The '''yo-yo glitch''' refers to a glitch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' done using {{SSBM|Ness}}'s {{mvsub|Ness|SSBM|Up smash|alt=yo-yo}}. It can be used to attack or grab with near limitless range or attach certain single-[[hitbox]] attacks to Ness's body. The discovery of the glitch was a collaborative effort between {{Sm|VilNess}}, {{Sm|LonelyNess}}, and {{Sm|Dan Smith}}, and was spurred on by an innocuous video of an unknown Japanese player accidentally dropping a yo-yo hitbox.

Ness's [[up smash]] consists of 3 states each with its own hitbox: outreaching, spinning, and swinging. The yo-yo glitch drops the last [[hitbox]] of the up smash onto the ground and leaves it there until Ness gets [[KO]]'d or uses a non-[[projectile]] attack. Opponents can get hit by a dropped yo-yo hitbox or a jacket exactly once. Additionally, if an opponent does get hit by either, then the very next set of non-projectile hitboxes Ness uses also cannot hit that opponent (first hit of a multi-hit attack, such as forward aerial, will whiff that opponent, but the following hits can still connect).

==How To Perform==
==How to perform==
Ness's up smash must first hit any opponent or damageable object while in its outreaching or spinning state. The outreaching state is typically used to hit, as its hitbox is stronger than the one in spinning state, and can knock the victim out of the way. If only outreaching state hits, then Ness has to charge his up smash for 6-11 frames after the hit. If the up smash is unstale, that equates to attack button being released between 24th to 29th frame of the up smash (including hitlag frames). If spinning state hits, the up smash has to be charged for 7-12 frames. The yo-yo can't hit anything after it is released into its swinging state.
