The Whispy blink glitch is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. Melee, first discovered by Magnus420 on SmashBoards. Though the glitch does not exist in the PAL release of the game, it also does not occur in version 1.0 either.
How to perform
The player must choose Marth or Roy in a Versus Mode match or Training Mode and choose Dream Land as the stage, and wait until Whispy Wood blinks. On the last 2 frames of Whispy Wood blinking, the player must execute a jab, forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, dash attack, or standing grab. Marth or Roy will swing their sword in a unusual way, and the hitboxes for these attacks (sans standing grab) will disappear until the move finishes. As for the standing grab, Marth or Roy does the grab without lunging forward, making it safer than a normal grab, though this method is somewhat inconsistent.
