The Grid (Riku)
- Enter Light Cycle
-A Visual Display of what the method should look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO8aFd_Yn9w
- There are two methods to doing this exploit/glitch, one is trickier than the other. In order to do this glitch, you will need to plant yourself in between Commantis' body and arms. To do this you must use the tactic of pressing Square to change modes back and forth, this will increase Riku's speed on the Light Cycle.

Getting parallel to Commantis can happening while he's attacking up close and/or while turning a corner. This exploit is much easier for turning a corner because he can whiff his attack much easier in order for you to reach your destination. If you choose to do this without wanting to wait for a corner to turn, just be weary to not get hit as you'll be staggered and cannot accelerate for a couple seconds.

Now use this method until you're parallel to Commantis and you must slide yourself into his arms as you're parallel to him, then change into Laser Mode and you have a free fight as Commantis is now stuck because you're in an area the game in unable to detect you for the AI to respond properly.
