One explanation provided by Evsen on reddit on September 2016 stated that when he was using Dolphin emulator's texture dumping feature. He claimed that Marth's face was dumped on Whispy Woods. He assumed that Marth and Roy's blinking animation is tied to Whispy's, explaining why attack animation messes up, because the game is trying to use their blinking textures at the same time. This theory was proven false after four years by AsumSaus, who asked Evsen for the footage. When he played it again, he could not recreate the blinking textures again. AsumSaus stated, "''...was most likely a mistake."'' With Evsen playing as Marth or choosing Marth as the second character, seeing Marth's blinking textures being dumped and later misremembering.''"
