i just dont know who the gently caress designed the hornet and thought it was fun. the dude is a dick and will float where your shots cant even reach its mouth and all of its attacks are bullshit. youre just hoping it behaves itself and lets you shoot it

The wasp bosses in Metroid Prime suck too. Maybe it was an homage.

i saw a speedrun where the dude glitched the little hornets and then killed the boss in 0.1 seconds

maybe glitching the little hornets give you an attack boost??? (i don't know)

btw i loved glitching the enemies that make your firewall weapon huge

the game needed more of those silly glitches

I found an enemy that glitches into Missingo. If I remember correctly, it happens with the floating, 2 armed jellyfish dudes that shoot 2 shots at a time, located in the area where you encounter the hallucinations.

yeah if you glitch its babies and make them blow up on its open mouth it will die instantly

a lovely boss with a secret "easy" way to beat it. it is truly an homage to draygon

I think I got the hornet on the 3rd or 4th try but I admit he would've been a lot harder if I didn't have the lightning gun.

i killed the hornet in one try using the default gun. that boss is really easy and lol if you died to it

in fact, its the most boring and easy boss in the game, including the one that you dont have to do anything to kill

the shard gun made this boss really easy by standing on the highest raised area and jumping and shooting constantly. its full auto so you dont even have to mash. the gun's not even hidden, really, it's in edin basically on the way to the boss, and you can see it even when you cant get to it.

also this game owns and i love the soundtrack. nearing 100% completion (100%ed all the other zones, just started mar-aru), seen 2 secret worlds with nothing but health/damage nodes in which is lame.

my only real gripe is the sorta bullshit damage things do as you enter a zone for the first time, but once you learn how to deal with specific enemies it's not too bad. plus how ridiculously hidden some of the stuff is, jesus christ.

the hornet is a very unfortunate lovely boss and it's the wall between you and the best part of the game (warping around with the screw attack and sentry warp collecting all the hidden goodies)

the 'screw attack' was actually really really disappointing because i was looking forward to the super cool final movement upgrade and imagining all of these cool possibilities and then it turned out to be 'u can glitch 3 blocks instead of 2 and u break things' which is not cool at all.

it makes getting around really fast if youre constantly double tapping and i thought it was a fun upgrade. it also butchers every enemy that isn't part of the final areas

Only problem with the red coat dash was that it needed a double tap to activate, but every other button on the controller is taken up by something so I don't know how you'd fix that. You could map it to L1 I guess.

Eh, it's basically my main weapon once I get it. Works great on the optional and final boss.

I thought it worked great on them too but it was easier to just glitch them and go past to save HP for the bosses.

i've played lots of fighting games and i like them and think it works well in them. in plat forming games though it ends up frustrating me idk its just a personal thing i think. like i really hated the double-tap dash in castlevania; circle of the moon and it hosed me up a lot. im retarded at games and gay

Those blue drones are kinda easy once you use a power bomb on them.

be careful glitching the ones before the optional boss or they could end up in there with you.

It's not awful but I'd rather have a dedicated button for it over double tapping any day of the week.

those not-metroids in the next to last zone, when powerbombed, may:
a. turn purple and completely dumb
b. start flashing all sorts of bright colors, become enraged and deal double damage :) :) :) :) :) :)
