Reptiles force ball glitch working every time without tag.

[Scoot Magee]

I haven't really messed with this glitch much before today, outside of having it happen in matches. I went and tried some stuff with it this morning and found this.

If any ex force ball is performed up close and is blocked, it will leave a hitbox in the middle of the screen. The hitbox will stay on screen as long as you don't use the same version of that force ball. For instance, if I do a close slow ex force ball and it's blocked I can throw all the fast balls/ex balls I want. If I throw out a slow ball, ex or normal, the hitbox will go away.

Bare with me, I'm performing the moves on stick while holding block on the 360 pad.

Ugh. What a sloppy glitch on NRS' part. Thanks for reporting this, though. I had this happen to me once and I was dumbfounded.

Major props for finding the glitch pal. This happened to me a few times online and I figured it was the lag and piss poor netcode :facepalm:

A similar glitch happened to me too where forceball vanished. It's really weird.

This combo comes out just fine in the corner, but not midscreen.

Well it's been found by others before but nobody ever posted how it really happens. So credit really goes to everyone.

Something similar also occurs with Kabal's sawblades and plasmas, the regular versions.

I can't tell if the CPU was blocking or not, but I was throwing out plasma at him (iirc it was shang tsung, but wasn't moring). He was in a corner, my plasma seemed to miss/get blocked/disappear, but a while after that shang tsung took random damage out of nowhere and ended up on the ground.

If someone is serious about looking for glitches and reporting them before evo and has capture gear, look for that :/
