I noticed that the first time I played. Although at first I thought it was some sort of slug. (the head was the eye). Then one day I just realized that it's actually a person. Changed my life forever (not really).
i've been trying to confirm if you really can get stuck in the wall during the fight with ridley. i've seen several claims by different people over the years, but i've never seen a video or found better instructions on how to do it (ex: http://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/ridley_cheezing_stratagyglitch.html). here's a vbm of the closest i've gotten, but i need to go just a little bit further to get stuck. i'm not even sure if that's the right approach, maybe taking damage would somehow help.
I can't imagine it being a better strat in a TAS, or more reliable on console than the space jump strat. Do you have to get Ridley to drop you as he's turning or something? Also: lol stratagy
It's easier than the original method to do the low-height spark (which requires timing the shine charge, and also figuring out how far left to run to give yourself space). It also saves 5-10 frames but that's not really the main point.
it's a joke, because I lost bgm throughout pyr by mixing three beeps after box jump shot, moreover I died without sound. I couldn't never repeat this again.
Hmm, at first glance I thought this looked really stupid. But after some experimentation I could fairly consistently manipulate her into not shooting at all, and if she does shoot you can just do what the video does and hide a tiny bit into the tunnel.
Getting a no-shot Balljump is pretty much identical in time to getting a no-shot when shooting her right away. Avoiding the diagonal shot is equivalent to getting a no-shot if you wait for her to start walking (safe strats).
A no-shot Balljump is pretty precise, but not more so than a no-shot when shooting her. You have to cancel your damage boost by hitting the tunnel ceiling and then jump (straight) immediately, press right for a tiny bit to get past the edge then hold left to fall back down and hang out by the tunnel. Even if she does shoot you can react and go a tiny bit into the tunnel to dodge the shot. The problem is that you have to react a lot faster than the current safe strat.
