This is actually a glitch at that one Japanese "deep-fried prawns" site, but I don't think it's ever been mentioned here. Thought I might.

Mother Brain can give you the flash suit (NOT the blue suit) just like Draygon; just crystal flash while she's about to shoot her eyebeam. This, naturally, gives you a free shinespark. Also, it gives you an infinite ammo supply due to glitching up the ammo-drain effect of the beam. Should be handy.

Heh. NM, it really isn't. At least I'm not getting any benefits from the testing I just did. I'll post this anyway, in case someone cleverer than me finds a use for this.

I remember doing some testing with this and came to the conclusion that it was actually quite useless.

Also, even if it was capable of saving time, CFing at the proper moment to not either die or have MB do something besides step forward and start the scripted part has something like a 10 frame window IIRC, which wouldn't be worth the risk unless it cut off at least a full second.

I see absolutely no reason for CF to give you a free shinespark, but if it did, it may be plausible to save about a second by shinesparking into the hole behind her immediately as it opens, thus skipping past the shutters.

It's not the CF that gives you the shine, it's the interruption of the CF.

And sparking there wouldn't save any time, as it's a short hallway, you can shoot the shutters without stopping, and the post-spark delay plus backtrack to the door is longer than just running straight through.

Good point. It's a real shame it's not useful. :^(

Well, a 100% TAS could likely use it to save the couple frames of crouching and sparking for the shinespark in the third room.  I think.

Hahaha I thought about that one, but completely forgot people do TASes.

I remember Kej mentioning that you can't do a Crystal Flash inside Mother Brain's chamber or something like that.
I can't remember...

Oh no, you can, I tested this myself to make sure it actually worked. I'm now pretty sure, however, that it's basically useless, as you lose a few frames from the initial immobility of getting the suit (you have to be hit before you can move again), which negate the very little time that free spark might save. Oh well.

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder
If you have the x-ray scope, you can use that to regain control instead of having to wait for Mother Brain to hit you. You'll still lose a few frames, but not as long.
