Psycho Cyan Bug
Talk2this wiki
The Psycho Cyan bug is a bug Final Fantasy VI. It is actually the combination of two bugs involving the Bushido technique Sky. The first bug allows Cyan to counter any physical attack dealt by any target if he is KOed and revived while in "Sky" status. The second bug occurs when Cyan is Imped while in "Sky" status. He counterattacks with a simple physical attack instead of Sky itself while Imped, and as such, "Sky" status never comes off. When these two bugs are combined, Cyan enters an infinite loop of attacking his opponents. Because he is imped, "Sky" status never comes off, and because he was revived after being KOed, he effectively attacks, and counter-attacks his own attack with another attack. The loop ends when all enemies on the screen are dead.
This bug was "fixed" in Final Fantasy VI Advance. However, it can still be done, albeit in a different way. First Cyan has to die. After being revived Cyan must perform Sky and if he is imped at this point he will go "Psycho Cyan." There is a bugfix patch that players can use to fix it on the SNES version, which fully corrects the bug unlike in the Advance version.
