Super Smash Bros. Ultimate glitch gives Isabelle infinite Assist Trophies

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been the focus of talk in the Nintendo world since it December 7 launch for Switch. The fighting game has already become a big hit, selling 1.2 million copies in Japan alone in just three days. While most of the Smash Bros. discussion focuses on strategies, character tier lists, and online multiplayer problems, today we can look at something a bit less serious: a hilarious glitch.

As discovered by YouTuber TheAfrowJow in the video above, if two players using Isabelle (the mayoral assistant from Animal Crossing that’s also one of Ultimate’s new characters) try to use her fish hook ability just moments apart from each other on an Assist Trophy, than the one Isabelle will start spawning the assist character repeatedly.
