Unironically, the whole "being turned into a projectile after being thrown" thing would have been cool to keep around in later games. How practical it would be is anyone's guess, but still.

[@tkri]

It would be extremely practical against Ice Climbers and Rosalina. K Rool's Blunderbuss has this property, in which fighters that get shot out have a hitbox. It's very useful for the ICs and Rosa matchup because shooting out a climber/Rosa is very effective at keeping the other climber/Luma away It also has dummy knockback levels. Source: I main ICs and this is very annoying to get hit with.

The name dates back to a smashboards post where one dude says something like “I am officially naming this cloud Randall” and everyone just went ‘okay’ and it just stuck.

[@maxlimit9129]

the best part is the origin, some dude on Smashboards literally just decided to call him Randall one day and everyone ran with it

[@Acryte]

You can also do a 0-degree wavedash by positioning yourself on the slant and holding straight sideways when you perform your wavedash toward center stage. This goes farther than a "perfect wd".

[@itzmasterz]

This is actually what Ganon players do on stage when double jumping and wave landing to get max range wavedashes.

[@bidoofus7921]

@@itzmasterz are you saying ganon players can use this concept as a consistent setup for max-distance wavelands on any stage? Like, something about his double jump just makes it to where a straight-sideways dodge input after double jumping just sets up nicely for those super long wavelands?

[@itzmasterz]

@@bidoofus7921 Ganon does a front flip when double jumping forward. His body is shorter than when he’s standing. So if you wave land after double jumping, the air dodge uncurls his body and it’s as if you did a perfect wave dash. (If that makes sense, i really want pictures to help explain it)

The explanation for the throw into stage on Randall makes a lot of sense, especially considering their similarity to two understood glitches involving Mewtwo's side b grab (pull thru battlefield and Soul Breaker) being caused by the opponent's collision box being frozen and sequence breaking respectively. Since it can be reasonably seen as a combination of these two separately understood glitching techniques, it is reasonable to assume that they may work together in this scenario to cause the glitch

[@Bonkersiznuts]

He shows a recreation of the moment in ECB mode. The two rectangles inside the big blue box (the red and blue one that are side by side) are what dictates whether you grab ledge or not. If the red one in this case comes in contact with the ledge he will grab it unless the blue one comes into contact with it too. If you watch the clip again in ECB mode you will see that Marth can actually grab ledge pretty far above his head. So he definitely wasnt too low to grab ledge.
