Dair Glitch?

[CaptainHaus]

So a while back I saw this video, where Roy dairs Captain Falcon during his regular getup from the ledge. However, instead of getting launched, he instead gets stuck in place for a few seconds, seemingly stuck in hitstun. I've tried several times, but I've never been able to recreate the effect. Has anybody else seen something like this?

Yep, that's definitely a glitch, and a cool one at that. It reminds me of a Final Smash such as Link's or Ike's where you wait for the finishing blow for about a second or two. I doubt this could be utilized practically, and even if it could be, I'm sure it will be patched anyway (obviously).

It was likely caused by the get-up animation being interrupted. The game might of counted him as in the air, while he was actually right on the ground, like how Roy's Jump from ledge instant counter.
