The '''Z-Axis Glitch''' was a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that was discovered in | The '''Z-Axis Glitch''' was a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that was discovered in version 3.0.0, allowing every character to face the Z-Axis by exploiting the behavior of springs. It is easiest to perform in [[Stage Builder]], but can also be done on [[Palutena's Temple]], or by the use of Sonic's [[Spring Jump]] or Mega Man's [[Rush Coil]]. It was originally patched out in version 4.0.0; however, a new method involving {{SSBU|Link}} was discovered in version 8.1.0. This method was later patched in 12.0.0. | ||
==How to perform== | ==How to perform== | ||
===Original method=== | |||
In order to perform this glitch, the player needs to attempt to perform a [[wall cling]] the instant they start moving downwards after bouncing off a spring. The easiest way to do this is by making a custom stage with a wall right next to a spring. By attempting to wall cling after bouncing on the spring, the character will instead face forward, with their hitboxes following suit. Using the character to [[grab]] any character within range will cause them to face forward as well. | In order to perform this glitch, the player needs to attempt to perform a [[wall cling]] the instant they start moving downwards after bouncing off a spring.

===8.1.0 method=== | |||
From version 8.1.0 onward, the glitch can be performed by Link using [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]] while the opponent is flinching by any [[Assist Trophy]] or [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon with a multi-hit attack (with the two most common ways being the use of [[Knuckle Joe]] or [[Fennekin]]), or a [[Smart Bomb]]. Upon successfully connecting Ancient Bow and Arrow with an opponent, the glitch is triggered. The behaviors and effects of the glitch are otherwise the same as the original method. Due to this, it is generally recommended that the player [[Pausing|pause the game]] if the one is attempting to perform the glitch with Assist Trophies or Pokémon on [[Training Mode]] (which makes all characters [[intangible]]) until the helper in question disappears, since getting hit by another attack automatically fixes the glitch. | |||
