objects_some_anim increments by $C every time you hit him, and Obj_various_cnt increments until it overcomes the messed up value of objects_some_anim (SHIFT(XOR(a, 0xf0), 1) + 0x10), then a jump happens and Obj_various_cnt resets. The speed and direction are random, but you can't get vertical speed other than 5 or 7.
tl;dr: doesn't look manipulatable.
EDIT:
After RoboManus we're
02:30.37 ahead.
Man I can't believe it happened, miracles exist!
More yoku platforms to come though...
