is mostly going down, and then the back end is some sort of battery pack so the devs gave weight too?

[@TdwtK]

When the world needed him most...

[@Pyraticalpunk]

7:50 i think it's because ROB is slightly elevated by his wheels, which act as his 'feet and actually touch the plate. When approaching from front he just hovers over the plate. But when you taunt, his back wheel rolls over and triggers the plate

[@cajozack]

Day and night? You mean ecli-oh he pointed it out as a cheeky segway. Nice pics

[@katt3974]

I can only assume hurtbox is what triggers the pressure plate, and that maybe there's a slim gap of hurtbox below rob aside from the back, where the thicker motor(?) is

[@dattromboneguy]

For the TnT pressure plate activation, I'm super curious about K Rool... when he stands, his feet are under him (obv) but when you down taunt, he slams his foot down WAY infront of him. I wonder if his down taunt would activate the pressure plate just like ROB?

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

ROB kinda appears to have the two "nubs" in front and a larger "square" in back with most of his base being elevated. This would be what's interacting with the pressure plate, and that giant ROB's gap between, shall we say, "toes" and "heel" is large enough that yes it passes around the pressure plate in the z-axis, failing to trigger it.

[@AsherCaldwell]

You mean to tell me Rob had just been scooting around on his buttcheeks this whole time? Nasty.

[@meme_man8289]

[@dubbz]

Me when PKBeats upload: :)

[@James-cb4cr]

More than likely it relys on the hotbox on the back half of the foot

[@sushiplus7058]

I wonder if the weird pressure plate interractions also happen with the pitfall seed

[@LillithLilligant]

I think he reason R.O.B. doesn't trigger the pressure plate when approaching forwards a bit is due to R.O.B. hovering slightly except on the back. R.O.B. has a little protrusion on the back of it's model that raises the entire "foot" up off the ground. So it doesn't trigger until that protrusion touches the pressure plate. It's like high heels except it's only the heel so the rest of the "foot" doesn't properly land on the pressure plate.

[@TUCB-YT]

With the pressure plate rob one, the rob amiibo is slightly lifted off the amiibo base, even though the mario series princesses take up the base, so maybe rob is floating

[@ry-x]

probably one of the few people that knew about the ridley tech beforehand lol have a friend who played ridley and i died super early on a custom stage

[@FlashBombTheGepgun]

perhaps the pressure plate thing has more to do with a character's ECB or collision box, rather than anything else. it really just makes the most sense, i'm sure there's visualizations modders have put out there or something

[@juliangiess1441]

Try to activate the pressure plate with zss/snake while crouching backwards, that would be interesting as well.

[@Springsman]

I actually already knew the Ridley fact well before seeing this vid

[@WIImotionmasher]

Is there an item other than the Daybreak, that puts you in a "holding item" stance, without holding the A button? Maybe the logic for the sound effect cancelling, is relying on the A button.

[@Frost_Anton]

I've been doing that Side B wall with ridley for years now. I'm surprised this is being talked about now.

[@AndyWarhols_Eyebrow]

You can use that Ridley tech in doubles if your teammate is Steve to kill the other team early

[@creeperx3sssboom347]

My guess with the pressure plate would be that it just detects either when a part of the character model or the character's center goes over the plate With Rob, it technically "Floats" over the pressure plate, and so the model technically doesn't touch it

[@Benji_Jokjo]

0:25 greatest transition in history

[@shinyrayquaza9]

I wonder if the model itself has to hit the plate, hence why the box on the back of rob triggers it better

[@Kirbman]

I think the pressure plate might be set off by the character's bounding box. That thing is contantly changing size.

[@Sharutia]

Robin sword acting differently is probably because its technically a seperate item since it can be thrown and picked up

[@TheRealBatabii]

3:00 I love how you make fun of competitive techniques having stupid names. (Like "tech")

[@Countdownsmiles]

How is "tech" stupid?

[@TheRealBatabii]

@@Countdownsmiles It's a term from another game that has nothing to do with smash. And it's confusing when there's plenty of other "techs" in the game.

[@Countdownsmiles]

@@TheRealBatabii It's a term from every other game. you'd have a hard time finding a game that doesn't use the word tech in it's competitive scenes, it's universally understood, despite having multiple uses.

Other characters I would've liked to see tested for the Steve pressure plate thing are Rosalina and Bowser Jr. (they float) and Duck Hunt (are the forefeet and the hindfeet treated differently?)

[@crystalkirby]

Regarding Steve's TNT pressure plate and people's tootsies (That's their feet and not butt, right...?), what about Wii Fit Trainer's crawl animation? They're doing a press up, and you can hope while doing it, so given it's their hands and not their feet would the same thing happen?
