KONAMI TYPO IN CV3! They ARE human after all!

In 8-bit programming, the inverse of 8 is F8.

8 ^ FF + 1

Knowing that makes it easy to spot the hit box detection values in a game. But Konami typoed in their code! The boring armored suits that just walk back and forth in CV3 have a 1 pixel larger hit box than other enemies when checking for walls. The left bounds are x-9 and the right bounds are x+8. (F7 and 8)


Shame on you Konami! I expected better than this.  >:(

So armored suits are 1 pixel more vulnerable perhaps they are hurt by a close wind stream I dunno.

...and all those years CVIII was my favorite NES game. It's the end of an era for sure.  ;D

I'd have to say Congratulations!! You found an error that Konami's staff had let slip by for almost 30 years!  ;)
