Infinates?

[DNZRX768]

Just in case I got the completely wrong Idea about infinates,

What are they and how to stop them?

and

Recently, Ampchu has told me that my Pikachu has an infinate in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHuHh7SAZxk

But I can't seem to find it...

Where is this infinate?

Infinate is something that is infinate, example wise a simple attack, you can press the button over and over again and get a huge amount of damage and a hella lot in combo.

Change your hit velocity (X) to something less (cos its negative), so lets say you have -1, change it to -2 and see what happends, and you can altso change hitpauses.

Altso the video made me rofl, seriusly, exploding apples? o__O

In actual official fighting games, an infinite can also simply be a combo that will kill the opponent in one go if you execute it correctly, regardless if there actually is a loop in it or not. 100% damage.
But more generally speaking, it's a combo you can loop over and again. If you can repeat the same button sequence before the opponent can recover (whether you yourself go back to your stance inbetween or not), fall down or too far away from you to keep going, it's an infinite combo.
In this video, it's the fireball that stuns the opponent. He's stunned long enough for Pikachu to do anything he wants - including stunning him again. He did it 3 times in a row before doing a super.
