When I was a little kid, this game was so hard. I couldn't beat it until I was a teenager. I used the JUSTIN BAILEY code . But now I'm older and still play it about once a year get everything i spend days doing it. Nintendo power was a big help in the 90's
Getting Long Beam earlier creates about 10 seconds detour; more than that is saved being able to shoot distant blocks in narrow tunnels (otherwise would have to wait for bombs), cutting lag & getting refill by killing enemies ahead of Samus, and being able to use the Wave Beam to shoot through a wall and finish off Ridley while exiting his room.
What the heck are you talking about? The Up+A warping pulls up the password system because it's resetting Samus' position. You honestly think that a TAS, a format of speedrunning known to be done in a 'single' setting, would result to breaking up the gameplay in such a way? A TAS is done with a movie file. This movie files allows people to overwrite stuff and eliminate mistakes. They are also known to be trying to break all known records. You think he would be wasting time SAVING?
Went to the kitchen for some popcorn and soda, after you used the password system, I honestly lost interest, thought it was just one time long run, my body was ready........ :(
I don't get the point of tool assisted runs. How is that even meaningful? Doesn't feel like any much of an achievement and some type of pointless cut and paste job.
In all honesty, I don't really see the point of RTA. Who cares if _someone_ happened to do a combination of things, if said things were already known to be possible? At least TAS is breaking new ground, exploring new possibilities, instead of just treading the same ground faster.
the point of tas runs are to show how fast a game *could* theoretically be - what a(n at the time the tas would be made) truly perfect run of a game would look like if the best player was given the best rng possible and such its as much of a showcase as it is a speedrun

Nice to know that the "jump through the ceiling using the door" glitch works in Metroid and Super Metroid lol.
Speedrunner is so cool, he doesn't even wait for bosses to be dead before he opens the door behind them.

21:13 Samus knows Ridley is already dead and gives zero fucks, just peaces out. Legend.
*_Team Ninja_*_ won't remember that._
The low health alarm is the worst thing about this game.
And Zelda. I loved these games but man! 😫
Ah music in my ears but irritating 😅yes agree
I think it's safe to say you have this game down to a science
Technically, there's one more, but yes, this should be the last one, unless I lied to myself just now.
Good TAS. I feel the route can still be optimized a bit though
So, what is this Up+A restart sequence that managed to cut off a huge 8 minutes?
I like how like %60? of this game is Norfair.
so this is the best xD
I don't understand the early detour for long beam.

If there was only a way to turn off the beeping
The beeping sound was so annoying omg!
Is this the last one? Is this the last of the chain of Metroid TASes?
I can’t bear the low HP sound. It’s so annoying. Had to stop after 10 min.
just... mute the video when the player is lower than 25 health
its not something that happens too often anyway

Samus is a lady.
A TAS is not a movie file, it is a set of inputs that are played back frame by frame

The list of things you don't get could fill the library of Alexandria
