Equip Glitch allows a character to wear normally unavailable equipment (weapon, armor) without having the necessary Extra Abilities equipped. For example, Peltast's Gear allows anyone to equip katanas. Zidane could keep using Piggy's Stick , a katana type weapon even after unequipping Peltast's Gear.

In practice, this can save up to 40 Capacity Points (10 points per piece of equipment) in any build. Many builds use this glitch for 1-2 items, but some may require it for all equipment.

This is available to any character in the game without third party modifications. Despite its clear advantages, it has not caused major setbacks for competitive balance. As such, this has been deemed legal for tournament play.

How to Do

Founder: ujhbn

Unlock the appropriate extra ability from the shop.
Unequip all extra abilities for the character
Pick only one extra ability e.g. Peltast’s Gear.
Equip the item you want, such as Piggy’s Stick for Zidane.
Go back to the abiity menu screen.
In Extra Abilities section, sort abilities by pressing Triangle , and choose "Equipped".
Unequip the extra ability.

Repeat the process as necessary. As long as you only have one extra ability equipped, it can be removed without the game asking you to remove related items. Please note, that this must be done for every character and equipment set separately. Furthermore, if you remove equipment from a character later, the glitch must be done again.
