Honestly, I don't think this is a glitch (purely unintended mechanics) so much as it is an exploit (using intended mechanics in an unintended way), as the characters it works on don't go into helpless, and only gain the move back if they are hit (with some exceptions, like Pit in Brawl), which grab releasing with pummeling isn't a hit.

'''Oppose''' for the same reasons as Toomai. I highly doubt that grab releasing certain characters for an automatic easy KO is an intentional design choice. Compare this to the [[landing lag glitch]] which only effects certain characters, but not all, yet that was clearly unintentional. I am of the opinion the same applies here.

Does this work on Kirby, Peach, ROB, or Zamus? Mr. Anon (talk) 15:40, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
- To my knowledge, no. Omega Tyrant

- The glitch happens because of the programming that says "You enter your regular falling state, but you can't use your up special again". Those four characters don't apply perfectly: Kirby and Peach don't enter their regular falling state, and R.O.B. and ZSS can use their up specials more than once (though R.O.B. needs to have the fuel to do so).

Move Proposal
Since this hasn't had any discussion yet, I'd propose moving this to Grab release, under the "Air release" section. This "glitch" is a side effect of how air releases work, as transitioning to a grounded state is what gives you some Up Bs back. You could maybe add a subsection like "edgeguarding" and place this content there. Thoughts? --

I don't like the claim in the move suggestion that there is "no evidence" of this being a glitch. For this to not be a glitch, it must be by design and intentional that some characters are affected and others are not, and I find it extremely difficult to believe that "grab at edge and allow escape without pummeling" is a purposeful way to automatically KO some characters but not others. It is far more likely that it is a per-character glitch with enough common elements between characters to appear more universal. Toomai Glittershine The Zesty 09:50, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
