Tether Glitch

[lamegenie]

Hey guys. Has anyone narrowed down why the 'tethering to the ledge' glitch happens? ie. why sometimes you plummet to your doom if the 'ledge-grab' tether doesn't come out?

I think I have narrowed it to a couple scenerios:

- trying to tether too quickly from hit stun
- trying to 'bomb-tether' but pressing attack to quickly or too late after pressing shield

Any thoughts? Has anyone done any experimenting with this?

This should provide plenty of info to answer your question:

So yeah, you're right about the tethering too quickly from hitstun thing.
Also, what do you mean by "bomb tether"? Do you mean tethering with or without dropping the bomb? Situations in which you want to drop a held bomb while tethering is rare, and even rarer if you're just coming out of hitstun, so I don't really think it's worth the effort to learn the timing for the airdodge -> A input to drop a bomb out of hitstun, however little that may be.

So yeah, it's usually just better to input airdodge -> grab button if you want to tether, since that will eliminate a lot of accidental inputs and failures to tether to the ledge.

By the way, welcome to Smashboards! You should have probably posted in the stickied Q&A thread, but honestly, this sub-forum has so little traffic that I don't think it hurts to have a topic like this come up as a thread by itself.
Fox might move you anyway...

Fox is out on a road trip for about 3 days, so I'll be filling in for the usual quota of disappointment for some time~

As stated above, posts such as these should go in the Q/A thread or any specific metagame topic.
