Explanation

This is a visual/animation bug. While playing a bot match, I was chasing Nea and she had 4 worldbreaker tokens, and 2 hook states, so I was preparing to 'Mind Break' her. She got to a pallet as I was charging my Vine Attack, and threw the pallet at the same time I hit her with the Vine Attack which would normally put her in the Mind Break position where shes up in the air ready to be prompted. But in this situation, when she threw the pallet at the same time the Mind Break animation was supposed to begin, she was just frozen in place only able to look back at me as if the bot were a real player giving up chase. The attached video clip shows it in it's entirety.
