New patch: Upside Down Glitch fix
« on: April 23, 2016, 09:06:34 PM »
Hi everyone! Man, have I ever been busy today with these patches...

I've been discussing this with Xenovant: there are two instances (and possibly more I don't know about) in the game where enemies have to be flipped vertically. In these instances, the game tends to mishandle the enemy's horizontal flipping. One such instance is Sabin's Suplex, where the enemy's horizontal flip is reversed during the drop; the other is Rippler, where the enemy will shake its booty faster than a Nohrabbit on caffeine. This patch fixes both of these, but there may be more. If there are, don't hesitate to let me know.

Oh, great, I have been using the debugger for nothing, you have already fixed it :P  :happy:

I was thinking the fix would be messing with the routine at C1/CE8E, more exactly with $619D.

That was my first thought, too, but it turns out $619D keeps track of enemies that are being flipped vertically, not horizontally.
