For the Raptor Boost question, the cause of the projectile “dodging” is not due to Falcon being further in the z-axis. When Falcon uses Raptor Boost, a special type of hitbox called “inert” hitboxes appear and cover most of his body. Falcon and Ganon’s side-b’s are the only moves in the game with these hitboxes and they check for collision with objects to determine which animation plays. If a collision is detected Falcon performs the attack, if collision with a wall is detected, the move is canceled (i.e. Pokémon Stadium fire transformation jank), or if no object collision is detected, the move fails and he falls to the ground. Inert hitboxes have higher priority than falcons hurtboxes, so projectiles interact with inert hitbox if it were to collide with both on the same frame; however, the projectile collision disabling is not permanent. If a projectile collides with both the inert hitbox and Falcon’s hurtbox on one frame and only the hitbox on the next, the projectile will do damage. For the first 2 active frames of raptor boost, the inert hitboxes are a big wall in front of him, allowing him to be poked as a projectile is passing him. Frames 3-5 make it nearly impossible to hit as they cover his entire body. After frame 5, he can get hit in his back leg. Ganon only has the middle of his body covered, so he can more easily get hit either in front or behind throughout his side-b. I main Young Link, and this quirk in the game was incredibly annoying when I started, so I spent considerable time in the lab trying to figure out why Falcon just ignores projectiles. This game sucks.

good concluding statement
Is this at least a common misconception?
Really cool video idea. Glad someone is picking up where GG left off. Let me know if you need help with editing or coming up with questions.
Cliff getting the question at 4:45 wrong had me gnawing my arm off in rage
Them struggling with the first one got me frustrated lol
So we're just gonna pretend that the first syllable of "shine spike" is "lish"
It's not exact to sylibles it's just the best way to explain it as not as many people know the word phonetics
8:27 this is actually the Fortnite combo, just ask Iowa Melee or KJH
Gotta love slowking
Dammnit I thought it was Free Palishine Spike
10:35 doesnt it only avoid because of projectile avoid boxes?
It's a combination of factors, not the best worded question I guess
Isn't Falco a pheasant?
Many would think but not according to lore
Im pretty sure he pays his rent
Again I wouldve crushed! I only missed 1 this time around
I would love to see a Melee Jeopardy with noob players lol!
Player base so far has just been a mix of my locals, some of which are quite new to melee (slippi kids) :)
17:12 ummm akshually, the character with the falcon is Tobias, not Jake 🤓
ummmmmm counter ackchyually, All the Animorphs have a main bird morph and Jake's is indeed the Peregrine Falcon. Tobais's is a Red Tailed Hawk.
@@jfei64 oh damn you’re right
does kishoto ever shut up
Polish's last name does sound a lot like Warszawa tho
Imagining the world where I was simply found in jplums recommend feed
