10 Classic Video Game Glitches That Allowed Us All To Cheat

3. Final Fantasy VI - Psycho Cyan

This glitch does just what the name implies - it makes Cyan go crazy and slaughter his enemies ruthlessly - and it's extremely simple and astoundingly easy to do. The greatest aspect of this glitch is that it has no drawbacks, such as freezing the game or corrupting the save file.

In theory the player could do this glitch for almost every battle, gaining an automatic win with very little time. In order to do this glitch Cyan must use Retort, be turned into an Imp, and killed with a physical blow (he can be weakened with Magic attacks, but the killing blow must be physical. If Cyan is attacked physically before he is killed, he must use Retort again). Now revive the dead, Imped Cyan, and have anyone use the Fight command. Cyan will begin to attack over and over again.

This glitch combines two other glitches. One is that if Cyan is killed by a physical blow while having the "Retort" status, when revived he will use Retort in response to any attack, even one that does not hit him. He'll use Retort even if he himself attacks. The second glitch is that an Imped Cyan cannot use Retort, so he will use a normal attack instead.

By combining these glitches, "Psycho" Cyan goes into an infinite loop, attacking and responding to his own attack with another attack, over and over, until all the enemies are dead. Here is a demonstration of the glitch in action:
