Bumping this with agreement with what AtW put out. It really doesn't feel like a glitch to me - again, a side effect of how it works. A glitch isn't strictly something unintentional, and I think that line of thinking stretches the definition by quite a lot. A glitch usually describes a program acting out of its intended function due to faulty programming that causes erratic results. There are many intended mechanics that have uses outside of what was intended, which we call exploits for this reason. This doesn't seem to be either of these: It is a program going through the exact motions that were written out, with mixed results. There is a name for this in glitch hunter communities: an '''Oversight''': A case that was '''not''' considered by the developers that is thus working in a state of ignorance. For example, the Old man "glitch" in Pokemon Red and Blue was a fully intended function, storing wild data in an area that seemingly didn't have grass tiles, but it did, and they just forgot, causing the erratic behaviour; that's an oversight. "Glitch" is a pretty strong word that should be considered carefully, as in many cases where something is called a "glitch", it's often for merely strange behaviour that may have been intended (eg. Wavedashing was found during development and kept, so you could absolutely make the argument that it was intended). To me, something like Mewtwo's glitchy custom moves in Smash 4 would be glitches, where the game ends up calling garbage data, for example, or the many, many giant model bugs we have. This, by comparison, fully feels like an oversight to me, rather than a glitch. --[[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]][[User:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Plague'''</span>]][[User talk:Plague von Karma|<span style="color: #e68;">''' von Karma'''</span>]][[File:PlagueSigImage.png|20px]] 19:24, July 26, 2023 (EDT) | |||
