MissingNo. hacked this game..

this has to be the most weird character we have covered yet... was pretty awesome lol more characters - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPBVb36G1PK3uAUv50UqeQU…

I love how Missingno doesn’t just break himself, but he breaks the stage, the characters, the UI, and the entire game system… he’s unhinged

missingno is the only character that breaks the game not when it comes to balancing, i mean it LITERALLY breaks the game

Something I'm surprised you didn't comment on: When MissingNo is involved in a match, you gain a ricidulous amount of gold - I've gotten around 10-15K from a single match. I know most people probably don't care about gold, but it's just so weird, and a perfect way to apply MissingNo's infamous item duplication glitch.

missingno is the kind of character where if someone finds a glitch , he can just call it a feature

There are "achievements" attached to this guy. Also you can obtain more alt costumes depending on what glitches occur. Down b is a tad crazy also. Actually in some rare cases you can glitch yourself into having infinite stocks. But down b has various effects either randomly or based on what direction you press after connecting? Taunt also glitches things. This is just a crazy character that will take a while to find all the things.

Fun fact: some of Missingno.'s alt costumes reference other glitch pokemon which usually are more screwed up then Missingno. For example the one at 4:08 is a reference to female symbol and the next costume could be a reference to 4 4 a glitch pokemon which it's front sprite fucks up the game so badly it crashes

i think the move that spews out “steak” is the coins from meowths head, and some of the alts are references to missingo in the other pokemon games, like the saturated one is missingno from pokemon yellow. such a good character, might be my new favourite

9:11 So, that's actually Kefka's laugh, from Final Fantasy 6, not Bowser's. Kefka's laugh is probably more recognised as the laughter used in the Sonic.exe creepypastas, which is no doubt why it's included here. I really like the way MissingNo. was implemented here. The fact it can spread to the rest of the game really lives up to its origins, and is a fantastic way to tap on the fourth wall of the game, as nothing is safe now.

there was an “arg” for this guy leading up to the release (which also got solved within the hour) in the main rivals workshop server. first a “DeletedUser” sent a link to a completely blank buddy which only existed to link to a cinnibar island stage. the preview image for cinnibar island had shovel knight fishing on the right side of the stage, which was a hint for unlocking missingno. winning with the same creators unown character gave a “SEEK THE ELDER” message upon winning. the solution everyone found was to fish with p1 shovel knight on a pixel-perfect position, have old man as p2, and set a cpu to unown, and even then the chance for missingno to appear was random. if successful, shovel knight will fish up a missingno that crashes the game, with the crashlog having a string of numbers that correspond to missingno’s steam page. missingno is a marvel that just isn’t being appreciated enough i will also never be able to describe the feeling of missing the start of the arg and then reading over the entire discussion a few hours later after it was solved

Oh boy does MissingNo. here have so many references crafted into it. I'll try to explain as much as I can think there is here. -MissingNo. has Water gun, Sky Attack and Payday as it's moveset. (a mix from Pokemon Red/Blue on top of the Yellow moveset) -The fact MissingNo.'s intro animation sometimes has a black screen is a call back to how the Gameboy struggles to decompile MissingNo's L-shape sprite. -The reason it can duplicate itself or the opponent? Mirroring the 6th item duplication of course! (That and there being more then one MissingNo. in Red/Blue) -The reason the menu's bug out? It's like a temporary corrupt to the hall of fame. -The reason MissingNo. turns into Oak or Giovanni is because of "Glitch trainers" in game that can be found on Cinnabar's coast (depending on your name), or Red and Old Man (since you need him to set up the glitches) -The reason for the Kekfa Laugh and Happy Mask Salesman laugh referencing "Sonic.EXE" and "Ben Drowned" (Both are haunted technology horror stories and MissingNo.'s both glitchy tech and has 3 forms all which are skeletons and a ghost.) -The Gaster reference where MissingNo. becomes invisible but still hittable seems to be a shoutout to []'M[] (MissngNo.'s sibling glitch who is not actually a MissingNo.. Which has the properties to turn invisble if you catch it in battle that leaves an invisible 'M (which becomes ditto). -MissingNo.'s sprites in combat turns either into the opponent, a substitute doll, an egg or ?? or ?????? : (Pokemon Stadium's memory will show glitchmon's as a substitute doll, EGG (from gen2 or bad egg gen3) and Demimark and ??? from gen4-5) -One of the deepcuts with MissingNo.'s neutral air is features it turning into a semi-Giygas. (Since Ape Inc developed Earthbound beginnings and Earthbound. Then went to develop Pokemon Red/Green. So the shoutout is a callback to being the same developers between games) -The reason MissingNo. can turn into a gym statue or a rock (or sometimes borrows the opponents winning screen) is do to MissingNo's Fossil/Ghost forms can borrow the 6th slot of the pokemon you have in the party for a backsprite. (And it's menu sprite pulls out a sprite depending on where you are in the game) -Unsure but I'll drop this here: The fact MissingNo. can change opponents palettes seems to possibly be a reference to the The_None's MissingNo. from M.U.G.E.N (which that version had grab moves that would corrupt the opponents colors)

DSPECIAL EFFECTS LIST: -gives negative damage -breaks sprites -red -both of you are john cena -infini-stock -orcane special copies your enemy side b -sprinting and FSTRONG makes you do sandbert FSTRONG. -you can fly -instakill -taunt also breaks stuff (dont need to use grab) -light mode background -both of you die but missingno wins -you turn into the enemy -cover the screen -stage loses collision (excluding platforms) -platforms lose collision (doesnt combo with NC stage) -Desktop screen is the stage (rare) -no music -pokemon music plays (Extras!) -if 2 missingnos grab each other, the game dies -jumpscare a taunting missingno as springtrap to die -countering the missingno makes you say oh no -you become mario sometimes -intro can glitch you, or make you go fast run -spoopy earthbound refrence in NAIR Oh god this took long

Anybody remember the older version of SSF2 with the MissigNo. Assist Trophy? The one that made you play with a blue screen?

I tried this character and its so chaotic, it can even change the palette of a character. I was playing against MissingNo as Kel and then my palete changed to the Kris palette

Missigno seems like the effects that it can do can be exploited for distractions

2:09 MissingNo used Pay Day

The mod dev going out of his way to cause a modern version of the TMTRAINER effect is mad cool, that's some mad dedication to the craft to carefully break a fairly modern game like that.

THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED IN MISSINGNO REPRESENTATION I'M GENUINELY SO EXCITED

The "that looks terrifying" costume is most likely a reference to how missingno looks in pokemon yellow

I completely agree with you that the character you're referring to is both cool and creepy at the same time. It's fascinating how certain characters can evoke such a range of emotions within us, often making us feel conflicted and uneasy. On one hand, we're drawn to the mysterious and captivating qualities of this character - perhaps their dark, brooding demeanor or their seemingly supernatural abilities. There's something alluring about the unknown, and this character embodies that sense of danger and intrigue. However, on the other hand, this same character can also make us feel unsettled and uneasy. There's a sense of unpredictability that comes with their presence, and we can never quite be sure what their next move will be. Their actions may be driven by a sense of malice or malevolence, which can leave us feeling disturbed and even frightened. In some ways, this character can be seen as a reflection of our own fears and anxieties. We're often drawn to things that scare us, whether it's a horror movie or a haunted house, because it allows us to confront those fears in a controlled and safe environment. However, there's always the risk that we'll be too scared, that the experience will be too intense, and that we'll be left with nightmares or other negative emotions. So while I agree that this character is incredibly cool and fascinating, I have to admit that it also gives me nightmares. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the impact that fictional characters can have on us, both in positive and negative ways. And ultimately, it's up to each of us to decide whether we're willing to confront our fears and delve deeper into the mysteries of this character, or whether we prefer to keep our distance and avoid the nightmares altogether.
