Yeah, that's known. There's another example of that if you watch my 100% tas.

Edit: Here's a screenshot.

What happens if you enter the door while the sprite loops?

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

The door transition appears* out of place (a bit far to the right)

*It's in the same place it would be, but obviously you're further out than normal

It's probably worth mentioning at this point that the blocks behind the door transition blocks are usually solid blocks

So in simple english you appear further away from the door than usually. Or...?
Never mind don't answer, I'll just watch your 100% TAS and don't want the surprise to be spoiled.

Er, pj, you made it too complicated. If you still care,

All it does is show the transition that would happen if samus was entering a door from right to left.

Hi everyone!
Here's something I just discovered. It's absolutely useless, and I don't even know, if it counts as a glitch, but here it goes: while hanging from a ledge (Samus is clinging with both of her arms) it is not possible to fire your beam nor your missiles. But you can shoot if you charge up your beam. As I said, it's totally useless yet it looks funny that the projectile is coming straight from your body. (Looks better if you have plasma or at least wide beam.)

Yeah I have noticed that too. But I think it's not a glitch since Samus is holding her cannon (how is it said?) over the edge of the platform. if it wasn't right, sorry 'bout my bad grammar

True, but she is holding it diagonally upwards yet she's firing it straight forward. And if she is holding it above the platform why can't she shoot normally, only charged shots?

Beats me.

Hmm... Maybe this would be some kind of glitch after all. Not that it necessarily would be.

Guys, it's not a glitch. >_<

With the way the game works, all of that makes sense.

I thought you could fire normally while gripping a platform...

I think he's talking about when you aren't aiming the arm cannon.

Shifty Leader

That M2k2 guy

Should be fine.

I'm pretty sure he meant you shoot along the platform you're hanging from. I do that sometimes in one particular spot in ARC. It sometimes kills the floaty dudes in one hit, but I don't get the timing. I'm not sure if shooting as you hang is stronger than shooting as your climbing up or something (the latter makes more sense to me).

Also, if you haven't noticed already, try charging, then hitting R as you traverse the ceiling ladders. If you do so as your front arm is moving, you shoot straight ahead and keep moving. There's also a video in the Fusion section that uses R during a speed boosting space jump to shoot doors and keep flying (to get the NOC missile tanks).

I know. Didn't you read what I said: 'Not that it's necessarily a glitch'.

Jagger ftw

In my 1% run, when I was trying to doge a eye's laser (By jump and morph mid air right over the laser), the laser disapperd (I did not get hit), I heard the laser continue traveling and exploded, but I did not hear any thing.
It was the "eye" before you fight nightmare

Which is it? Also, were you playing on an emulator?

Gu3st

console, gba

The laser is from one of those "eye" that are protecting the doors to a boos room (the one I found this glitch is the door before nightmare)

uh dunno man did you hack it????????????

nope.
I morphed mid air (jump+morph)when the laster was under me.

is it possible that morphing animation was too close to the laser's animation and canceled it out?

BioSpark

2009-02-27 07:41:58 pm

rotfl no. i've really never heard of that, if that's what happened.

There is no morphing animation in mid-air anyways

this is old but cool for anyone that doesn't know. (is this a sequence break?)

BioSpark

2009-11-06 10:52:20 pm

uh yeah, old generally means that people know it already. you could call it a sequence break, but it doesn't do anything. just like any other "sequence break" in fusion.
