@Deswon_360 it was possible mostly because that game doesn't really have any game breaking glitches that are tas only, the speedrun itself also isn't super technical
It’s not too bad. You get better as you play them. You just gotta play smart. They Are a Heck of a lot of fun when you finally beat the boss that keeps beating the crap out of you too.
I am too. Lately I've been replaying ZM trying to get better, and I actually beat it last night 1h48m, with 48%. I'm watching this video now to get a better idea of 100% runs
taking the premise of samus "telling the story" is so funny "so then I backflipped up the side of the cavern, stopping halfway through to use my bombs to launch me out"
@@CreamDollYT Super feels way too old imo, the combat and mechanics just feel sluggish. Zero Mission feels even better than Fusion, everything just feels great, and the fights are less facetanky and more evady. The game is way too easy on normal difficulty, though, it's almost as much of a cakewalk as Prime on "normal mode" on Wii. I played Super first and after going back to it, the controls are horrible, like how switching between your missiles needs you to press select, and how LB and RB are for aiming up and down.
@@gu3z185 I see where you are coming from with controlling Samus I like playing it trying new things with the game and the music bosses and story is one of the best parts about playing this game
This is my favorite game to speedrun. Not to long, god tier pixel art and colors, amazing soundtrack, the best movement physics in the series, funnest/quickest to use items in the series, it’s just a blast. Wish we had more Metroid games in this style (AM2R does an amazing job at coming close to the feel of this game though).
@@blassx31 that’s bc you didn’t have any of those power ups in the original metroid but tbh I could have done without the whole chozodia section the game should have ended after mother brain like the first game
Even if I knew before watching what are the new glitches and new route, this was very impressing the level of optimization and workaround of this TAS are awesome. You did a great job!
If I ever had the chance to make an action game, I think my standard of fun would be "does it make the player feel like they're playing TAS Samus in her fully powered suit?"
28:12 this entire area caused an explosion in my head metroid door glitching was one thing, but then you used them as shinespark platforms !! I was honestly unsure what could've topped that for me The entire run is awesome, btw.
wetoddedd1 “We have finally realized our error, and have stopped placing caffeine in our energy tanks. While this will leave us with some disadvantages, we can feel safe knowing that the hunter will not be able to do any of that crazy stuff again.”
OK WHAT. At 25:03 Did he just measured pixel-precisely the space and timing to freeze the multiviola perfectly leveled with the floor so that he could step on it WHILE opening the door AND making sure to have enough momentum to make a speed boost ??
At the space pirates, cuz 1: they are using bio weapons and needs to be stopped 2: they killed some chozo who were residing on zebes (according to the metroid prime instruction manual) 3: being the ones responsible for her parents death
@@joester4life also according the instruction manual for prime the chozo left Tallon 4 right after they built the artifact temple so it is possible they are still thriving
Moments like that or like at the end waiting for Mecha-Ridley, you can just feel the impatience from the player/Samus. "C'mon, let's go, I haven't all day! Gotta get to that space pub while it's still happy hour!"
I think this is close to how would have actually gone in the Manga. Shows that Samus would be this skilled. After all, you can have the best paintbrush in the world, but if you don't know how to paint with it, whatever you make is still going to be crap on canvas.
I picture the enemies screaming in terror, "OH GOD! SHE'S COMING BACK!" Everytime she re-enters an area and turns everything around her into paste in the blink of an eye.
Right there with you bro, my most recent playthrough was last week, 74% in just under 4 hours lol, wasn't speeding tho I enjoy the game a lot, but there's so much movement tricks IDK how to do lol
I'm a casual player of this game, and have little knowledge about speedrunning, but after watching your video I realize how well you must know it. I'm amazed, Well Done.
Imagine being one of the Metroids.... Metroid: HAH! Now you are cornered at the door and we are the most dangerous creature in the galaxy! Samus: *Morphs thru the door.* Metroid: HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
Odd how the Space Pirates call Samus "The Hunter" and not "The Speedster" Yes, I know they call her The Hunter because she's a bounty hunter and she hunts down metroids

"On my way to fight Mother Brain"
"ALREADY!?"
"Not already. This took a long time... I am slow"
7:48 he literaly made Samus dance to Kraid's Lair lmao.
*Everyone liked that.*
Holy fuck I didn't notice, good shit
36:40 Most of my favorite parts of TAS runs are those glorious seconds when the player has to wait, but still has control of their character.
Damn, this 100% guide sure is hard to follow
It's a speedrun
@@ppheard1254 r/whooosh
I actually used a TAS of rayman advance to beat the game once lol.
@Deswon_360 it was possible mostly because that game doesn't really have any game breaking glitches that are tas only, the speedrun itself also isn't super technical
Well... this is a TAS not a guide, but I know what you mean XD
1:01:14 "Thanks for the ship, man."
Lmao
That Kraid kill was some TerminalMontage level annihilation
Hello fellow terminalmontage fan!

That wasn't a kill, that was an execution.
13:40 Chozo Pillar: Hey samus you wanna tes- Oh okay bye.
26:53 - Imagine going about your day, only to be obliterated by some super sonic ball coming from the wall.
Me when Samus becomes Sanic:
9:28 Turbo midair tea bag mode engaged.
Samus did pretty good for her first mission as a bounty hunter
love how they used a space pirate conga line to break the bomb blocks at 40:27
The man didn't need to style on them that hard
He speedboost on a metroid's head. He speedboost on a metroid's head!
HE SPEEDBOOST ON A METROID'S HEAD
CHAD
Naw, that's just an average Tuesday for TAS Samus.
59:33 the real reason they keep taking away Samus’ power ups between games.
she has her 2nd amendment rights
I like the ironic touch that the TAS ends with zero missiles, zero super missiles, and zero power bombs in its inventory.
It is Zero Mission after all
watching boss fights on speedruns is the funniest shit i've ever seen,they just show up and get fucking obliterated by a thousand missiles.
25:03 freezing that red orb enemy to use as part of the platform... now _that_ is a "had to be rng manipulation" moment if i've ever seen one
It looked clean but you are absolutely correct
Nope, that orb will always go there!
I was gonna comment on the same thing but checked if someone commented on it first. Either the orb always goes there or the timing in too perfect lol
56:10
Ok now THAT was awesome
casually passing a missile
Faster than a speeding missle
Racing le rocket
I watched through on 25% speed several times and couldn't even see the frame where he shoots it.😅
Acid Worm: Ah, you've finally come for me...
Samus: Nah, just what's under you.
I'm so terrible at the 2d metroid games but I love them this is just insane
You're not alone. Metroid isn't a game for everyone, but I happened to have a knack for it early on. I still love the metroid series.
It’s not too bad. You get better as you play them. You just gotta play smart. They Are a Heck of a lot of fun when you finally beat the boss that keeps beating the crap out of you too.
This game is really really easy on Normal mode, I'd give it a shot.

This is what happens when you give Samus caffeine.
Imagine her on crack

No, a bottle of whisky

I laughed so hard at this 😂

taking the premise of samus "telling the story" is so funny
"so then I backflipped up the side of the cavern, stopping halfway through to use my bombs to launch me out"

Also Samus: *agressive wall climbing*
22:05
Damn that ending with little Samus' drawing makes me all emotional and stuff
I wasn't aware it was even *theoretically* possible to one cycle the worm. Only a few minutes in and my mind is blown.
At least we can say Kraid tried lmao
I like to imagine that the humorous space pirate logs in the Prime series, were from the few survivors of this run.

It is a TAS, so they can do just about anything... so most likely, yes
30:03 End of ACT 1 (Spoilers)
37:11 End of ACT 2
ah yes, Zero Mission, AKA "Samus is fuckin' pissed"

39:00 that one space pirate just hiding in the shadows tho
Mate, I’d b hiding too.
He said “nah”
@@Samxsonite505 "I don't get paid enough for this"
Definitely when samus uses TAS she looks like a video game goddess

Right there with you bro, my most recent playthrough was last week, 74% in just under 4 hours lol, wasn't speeding tho I enjoy the game a lot, but there's so much movement tricks IDK how to do lol
I feel the same, but I was here for that, I wanted to see this game in it's fully 100%
Reminds me of how on my first run I was so convinced I found most of the secrets and felt so clever... 57%
You never cease to amaze with these TAS Runs, Dragonfangs.
Keep up the Amazing Work!
Coffeetroid: Zero Sugar
I can't imagine WITH sugar
Jajaja Buena esa quedo genial...😂
18:09 im sorry, what??
It's a special reposition glitch.
He does it a couple times later too, using a frozen enemy to glitch through an otherwise impassible barrier
EndlessFusionist the later glitches, although they include frozen enemies, are a different mechanic altogether
I liked how, as he ran past the charge beam, he shot it like, "Nah maybe on my way back." Funny af!!!
I'm a casual player of this game, and have little knowledge about speedrunning, but after watching your video I realize how well you must know it.

"I'm getting to the bottom of this 😤"
Hears ridley...
"ok no 🙃"
59:43 that ridley certaintly looked like a bunch of scrap. Its hilarious
As someone who just beat this game for the first time, watching this was cathartic. Thanks you.
Kudos to that one space pirate who grabs the power bomb tank. For him to still be outrunning *this* Samus...
Employee of the month
Everyone loves Samus! (Except Mother Brain and the space pirates.)
25:00 you literally used the enemy for personal gain lmao
Ridley's like "Rahrrr! Augh, I'm dying! What the hell?!"
Also: Samus. So hot right now.
Even the required speed booster techniques stop me from attempting to 100% this game, this TAS puts those to shame.
100% makes me appreciate the game way more but I usually only do it once or twice per game
In Metroid prime, the space pirates described Samus as demon
In this run, it all makes sense
I love this game so much! It holds a special place in my heart! Totally killed the gameplay awesome to watch thank you lol 😆

this is probably the funniest tas ive seen
I’ll be honest, never knew you could go back to the main game post-Mother Brain.
I’m so impressed and blown away
And here's me, not even knowing you could kill those flying shell creatures with a super missile.
25:02 the enemy placement for the speed. Wow.
Was wondering if someone would notice
When you were in morphball and spring balling over the pirate's lasers 😂😂😂
Varia suit and high jump: Am I a joke to you?
Samus: haha bomb go Brrrrrrrr
When you were in kraids mouth after killing him and continuously going up and down, was that like the tas of teabagging?
Watching this is better than watching a movie !
Totally agree
Terminal Montage should make an animation out of this
Pixel kun He totally should! It’s like he made one before you made this comment or something!
He made one for super metroid. I'm sure he would considering how fast this game is

>Sit down to watch Metroid zero mission gameplay.
