Good Bad Bugs/Video Games/Fighting Game: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Street Fighter]] 2'' has the Guile Handcuffs glitch, which was turned into an actual attack in the video game version of the movie. There's also invisible Dhalsim, which later got turned into his Yoga Teleport.

** And the glitch that turned [[Ryu and Ken]]'s fireballs red instead of blue, which was [[Ascended Glitch|deliberately incorporated]] into console versions and later spawned a separate move for Ryu.

** The buffering, also known as canceling, was an official feature known as 2-in-1 and by itself was nothing spectacular. But then high level players begun to find unintentional ways to make combos longer than standard 2 hit combos:

*** Link Combos: When one move ends fast enough to quickly combo another move without buffering. This is the reason Guile was top-tier in early days.

** The money glitch in ''3'', in which you buy everything you can from the shop, and leave the shop ''without saving'', and then start up Chronicles of the Sword. Intentionally lose the fight/mission and somehow you get all your money back. Result: infinite gold.

** Similarly in Soul Calibur 4, using Yoshimitsu's Bullet Cutter attack will break the AI. The Bullet Cutter can be held, which will turn it from a normal attack into an unblockable attack. The response of the AI will be to block until it reaches its unblockable state, then try to attack. By releasing it shortly after it becomes unblockable and then quickly starting it up again, it's possible (and usually quite easy) to beat even the hardest AI without them landing a scratch on you. Take that, Tower of Lost Souls.

** The 'black hole' glitch can produce some neat graphical effects, all while ''not'' crashing your game.

*** That is until too much stuff is added; then the game crashes.

** ''Brawl'' also has a glitch with the up-and-down moving platforms in the stage creator, which allows one to "teleport" from the edge of the platform up to a sloped section of ground adjacent to that platform at the top of its movement. You can even land smash attacks on opponents that are ''several feet above you''! See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7pnbF-LRAc this video] for a demonstration.

* ''[[Final Fight]]'' had a small bug that allowed you to keep enemies in a stunlock by turning the other way just as you performed the third hit in a standard combo, thus breaking out of the sequence and allowing you to start the combo all over again while your target remained stunned. This can be done over and over again to create an infinite combo that no enemy can break out of. One of Cody's super moves in ''[[Street Fighter]] Alpha 3'' references this bug, as he uses the trick to land an extended combo on his opponent.

** The Kaiser Drill bug is still in ''[[Updated Rerelease|KOF 2002 Unlimited Match]]'' and ''Neowave'' as well.

* In the King of Fighters 2003, Jhun has a move where he stomps on the opponent's head. However, a glitch caused Jhun to be able to roll during the hit animation, even though Jhun were still in the air. This caused Jhun to float above the ground and messed up the knockback of some of his moves, causing strange and amusing results. For example, Jhun to be able to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QpYoHprg_c&feature=PlayList&p=03A1BFDC75064F12&index=45 shin kick his opponent to death]. In addition, Jhun could also unfloat himself by hitting his opponent with the stomp attack again, but, if he missed, it was possible to have Jhun freeze himself until time ran out or until his opponent hit him. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgRqXcOj8K4&feature=PlayList&p=03A1BFDC75064F12&index=46 More amusing results ensue].

* In the game ''[[Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee|Godzilla: Unleashed]]'', there is a glitch that allows you to go outside of the arena in some levels (So far, Osaka and Seattle). This is especially fun in the Seattle level, which allows you to go to a (previously inaccessible) volcano. Unfortunately, it only works with Krystalak, Godzilla 2000, and (with great difficulty) King Ghidorah).

** A separate glitch allows Mothra to go outside of Monster Island.

* ''Blockofighter'' isn't supposed to have any special attacks. It has. Did you lose your leg? Now you can jump higher! Did you lose your arm? Now you can spin on the ground faster and deadlier! Did you lose both arms? Beyblade time! Also, you can walk on air, [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress|as long as you don't stop for more than 0.5 second]].

* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' gives us the Link Glitch, which in simple terms tricks the game into thinking certain attacks have hit when they didn't by using a projectile attack, then a second attack at '''''just''''' the right moment as the projectile hits the opponent. Besides allowing attacks to hit when they didn't, it also allows attacks to combo into each other in ways they normally can't. Notable instances of this glitch include Yuna chaining Impulse into Heavenly Strike, Terra chaining Meltdown into Holy Combo, and Cecil chaining Searchlight into Paladin Force. The latter example is particularly amusing as Searchlight has significantly greater range than Paladin Force, resulting in Cecil swooping halfway across the arena in a split second to attack if the glitch is pulled off successfully.

** ''[[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3]]'' featured a glitch that allowed players to ''select alternate costumes they haven't bought yet.'' It still involves owning a costume pack already but the upside of it is that it allows you to choose [[Magneto]]'s alternate costume which is still not officially available.
