During the 'Full House 2025' tournament in Pennsylvania, USA, a Super Smash Bros. Melee player, Moky, lost to a glitch in the final match, giving the win to Cody Schwab and the prize pot of over $2000.
Moky attempted a high-level technique called 'Wavedashing' on the Pokémon Stadium stage, but ended up vanishing through a tree due to a well-known glitch, leading to his defeat.
While some accused Moky of intentionally triggering the glitch, he denies it, and glitches like these are not uncommon in Super Smash Bros. Melee despite being known for years since its release.
The incident surprised both players and spectators, highlighting the unpredictable nature of competitive gaming and the presence of various glitches in the game.
