Melee]]'' done using {{SSBM|Ness}}'s {{mvsub|Ness|SSBM|Up smash|alt=yo-yo}}. It can be used to attack or grab with near limitless range or attach certain single-[[hitbox]] attacks to Ness's body. The discovery of the glitch was a collaborative effort between {{Sm|VilNess}}, {{Sm|LonelyNess}}, and {{Sm|Dan Smith}}, and was spurred on by an innocuous video of an unknown Japanese player accidentally dropping a yo-yo hitbox. | ||

Ness's up smash must first hit any opponent or damageable object while in its outreaching or spinning state. The outreaching state is typically used to hit, as its hitbox is stronger than the one in spinning state, and can knock the victim out of the way. If only outreaching state hits, then Ness has to charge his up smash for 6 - 11 frames after the hit. If the up smash is unstale, that equates to attack button being released between 24th to 29th frame of the up smash (including hitlag frames). If spinning state hits, the up smash has to be charged for 7 - 12 frames. The yo-yo can't hit anything after it is released into its swinging state. | Ness's up smash must first hit any opponent or damageable object while in its outreaching or spinning state.

Hitting something with the | Hitting something with the yo-yo creates a special delayed hitbox refresh event. The purpose of the hitbox refresh is to allow a charged smash attack to hit a single target multiple times, while the yo-yo is spinning on ground. However, the refresh event is missing an important detail that normal hitbox creation events always have: it doesn't setup Ness to have his hitboxes removed when his state changes. Thus, the refreshed yo-yo hitbox can stay active after the smash attack has already ended.<ref>https://smashboards.com/threads/the-yo-yo-glitch-cracked-update-faq-now-in-first-post.48717/page-35#post-22600153</ref> | ||
