Bayonetta - small lock-on glitch
23This is just a re-upload of an old glitch in better quality.
Bayonetta's stance glitches up if you hold lock-on with her, then switch weapon sets to something else. She aims with the new weapon using the animation of the old weapon.
This is nothing too special by itself, but the combination of switching from Durga to anything that uses the default aiming stance (Handguns, Shotguns, etc.) while walking has a more severe effect: now stopping moving or aiming causes the game to crash.
Also, if Bayonetta finds a target while in this glitchy targeting mode, she starts gliding around the place and you can't control her movement. Her animation is frozen, which looks pretty fun for a while. Moving into cutscenes or doing any attacks just ends the glitch safely.
I'm still interested in trying to break this game sooner or later... It honestly has some of the more interesting game mechanics out there.
This was played on PS3 patch 1.01.
