      I don't know the frame data precisely, but it's the same with (Young) Link. They can only grab airborne opponents if the hookshot (not the chain) touches the opponent, so the opponent basically has to be directly above (Young) Link for it to work.

    Definitely seems like this was used for fiddling around with Samus' grab. Knowing Nintendo, they likely deemed it too complex and put in a much simpler grab that functions like every other character's but forgot to remove the code before release due to the game being rushed out the door.

    I had a similar hypothesis about the extended grapple beam. My assumption was that the devs used it to test homing and targeting. After all, you can control when you want homing and not, and the extra range makes it easier to debug with.
    Incidentally, I always thought it was interesting how a similar input command exists in Brawl for changing from Samus to ZSS. Back then, I thought there was some sort of favoritism for Samus by the devs lol.

      My interpretation of the move is a callout to the Metroid games. Like, "this is something the grapple beam would be capable of doing". It makes sense seeing as how flexible it is when Samus uses it to swing around, and the fact that's it's futuristic tech.

      @@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450 That's an awesome idea; maybe you get the grapple beam, and later in the game you get the "homing beam". Early in the game there are powerups and upgrades in impossible to reach gaps and crevices. Once you get the homing beam, you can use it to get them. They could somehow implement the motion controls in the joycons to use it, like the grapple lasso in Prime 3.

    I mean, it’s probably a way of testing the code behind Samus’s grab visualization. It’s obvious that the grab isn’t a set animation, and rather a chained together particle effect of some kind. In order to test something like that, a longer grab would be useful. Plus, they may have wanted it to be a special move or attack at some point, like zero suit in the later games. Or, it’s probably just a scrapped version of her grab, to test the two versions and see which one is better easily.

    I imagine the extender may have been used to test the visual effect of the plasma beam and make sure it looked right as it changed length and traveled in different directions. I wouldn't be surprised if Link and Young link had a similar code for their hookshots at some point in development.

    Reminds me of the secrect techniques in super metroid, which need specific requirements to preform, so maybe the extender is intentional since it has a hitbox.

      @@AbefromanGW No what he said was "haha, how could this be a glitch? Don't be silly" while also saying that the specific button used for the input has no other use beyond one easter egg, while also not drawing the conclusion that such a thing also means that the testers simply wouldn't have been thought to try it. It was biased towards not being a glitch, which is ridiculous considering how many bizarre unintended effects are in Melee.

      LeCoolFace Physics “bugs?” They’re physics exploits. A bug would be making the physics engine do things it’s not supposed to do. Wavedashing and most other physics related tech in Melee are just exploits of how the physics engine works in the game to push it to its limits. If they were actually bugs they would’ve been patched out of the PAL version as well.

    I think a good alternative theory would be that the code could have been used to test the flexibility of the grab beam effect. Because of its use as a tether, they'd probably have to test various angles to make sure it didn't clip out or get caught on stuff at certain angles.
