This could perhaps be verified by having someone load up a Gen III game in an emulator, spam savestates until Protect succeeds four times in a row, and then reload to see approximately how often the fifth Protect succeeds. If the X-value theory is correct, then Protect should work 1 in 8 times. If the table is correct, then Protect should only work 1 in ~555 times.

:Apologies for the delay, and yes, it's basically a relation between success rate and X. The glitch is presumably that X is not capped when it should be, causing the game to start reading garbage data (you can see the Low Kick data in there). As it happens, http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19862416 is the video that induced me to copy in the table, where the glitched table is exhibited in full detail (there are many long pauses in there).

::Extremely intruiging. Wonder if anyone's disassembled to game to see what makes the cap fail to work. I've added a link to that video in the article (using Nicozon instead of Nicovideo so non-registered users will be able to see it), since I feel it's more thorough and convincing than the link that's currently there.
