Strange Egg Mobile Behavior

[FlashbackGuy]

I'm currently working on a video showcasing my speedruns of all of Greenflower Zone with Jana, and when running GFZ3, I noticed an odd quirk with the Egg Mobile. I don't know how to properly explain it, so I'm just going to show it.

(Don't ask why I added Kingdom Hearts music in editing, I thought it fit.)

Is there any reason why this is occurring? My guess is that it could be a bug in the code, but I don't really know.

What's the quirk here?

It seems that double-hitting Eggman with the saber skips the part during his I-frames where he flies away from you, though you can still hear the relevant sound effect.

That’s what I think is happening.

No this is normal, it's part of how Doom works. Back when he would fly at you I would do this by Spin Dashing in place lol

Oh, I see.

Just so I understand better, this is just a strange oddity with how Doom works, right?

As far as I can tell, what's basically happening is the sound effect is playing because the code used to make him fly away from you is still functioning and he is attempting to do so, but the movement is getting canceled because he gets hit again before he has a chance to move and he's scripted to stop moving for a moment when taking a hit. This effectively has him locked in place until he runs out of HP.

Thank you for this information!

You don't mind if I regurgitate it word for word when explaining what's going on in the actual video, right?

I won't sue you or anything, but it is just a guess so keep that in mind.
