The Yoyo Glitch refers to a glitch done using Ness' yoyo. It can be used to attack or grab with near limitless range or attach certain single-hitbox attacks to Ness' body. The discovery of the glitch was a collaborative effort between VilNess, LonelyNess, and Dan smith, and was spurred on by an innocuous video of an unknown Japanese player accidentally dropping a yoyo hitbox.
Mechanics
Ness' upsmash consists of 3 parts each with its own hitbox: outreaching, spinning, and swinging. The Yoyo Glitch drops the last hitbox of the upsmash onto the ground and leaves it there until Ness dies or uses a non-projectile attack.
How to do it
- Use Ness' up smash and hit any opponent or destructible part of the stage with the outreaching part of the yoyo. Charge the yoyo very slightly before releasing.
- Make sure that, after the yoyo is released into its upward swing, it doesn't hit anything else.
