2:36 note that Wario can also die in stamina mode in his final smash by eating an explosive. If he dies in this way you can control him when he revives.
Here's something I feel like just putting out there, since I've never seen anybody talk about it My sister was a kirby main back when we played brawl when we were little, and as such we saw his final smash a lot. Enough to find out exactly how its hitbox works, and it's actually a little complex. Most straightforwardly, if you roll or spotdodge at the very moment he bangs his pans, the hitbox will pass and you'll be safe, it's only active for that one moment (though the timing can be tricky.) But the more interesting part comes with items. The range of his final smash actually changes depending on where items are currently sitting, and the hitbox will reach further if items are far away from him when he uses it. However, if you can make yourself further away than the furthest item from kirby, you can very consistently avoid the reach of it entirely! I'm pretty sure there's still a minimum range, but I don't remember how big the maximum would be, I know on stages like temple it can't grab from _all over_ the stage. All of this is coming from decade old memory, so some of it may not be 100% (especially the last bit) but I'd love to see this more thoroughly tested by someone!
Small correction for the Luigi Ladder, it does kill in Smash 4, but not in Ultimate I knew this because I’ve had distinct fond memories messing around in Luigi dittos online for fun and had many ladder duels
When I see this title, I remember the various taunt parties on Brawl Online where people would majority pick Temple, Bridge of Eldin, Pitchochat etc. and do a bunch of classic Brawl glitches there
@@zdelrod829 Super Metroid is actually considered one of the less broken games of its time with most of the the ridiculous glitches or jank you can encounter being stuff you have to go out of your way for. NES Metroid on the other hand, is a broken mess that's almost unplayable without abusing savestates or having tons of experience playing around all of its nonsense.
22:23 using my modding knowledge- the way momentum works in Brawl is that there are many different sources of “Kinetic Energy.” IIRC there are some for wind, water, gravity, motion (a character’s specific state animation), action (a character’s state that can have multiple animations), GROUND FRICTION, and a few more including some for final smashes (like landmaster). The reason for Ike’s sliding is likely due to one of these not being properly cleared upon having the SideB canceled by the ice and remains uncleared because of the lack of much friction. Counter used a command in the animation that set one of the kinetic energies to 0, but because the other wasn’t cleared he immediately starts sliding at the velocity he would have if not for the spring
7:08 Foxs reflector is very much intended, and it's both in Sm4sh and Ultimate. Foxs Shine still behaves much like a shield as it does in Melee, letting you roll, spotdodge and even jump cancel out of it. But to prevent Melee shenanigans, they made it so that you can only do it while reflecting. And yes, as long as you're reflecting something you CAN Multishine... somewhat. They also put this mechanic on multiple other reflectors in ultimate, at least the non-counter ones.
What a nostalgia hit this video was. I did a ton of these on my own Wii as a kid, especially hours spent messing with Jigglypuff on Bridge of Eldin. Fun fact, you can do that glitch on the Pirate Ship too.
When I did that at a convention once, people from other TVs looked over and started cheering "Glitch! Glitch! Glitch! Glitch!" until I got too big for the stage. It was awesome.
here's some supplemental info on these glitches you missed (this is a long comment): - 1:24 if you use toon link's final smash on giga bowser, he gets stuck in a t-pose as TL rockets off in the same fashion as these clips. must have a character code enabled - 2:07 hit the sandbag hard enough and you can eclipse the y axis of the back barrier and fly backwards, where eventually even the blue sky texture wrap runs out and it's just a black field - 4:16 i haven't been able to replicate this yet, but there is video evidence of interrupting breaking the bottom pillar on shadow moses island, likely on the same frame as its destruction, that allows you to then stand on top of the side of the stage - 7:15 if you jump and start your reflector on a specific frame before landing, upon landing the reflector sprite (and its animation) is duplicated. it's easiest to do this and see it with wolf, just after the apex of his jump is when to start it. depending on the frame, both sprites can either be in sync and tough to see the difference, or completely out of sync which is when it looks quite funky. ah, i see a variant of this was covered at 25:25 - you can just do it on your own by landing on a specific frame! - 7:50 this also happens with a lot of different character combinations on different grades of slope. you can do it against fox on the right side of temple on a more gradual slope - 16:28 if you foxtrot much faster than this, you'll continuously accelerate to some of the fastest non-knockback horizontal speeds attainable in this game (which i believe you've covered previously) - 18:48 this ledge's collision also allows for precise control stick angles to result in temporary "glitch-hugging" the wall while attempting to fall through the platform. must be holding toward the wall, forward speed required varies per character iirc. usually around the walking/running delineator, which is 70 or 186 on the x axis - 22:43 pikachu's up-b hitbox does this as well, when it visually looks like he's stretched into a thin noodle he actually is. you can even hit him through smashville from below, it extends that high thanks for making this! I definitely think it can be turned into a series :)
It wasnt mentioned, but one of my favorite things to do online was: If you dash towards a ledge but then tilt the stick slightly diagonally forward and downward, but not enough to crouch, your character will run infinitely at the ledge.
20:57 I did this all the time as a kid. When I found it out I was taken aback and would constantly use this trick when playing with my friends and cousins.
Btw, for Wario dies twice Glitch - if you put Stamina mode with 1 HP, without the plant on their head, go into final smash and eat an explosive as Wario, he will die. As soon as the Final Smash runs out though, he revives, but this time you can actually control him and beat others up. Though you cant win as him anymore, As soon as there is only one other player left it ends.
(11:30) Some trivia: "75 m" is pronounced "75 metres" because the m is the symbol for the unit and the symbol is pronounced in full. If it's "75 ft" you would similarly say "75 feet" and not "75 eff-tee".
To add on, Foxes shine on pictochat will keep duplicating until it uses up the particle limit, which will result im oddities like Chariziard with no tail fire or invisible projectiles.
Brawl glitches were some of the first things I engaged with on TH-cam, so this was a huge trip down memory lane. Brought back memories I forgot I had of me doing these glitches!
About the counter on Norfair lava: the frame data for the counter allows you to almost always get a powershield if you decide to hold shield instead. I was a fan of alternating between counter and powershielding.
Man I remember doing some of these with my buddy back in school, learned a lot of new ones too, thanks for this vid, happy holidays mister ternative🖤🖤🖤
tbh this hit me like a nostalgia train, going online mode and trying to do goofy ahh glitches was just about all I would do in brawl lmao anyone ever u-tilt with ganondorf on top of a rolling crate? funny times lol
Merry Christmas I actually got Brawl for my 2013 Christmas. It allowed me to realize why I was losing and I made major improvements that all the people who used to dog on me told me I improved a lot
honestly I didn't even know people hated the "Brawl is much more broken than you remember" intro. I didn't really pay much mind to it because I just found learning about new glitches and seeing old ones I knew interesting.
there are plenty of glitches with the latter 2; the most advanced thing i can think of for g&w not in this video in particular is that using bucket cancels all knockback/movement speed, so if you slide off after getting hit by a bomb in sudden death, you can live by using bucket
😅 Your content and editing is incredible and fulfilling to watch. I get excited when I see the notification for your videos. I'm really optimistic to see you produce videos full-time next year. Happy Brawlidays and a Broken New Year.
12:13 I remember finding this one as a kid and using it to fight CPUs. I thought it was the coolest thing. It's nice to see it again so many years later, I've been hoping for it to show up in one of these videos.
GOD I recognize SO many of these. I did not expect this video to be so nostalgic. Especially all the stuff with Kirby's final smash, I remember messing around with that stuff myself... I do wonder if some of these glitches carried over into Sm4sh though, cause the way I remember some of them is with Sm4sh's graphics... I think one of the other videos said they were built in the same engine, so it's not entirely out of the question.

Hang in there bud

13:44 This is actually a very subtle Sonic CD Reference. Very Cool Sakurai
Where melee was held together with duct tape and a dream, brawl was put together by a toddler with a glue stick
It's better-functioning than the duct tape used on Super Metroid for the SNES
Gamechamp3000 reference?

19:25 The funniest part is knowing this glitch isn't that far off from canon; Luigi really has worn Peach's dress, multiples times even.
There was a nintendo power comic and Super Star Saga IIRC

I remember Brawl as my first Christmas present, and now it’s ugliest spots are mine 15 years later
Mmmmm I think my memory of how broken brawl was is quite accurate indeed
Nevermind what is that blue falcon DOING?
Happy holidays and hope to see more of Brawl mad fun content
Merry Christmas Brawlternative!

you ever kick ball through brick wall?
Yooooooo what a present for us - thank you for helping make this year an AMAZING one for brawl content!!!

OH NO BRAWL IS MORE BROKEN THAN I REMEMBER!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS SKUNCH AND YALL!! Hope yall have a blast :>
Beautiful video! It reminds me when back in the day I used to search online for Brawl glitches and testing with my friends :)
The consistent uploads have given me so much joy, hope for a great 2025 Brawlternative! Keep up the great content!❤

Actually nice and well done glitch video :)
Amazing compilation of glitches, can’t wait to watch the video again with coney reacting to it

i was holding my breath hoping you'd remember the yoshi glitch with jigglypuff. hooooooly nostalgia. thank you for this, i needed it.
Merry Christmas coney viewers 🎉
Christmas is much more Cheerful than you remember! Thanks Skunch, love your vids.
wasnt planning on subbing but the simple I love you made me burst out laughing, ill sub to that
this was my first christmas without family, and this video was a nice present

Great analysis video! Thanks so much for this big compilation video! Thanks for uploading!
Looking forward to more like this from you!
