How to BREAK Smash Ultimate -- Random Smash Ultimate Facts

Wanna find out how you can (reasonably) destroy any match you're playing? Or would you rather learn extremely niche trivia about things you would have never thought to think about?
All that and more in your favorite series, Random Smash Ultimate Facts! Wowee!
I’ve finally settled into Premiere Pro, so I’ve moved on to learning SFM to be able to make thumbnails for my TF2 channel. I dunno how much time I’m gonna spend on that side gig, depends on how big it gets, but I play TF2 a lot and have a ton of clips, so I’d say it’s only reasonable to dump some time into making montage or commentary vids and whatnot.
Link to the TF2 channel: / @pkbeatstf2
But yeah, I’m keeping motivated, and I hope y’all are too! We’re (usually) the only ones responsible for whether or not we get things done, so I hope you’re keeping yourself active enough to be proud. Or not, I’m not one to judge.

A nice fact about the switch menus: the clicking sound when you tap on an empty space on the screen will be lighter and quicker if you use your pinky, but if you press your whole thumb or more onto a spot, it’ll be a deep and booming sound

[@Memerath]

When you say “empty space,” you mean the spaces that are there if you less than 12 games in stock?

I think Y.Link's pants look green because of that color optical illusion where adjacent colors can change what the perceived color is.

[@tato8371]

Theory: The cutscenes are off screen and when you activate the final smash, it teleports the screen to the cutscene. When you go one frame, it pauses the screen also. And the teleport back to the main stage is maybe on a different frame, so it pauses it or something. Maybe it skips that frame or something. Also maybe each final smash goes a different distance upwards which you could test with the luigi ladder and time it. Thanks😊

[@TheLobsterCopter5000]

Fact: Lucina's shield break jump goes slightly higher than Marth's, making it take her 3 frames longer to land on stationary level ground. Ken's is marginally lower than Ryu's, but this only makes it take 1 frame longer. No other echoes appear to have this quirk, or if they do it's too minor to be noticeable.

Doc actually uses Smash 4's equipment multipliers for his attributes. In that game said multipliers were permanently applied to him in addition to whatever equipment he had on (though the "inherent equipment" is applied first), but in Ultimate the same system was carried over with no changes other than the actual values.

[@bucketfullabiscuits7865]

I remember hearing that doc’s stats match mario when given 10 attack and -30 speed in smash 4 equipment or something

[@Nin10Doug]

[@johnlarrivee3487]

Hey pk beats. I made a stage that takes away snakes second mid air jump, even though he is standing on the ground and uses grounded attacks, and theres no ceiling hes could be hitting his head on. I have no idea why it happens. The stage ID is 3fw6rrpr. To activate the glitch you need to be snake, burn his second jump and up b, then enter the cannon. Once it shoots you down tech the stage. You will be exactly like your on the ground, except that when you jump it does the double jump animation, and he cant use his up b either.

[@gapphire3365]

I have a reason for the Dr Mario one, the person that made it was a massive Dr Mario fan and decided that everyone should know his *exact* frame data, not some rounding

[@Liggliluff]

Even though this would be a fun reason, it's very likely not the case. I doubt the developers would even insert such exact values normally, specially considering how often they use round numbers for many other things. It's likely just someone who did a multiplication of Mario's numbers, and got numbers with more decimals.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

Sora's also applies, but while Pyra, Mythra and Kazuya also have cutscenes, their Final Smashes eventually cut back to the stage so they most likely won't work. Conversely some non-DLC characters are also able to trigger the glitch such as Incineroar, Mega Man, King K. Rool, the Star Fox characters or Captain Falcon.

[@Liggliluff]

(0:45) As someone who has played both Call of Duty on console where left stick is run, and right stick is stab; as well as Halo, where left stick is crouch and right stick is zoom. It's kinda funny when you say you forget that you can press the sticks too.

Awesome video :) From what I've heard, Dr. Mario's weird stats come from Smash 4 where his stats were the same as Mario's but with some permanent custom equipment (that was a thing) giving him more power but less speed. That means we could get regular Mario with Dr. Mario's stats if we gave him the right pieces of equipment!

[@kumadohmathsforsuccessfan]

If you use fox's fs and then use a non-cinematic fs (i only used pacman so idk who else this works with) the stage reappears in the camera but slightly to the left and in a fixed position

[@pinoydreadlockz]

I found a weird thing! With isabelle if you use fishing rod on 1/4 in training and move the bait around it moves weird and oddly! Also the fishing rod goes farther than usually with the 1/4 speed you could catch the player from the other side of the platform from the other platform on battlefield

[@ConstantlyParanoid]

Did you know: if you go to special smash set the weight to light, set the size to mini, set the speed to fast, and choose k. Rool you can use up air over and over gaining height each time?

[@TheLobsterCopter5000]

The Young Link issue works against Mario too btw, but less consistently. I noticed it a while back when I was messing around in Training mode, and it seems to always be the 11th hit for some reason. What's weird is that the hitboxes appear to be the same for that hit as the others, so it's kinda a mystery why it happens.

[@kestrel7493]

I think that glitch works becuase of how cutscene final smashes work. Notice when you hit someone with a final smash, the characters fly up with the camera then the cutscene ays. What this glitch does is stop the camera going back to normal because of where the camera last was, hence why progressing multiple frame wont work

The broken background after the camera glitch is caused by the game not clearing the framebuffer between frames. The glowyness is caused by post processing running the bloom in unbounded feedback, like with mic feedback noise.

[@adlinbro]

Nice new plate👍

[@mkm2171]

I found out that if you go to edit in custom stage,(downloaded or original) then select change fighter right when you die,(doesn't matter if you actually change the fighter or not) then the damage won't be shown until you die, stop playing or change fighter again. This works for the CPU with the same rules, but the timing might be a bit more tricky.

When the camera is tilted do projectiles still follow parallel to the stage or does it still calculate the models as if they were standing flat with that olimar glitch?

[@vossboss220]

Here's two facts for some pretty funny cheesy stock steals. During late to cutscene final smashes like great aether, if you are able to damage the targeting hit at all after the last hit, with the combination of the high, untechable knockback, the game will consider it your stock that you took same with the galaga item. If you damage someone who is abducted by the ship before they star KO it will count as your kill. I haven't tested if the beetle works the same way. It's easiest to do this with PK thunder because you aren't at risk of getting caught in the final smash

[@KrispyKorpse]
