Got it.  Funny how those things work, right?

For curiosity's sake, any clues as to why it's Shadow Man specifically?  In all my time spent there, I can't remember weapon energy or tanks spawning faster than rabbits like these Yashichis do.  I spent all night trying this out on other maps (you know, like a normal person would) and was only able to pull it off on MM5DAR, but even then there were no more than 6 Yashichis and they certainly never increased in number.

So one particularly interesting problem I'm having is with the Evil Yashichis.  For reasons I cannot begin to explain, I've only been able to produce this bug on Shadow Man's stage despite great effort in recreating it elsewhere.

Every now and again, the Evil Yashichis spawn out of control.  I'd say it's maybe one game in 30 or 40, but when it happens the screen is quickly littered with easily several thousand Yashichis all floating around trying to kill the only player in the match (me).  Try as I might I have yet to successfully produce a screenshot, because there are so many Yashichis multiplying so quickly that the game locks up almost instantly.  My current plan is to just take a picture of my screen with an actual camera (what is this, the 80s?) and use that as reference, but it happens so infrequently that it always catches me off guard.

My first theory was that it relates to Dead Rising, and that instead of zombies it was spawning Yashichis.  However, I've recreated this bug without Dead Rising active, and the Yashichis multiply into the tens of thousands within a few seconds.  The zombies certainly don't do that (though you wouldn't know it from looking).  I've seen it happen about 6 or 7 times now, always on Shadow Man and always with Evil Yashichi active (duh).  I don't doubt it can happen on other stages, but I have had no luck with Gyro Man or Charge Man so far.

Anyone else experience anything like this?  I think it's greatly amusing, to be honest.

As a side note, I've noticed that only about 40 or so will spawn at first.  It is not until I die at least once that the spawning gets way out of line.

EDIT:
Suddenly I've got screenshots out the wazoo.  Some of these I've had to take with my phone camera because the game locked up.  That last one is my favorite.
Maybe something is wrong with me, but reproducing this is kind of fun.
