glitches

I do this in "Combat Hall" what you do is go up to the second floor and go to the upper left side (wher that morph ball trail is) the jump up and hold left and up and you will fly across the trail...if this dosn't make sence (since I can't explan things well I can make a video)

So you jumped left and flew to the other side of the room?

If not, I don't understand. A video would work.

You aren't flying when you do that. There's a little tiny ledge just big enough for you to walk on if you press against the wall. So it's not really a glitch.

And for a better explanation, go up the jump pad and make your way to the bridge. Go towards the second MB tunnel and press up against that wall. Then jump forwards in the direction that the tunnel goes while staying pressed against the wall. You should land on the tiny ledge and be able to walk across to the other side.

Oh. I've done it. It's not a glitch, really, just too much collision detection. Still fun to confuse people with though.

Also, when doing this glitch, if you get hit with a missle you can get stuck in the MB trail.

I found a way to get that ice beam with out going through that maze thing...what you do is stand on the the pillar that broke in half, then charge you missles and fire while pointing at your feet. Then Samus will jump a little and when you are in the air hold forward and jump again on to the ledge wher that beam is.

Well, that's not really a glitch. But it doesn't really matter cuz it's already been found. But, uh, good job on finding it yourself I guess.

Theres a really hot debate going on in the Nsiders and GFaqs forums about a certain gamebreaking tactic that can only be done by Noxus.

Whether is real or not, I do not know.

I found a way to scale up the"Alinos Gateway" place and I can get all the way up so that I'm not in the map when I press the start button. I'm working on getting a video. But I will have one soon. winky

Ready and willing.

Just let the censor catch that stuff.

And, um... I can't see what the hell is going on in that vid. At all.

he aims at the ground and the 3 judicator shots go forward (where you were first aiming), and back to the left and right (I think)

it can also go through walls.

wth?! That's crazy! I just tried it and you can get someone from 1/3 of the length of combat hall! gah

Now I'm definately switchin to Noxus before everyone finds out!

Wait... so... what happens is that the bouncy shots spread everywhere and freeze whatever they hit? Don't you have to be somewhat accurate?

the JUD. has 3 shots. one goes where you're facing, and the other two go behind in a diagonal fashion.

its funny how NOA is trying to keep it under wraps, as if they could fix the glitch or something. -_-

Holy crap! Talk about an exploitable glitch! I estimate the range at the distance from the affinity powerup on Combat Hall to the about under the bridge, a little under half the length of the arena (EDIT: See update), and its virtually impossible to miss! Fortunately jumping does prevent it, but all it would take is good timing to get them anyways.

What I don't get, is what causes it? I know people have been saying its the bouncing Judicator beams, but when Noxus uses a charged Judicator it doesn't (normally) shoot the three beams at all, it just fires off the freeze thing. What could cause the range of this to expand incredibly along the ground when you fire it at your feet? EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out how it works from reading around. The charged Judicator shoots up and down perpendicular to your sight, so when you look down that perpendicular become horizontal.

UPDATE: After some more testing, I've found some other things. For one thing, I've found that range is either inifinite or much further than I thought. After some practice I was able to freeze a bot from the entire length of Combat Hall, its just hard to aim that far. I've also been able to confirm that you can also do it by looking up instead of down, but its harder this way, I'm guessing that the perpendicular line that freezes people is slighly in front of you, so when you look down it is near the ground, and when you look up its above your head, so although aiming up works, its harder to hit (Is anyone following this but myself? I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it better). Another thing I've found is that it can go through enemies, in one WiFi game I was able to freeze to enemies in a line with one Freeze Shadow shot.

Oh, lol, I didn't realize I had my speakers off when I first watched it. X_X

So, um, people who are good at this game and crap... is this the end of the world, or are people overreacting?

I don't know, its a bit situational. It doesn't work well at long range, its too hard to be accurate, and whenever there is terrain that is not flat it is harder to perform, but at short to medium range on flat ground, it can be performed pretty well. I was able to beat a three star Spire on Combat Hall 7-2, something I could never do without doing that trick. The best way I've seen to prevent it is bunny hopping, which a lot of people do anyways. If someone could really master this, get to the point where they could not only hit people on flat ground, but angle it right to hit people above and below them, I think it could be incredibly devestating, but that would take an enourmous amount of practice (I've been able to do it a few times against bots, but hardly consistantly).
