WTF Moments in Smash Ultimate #21

[@elijaharroyo4846]

Robin’s down smash hits front and back, just a food for thought.

[@Creepo_J]

Characters with ass hitboxes are pretty good

[@JohnLover1179]

But Snake's ass got nerfed

[@Epic_Wynn]

First one is only suprising for people that do not play Robin. Down Smash with the Levin sword electrocutes the ground, creating a small hitbox behind and a larger hitbox in front of Robin.

[@YounesLayachi]

As someone who never played reflet, I think it's only surprising to people who never **watched** lol. It's a down smash, expected to hit on both sides

[@jairo_yeyi]

I was surprised that people didn't know that robin's d smash hits both sides.

[@Lucas-db2jq]

I never play Robin and even i knew that. You have to watch out for that stupid sword.

[@AUTTY6242]

@@YounesLayachi There are only a few exceptions for a D-smash to only hit one side..Robin's just looks like it should hit one side but can hit both. Trust me alot of us been hit by the back hit sometimes

[@freetox_2417]

4:19 his foot touched Dr.mario fsmash when he side tilted, this is why it touched him

[@UniversalName]

Yes but that is not the real issue; why didn't Sonic hit doctor mario if he was facing the other direction?

[@magni814]

What makes it worse (being a doc main I know this) is that the close you are to touching Mario's body the more launch power there is... and since his foot touched mario right in the center of the body sonic had no chance to live that

[@Creepo_J]

The hitbox on sonic f-tilt didn't come out yet Sonic lunges his feet fowards and his hurtbox got caught by doc's f-smash It is more stronger up close If Sonic's hitbox was active he would've hit doc or clanged with f smash, since it has priority Both of them clanged together but Doc's forward smash beats sonic f-tilt

I see everyone talking about the Dr. Mario's forward smash, robin's hitboxes and snakes up-tilt. But nobody is gonna talk how that ganondorf's back air transformed into sephiroth's back air for one second? 5:35 ?

[@ikkenhissatsu8564]

Yeah, i loved how his eyes slowly grew as he caight up with what happened.

[@Diamond_Aura]

If you pause right on it it looks so weird, even with “extended” hit boxes (referring to time, not distance), I don’t understand how this could happen. Most of these clips have an explanation even if it’s a stupid one, but this one just baffles me

[@dogyX3]

This is the range I've always wanted Ganondorf to have

[@rushledog]

@@Diamond_Aura same, even looking frame by frame i cant find an explication for that. Maybe the steve back-air Extended steves hurtoxes and he crafting table extended ganondorfs hitboxes? But steves back air happened before, so im not sure.

[@CruelSunSsb]

I think it's a glitch, a moment before the steve crafted the gold wespons and got hit before the animation ended, so I think there was some kind of hurtbox lingering in the craft table, like the melee yoyo glitch

[@commando5103]

0:20 thats not a wtf moment...Robin's down smash hitbox is extended once Levin sword hits the ground...

[@tacticaljunk1608]

People play and watch Robin so little that every one though that was his fsmash

[@Mene0]

Yeah perfectly normal. It sends like thunder on the ground behind her

[@lakerstr8killurteam]

Yeah I was going to say the exact same thing that hit box is just really weird it kind of works like donkey Kong's down smash

[@kevcube]

As a robin player yes lol I came to the comments to say this.

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

I figured that out the moment Robin got the zoom in attack before Inkling KO's.the levin sword emits a powerful shockwave thus damaging Inkling from behind. It's in the details.

The one with Samus stage spiking bowser happened because Samus's up B on the ground has an initial hit that quickly hits the opponent upwards so the move connects. Bowser got hit by that initial hit, but because he was below the stage, he got sent up and bounced off the corner of the ledge, therefore stage spiking him

First hit of crack shoot just does that if the second doesn’t connect.

I guess Nintendo did not fix all the cases it could happen. 1:00 DDD's F-Air is underwhelming and cannot hit above him despite the visuals saying otherwhise. 1:13 A stage spike due to the lingering hitboxes Young Link's bomb has. 1:40 Yeah, you can defeat Hero's Kazap by spotdodging despite the visual effects lasting for a while. 2:09 Is another stage spike from a lingering hitbox. This was stronger and therefore was able to KO bowser. 2:25 Snake's Up tilt being Snake's Up tilt. And it was worse in Brawl btw. 2:34 Little Mac being Little Mac. Also, Why is a 2D stage allowed in a tournament? 2:40 Little Mac, you ain't an air fighter; part 2. 2:55 Windboxes ruining lives once again. 3:15 ZSS is also smaller than it looks. It's also a multihit an as such it can whiff sometimes. 3:43 Recovering with a fire recovery against TNT wasn't a wise idea. Also stage spike. 4:19 Sonic's F-tilt causes hurtbox shifting and has slight negative disjointed during the first frame of the second hit. 4:32 I need a Ness Main to explain this. 4:55 Back-B was interrupted by a bomb. 5:13 Sephiroth's Up Air hit a blue Pikmin instead of Olimar. Olimar punished that with a late D-air. 5:36 Another bug involving Steve and it's table. What a surprise. 5:52 Basically a trade between Bowser's Down-B and Palutena's Nair. 6:13 That's what happens when you run into fireworks. 6:34 Take a drink every time a stage spike at the ledge happens. 6:49 King K. Rool's Up air has belly armor. Due to jostle the hidrant pushed Pacman during the freeze frames. 7:09 Windboxes ruining lives part two. 7:27 A wall tech followed by a directional air dodge into the magma blocks.
