May have discovered a useful glitch?

I was playing through dread mode and stumbled upon a weird warping glitch while fighting the chozo soldier in Ghavoran. At first, I thought it was just a fluke but then it happened AGAIN after a continue which leads me to believe it's some kind of storage-based glitch that might come in handy to skip shinespark set-ups in runs if we can uncover a reliable way of performing it.

As you can see from the second clip, I was able to perform a regular jump again after the initial warp.

As for how I may have set it up, I did perform a shinespark in the previous room to the underside of the island with two enkys blocking the path and then made my way onto that island, destroyed the enkys, and slid down the magnetic wall on the right to the door that leads to the save room before the fight.

Also if it's relevant, the only abilities I haven't picked up in this run are:

  • pulse radar
  • cross bombs
  • power bombs
  • storm missiles
  • space jump
  • wave beam

Not that it will help much, but I also have an old clip of this same thing happening to me https://twitter.com/BlitzSchwert/status/1493836027114385408?s=20&t=3D8lx0qZxtvMjWg0ZDdZ2g

This is a weird one for sure (i have no relevant information on this, just found it interesting)

This is unique for that boss room. Normally, you would enter it from that top entrance, but since you begin it from the side entrance, jumping around that area will trigger you to fall into the room like you normally would through the usual route.

That's neat. Had a feeling that it was something specific to that room.
