The Shadow Glitch is a glitch exclusive to version 1.0 of Super Smash Bros Melee. It was discovered by INF8, Veg, and Simna ibn Sind; it allows the Shadow Balls in Mewtwo's forward throw to be caught as items. This requires three characters: one Mewtwo, one character to catch the shadowball, and one other character to be thrown.

Instructions

  • Have Mewtwo grab and forward throw another player (this works well with Bowser).
  • Have the third character jump and air dodge into the resulting stream of Shadow Balls and press the Z button to catch one. This will not make the normal item-catching sound effect, so you must look at the character's hands afterward to determine if the attempt was successful.

Effects

  • If the Shadow Ball is thrown, it will freeze the game unless it is quickly recaught.
  • When thrown, the Shadow Ball will fly in a diagonal fashion as if it was still part of Mewtwo's forward throw.
