Fun fact, melee nerds call the nameless in-game unit "Melee-meters" or Mm, and 1 Mm is equivalent to 0.1 meters (1 decimeter) as displayed in home run contest. So a phantom hit is an overlap of less than 1 millimeter.

If you wanna be pedantic, it's already called Smooth Landing. But in the same way that it's not Shine, but Reflector. It's not Tilt Attacks, but Strong Attacks. And for another example in the video, is not Phantom Hit, but Glancing Blow. And so on and so forth. Nintendo just uses its own terminology that doesn't necessarily align with the community's, which makes reading for Ultimate's patch notes a bit confusing. What we call "Hitlag" (or Freeze Frames, the small period of time where you hit an opponent and the animation gets stuck to sell the impact, most notably on strong or electric moves) they call "Hitstun" (what we normally call, y'know, when you've been sent flying from a hit and you can't act)

I remember finding a strat on the Japanese language home run context with peach way back in the day that let you get multiple consecutive phantom hits with her down smash, racking up a shit ton of damage without ever sending the bag flying. For years before I learned how to bat drop, it was my highest score in the game.

The effects part is the weirdest. Also it seems like elements don't seem to register in a phantom hit either since jigglypuff's rest usually sets opponents on fire. The fact that it does a small freeze on the player getting hit is kind of weird too. There are many things about a phantom hit in melee compared to future games' glancing blows that show it as being unintentional, but we can never be 100% sure, at least not me.

@@MakoShiruba the fact that it applies half damage just makes it seem like even less of a glitch imo. At most that property could’ve been some debug code that they forgot to remove from when they were testing phantom hits’ functionality. The rest of the mechanic definitely seems 100% intentional though considering it’s returned in every subsequent game (and with an official name as well), minus the half damage property. Its behavior is way too specific and consistent for it to be a glitch that they thought would be a cool random thing to carry over to the next game.

On the topic of things that people think are glitches but aren't: starting in Brawl certain up specials were introduced which are programmed so they can only be used once in the air, but don't cause freefall (fallspecial). These can be refreshed by landing, or by being hit by an attack that causes hitstun. This leads to an interesting interaction when players are grabbed at the edge, such that their feet don't touch the ground, and they are air released without being pummelled. Because they never landed, and were never hit by an attack that causes hitstun, the game doesn't give them their up special back. This has been interpreted by some as a glitch, and even SmashWiki calls it a glitch ("Grab release glitch"), but in reality this is simply how those up specials are programmed to work. They don't get refreshed by the user being grabbed.
@esthersmith3056
@esthersmith3056 2 жыл бұрын
eh, not really, but this is complicated. literally everything in any game operates "how it was programmed to work", they dont have a mind of their own. when we describe something as a glitch, we're really making an assumption about intent, we're saying "the code unintentionally describes behaviours which the developer would consider 'wrong' in some abstract way". the question here is, if you asked the developer what the behaviour should be when a character is air-released unpummelled, what answer do we think they would give -- how do you think they would want it to work, if the question were consciously brought to their attention? it intuitively seems pretty clear that it 'should' refresh here, which is why it's often called a glitch; and, we cant actually prove this without a developer weighing in (and it is often impossible to truly prove that anything is a glitch), but the categorization seems reasonable in this case.

@@esthersmith3056 Everything in the game is behaving as it should when this happens. These up specials are only designed to be replenished by landing or being hit. Neither of these things occurred, so the move is not replenished. At no point has a glitch occurred. Calling it "unintuitive" doesn't suddenly make it unintended. Diddy Kong's Side B kick preventing him from using any special moves until he lands, despite not putting him in freefall or preventing him from using aerials is unintuitive, but this is how he is intended to work. Grabs themselves are not intended to replenish special moves.
@TheLobsterCopter5000
@TheLobsterCopter5000 2 жыл бұрын
@@esthersmith3056 It's also worth noting that even if a specific interaction wasn't intentionally allowed to happen in a game, that doesn't make it a glitch, if all the mechanics involved in the interaction are behaving as intended. For example, in Melee, going from a grounded to an aerial state is intended to eliminate any lag the player might be in. Moving towards a ledge with momentum other than while sliding to a stop after walking or running is intended to cause players to go from a grounded to an aerial state. Landing with horizontal momentum is intended to transfer that momentum into the grounded state. However, edge cancelling was almost certainly NOT an intended interaction by the developers. They most likely never intended for players to be able to cancel landing lag by landing right next to a ledge and sliding off it, as evidenced by their quiet addition of extra rules that determine whether a character will slide off a ledge or not in later games. Does this make edge cancelling a glitch? Most Melee players would say it doesn't, because every mechanic that results in such interactions is behaving as intended, even if the overall outcome isn't intended.

@@TheLobsterCopter5000 do you actually have any reason to believe that "everything in the game is behaving as it should"? because it sounds like youre just making the circular argument that because it was coded that way, it must have been intended (and by this standard, there is literally no such thing as a glitch, because i re-iterate, literally all behaviour in all games works according to how it was coded). ofc unintuitive behaviour can be intended, but it's nonetheless one of many factors we use when determining developer intent. the only reason we're able to call even the most blatant examples of glitches (e.g., arbitrary code execution in pokemon blue) a "glitch" is because of our commonsense notion that no developer would ever want this for their game. the questions when looking at an unintuitive behaviour is "why might someone want this?" and "how easy would it be for someone to implement it this way by mistake?". i think that latter point is especially compelling here, the expected case for a grab is that someone is thrown, or mashes out of being pummelled, not an unpummelled release; i find it very easy to imagine that this latter case was overlooked. ledge-cancelling is a great example of where this gets complicated, sure, but i think we agree a little more than you think. to me, the fact that the outcome is unintended doesnt change the fact that the component mechanics are intended. the difficulty here is that defining the "component mechanics" of a complex interaction can become subjective, but i think it's relatively clear in this case.

I always wondered why people didn't like Phantom Hits due to the explanation given before. I always though "well you missed, at least you got SOMETHING out of it, without Phantom Hits you'd just miss and do nothing" but hearing that it's actually just barely hitting that causes it, meaning without it, every attack would have the slightest extra range, makes me understand why people would rather it just hits normally. I mean, in the end if they didn't have it, I wonder if they would have just reduced the range on all the attacks by that slight amount, if that's even possible. Either way, great video, always interesting to see the little minor mechanics that fighting games have, especially hearing the reason why they might have been added in.

So i threw the beer away. I knew i had a problem so i addressed it. I know this sounds weird but, thank you AsumSaus. UPDATE: I'm gonna go to an AA meeting this Tuesday!

Phantom hits literally cost me a few games back when I was competitive. Not often, but as a Marth main it still happened quite a bit while spacing. This sounds unreasonable, but it was one of the top reasons I dropped Melee entirely, with the main reason being hand pain. I got tired of being punished for spacing too well sometimes lol. _Definitely_ V-Cancelled on accident more than once, and have seen others do it. Actually recognized the different knockback angle, but the guys in the crew always thought it was akin to the invisible ceiling glitch. Cool to know you can do it on purpose EDIT - guess I should've watched the whole video before commenting lol. That explanation for Phantoms is way more interesting than what I was told back in the day

@@Brawltendo so, you're playing a set as Marth against a Sheik on Battlefield. The person you're playing against is the best in your immediate region, but for once you're doing pretty good against them. You read that the sheik is going to drop through one of the side platforms that you've found yourself under, so you f-tilt to cover yourself so you can swing the situation back in your favor. Except, despite having the meaty tipper sfx and the visual cue, it's a phantom hit, and the sheik f-airs you in Marth's arm during the cool down of the tilt, costing you the match because of the awkward angle you get knocked into offstage. Sure, it phantomed because it was mis-spaced so the hitbox and hurtbox only barely touched, but in the heat of the moment the frustration is very real. As I mentioned in the reply above this one, this video lead me to realize that phantoms were my fault for missing some microspacing. But I don't have to now look back fondly on them lol

It's true that phantoms aren't giving you a freebie, but something to keep in mind is that nearly every single hurtbox in melee is significantly larger than the actual visual attack, meaning you typically "shouldn't" really have gotten the hit when it phantoms. So it sort of balances out

IDK what you were expecting so I'm just guessing here; but if a game is checking that two hitboxes are within 0.01 units of each other, instead of overlapping by 0.01, that's the essentially same thing. You've basically just created a larger hitbox. There's not really any other convenient way to program glancing blows as far as I know.

8:21 That small segment reminds me of what Blur once said. The camera zooming in and out can also affect the way spacie’s Up-B angles. If a spacie is trying to go to ledge but the camera keeps zooming in and out (due to the opponent’s distance and direction they’re facing) It could mess with their angles, and ultimately miss the ledge.

I once heard a commentator saying (I don't remember who was but it was someone known, like Toph or HMW) saying that V-cancelling was a mechanic added to make CPU Lv 9 live longer and be harder to kill. CPUs should be (in theory) the only ones to always get that 3 frames windows, or at least that's what the devs thought back then.

Same lol, I assumed the engine by default was tracking near-misses as part of how it tracked collisions, and the devs added phantom hits just as a fun way to take advantage of their quirky engine. Instead it's more like they went out of their way to add it? A 0.1 overlap and a tangent might as well be the same in this case for all practical purposes, but they say quite different things about the development process!

I think phantom hits are kind of okay, because if you imagine punching someone but your fist barely makes contact with the person it isn't going to hurt them as much as a proper punch. It's almost like the game is penalising the player for not making a proper contact move, and I think that's fine.

It is cool to see behind the scenes of these not as popular mechanics (except L-cancelling because it is popular). V-cancelling is especially cool since it can be meaningful, but it is very specific and very tough to purposely pull off. Plenty of nairs in the game come out the same frames you have to v-cancel so it is obviously more worth hitting a closer opponent than taking a strong move. That said, if it was a disjoint like a weapon and you need to take little knockback to survive or escape, this would be pretty neat to purposely pull off. I liked the clip with the marth down tilt since there is not too much you could do in that scenario anyways if you use your jump and are facing that move. This is a great video.
