Super Glitch Bros. Brawl

Well, that was fast.

Turns out, some have already found a pretty big glitch in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. While we'll say it involves a certain character (not the one pictured above) on a certain stage, we won't ruin anything else for you. Those looking to stay pure from all of the spoilers that are on the net for Super Smash Bros. Brawl might want to avoid the area past the break.

You've been warned.

That Jigglypuff's (Bigglypuff Heh heh) final smash slowed down in training mode!

I can't tell - does she become difficult/impossible to control, or did the player just not really try to do anything?

David Hinkle @ Feb 13th 2008 7:00PM

It looks like the player wasn't really doing anything other than trying to show off for the camera. At least, that's what I think.

You get 'puff's final smash after the Bridge of Eldin blows up, then when it warps back, you float above the bridge and use the FS, then Jigglypuff stays big, but attack power isn't increased only size, etc.

Mr Khan @ Feb 13th 2008 7:27PM

That's what it seems like, the physics of her growing into the bridge confuses the game, or something

Seems like it would be very specific, although this could be tested elsewhere.

You can do it on the Wind Waker stage, though It doesnt works well cause it is more cramped...it is hard to tell where small Jiggly puff is, Ive seen this in other games and its cool...but hard to move around.

cristian @ Feb 13th 2008 7:33PM

where is the glitch anyway?

vidGuy @ Feb 13th 2008 7:37PM

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Sora267 @ Feb 13th 2008 7:47PM

The real FS is her just getting bigger and bigger and bigger (pushing your foes off stage) then going back down to size.

In the video, the bridge comes back as she's doing the FS, which confuses the game, allowing you to stay as giant Jigglypuff and be able to play normally except...giant!

Anyways, the confusion of the game isn't an intended feature, it IS a bug.

David Hinkle @ Feb 13th 2008 8:07PM

Added your two comments together, Sora267. Just letting you know. :)

vidGuy @ Feb 13th 2008 8:49PM

@Sora267,

Here's the joke -----
Here's your head ---

Copy this into google to be bestowed knowledge: "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

reddevild @ Feb 14th 2008 12:12PM

spoken like a true programmer...
and remember, we never remove bugs, only features lol

Tom @ Feb 13th 2008 8:25PM

Thank God it's only JIGGLYPUFF. I was afraid it was a serious glithc, like snaking in Mario Kart DS (I don't care what you say, it's cheap and ruins the game for purists!) I figured this might be a potentially devastating glitch, but my fears have been put to rest.

Pikachelsea @ Feb 14th 2008 9:27AM

rofl... snaking a glitch.... wow. Denial much? Snaking is outlined in the INSTRUCTION BOOKLET OF THE GAME, and was fully intended by the game designers to be used by players with actual talent. Anyone can do it and it adds to the enjoyment of the game. Get over it.

gevenstaines @ Feb 14th 2008 1:11PM

lol at noobs who don't turbo boost, or "snake" if you want to call it that.

Perverted @ Feb 13th 2008 8:33PM

That's an awesome hat! *goes to try out the glitch*

Metayoshi @ Feb 13th 2008 8:33PM

I hate it when 10 percent of a video shows off a glitch, and then the rest shows off the person doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... As least beat up Luigi instead of just standing there doing taunts and attacking air...

Otherwise... Pretty funny glitch.

Patrick @ Feb 13th 2008 9:35PM

Your idiots, it's PURRIN'S FINAL SMASH

Ralph @ Feb 13th 2008 9:39PM

I'm really digging the 80's guitar version of Kirby's song.

Croove55 @ Feb 13th 2008 11:54PM

I've loved Jiggy's Final Smash since I first saw it. This.... is probably useless, but ridiculously great all the same. I love it.

Dark Lord @ Feb 14th 2008 12:24AM

OMG!!!!!!! first, they delay the release TWICE to supposedly make the game PERFECT so that it wouldn't have glitches!!! now, you're telling me that before the game came out they've already found one??? is anyone else feeling my blind rage? you can delay the game nintendo, but mess with my emotions? thats where i draw the line. -crys a little inside-
