Super Metroid Map Completion in 1:34:55
I hadn't gotten a new PB in over two years, and it showed right out of the gate as I had to redo Ceres. The PB turned out to have a strong early game at the time and I fell behind, and then traded shambles with PB through gravity (technically I was ahead there having already collected the moat tiles). From there, my greater experience with the game now paid off as most of my timesave came from better pathing through the rooms. Practicing some of the trickier rooms beforehand helped. This PB may not stand long as I am preparing to race mapo, but it was nice to get the 1244 confirmation.
The thumbnail may look like a mistake, but it is actually one of the more optimal ways to collect all of the mama turtle tiles. Most optimal is to bonk here while slightly further right so you collect the right half of the tiles on the way up, but it's a tight window for that one.

Super Metroid GT Spacetime in 16:27

Good enough for now. A 15:xx is just within reach but it would take a grind, and until I am more consistent at bootless lava dive, I do not think it would be a fun grind. This run features a new ending as shown in the thumbnail, found by antimatterhorse. You can fire the third spacetime shot right here in the tunnel instead of going to the next room with the kihunters. You also transition right...

My first valid GT Spacetime run... and it was trash. I just didn't have time to reset it and of course it was the first one that I finished since returning to GT Spacetime. I did have three prior completed runs, but they were all with modified firmware which is not permitted. There is now a spacetime software patch we can use for valid runs. In particular this run lost a bunch of time due to ge...
Super Metroid 46'15" Ceres Escape
Переглядів 21День тому
Since moving my computer to a new location, I've been wanting to improve all of my personal bests, so getting a new Ceres PB was convenient. Over 2.5 years since my first 46 Ceres and I still don't get very many (granted that one 46 was a significant outlier at the time; now I threaten 46 Ceres more often). Whenever I get one it is a low 46; I do believe this is my best Ceres escape. The funny ...

1:0x is achievable, but I'm pretty happy with this personal best for now. The biggest shambles were still in Maridia (jump-morphing on the way back to aqueduct of all things), but overall far fewer shambles than the two prior PBs. This one was strange because I don't usually have that much trouble with the jump-morph (including earlier in the run on the way to Draygon), but still I could have j...

If you want to know what a damageless Ridley fight looks like, then look no further. That thumbnail with the few drops from Ridley is the evidence that no health or missiles were lost in this fight, which is important when we enter with no gravity suit and just one reserve tank. Ridley's energy tank is the first tank I collect on this route; one of several neat challenges presented by the Chozo...

This run was great except for one section. I tried to capture the moment where Samus is turning in the sand. This is not what you want; you can fall right through. I went from about two minutes ahead of PB to under ten seconds ahead... and then still finished almost two minutes ahead of PB. If I could replace this run from aqueduct entry to draygon entry, this would be a 1:0x pace run. Still th...

This was actually my first try at bootless in GT Classic and I went 2-for-2, with first-try GGG both times... that might be the first time I've busted out a new route and not fallen on my face the first night of attempts LMAO.

Second completed run and much, much happier about this one. The previous run had some terrible mistakes in the early portions, which were funny at the time but quickly soured.

I was originally planning to route similar to RBO and use CF spikesuit to bluesuit to escape draygon. However I was worried about the lower HP I would have, and after chatting with Tilimorf I decided to go for the x-ray climb escape instead. This caused the routing in this run to not make much sense. I also threw in xray dboost on the fly. It's a trick I have practiced extensively, but not rece...

Thumbnail says it all about this run. This was the second large mistake made just in the early game. Going forward (outside of races) I'll be less likely to take saves in the early going, so the next PB *should* be much better there. This run did have a third-try Ridley segment and first-try Draygon, so the run does get better as it goes. Hi! I am a Super Metroid speedrunner. You can find me on...

      ty! I'd forgotten how clutch this fight was XD For the longest time I exclusively hit MB with angle up shots (in any category) and that led to me optimizing being on the ground more with lower jumps. This strategy was helpful for low ice. Now I also try shooting MB horizontally in the air, but for low ice I should return to that angle-up-shots-only mode because being on the ground is key for survival in this fight.

    • @idlechild6940
      @idlechild6940 Рік тому

      As you're probably aware, when you kill enemies in Super Metroid, most of them drop health or ammo. In the No Drops category, we add a restriction that you cannot collect any drops in the game. PDRK just refers to the boss order (Phantoon, Draygon, Ridley, Kraid). I've been trying out different boss orders; I'm currently working on PKDR but may switch to PKRD or PRKD in the future. I believe PRKD is the most optimal but also the most difficult, unless I start going out of my way to collect more energy tanks (at least those are allowed thankfully!) Refilling at the ship or at recharge stations is also allowed.

  • @UNHchabo
    @UNHchabo Рік тому

    If you accidentally warp to Parlor, opening the door requires an angled shot for some reason. Then because the slope blocks are "springy" as you can see there, you generally need to downgrab the doorframe once it's open to get through.

    • @InsaneFirebat
      @InsaneFirebat Рік тому

      There's an easy backup warp you can do from Terminator too. Stand on the first plant on the floor, biased toward the left side. Charge up the endgame spacetime shot and fire it up-left. As soon as the beam is fired, start holding left. You'll land in Green Pirate Shaft and need to jump over Terminator Etank on your way back to the ship. It loses around 20 seconds vs the tube-side warp.

  • @ThePerfectKiosk
    @ThePerfectKiosk Рік тому

    For context, the No Drops category prohibits collecting any drops from enemies, of any sort. No glitches are allowed. There is a mod that can be used to make it easier to detect when you've picked something up by accident.

    • @idlechild6940
      @idlechild6940 2 роки тому

      I mapped dash to L, which means I don't have angle down mapped to anything. This is why most of the time when I'm arm pumping, you only see Samus' arm go between neutral and angle up. n00b bridge is an exception where I am using the dpad to angle down (holding down-right) the whole time so arm pumping goes between angle up and angle down. In both cases, this is less efficient than if I had both angle down and angle up mapped; it's better if Samus is alternating among neutral, angle down and angle up. However it's just easier on my hands/grip if I avoid putting dash on a face button.

      Yes. You can play the practice rom on snes9x (choose the version without savestates since you can use the snes9x for savestates instead). Use the practice rom to learn the timing. Then switch the normal rom and you can use the same timing and get short charges in the original Super Metroid game.
