9:00 this is actually an easter egg or callback to the newer mario games. in the wii and wii u versions of new super mario bros, if you’re playing multiplayer and one player has the star powerup, you can pick up another player and give it to them too, even if they never grabbed the powerup in the first place

[@matlotl]

The tether variation thing with the timer is probably due to a way the game categorises the tether based on general aesthetics, and as such have different physics in game to fit said aesthetic: - YLink, TLink, Simon, Richter, Joker, Byleth, Min Min - All have a more "chain-like" appearance, so have the same type of physics - Samus, DSamus, ZSSamus, Isabelle - All have a more "plasma-like" appearance, so again have the same type of physics As such, Lucas and Ivysaur probably have their tethers categorised as something like "vine-based" due to the snake and vine whip being of similar aesthetics, thus the different physics to the chain and plasma type tethers

Pkbeast, to test the link shield blocking simons cross use the shield item, it protects ur back so there may be a different outcome

[@harrym3673]

I have a few theories about the shield stuff: 1. The projectile direction value also explains why reflecting a returning cross doesn’t change the direction. It does, we just don’t notice it. 2. The explosions of PK flash/freeze probably have a directional value away from Ness/Lucas. This is why it depends where they are, not what direction they face.

[@acevasquez615]

Fun fact: last I checked, if Little Mac hits a final smash and is considered grounded on a moving box, his final smash hits, but it's cut short

[@emilianoargentero3598]

I believe that the tethers thing has to do with what is used to tether. For example, the game sees ivysaur and lucas’ tethers are an extension of their limbs, while the other characters tethers with a tool or a weapon which isn’t connected to their body, as for min min the game registers her arm as weapons when she uses them, so it’s understandable that she also got slowed down.

[@pascal8045]

The reason why Simon's cross hits through shields is the same why mega man's neutral special hits through it. The projectiles don't get destroyed if they hit something so they pass the invincibility hitbox and hit the normal hurtbox of the characters

[@Traumachu]

Love to see you! This makes my Wednesdays so much better

[@ViscousJelly]

There is one thing in common between Lucas and Ivysaur’s tethers: Both are separate living individuals from the main fighter targeted by the clock. Lucas’ snake is obvious but the Bulbasaur line’s bulb (and vines) are a symbiotic plant growing into the (Poison typed) Pokemon’s back. Slowing time only works on one when their lives are at stake.

[@caledrayvin9885]

Considering Ivysaur and Lucas are Brawl Cary-overs it's possible they have similar code references for their teathers while all the women are probably based on each other after the great 4 splits. While Simon/Richter are probably copy pasted from Link

you can infinite grab with pyra by up throwing and grabing at the right time. slightly moving foward and grabbing sort of helps.

[@Tolkinginger]

4:00 in actual mother 3 and its series the defense stat does nothing to pk moves that’s mostly why it does not block

[@benanator876]

maybe the reason ivy and lucas’ tethers are the only ones like that is a brawl quirk? they’re the only characters who didn’t come back immediately in sm4sh and didn’t have their tethers changed (zss’ up b used to be a tether) so maybe zss’ tether got updated in sm4sh where ivy and lucas shares some code from brawl? idk this is a complete guess with no real evidence it’s just the only thing i can think of as someone who occasionally codes

[@lordnul1708]

Correction: Lucas did actually come back in Smash 4... as a DLC. In fact he was the second DLC character, right after Mewtwo.

[@benanator876]

that’s why i said didn’t come back immediately. i meant immediately as in the base roster of smash4

[@The_DGO]

with the tethers, it appears as though chain tethers will slow momentum, energy tethers (plus Isabelle) seem to maintain momentum, and the more fleshy tethers, specifically Ivysaur and Lucas's tethers, it is unaffected by the slow down. Probably having to do with the different ways physics work on different types of tethers

[@Moss_Dude]

I think the unique thing with the heavy items not disappearing when removing cpus is because they have a unique way to be dropped. If you walk off a ledge while holding them your character will let go and enter tumble state, with the exception of donkey kong apparently. My theory is DK has this special attribute because he's actually doing his cargo. His animation for lifting the heavy items is exactly the same as his cargo animation in Smash 4, and in previous patches some characters idle animations would revert back to those of previous games when holding an item, which could be why it's not his new cargo animation. Aside from that his movement capabilities when carrying the items look identical to carrying a player.

Further evidence for the boomerang bit: if you reflect a boomerang like Simon's on its way back with say, Fox, it keeps going the same direction, while if it's going the way it was thrown, it's bounced back.

[@SuperCaleb283]

Ness and Lucas' neutral Bs always send the target in the direction the user was facing, not in the direction the attack hit the target (visible in these clips). Could that be related to why they don't abide by the same rules for passive shields?

[@EbinFlowe]

3:38 To test if Link would block the returning boomerang all you'd need to do is equip a bunny hood on Link and walk towards the boomerang as it comes back since the shield still protects Link during his walk.

[@darkychao]

the TNT thing reminds me of how bombs effect darknuts in Zelda 1, that being that the direction you place the bomb matters to whether or not their shield blocks the damage, not which direction the bomb hits them; probably not an intentional reference, though.

[@BlueBladeofFate]

The Link shield thing kinda reminds me of that one quirk in Zelda 1 where Darknuts get hurt by bombs if they're planted when you face a direction away from their shield.

[@Nenkos]

That unusual high five taunt looks cool af

[@plentyofpaper]

That thing about directional affecting passive shields... That's really interesting, but there's a much simpler mechanic that explains the boomerang. Normally, passive shields just delete projectiles. Forwad boomerangs, once deleted, just spawn a piercing returning boomerang (all in the same location as the projectile was deleted at, except for K. Rool, which will always spawn at the same distance away from him regardless of where the projectile was deleted.) All forward boomerangs self-delete after a set distance. Returning boomerangs are piercing, and can only be deleted by running out of distance, or by being caught by the character that threw them. They even go through solid walls. So, of course they go through passive shields. An interesting case study though would be how Link's shield interacts with Robin's Thoron and Byleth's full arrow, which at a glance appear to be a piercing projectile. I don't actually know how this plays out, but here's what I'm curious about observing. 1. Will Link's shield protect Link from Thoron. 2. Will Link's shield protect players behind Link from Thoron? 3. Will Thoron's visual effect extend beyond Link's shield? Also, testing the same properties against Palutena's dash attack would also be good to know. I'm pretty sure Link's shield blocks all of these things from happening. Which would imply Thoron works by essentially creating a hitbox in front of it repeatedly until it reaches max length, or the most recent hitbox is deleted, rather than being a truly piercing projectile. But interestingly, they would need to be deleted by a wall or a passive shield rather than a standard shield.

If you wanted to test, you could use the black hole to change the direction of projectiles and redirect then into link’s shield. I know that Megaman’s side smash will circle around the black hole, but the graphic will stay the same direction lol it was just traveling normally. I don’t know how this would affect the shield vs. projectile direction conundrum

[@furby9284]

Fact I found out: If you select Mythra as the first one to come out for classic mode, you’ll only get the Mythra spirit. I had to buy the Pyra spirit. I think this is interesting because if I recall correctly, Pokémon trainer gave all the spirits of the trainer and the Pokémon regardless. But that’s not the only weird thing with this DLC. Because I found out you can now fight Poppi Alpha. The spirit was previously only summonable. The same thing happened for both Ninjara and Ribbon Girl. The series spirits are also wonky because Rex is the only spirit to get an enhanced version later on through DLC. So it’s the only enhanced spirit that isn’t directly after its original. In addition, the Rex spirit battle now takes place on the new stage. I knew some characters in the spirit battles could change with DLC but not stages. But maybe Ramen Bowl was changed to the default stage for the ARMS fighters after it was released. I really have no idea. I’m a huge fan of spirits so all these things stick out and interest me.

[@___________1876]

To test out the boomerang cross, place make sure Link and Simon are facing in the same direction with Simon in front of link. Have Simon throw the boomerang cross thing and then move behind Link so the projectile doesn't get caught by Simon. If the projectile gets blocked, it debunks the theory since if to hit link, link's directional value and the value on the projectile needs to be opposite, that means that the projectile value changed when the boomerang went in the opposite direction. If it isn't blocked then that should mean that the initial directional value on the boomerang is the same after it reverses direction.

[@Matheus-gc5fn]

The first theory for the boomerang thing may still be true, if the shield has a hit box for blocking the projectiles the logic may still work, and the reason why it doesn't block from behind is because it doesn't hit the shield hotbox

[@minecraft15555]

Small thing, if I were coding Ness and Lucas' neutral B, since it has no collision until it detonates, I'd give it a direction value equal to a unit vector of its delta x (Distance travelled left or right in x) when it detonates, this could explain why his shield only blocks it from one side. Since their up B has actual collision and acts as a projectile (not a point explosion), it's easy to get the direction it was travelling when it hits the shield. But that's just my theory on it.

[@asshunnngami]

for the tether thingy i’m noticing a kind of pattern like the ones that don’t swing at all they have more physical properties like a chain the ones that swing is slow motion have a kinda energy property (not really isabelle though) and i guess ivysaur and lucas’s tether is like a vine??
