ITT: Enemies that make you lose your shit

Pic related, this enemy type in Metroid is one I have a bitch of a time figuring out. They're too dangerous to let live and a really risky enemy to fight, since if you don't stunlock it with a vertical beam, it's coming right at you.

Burrito ghosts spawning on top of you while you're climbing a ladder.

Burritos spawning just above your head and dropping a pitchfork straight onto you.

Burrito ghosts spawning in the middle of floors where you can't reach their hitbox, but they sure as fuck can reach yours.

Big guys that park themselves right on the ladder you need to climb up and stay there until you don't have enough time to complete the level.

Big guys that walk away from the ladder you need to climb only to change their minds at the last second and rush you leaving you with not enough distance on them to get in the ten fucking hits you need to kill them.

Boss rematches in retardedly narrow spaces where you don't have a chance in hell of defending yourself from certain attacks, leaving you at the mercy of the RNG.

Poor enemy placement, actually. According to Zone0 there's actually one mantis enemy (I forget the "real" name) in Metropolis Zone 2 or 3 that is literally UNAVOIDABLE unless you choose some esoteric bullshit route through the level that triggers some obscure ASM routine that prevents it from spawning. For years before this discovery was made it was actually thought the enemy in question randomly failed to spawn.

Simply walk back and forth rapidly. You will "shake" it off (won't even have to fight it afterwards). No, I have no idea how anyone would've known this, it's some Carnival Night-tier stupidity.

They stay on the ground until you jump, so take a short hop and start shooting. If you don't get it on its way back up, wait for it to come back down and shoot it from below.

>>2288149
>>2288218
Don't rush. Stop where you are when you see the falcons and either slash at them when they're in front of you or duck, turn around, and wait for them to come back to slash with your sword.

The falcons are actually pretty simple to deal with.

>castlevania 3 has a hard mode?

Yeah, it unlocks when you beat it. That's your reward for beating that ball-busting game, you get to play an even harder version of it.

>why does it even need one?

Lots of games did that back then when you beat them. Castlevania 1 did it too.

>> No.2290161

>>2288040
Aside from people mentioning they rise when you jump, you can also catch them with a horizontal stunlock or just use a missile on them or if you have ice beam freeze them and continue on your way or just run by them and ignore them because they aren't too dangerous to let live. Shit respawns and freezes on the edge screens anyway in Metroid. The flyers out of pipes are generally more of a nuisance than they are even, but still not even terrible. The only real terrible fuckers in Metroid are those fucking nonstop rinka in motherbrains room.

Another pro-tip: Squall has default 255% hitrate. For whatever reason the Dev's decided they didn't want him missing. Ever. If Squall is under the blind status he still has 100% chance to hit everything in the game.

Each eagle only has 1 trajectory it can fly at. If you have literally any of the subweapons it's almost impossible to get hit by it.
