the space pirates in the plasma beam room, ever notice that when you shoot them with the charged plasma beam they block it (except the ones on the wall) but when you shoot a normal shot with the plasma beam they get hit (as they should)

point is, charged shot should hit them anyways since it is stronger (charged) but it doesn't.

Yeah I always found that very odd, and it is probably a glitch in the game. That, or they just wanted those Pirates to be especially annoying...

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

Well the ones on the walls are vulnerable to everything except bombs and space time beam and receive double damage from missiles, super missiles, spazer-plasma and chainsaw beam

The ones on the floor are vulnerable to plasma, wave-plasma, ice-plasma, wave-ice-plasma, speed echoes, speed boosting, shinesparking, screw attacking and pseudo screw attacking and nothing else. Charge beams (which would include hyper beam, SBA and murder beam) fall into the category of nothing else since all the charge beams are put into one vulnerbility entry (so if you're vulnerable to plasma charge beam, you're also vulnerable to normal charge beam)

yeah i made sure they were vulnerable to all of the plasma combinations, and figured they were vulnerable to the other things you mentioned. but i guess this points out how the game maps out
(if thats the right way to put it) how some enemies are affected by the charge beam.

They are especially annoying! Especially in a speed run when you're just about to kill them and they jump to the opposite wall, costing you a few seconds.
