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.]

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! (I main Lucario so feel free to disregard my opinion)

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.)

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

PKBeats kinda riffing in this video. Jokes were landing left and right

[@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.

[@brysonmcfaull1218]

[@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.

[@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

I love how much your sense of humor has shown in more recent videos haha keep it up!

[@boogsss2]

They put all this work into steve just to NOT balance him

[@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

[@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

Fun fact I just learned: if you use sephiroth's f-air in the gap created by breaking the ground on green hill as the floor pops back in, you will hear an attack sound, you will hear a sephiroth damage sound, and get knocked out of the pit, but take zero damage

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.

@@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.

[@dumpylump]

I wonder if taunts where you lift off the ground would activate the pressure plate? For example Ganondorf's spinning taunt

[@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

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

[@neoclassicalsuccubus2899]

I think the logic behind the ROB thing is that Rob's "feet" is actually starting from the center of mass and forms a straight line to the back, like a triangle kinda deal. The reason the "front feet" doesn't count is because actually the whole thing is jets that aren't supposed to touch anything, so they'd "graze over". And even if we consider that "every part touches", then the battery pack in the back and the center point would STILL be the heaviest part, and ROB's weight actually tilts backwards relative to the center of gravity of the feet...

[@YourFriendRyan.]

Ridley is the enderdragon ofc he has a special attack for steve

[@Sharutia]

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

[@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

[@CharlesBrasel]

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

[@o_sagui6583]

7:30 The OG Rob famicon acessory had the battery door on the backside of the robot

[@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

[@James-cb4cr]

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

[@AsherCaldwell]

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

[@lilymatthosinhos2086]

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

[@flashbombthegepgun4198]

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

[@D_YellowMadness]

I call that part of R.O.B. his foot but I might start calling it his hoof.

[@zork6233]

I’ve played this game for so many hours and NEVER have I EVER knew about this animation, wtf

[@krsvi713]

8:48 Dark Samus sets off the plate at the center of mass because it flies by exerting force directly below it, causing it to hover off the ground. 6:18 I guess rob just has a lot of weight where his cord connects to his base? the only thing i can thing of is that it's really hard for a hovercraft to set off land mines, but a hovercraft's weight is distributed evenly... strange...

[@volute381]

[@jraymark7739]

So..... in doubles Ridley and Steve have a new thing??

[@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.

[@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?

[@Krona-fb4dn]

3:17 Ridley main here, this isn't accurate/practical as Ridley's Side B is very easy to DI up and most opponents live up until 130-140% Also, Ridley's Space Pirate Rush is just not really a good move, even for a command grab. Compared to other command grabs. It comes out at frame 22 and again, there are *much* more powerful command grabs. Bowser's starts at frame 6, Incineroar's starts at 16 and both can kill considerably earlier. Bowser can use platforms and it kills off the top, and incineroar's correct timing one just kills way earlier, not including revenge and incin's lasts longer. Ridley's command grab if it whiffs has a hefty 44 frames of lag. Bowser has slightly more, but his comes out way faster. ALSO, unlike the vast majority of command grabs, you can actually mash out of Ridley's and deny him of a fairly hard to land move and damage, and it becomes easier to mash if the percent difference between ridley and the opponent are high.

[@deathpie24]

If you do mash out, both can pretty much react around the same time

[@Krona-fb4dn]

@@deathpie24 it’s character/move dependent since you both come out at the same time with no frame advantage for either.

[@deathpie24]

@Krona-fb4dn ridley jab is pretty fast if you don't expect to mash out quick enough Usually a shield is enough for most who don't have faster options

[@Krona-fb4dn]

@@deathpie24 This is indeed true since he has a frame 4 jab, and you can just shield if you are cautious, however I think I just catch most people out of that situation due to inexperience with ridley. Although that's not hugely relevant IMO and I don't disagree with you.

[@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
