You may remember some time ago that Pokkén player Shadowcat discovered a strange glitch with Braixen’s air fireball in Pokkén Tournament. For whatever reason, an opposing Gardevoir or Charizard could tank the hit, bypass the air tech state and immediately preform an air action of some kind.
Well, the glitch has been pushed to new, strange territories. Since Charizard can glide in the air, an immediate glide cancel allows him to do some very silly combos. Take the above option for example: gliding allows him to clip down under the earth, making his jump 6y hits from underneath. It’s then that the game realizes that the fire not-dragon is so grounded as to be within it, and immediately aligns him back onto the surface.
That’s one way to link into 2Y, I guess. But is it even a link? Charizard flashes white before the 2Y, implying he somehow canceled j.6y into a grounded 2y.
And then there’s this insane thing above, with a glitched Charizard being able to combo into his burst off a phase shift. This shouldn’t be possible at all, but yet, here we are.
Braixen’s air fireball recovery is nerfed in the latest version of Pokkén Tournament in the arcade. So if this glitch still exists, this potentially means Charizard could get guaranteed — and hilarious looking — damage for getting hit.
