The stock glitch is a glitch in Super Smash Bros. Melee that allows the player to play as a character with the stock design of another character. This will also show the character of the stock design they're using underneath the character roster. Also, the token will be on the character they're actually using to fight when they do this glitch. If the player presses Y or X after they've done the glitch correctly, the bottom of the screen will show the actual character and the stock glitch won't work. This was discovered in 2009 by an unknown player.
People will sometimes do this in tournaments or in friendlies. The most common stock designs out of this glitch are Yoshi's and Kirby's stock design.
Initiating the glitch
To perform the glitch, the player must first select a character. After this, they must hit the B button once, then place the icon over another character. However, they must not press the A button. Instead, they must press the Y button once, then press L + R + Start. After this, they must go back to VS. Mode and Melee, and press Start. If done correctly, the glitch should occur.
For an unknown reason, Kirby, Yoshi, and Captain Falcon are unable to perform the glitch and cannot have different stock designs.
