| | ==How to perform== |
| The '''Whispy blink glitch''' is a glitch in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', first discovered by Magnus420 on [[SmashBoards]].
| | The player must choose {{SSBM|Marth}} or {{SSBM|Roy}} in a Vs. match and choose Dreamland (64) as the stage. Then, on the last 2 frames of Whispy blinking, the player must execute a jab, Forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, dash attack, or standing grab. |
| | |
| The glitch only works on version 1.0.

| ==How to perform==
| | The hitbox for thase attacks (sans standing grab) will disappear until the move finishes. |
| As {{SSBM|Marth}} or {{SSBM|Roy}} on {{SSB|Dream Land}}, the player must wait for Whispy Woods to blink twice. Right before Whispy's eyes are closed for the first blink, they must execute a [[jab]], [[forward tilt]], [[up tilt]], [[down tilt]], [[dash attack]], or standing [[grab]].

| If done correctly, Marth or Roy will swing their sword in an unusual way. The attack will last as long as it normally would and the corresponding hitbox will still be attached to their arms and swords for a brief moment (except for the standing grab's hitbox which acts independent of Marth's or Roy's arm movement).
| | As for the standing grab, Marth/Roy does the grab without lunging forward, making it safer than a normal grab. |

| An old explanation provided by Evsen on reddit on September 2016 stated that when he was using Dolphin emulator's texture dumping feature and claimed that Marth's face was dumped on Whispy Woods. He assumed that Marth and Roy's blinking animation is tied to Whispy's, and the animation glitches because the game may have been trying to use both blinking textures at the same time. Though accepted for years, AsumSaus debunked it in 2020, who analyzed Evsen's footage and could not recreate the finding, making AsumSaus believe that Evsen might have misremembered exactly what happened.
| | No one knows why the hitbox dissappears when Whispy blinks. |
