oh hey, sniq released a new TAS that (I think) takes advantage of a variation of this glitch to do some arbitrary code execution
the submission notes on tasvideos go into some technical detail: https://tasvideos.org/8214S
basically, samus’s code is a state machine with ~200* different states (poses), and some weird edge cases in various interactions allow for stuff like animation arrays to be indexed out of bounds (to varying effects):
this TAS abuses an interaction known as poseglitching, which occurs when three attempted pose transitions occur on the same frame:
- Samus’s landing animation finishes, transitioning her into a standing pose.
- The player presses “jump”, transitioning Samus into a jumping pose.
- Knockback runs out, transitioning Samus into a falling pose.
When these transitions occur simultaneously, they all cancel each other out and none of the transitions actually take place:
- The landing transition recognizes that the player has pressed “jump”, and aborts.
- The jumping transition is cancelled due to the knockback transition.
- The knockback transition recognizes that the player has landed on the ground – interrupting the knockback animation – and aborts.
This causes Samus to remain in the “landing” pose. But this pose has already reached the last frame of its animation. which was supposed to end in a pose transition; skipping the transition causes the game to attempt to read past the end of the pose’s animation instructions, and into the instructions for the next pose.
chaos ensues
* for comparison, samus in metroid 2 has only 26 poses
