** Out of many examples, it can be "trapped" in several locations by having Samus stay in particular locations (such as hiding in specific corners with the Morph Ball). The SA-X will then continue to repeat an action such as somersaulting repeatedly with the [[Screw Attack]], trying to hit Samus to no avail. | ** Out of many examples, it can be "trapped" in several locations by having Samus stay in particular locations (such as hiding in specific corners with the Morph Ball).

** | ** There are times where Samus can easily take rest on a high ledge inside certain rooms during specific encounters (Sectors 6, 5 and the second encounter at Sector 2), and the SA-X will always try to hit Samus physically, instead of jumping a bit higher than needed and occasionally trying to shoot her if she's further away. | ||
*** Depending on the distance Samus is close towards the SA-X, it may always use a normal standing Ice Beam shot; an example is that during the encounter at Sector 5, if Samus attracts its attention with a Power Bomb and hides near the opening of the tunnel in Morph Ball form, the SA-X will never aim upward when close enough despite the height difference. | |||
** When hiding from it, the SA-X may also have its attention attracted when Samus does something to do so; most of the time the SA-X will not bother to search around extensively and will peacefully walk on. Doing so repeatedly will always cause the SA-X to keep looking around, but will not cause it to make a move unless Samus reveals herself. | ** When hiding from it, the SA-X may also have its attention attracted when Samus does something to do so; most of the time the SA-X will not bother to search around extensively and will peacefully walk on.
