Talk:Master Hand glitch

Diffrence with versions?

I try the glitch, and it doesn't work. I have a late version, so maybe that's the reason? When I try it, the game just freezes with looping music.--{{SUBST:User:MewFan128/sig}} 01:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

It freezes kinda randomly sometimes. I have version 1.2, and it works for me. Just keep trying! Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 17:30, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussion

IMO, this is one of the most notable glitches in Melee. I think that being able to play as a boss via glitch warrants a page, but Miles doesn't seem to think so. Time to vote/discuss. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 23:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep Expand it, then we'll see. It's definitely notable, and I'm just going to put a link in the section until this discussion is over.Smoreking^(T) _(c) 23:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep. In my opinion, a page shouldn't be merged until it's had time to "accumulate" a bit. Toomai Glittershine The Table Designer cntrbs 23:25, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep I'd like a little more info on this. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 00:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I guess it's being kept, then. Sheesh. Miles (talk) 01:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Works on 1.2

I have version 1.2, and it works for me. However, it freezes on Target Test, Classic, Training, and Stock Matches.

The glitch freazes the game iif a player is zelda.

From what I have tested the game freazes if a player is zelda, I have tried various alterations (mode, if there is memory or not) and zelda seems to be a consitant crasher.--68.204.246.64 02:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

My theory -- this may be related to the Sheik connection on the canceled match results screen. Miles (talk) 13:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Multi Man note

When playing in Multi-Man Mode with Master Hand, his high score goes to Mario. Should we add it? --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 16:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I think so. ;D ~Teh Blue Blur~^{~You're too slow!~} 16:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Not Working!

I tried the two controller stategy and managed to get to the stage select screen, but when I selected a stage, Player 3 was still just a normal character.

Make sure Player 3 is set to HMN, with no character selected.

2 min time only?

I have tried the glitch in quite a few modes, I have no issues with other modes.--68.204.246.64 05:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

cant control master hand

i tried the 2 controller verson. it works but i cant control him. also, when i press L+R+A+START, sheik's name is in the place of master hand's name and there's no one clapping in the player 3 spot. <span style="border:2px outset #000099;background-color: #000099;-moz-border-radius:3px">'''''[[User:Supercoolguy147|<span style="color:#ffffff;">SCG</span>]] [[User talk:Supercoolguy147|<span style="color:#ffffff;">147</span>]]'''''</span> (talk) 22:08, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Your signature is... broken. I don't even know how, but I do know that even if you were to fix it, at its current length it's over the limit. You should make it short and sweet, yet clear (i.e. your username must be in it). I can't explain why you can't control Master Hand, but the fact that Sheik's name is in place of Master Hand's is already in the article, as is the fact that there's no one clapping for him. PenguinofDeath 22:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

It's worth mentioning in Article that you can only attack using the D-Pad, and you can't fly him around.84.67.29.215 13:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The 2 controller one doesn't work

I tried it, but it didn't work! WHY? It was the 2 controller one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.75.64 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 August 2009

It's a hard glitch to do, so it takes a couple tries. but i think 2 controllers are the easiest, but it took me like a million tries to do it. but, it does work

Is it true?

Is it really true that he has to hover? Or can he fly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.75.64 (talk • contribs) 19:37, 4 August 2009

U can't move 'im

You can't move master Hand AT ALL!! that's REALLY lame 174.23.75.64 20:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Is your controller in the third slot ? Do you use the D-pad instead of the joystick ? Paratroopafan (talk) 23:11, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Also, you can't move Master Hand around the stage. U can only control him with moves. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 17:35, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

The game froze

I tried the 2-player glitch, and when I selected the stage, it wouldn't load!--Shadow34 14:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Shadow34

it happens a lot. it happen twice to me, but that's because the game wasn't ment for you to play as master hand.

CPU Master Hand???

The Article says that "It is possible to have a computer player Master Hand if you have a computer player with no selected character while using the name entry glitch.", but how to change names to computer played characters? --CaioNV (talk) 23:30, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I'm removing it. It doesn't seem possible. 98.117.158.220 05:47, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I was able to get a computer master hand in by having a player set to CPU w/ no character selected, and doing the name entry on a seperate, HMN player. CPU Master hand will attack whether he's P3 or not. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 01:07, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

So it does work. Put it in the article then since you pointed it out.--Megatron1 (talk) 01:11, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I just added it right now. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 01:21, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Kay. Preview your changes so that stuff doesn't get spaced like that.--Megatron1 (talk) 01:22, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, oops. Stupid iPod Touch. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 01:30, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Event match

Did you know that if you load event match 50 (the one where you face Master hand and Crazy hand) you can still play as master hand? the Master hands appear in the same place. If you kill master hand first, you can do attacks with Crazy hand. Is it worth placing in the article? 98.117.158.220 05:46, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

has moves my ASS!

i tried the 1 controller option and it worked but all he does is float there. (MADD)

Make sure that master hand is player 3, and that u are inputting moves on the d-pad, not the analog stick.

Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 22:56, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Won't work at all

I spent about an hour using BOTH methods, and none of them worked. I even wrote down the instructions, and no matter how my timing would be, no matter what, it wouldn't work. For 2 player mode: Everything works up until the point where player 2 and 1 press A at the same time (P1 over Name field, and P2 over Back). For the 1 player mode: I tried the "press A and B at same time. Release A while holding B, and press A when cursor is just above Name Entry". All it does is take me to the Name Maker, or just takes me out of CSS back to the menu. Is the glitch even real?--Shade 15:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

The glitch is real. I've done it several times. Just keep trying. You have to get the timing just right. It took me a while to do it the first time, too. Dr. Pain 99 Talk 15:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

For the once player version, make sure at the begining you press A slightly before B. Hope that helps! Mr. Anon teh awsome 20:49, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Name Change?

Guys, wasn't this glitch called the Name Select Glitch (or something like that)? -Cross Drago too lazy to log in

This is more specific, as there are other versions that use the Name Select Glitch.--MegaTron1XD 20:40, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

The Name Entry glitch can refer to three other glitches. Dr. Pain 99 Talk 20:43, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Guide?

I have written a guide to Master Hand and this glitch, is it worth putting in the trivia section? http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=278836 Grim Tuesday (talk) 02:07, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
