Something I recently realized about the trio is that they loosely represent the elemental Trinity. Rundas is obviously Ice, as most of you guessed, and his cool attitude. Ghor is Fire, since he gives the Plasma Beam and kinda fits with fire in his personality: with his normal self, he's like a gentle candle, A beacon of light for the downtrodden, but when he's in his armorsuit, he behaves more like a destructive, growing inferno. Gandrayda would be electricity, as she drops the Grapple Voltage, as well as being a sparky youth that the Federation can't even get a grasp on what exactly she is.
I feel like it was stated somewhere that you were originally supposed to get back the three beams from prime 3 as rewards for defeating each hunter: the Ice Beam from Rundas, Plasma from Ghor, Wave from Gandrayda. The Ice Beam was separated into Ice Missiles because of the beam stacking mechanic (Plasma + Ice didnt make sense anymore), but I guess the Wave Beam was scrapped because the devs wanted to try making an all new beam. Honestly, the Nova Beam probably does everything the Wave Beam was planned to do, just in a different color. It's a shame the Grapple Voltage isn't as good as the other two elemental powers, though. You can't use it on enemies a lot, and when you can it usually costs a _lot_ of HP.
Lets not forget Ghor's incredible ability of combining with any machinery or the fact that Gandrayda is well made out of some electrical substance that allows her to shape shift. The guys from Corruption have some pretty cool concept on their designs
They did a good job making these guys feel like proper allies, especially Rundas. They're actually pretty useful with Ghor and Gandrayda fighting off the Pirates and Rundas activating one of the generators and saving Samus from the shaft. I also really love Rundas's interactions with Samus, almost making them seem like old friends. Makes it so much sadder when you know what happens. Also no disrespect to Gandrayda, but I'm kinda salty that she got a spirit in Smash Ultimate and Rundas and Ghor didn't.
Rundas was my favorite too. I mean, I think Nintendo did that on purpose since Rundas is the first one that... you know... Man. Metroid ended up killing a character I actually cared about and felt sad momentarily...
I do think it was intentional for your o confront Rundas first, it helped put in perspective what Phazon could do. If it corrupted a proud and rightful mind like Rundas, what horror could it have made on somewhat with a complex like Gandrayda or maybe the grudges that Ghor could have kept bottled up.
The worst is that at the end of the fight he wake up of the mental control but dark samus forces him to... make the worst thing possible to him. He was my favorite character and I was a kid when I saw it. Everyone hate dark samus after this I think
I wish Metroid had more reoccurring characters and development. Outside Ridley and Samus, there really aren’t any characters who consistently exist in more than one game. The ones who do seem interesting are either killed off or forgotten about. The reoccurring characters we do have are either silent protagonist (which is fine when done right) or animalistic killing machine (something Metroid has a LOT of). This, coupled with how flat many of the existing characters seem, makes the Metroid universe feel a little bit....I don’t know...hollow to me. I’d love to see the Metroid universe be given more care, depth, and lore! It certainly deserves it. I really feel like there are enough pieces already in place to make a sprawling, exciting universe of dynamic, lasting characters; we just need someone to start sewing the pieces together. It would just be a dream come true if we could one day see a Metroid universe with more than just a couple generic factions like “Galactic Federation” and “Space Pirates”.
This! I'm a lore junkie and I only recently got into the Metroid Series. One of my favourite bits from Prime 3 was early on, having Rundas save Samus and seeing Ghor kick a Berserker Lord's ass - just neat stuff ^^
You know, I've been thinking about what a metroid netflix series would be like from the same people who did castlevania (thus completing the metroidvania netflix). I didn't consider if it would take place in the same timeline or a new timeline, but I did consider the characters. Among them I think Samus and Ridley would reflect one another as mostly silent but only speaking during key points. In terms of characters I figured Rundas would be a fun one to have as something of a mild comedic relief and occasional ally to Samus. I also had this idea that Samus would have an accent that she picked up from being raised by the chozo, adding a bit of an exotic and mystical element to her character.
I would love to see a Metroid RTS. No Samus, or even if she had to be in there, as a special type of mission for the player. Instead you could use the Federation, the Kriken Empire, the Space Pirates, or even the origin Species of the Space Pirates. About the last part, I like to think that the Space Pirates must have come from somewhere, they are still just Pirates. And I have my own ideas how their more civil brethren could look like ^^
@@TurKlack_Oh no no no no no no, here's an idea._ An MMO RPG, but not just any MMO. *The Metroid equivalent of "Star Wars: The Old Republic".* _Eh~?_ _EH~?_ 😉
I seem to remember reading somewhere that his personality shifts when he's in his battlesuit, becoming more hostile and violent, but idk exactly where. Might be a scan somewhere.
I think all the hunters from both games have awesome concepts and designs. I would also be interested in Weavel, since apparently he left the pirates and thought Samus on a previous occasion, or Spire trying to find any of his kind in the universe
Spire is also pretty cool and Kanden too, a bioweapon created by a mad scientist somewhere in the galaxy. Man, Hunters created some of the best lore for the Metroid franchise, wish it had a bigger campaign an better bosses.
Considering that Sylux could possibly be a villain in the next game, I think we could perhaps see something like Hunters 2 With a proper control and a deeper lore as seen in the main trilogy, i think it could be an exciting installment in the franchise
Smasherfan88 you are correct, Kensule Tanabe (producer of the Prime Trilogy) said that Sylux's ship (Delano 7) was chasing Samus at the 100% ending of MP3 He mentioned this on a nintendo direct back in 2016 - i made mention of this in some of my other videos in case you were curious
@@olsonbryce777 No, much as the beloved Metroid-style seclusion is a staple of this series, they're never gonna properly flesh out the Metroid universe without proper dialogue. Regardless of the hate people have for Other M, you can't deny that it provided some much needed exposition on some plot elements. The only big worry is whether or not the dialogue is done well. If it is, then there's really nothing to complain about.
Rundas is my favorite character too!! I want to mention a needlessly complex statement in defense/elaboration of his character. While his cockiness is clearly seen in the game and his bio states he sees himself without rivals, the way he interacts with Samus doesn't really seem too much to be him one upping her, rather he perhaps identifies her as something close to an equal; "between the two of us this should be a breeze". Not to mention when you encounter him on Bryyo he's for the entirety of that time silent, not a single word ushered from him even up to his battle with Samus. As well, his death left many fans to spawn their own theories as to why he (supposedly) killed himself. Some claim he deliberately did it to prevent dark Samus from further Corruption or dark Samus lost control over him and used his abilities to prevent Samus having an ally in ruining her plans. Or that he simply did it by accident as he looks disoriented and confused after Samus beats him (hence not fully controlling his abilities). But the ONE thing that generates so many theories about him is the player finds out he's corrupted. Both Ghor and Gandrayda have their personalities emulating while still corrupted but for Rundas his corruption shows dark Samus emulating in ghost like silhouette over him. It's as if to say he required dark samus' full attention to corrupt; that Rundas was (in terms of will strength) the strongest out of the three. And the way he looked around the arena after you beat him, it was almost as if he had absolutely no idea at what was going on. But that's just me over thinking 😅
Don't worry, I agree with your point of view of things! I just saw the "one-upping" as more of a friendly rivalry, such has the "now you owe me one" or that it seems he is trying to tell you things (when he tells you about the ship and maintenance back up) feels a little on the "I knew them first" and perhaps him going to generator B and calling you after he was done could be interpreted on a show-off way. And I think a little of his arrogance shows "Never would have happened If I where there" "....Justice will prevail and all that stuff..." In regards to after the corruption, I always took it has if the Phazon was prying/feeding on the inner demons of each of the hunters. In the case of Rundas maybe it finally revealed his 'true' colors of the competition with Samus, staying silent waiting for the right moment to attack. Sorta like if he was stalking her, until he was freed for a moment that allowed him to honorably die in the battlefield.
In the end, I tried to stick a little more to what the scans said about each character, since its a bit more of the canon (if you can call it that) for any newcomers to the series, but I do feel a lot of the personalities of each hunter can be perceived differently (Ghor really never showed that sense of humor) and that was is fun about it! Thanks for sharing your opinion, I never meant to make Rundas seem like a bad influence or so
The Orpheon oh no it's not that I was saying your opinion on him was wrong or anything. I just wanted to expand on the character a little more considering he is the one you mostly interact with out of the other hunters. I mean sure he's definitely cocky but I always saw as someone who (to some extent) respected samus. But like I said, that's just me. Also you deserve alot more subs.
Don't worry, didn't take it the wrong way! I was also just clarifying/or explaining my logic for the explanation in the video, just to make sure. I agree that regardless of what happened, Rundas did have a big respect for Samus (after all, her reputation precedes her with how the other GF troopers react to her presence) and that is what so cool about it.
Thank you for the support, and don't worry, more videos will be coming in the near future. If you like my content, please consider sharing the videos and channel, the extra exposure will be greatly appreciated.
I wish sakurai and the nintendrones would stop making excuses and just put Ridley in already he's iconic enough there's mods and the melee intro that show the size debate is not a problem and frankly we need something other than 25 fire emblem characters and 7 palate swaps of pit
MadCap If they ever put him, they're gonna nerf the shit outta him like they did to Samus. Samus is seriously the best character Nintendo has. So bad ass and elite, but sucks in smash. I don't get it.
0h. scar I could talk for hours on this stupid subject why the fuck is samus actually more powerful without her suit in smash? It's so stupid none to mention that yeah like you said it she's nerfed to fuck very slow and clunky despite actually being fast and agile in metroid
MadCap I hate it. Nintendo would rather buff and break 3rd party characters. Like, dude, Samus has advanced tech and went through rigorous training-- all done by elite warrior race aliens. I mean, they did say Samus was the strongest, I guess they just nerfed her b4 giving us the game.
Gandrayda was like the metroid character of X-Men with shape-shifting abilities. Rundas was like Iceman with ice abilities. Ghor was like Cyclops although a 94% cyborg and due to him using lasers. Despite their deaths they could have made an appearance as fighters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. If Dark Samus can be resurrected in Ultimate why can't these three hunters. A man can only dream.
0:38 - 0:41 "Heh... those were the days when Metroid had some love." Literally one month later Nintendo announced Prime 4 and Samus Returns, so they practically grabbed your foot and crammed it in your mouth. The one time a Metroid rumor was true and it was when no one believed. I still had hope. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Loved the humor like someone constantly asking you about planet names. That's what happens to me whenever anyone asks me about clarification about Metroid lore. Anon: Hey, how long was Samus in the military? Me: We. Don't. Know. Get used to that. It's like Blaz Blue except there's just a lack of info instead of the plot being bat shit insane. Rundas is my favorite as well and my hopeful pick for another Metroid character in Smash. These three hunters were in one game but they're fan favorites. Didn't expect the video to end as serious and concise as it did. Bravo my dude.
Yeah I'm not complaining with Nintendo proving me wrong with those surprise announcements (very happy that they made me eat my own words) I am very happy to hear you enjoyed the video, I am always working my best to give you the best viewing experience I can offer (and creating some sort of little narrative within the videos) P.S. Really hope Rundas makes into Smash... or any other Metroid character (at this point I'm desperate enough to even accept Adam)
1:54 For some reason i really want to see Ghor's (or Gor i dont remember how you spell it) "Just in time" to become a meme now (aside from that i just wanna say good vid)
@@TheOrpheon I think it does have the potential to become a good meme. But could you please hold back on putting it in your videos all the time? It gets annoying a little bit easily.
EVERYONE MEET THESE THREE NEW AMAZING CHARACTERS THAT WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE EVERYTHING OF THE FRANCHISE, AND WILL MAKE IT GO ONE STEP FURTHER BEYOND. btw they all die at the same time k bye
I wasn't really sad that they died. I was more sad that we hardly got any time with these guys at all. Most Metroid games are lonely and all that, so to see the potential these three had (mainly Rundas) get snuffed out so fast after meeting them was a real bummer
@@TheOrpheon 3 years late, but what the hell, Smash doesn't really have a lot of single game side characters in it. It has some single game characters, but typically those are main characters. The only one that really is kinda obscure is Shiek, but that's largely because she was from the most famous and popular Zelda game and was brought on when the game was still somewhat fresh. So incorporating a side character which is only in one game where the die and can't return is a bit weird for them.
I like how you go through the characters as you should have fought them by their interaction to Samus rundas was the only one that didn't fight here nor degrade her in any way which makes his fight more heartbreaking
They should have had a much longer section at the beginning that had the player interact with the hunters a lot more before they all turned evil. Maybe a few missions before the attack on Norion.
If ever a Remastered of Prime 3 happens, I wonder if they could add 2 or 2 "Side Quests" in the very beginning of the game just for that? Though I have no idea how they could implement them.
Samus while being saved after Ridley fight: "Oh no, Rundas is so cool. He'll definitely upstage me and steal the spotlight. I have to make sure he dies before this game ends,"
If they are gonna be in Smash Bros, maybe Nintendo could make a pack of fighters like they did with Pokémon trainer where you have pretty much 3 characters in 1 and you could call them The Corrupted Hunters
I hope Prime 4 expands on the idea of more Bounty Hunters, both friendly ones and not-so friendly ones. Maybe even introduce successors of the deceased Hunters in Corruption. At least then their deaths wouldn't feel so empty as it shows there are other beings who look up to them.
Thank you, I try to make every video a little better from the previous one and try new techniques when making them. I would love to see anyone from Metroid in Smash in the future. (Just had to say, thanks for noticing Rundas Senpai)
praying they come back in some extension in prime 4. theyre too cool to just be dead for good like that and for a series that never likes to have anyone alive except samus it sure has a way of pulling the “no one’s ever really gone” card
02:20 Curiously enough, Wotan is Odin's name in some Germanic languages. And Ghor sounds a bit like Thor... It's probably just a coincidence, but I wanted to point it out.
Rundas had the coolest voice and design. He seemed to respect Samus the most, playfully yet respectfully speaking to her as an equal. That's why he's the favourite. His action and casual dialogue wouldn't be out of place in an Avengers movie or something. Gandrayda introduces herself to us by imitating Samus, then giggling when told to stop. She's dismissive and patronising. Bit of a bitch. If I didn't love Samus so much I'd probably like Gandrayda more. She makes me defensive of best girl. I never really got much from Ghor. He didn't seem to have a whole lot of personality VS the other two. And his battle suit looks kinda weird. I'm a fan of his jaw/mandible component tho. The way it's 2 separate pieces but move as one.
Dude, this is a fairly well made video, Surely something I would hope to have more than just "254" *viewss* Ya'know? This is the first video I check from your channel so I don't know niether if you are new or not If you are, that would've explain the lack of subs and views, and if it is GREAT JOB MAN, Seems pretty well made, profesionally made and with custom drawn tumbnails, seems cool, Wish you luck on going high. If you are *NOT* New, then.... What the hell? W-wha- How??
Thank you, always trying to enhance the viewing experience. Indeed the channel is still new, and its my first time around doing youtube channel. I hope you have a look at the other videos and that the entertain you as well. If you like what you see, I would appreciated if you helped sharing the channel and the videos. The extra support will be greatly appreciated
i laughed tht was so nice, and i do kinda see her doing tht in her head "Wow... this guy made of ice saved me like... twice... i need to step it up a bit : )"
It fills me with joy to go back and see everyone so excited for the 2 new metroid games on videos that mention the lack of metroid games in recent years
If you enjoy my content, please consider sharing my channel/videos, the additional exposure would be greatly appreciated, thank you for taking your time to watch my video
ditto was considered a few times as a shapeshifting fighter. I think they'd just go with that. ghor we don't see enough of and rundas is probably the least interesting of the 3 though I'd like to see someone other than ice climbers and lucas who can spam freezing.
The ending with sylux and the outro was good! Can you do the same video for the other hunters from prime hunters? Maybe with some ideas on how they could comeback in the metroid lore
Glad to hear you enjoyed the ending of the video. I am in the works for a Prime Hunters video similar to this one with the exact details you asked so stay tuned in the future. It won't be the next one but it is in the soon to make list
Let's be real. None of these dudes would have lasted a minute against Ridley, not even with phazon enhancements. Not simply because they are weaker than him, but because they have nowhere near the amount of history with him that Samus does. In all his years as the space dragon equivalent of captain blackbeard, Ridley no doubt came across dozens if not hundreds of bounty hunters. Among them all, Samus is the only one who proved herself an actual threat to him. Their rivalry goes back decades and at this point it seems to be the only reason he continues to work alongside the space pirates instead of killing them all and taking everything for himself. If any of these other bounty hunters tried to tussle with Ridley, it would be a small appetizer before Samus at best. At worst it'd just be pest control.
I hope all three prime games get the remastered treatment before Prime 4. My Wii U's gamepad (charger stopped working) and all of my Wiimotes died (they had old batteries that became crusty inside them), so I'm unable to play Metroid Prime Trilogy on it. I can always buy some new ones, but it's become too expensive, so yeah...
What we NEED is for metroid games to be GOOD again. None of this 4th wall breaking cartoony ass japanese tropy shit that Prime 3 and Other M gave us. Federation Force doesn't exist.
GayFlannelShirtGuy69 I mean some people also like eating poop, and just because they all get together and validate each other's opinion, it doesn't mean that they should still eat poop.
I wonder what the other hunters would have done if they survived Prime 3. Let's say Samus was able to fight off Dark Samus (Somehow) and put them into a cryo sleep (similar to how Samus was in her ship at the beginning of the game) until a cure for their Phazon Corruption was found, which would have come in the form of Phaaze's destruction. Let's start with Ghor I think Ghor's top priority would be making a new armour suit as the original was destroyed by Samus. Because he was on Elysia for a while and he was beaten by someone using Chozo technology i feel like he would try and incorporate Chozo tech into his own new suit. Then there's Gandrayda. I have no idea. I mean what do cocky assholes do in their free time. And finally ya boi Rundas. He'd likely continue collecting trophies from missions but would probably be a bit more apprehensive about how he carries out said missions. I also think he'd take and actively seek out more missions against the space pirates, perhaps as a way to clear his name after unwillingly becoming a pirate commander. All three however would take time to recover from their injuries and attempt to clear their name after what they unwillingly did while corrupted
I'd think all of them would probably go by their own routines, but learning from the Corruption to understand their dark side and try to correct it. Ghor might find a way to vent is inner feelings in a better way, perhaps find a way to avoid going 'angry' while in his battle suit. Gandrayda might still be a cocky hunter, but I do think she might reflect on his actions and try to turn over a new leaf, maybe seeing Samus more as a role model to follow, than a rival to beat. Rundas might try and put his confidence on the down low for a bit, not let his pride take over all of his actions. I always felt that this game (subconsciously) had the Hunters know about Samus and her reputation, so in a way, it was an opportunity for everyone to outdo her, and after she destroys Phaaze (and frees the Hunters if they survived) might be a way for them to truly learn/fathom about Samus's true strength
Rundas should’ve been in smash bros ultimate. He truly deserves it since he’s quite popular aside from Sylux. (I think I just said that inaccurately, sorry ;-; )
I kinda thought rundus was like a friend (mainly because of the conversation in the elevator) and was really sad when he died. But his arrogance came over as friendly banter to me.
I know this is a bit irrelevant, but how does Dark Samus survive the collapse of Dark Aether at the end of Prime 2? Is the Dark Samus in Prime 3 a different Dark Samus?
Something I recently realized about the trio is that they loosely represent the elemental Trinity. Rundas is obviously Ice, as most of you guessed, and his cool attitude. Ghor is Fire, since he gives the Plasma Beam and kinda fits with fire in his personality: with his normal self, he's like a gentle candle, A beacon of light for the downtrodden, but when he's in his armorsuit, he behaves more like a destructive, growing inferno. Gandrayda would be electricity, as she drops the Grapple Voltage, as well as being a sparky youth that the Federation can't even get a grasp on what exactly she is.

Honestly, the Nova Beam probably does everything the Wave Beam was planned to do, just in a different color.
It's a shame the Grapple Voltage isn't as good as the other two elemental powers, though. You can't use it on enemies a lot, and when you can it usually costs a _lot_ of HP.
Everyone loves Rundas. But what about Ghor, the friendly nerdy cyborg who has a badass armor and Gandrayda the playful pink chick?
Lets not forget Ghor's incredible ability of combining with any machinery or the fact that Gandrayda is well made out of some electrical substance that allows her to shape shift. The guys from Corruption have some pretty cool concept on their designs
“JUST IN TIME!”

But the ONE thing that generates so many theories about him is the player finds out he's corrupted. Both Ghor and Gandrayda have their personalities emulating while still corrupted but for Rundas his corruption shows dark Samus emulating in ghost like silhouette over him. It's as if to say he required dark samus' full attention to corrupt; that Rundas was (in terms of will strength) the strongest out of the three. And the way he looked around the arena after you beat him, it was almost as if he had absolutely no idea at what was going on. But that's just me over thinking 😅
Don't worry, I agree with your point of view of things! I just saw the "one-upping" as more of a friendly rivalry, such has the "now you owe me one" or that it seems he is trying to tell you things (when he tells you about the ship and maintenance back up) feels a little on the "I knew them first" and perhaps him going to generator B and calling you after he was done could be interpreted on a show-off way. And I think a little of his arrogance shows "Never would have happened If I where there" "....Justice will prevail and all that stuff..."
In regards to after the corruption, I always took it has if the Phazon was prying/feeding on the inner demons of each of the hunters. In the case of Rundas maybe it finally revealed his 'true' colors of the competition with Samus, staying silent waiting for the right moment to attack. Sorta like if he was stalking her, until he was freed for a moment that allowed him to honorably die in the battlefield.
In the end, I tried to stick a little more to what the scans said about each character, since its a bit more of the canon (if you can call it that) for any newcomers to the series, but I do feel a lot of the personalities of each hunter can be perceived differently (Ghor really never showed that sense of humor) and that was is fun about it!
Thanks for sharing your opinion, I never meant to make Rundas seem like a bad influence or so
The Orpheon oh no it's not that I was saying your opinion on him was wrong or anything. I just wanted to expand on the character a little more considering he is the one you mostly interact with out of the other hunters. I mean sure he's definitely cocky but I always saw as someone who (to some extent) respected samus. But like I said, that's just me. Also you deserve alot more subs.
Don't worry, didn't take it the wrong way! I was also just clarifying/or explaining my logic for the explanation in the video, just to make sure. I agree that regardless of what happened, Rundas did have a big respect for Samus (after all, her reputation precedes her with how the other GF troopers react to her presence) and that is what so cool about it.
Also thanks for the compliment, sharing the channel or any of the videos is mostly appreciated, thanks for the support
Laughed way to hard at the introduction of Samus. The one. The Only. SAMUS ARAN. Lmao
Its sometimes a little difficult for me to control my excitement over Samus, she is the best!
(Very happy to hear you enjoyed the introduction!)
When the new microwave arrives when you’re about to make soup
*JUST IN TIME*
Ghor needs a prequel game so we can see his sense of humor.
I can personally say that I wanted Rundas in Smash 4. I still want him.
Out of all three, he is EASILY the one that deserved to be playable! _My guy...!_ :'(
These three characters were so good and i loved gandrayda her powers were so cool. It sucks they were killed i hope they come back somehow..m
Chozo magic.
This channel deserves more love, Please Orpheon, keep the good work.
Thank you for the support, and don't worry, more videos will be coming in the near future. If you like my content, please consider sharing the videos and channel, the extra exposure will be greatly appreciated.
Also, Rundas had a bad ass theme song!!!
he DESERVES to be in smash srsly
I wish sakurai and the nintendrones would stop making excuses and just put Ridley in already he's iconic enough there's mods and the melee intro that show the size debate is not a problem and frankly we need something other than 25 fire emblem characters and 7 palate swaps of pit
MadCap If they ever put him, they're gonna nerf the shit outta him like they did to Samus. Samus is seriously the best character Nintendo has. So bad ass and elite, but sucks in smash. I don't get it.
0h. scar I could talk for hours on this stupid subject why the fuck is samus actually more powerful without her suit in smash? It's so stupid none to mention that yeah like you said it she's nerfed to fuck very slow and clunky despite actually being fast and agile in metroid
MadCap I hate it. Nintendo would rather buff and break 3rd party characters. Like, dude, Samus has advanced tech and went through rigorous training-- all done by elite warrior race aliens. I mean, they did say Samus was the strongest, I guess they just nerfed her b4 giving us the game.
"Ahhh, those were the day Metroid had some love"
Well, I guess that those days have returned now...
Gandrayda was like the metroid character of X-Men with shape-shifting abilities.
Rundas was like Iceman with ice abilities.
Ghor was like Cyclops although a 94% cyborg and due to him using lasers.
Despite their deaths they could have made an appearance as fighters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
If Dark Samus can be resurrected in Ultimate why can't these three hunters.
A man can only dream.
If Dark Samus and Ridley can, so can they. Even the other Hunters.
My older brother really liked Rundas, especially on that elevator scene.
"..Justice will prevail and all that stuff"
Poor Rundas. He regained consciousness at the wrong moment as he was forced to kill himself by dark samus. He almost could've been even cooler.
Rumbus: Gandrayda, where’s my super suit?
Gandrayda walks in shape-shifted into Rundas with the PED suit?
Jeebles, why do you NEED to know?
Do you think Gandrayda could turn into *best Dbza Nappa impression * Vegeta
0:38 - 0:41 "Heh... those were the days when Metroid had some love." Literally one month later Nintendo announced Prime 4 and Samus Returns, so they practically grabbed your foot and crammed it in your mouth. The one time a Metroid rumor was true and it was when no one believed. I still had hope.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Loved the humor like someone constantly asking you about planet names. That's what happens to me whenever anyone asks me about clarification about Metroid lore.
Anon: Hey, how long was Samus in the military?
Me: We. Don't. Know. Get used to that. It's like Blaz Blue except there's just a lack of info instead of the plot being bat shit insane.
Rundas is my favorite as well and my hopeful pick for another Metroid character in Smash. These three hunters were in one game but they're fan favorites. Didn't expect the video to end as serious and concise as it did. Bravo my dude.
Yeah I'm not complaining with Nintendo proving me wrong with those surprise announcements (very happy that they made me eat my own words)
I am very happy to hear you enjoyed the video, I am always working my best to give you the best viewing experience I can offer (and creating some sort of little narrative within the videos)
P.S. Really hope Rundas makes into Smash... or any other Metroid character (at this point I'm desperate enough to even accept Adam)
And then a year later delay it for god knows how long
Ghor was my favorite. Loved his gunship-suit, and is it just me, or does his body look like a space pirate's?
1:54 For some reason i really want to see Ghor's (or Gor i dont remember how you spell it) "Just in time" to become a meme now
(aside from that i just wanna say good vid)
Trying my best to make it a meme (and yes its spelled Ghor)
@@TheOrpheon I think it does have the potential to become a good meme. But could you please hold back on putting it in your videos all the time? It gets annoying a little bit easily.
@@TheOrpheon the madlad did it
EVERYONE
MEET THESE THREE NEW AMAZING CHARACTERS THAT WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE EVERYTHING OF THE FRANCHISE, AND WILL MAKE IT GO ONE STEP FURTHER BEYOND.
btw they all die at the same time k bye
More like you're forced to watch them die one by one and you can't do shit about it except FEELING BAD
Pucked except pull the trigger*
That is to say, *EAT A D#@$, DARK SAMUUUUUUS!!!* 😩🤬
RIP Rundas, Samus's closest friends in the Metroid Universe never last more than a game.
"Remember me?"
@@TheOrpheon Anthony did.
After seeing Quiet Robe in Dread... *I agree.* :'(
@The Opheon, Gandraya is bound by relative size restrictions normally. The phazon boosted her powers. It's in the codex.
I wasn't really sad that they died. I was more sad that we hardly got any time with these guys at all. Most Metroid games are lonely and all that, so to see the potential these three had (mainly Rundas) get snuffed out so fast after meeting them was a real bummer
"You're telling me that there are more bounty hunters besidrs Samus!?!?!"
-Metroid fans in a nutshell
Or Smash Bros fans who say Metroid as no other character to choose from, besides Ridley
@@TheOrpheon 3 years late, but what the hell, Smash doesn't really have a lot of single game side characters in it. It has some single game characters, but typically those are main characters. The only one that really is kinda obscure is Shiek, but that's largely because she was from the most famous and popular Zelda game and was brought on when the game was still somewhat fresh.
So incorporating a side character which is only in one game where the die and can't return is a bit weird for them.
Getting better and better! Great job : )
Thanks, always finding new ways to improve, and make the text slightly smaller
I see what you did there aha!
I like how you go through the characters as you should have fought them by their interaction to Samus rundas was the only one that didn't fight here nor degrade her in any way which makes his fight more heartbreaking
They should have had a much longer section at the beginning that had the player interact with the hunters a lot more before they all turned evil. Maybe a few missions before the attack on Norion.
If ever a Remastered of Prime 3 happens, I wonder if they could add 2 or 2 "Side Quests" in the very beginning of the game just for that?
Though I have no idea how they could implement them.
Dammit, your closing line gave me hope for Hunters 2!
I agree with you, need more Metroid characters.
Samus while being saved after Ridley fight:
"Oh no, Rundas is so cool. He'll definitely upstage me and steal the spotlight. I have to make sure he dies before this game ends,"
If they are gonna be in Smash Bros, maybe Nintendo could make a pack of fighters like they did with Pokémon trainer where you have pretty much 3 characters in 1 and you could call them The Corrupted Hunters
I love pendrana drifts theme :3
Just here to point out that I'm pretty sure the G.F. Trooper at the beginning is voiced by All Mights English VA
I hope Prime 4 expands on the idea of more Bounty Hunters, both friendly ones and not-so friendly ones. Maybe even introduce successors of the deceased Hunters in Corruption. At least then their deaths wouldn't feel so empty as it shows there are other beings who look up to them.
They were my favorite bosses in that game
holy shit music from Paper Mario
Big fan of the series
Thousand year door = knights of the old republic in quality in my opinion
I love that you had Samus refer to Rundas as senpai lol. He was always my favorite of the 3.
Needless to say (since I mentioned this on the video) he was also my favorite. The sendai was more of a visual joke and I'm very glad you enjoyed it
P.S. dig the Darkling Duck icon
Haha thanks dude. I like your stuff :) Just discovered your channel today but the original artwork is reason enough to watch these videos.
Glad you enjoy the channel, expect more videos in the future
this was probably your best video! good job man! also ridley rundas and sylux
Thank you, I try to make every video a little better from the previous one and try new techniques when making them. I would love to see anyone from Metroid in Smash in the future.
(Just had to say, thanks for noticing Rundas Senpai)
Rundas:
"WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT?!"
What?
praying they come back in some extension in prime 4. theyre too cool to just be dead for good like that and for a series that never likes to have anyone alive except samus it sure has a way of pulling the “no one’s ever really gone” card
02:20 Curiously enough, Wotan is Odin's name in some Germanic languages. And Ghor sounds a bit like Thor...
It's probably just a coincidence, but I wanted to point it out.
3:56 its sounds like frigys i guess.
Cause you know, ice
Rundas had the coolest voice and design. He seemed to respect Samus the most, playfully yet respectfully speaking to her as an equal. That's why he's the favourite. His action and casual dialogue wouldn't be out of place in an Avengers movie or something.
Gandrayda introduces herself to us by imitating Samus, then giggling when told to stop. She's dismissive and patronising. Bit of a bitch. If I didn't love Samus so much I'd probably like Gandrayda more. She makes me defensive of best girl.
I never really got much from Ghor. He didn't seem to have a whole lot of personality VS the other two. And his battle suit looks kinda weird. I'm a fan of his jaw/mandible component tho. The way it's 2 separate pieces but move as one.
Dude, this is a fairly well made video, Surely something I would hope to have more than just "254" *viewss* Ya'know?
This is the first video I check from your channel so I don't know niether if you are new or not
If you are, that would've explain the lack of subs and views, and if it is
GREAT JOB MAN, Seems pretty well made, profesionally made and with custom drawn tumbnails, seems cool, Wish you luck on going high.
If you are *NOT* New, then.... What the hell? W-wha- How??
Thank you, always trying to enhance the viewing experience. Indeed the channel is still new, and its my first time around doing youtube channel. I hope you have a look at the other videos and that the entertain you as well.
If you like what you see, I would appreciated if you helped sharing the channel and the videos. The extra support will be greatly appreciated
Lol Samus said senpai when rundas appears
Rundas is everyone's senpai?
i laughed tht was so nice, and i do kinda see her doing tht in her head "Wow... this guy made of ice saved me like... twice... i need to step it up a bit : )"
It fills me with joy to go back and see everyone so excited for the 2 new metroid games on videos that mention the lack of metroid games in recent years
That Prime Hunters menu music at the end of the video molested my childhood in all the right ways. Thank you.
Dude, your videos are amazing. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you for the compliment and the support! Res assured I always do my best to give you the best experience possible!
If you enjoy my content, please consider sharing my channel/videos, the additional exposure would be greatly appreciated, thank you for taking your time to watch my video
Didn't know Chris Sabat (Vegeta) voice acted Rundas and other soldiers
Gandrayda would be excellent in the new SSB! Cross between Kirby and Z-suit samus!
ditto was considered a few times as a shapeshifting fighter. I think they'd just go with that. ghor we don't see enough of and rundas is probably the least interesting of the 3 though I'd like to see someone other than ice climbers and lucas who can spam freezing.
Ghor: descent character
Gandrayda: kool, but kinda a bitch sometimes.
Rundas: i love this guy almost as much as samus
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "FRIDGE-iss", as in "frigid". PUNS!
It probably is, its just written very weird, especially if English isn't your native language
I miss Rundas so much...
The ending with sylux and the outro was good! Can you do the same video for the other hunters from prime hunters? Maybe with some ideas on how they could comeback in the metroid lore
Glad to hear you enjoyed the ending of the video. I am in the works for a Prime Hunters video similar to this one with the exact details you asked so stay tuned in the future. It won't be the next one but it is in the soon to make list
Let's be real. None of these dudes would have lasted a minute against Ridley, not even with phazon enhancements. Not simply because they are weaker than him, but because they have nowhere near the amount of history with him that Samus does.
In all his years as the space dragon equivalent of captain blackbeard, Ridley no doubt came across dozens if not hundreds of bounty hunters. Among them all, Samus is the only one who proved herself an actual threat to him. Their rivalry goes back decades and at this point it seems to be the only reason he continues to work alongside the space pirates instead of killing them all and taking everything for himself. If any of these other bounty hunters tried to tussle with Ridley, it would be a small appetizer before Samus at best. At worst it'd just be pest control.
Good stuff dude. Here's holding onto that Metroid hype till E3
Thank you, Still holding to that little glimmer of hope of seeing Metroid return to its former glory
Rundas music also probably helped to make him feel special I think.
welp, silux will get his revenge soon...
No lore outside of the game…I miss them
I love this channel, great content Orpheon
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the videos and that you look forward to the future ones
Rundas in smash pls...his boss theme was so damn good and he actually touches your heart when he dies in the epic boss music ;-;
would be awesome to have and ice-centered fighter to counter all the fire-wielders already in the game
Who are the hunters in prime 3? A trio of badasses. Granted they aren't as good as Samus, but they're still freaking cool.
Man is this tragic hopefully things get better for samus
Your not alone I definitely want rundas in smash
No iceman can actually affect things on a very bigger level than Rundras
Landis save Santa from weirdly if it weren’t for him then he would’ve fallen into the reactor core
I hope all three prime games get the remastered treatment before Prime 4. My Wii U's gamepad (charger stopped working) and all of my Wiimotes died (they had old batteries that became crusty inside them), so I'm unable to play Metroid Prime Trilogy on it. I can always buy some new ones, but it's become too expensive, so yeah...
ridley shows up because why not. every metroid game summed up
Great video as always!
Glad that you enjoyed it
i love rundas he's so fkin laid back he gets to the DAMN POINT!
I like Ghor a little for the same reason. He seemed the most 'professional' out of the three
You could say Rundas is really... chill.
Samus being one of many bounty hunters was introduced in the first handbook of metroid
Rundas is played by Christopher Sabat.
So he's got the attitude of Vegeta.
🤔 I hope Nintendo makes prequel side-game about each of these 3 Hunters .
Subscription for you!
And yeah we NEED Rundas in the next Smash Bros.
Thanks for the support! And i would love to see anyone in the next Smash Bros
loverofjesusMKII amen my friend
What we NEED is for metroid games to be GOOD again. None of this 4th wall breaking cartoony ass japanese tropy shit that Prime 3 and Other M gave us. Federation Force doesn't exist.
HiveTyrant36 I thought prime 3 was an excellent game.
GayFlannelShirtGuy69 I mean some people also like eating poop, and just because they all get together and validate each other's opinion, it doesn't mean that they should still eat poop.
Look at that awesome new outro! :0
Glad you liked it, working on making new assets to make the videos better for the future
Don't forget, Rundas sad death and epic music
I wonder what the other hunters would have done if they survived Prime 3. Let's say Samus was able to fight off Dark Samus (Somehow) and put them into a cryo sleep (similar to how Samus was in her ship at the beginning of the game) until a cure for their Phazon Corruption was found, which would have come in the form of Phaaze's destruction.
Let's start with Ghor
I think Ghor's top priority would be making a new armour suit as the original was destroyed by Samus.
Because he was on Elysia for a while and he was beaten by someone using Chozo technology i feel like he would try and incorporate Chozo tech into his own new suit.
Then there's Gandrayda.
I have no idea. I mean what do cocky assholes do in their free time.
And finally ya boi Rundas. He'd likely continue collecting trophies from missions but would probably be a bit more apprehensive about how he carries out said missions. I also think he'd take and actively seek out more missions against the space pirates, perhaps as a way to clear his name after unwillingly becoming a pirate commander.
All three however would take time to recover from their injuries and attempt to clear their name after what they unwillingly did while corrupted
I'd think all of them would probably go by their own routines, but learning from the Corruption to understand their dark side and try to correct it.
Ghor might find a way to vent is inner feelings in a better way, perhaps find a way to avoid going 'angry' while in his battle suit.
Gandrayda might still be a cocky hunter, but I do think she might reflect on his actions and try to turn over a new leaf, maybe seeing Samus more as a role model to follow, than a rival to beat.
Rundas might try and put his confidence on the down low for a bit, not let his pride take over all of his actions.
I always felt that this game (subconsciously) had the Hunters know about Samus and her reputation, so in a way, it was an opportunity for everyone to outdo her, and after she destroys Phaaze (and frees the Hunters if they survived) might be a way for them to truly learn/fathom about Samus's true strength
The Orpheon Yeah makes sense
❤
Glad you enjoyed the video Samus, look forward for more in the near future
Don't listen to her, it's dark samus
HiveTyrant36 ;) too late
Opening: *Exist*
Me: DONT YOU SAY?
3:47 its cool how she turns into samus
Rundas 4 smash
I love how you randomly put MK64 music in your videos.
I usually add songs I feel can fit the mood of what I'm saying/showing, or just music from games I enjoy a lot. Couldn't resist the MK64 OST
You're not alone, I also want the other hunters to be in Smash.
Damn, Gandrayda sounds like a really cool character on paper. Killed too soon tbh.
Ditto in the Metroidverse is one scary thought.
Hunters was my first metroid game. Spiky guy (forgot his name) was the best cause he could climb up walls.
Rundas should’ve been in smash bros ultimate. He truly deserves it since he’s quite popular aside from Sylux.
(I think I just said that inaccurately, sorry ;-; )
Wow, so it seems that all the planets these three bounty hunters lived on are named after real life gods :o
I mean one of the bosses is named Helios and the 2 main GFS ships are Olypmus and Valhalla
I kinda thought rundus was like a friend (mainly because of the conversation in the elevator) and was really sad when he died. But his arrogance came over as friendly banter to me.
1:31 No! Lol
+Arrturo Salinas fun fact, in the original version, Admiral Dane would say 'damn' and it was later changes to 'no' on the trilogy version
The Orpheon lol
I know this is a bit irrelevant, but how does Dark Samus survive the collapse of Dark Aether at the end of Prime 2? Is the Dark Samus in Prime 3 a different Dark Samus?
NEW METROID BABY
i love to have the hunter from prime hunters and prime 3 in smash
Just in time.
