Useful Glitches

Animationless Primary Weapon Attacks

  • Alucard can do an animationless regular attack on the frame after you stop crouching.
  • CV3-Alucard Animationless Attack.gif
    • Grant in the JP Version can perform a similar trick with his basic knife throwing attack.
    • Grant can cancel the attack animation by grabbing onto a wall.

    Animationless Sub Item Drop

    Frame perfect trick to skip sub item animation.

  • CV3-AnimationLess Sub Item Drop.gif
  • Double Block Hit

    • This trick can be done by both Trevor and Sypha by crouching and attacking and releasing crouch mid attack animation. Works on blocks, but unfortunately does not score a double hit on enemies. Grant can perform a similar trick with short hop + stab in the US version.
  • CV3-Double Whip Hit.gif
  • Stair Misalignment

    Stairs will bring you in a diagonal line to the next platform. As far as I know this was done well in the J version. In the U version you can offset the starting position and walk off the screen on some places.

    • Grant/Trevor character switch can be used to misalign on stairs in 9-01, allowing him to skip the majority of 9-01.
    • Sypha can misalign on stairs in 9-01 using ice on the fleemen, allowing her to skip the majority of 9-01.
    • Sypha can misalign on stairs at the end of the climb in 9-03 by using ice on the fuzzies.

    Wrong Warp(s)

    • A wrong warp which misaligns Grant on the stairs in stage 4-01 (the marsh) allows the player to travel through a glitch world to stage A much faster than it would take to play all of those stages.

    Grant Floor Clipping

    In some locations grant can jump/climb through the floor, to unintentionally skip areas of the game.

    • Grant can climb through the floor before the end of 4-0B
    • Grant can climb through the floor before the end of 5-0A

    Grant Vertical Scroll Breaking

    Grant Horizontal Scrolling

    Useless Glitches

    Animationless Primary Weapon Attacks

    • Grant can do an animationless regular attack on the frame after you stop crouching - however not fast enough RTA vs using a regular attack, but you can do a spiderman pose on the ground.
    • Sypha can do an animationless regular attack on the frame after you stop crouching - however it doesn't have any range.

    Grant Boss Wrap

    • Grant Wraps to the top of the screen and is more difficult to kill
