Rockos Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Also, I found that playing the two best hack of this game give you a lot more in techniques since you learn to use them more frequently. The best hacks are: Super Metroid Redesign (I own it in real CART) And Super metroid: Zero Mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Hero Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 The best hacks are: Super Metroid Redesign (I own it in real CART)And Super metroid: Zero Mission. I haaaaaated the redesign... too much tedium and needlessly changed physics. It didn't feel at all like a Metroid game to me, least of all Super Metroid. Haven't played the other, but I've seen clips and it looks pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But worth it. I loved it since I'm a big fan of super metroid. The game sure have it's flaws but it's not that worst. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty cool. Zero mission is easier to play. But to have 100% it is really tough. NEarly impossible without save stating. Still really really enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'll second Redesign, it is unbelievably good. I'm also a casual speed-runner of both Super Metroid and Castlevania SOTN. SOTN is really fun, since there are lots of small tweaks to the route that you can attempt, and lots of fun glitches to utilize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I did a pretty insane speedrun of MegaMan Zero 4 Hard Mode (I'm retired through ) (ignore the intro's clipping, I did this before I started writing music.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Rex Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Been picking up speedruns of Super Mario 64 - my best time so far is 36:11.9 with a shitty backwards long jump and many mistakes. It's also the first thing I tell girls at parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) It's also the first thing I tell girls at parties. I wouldn't judge you if this was a serious statement. An SM64 speedrun actually looks impressive as fuck. It's very showy, with all these acrobatic flips, wall jumps, and shortcuts. Anyone who hasn't watched an SM64 speedrun, you must.

So far I haven't gotten too much into the flashy jumps and such, but that's what i'm working on to cut down on minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend is doing the same thing, it's not too hard to whittle your time down in a few weeks from what I've seen. He started at about the same, and not long ago hit a 26 minute run After a short break I picked Super Metroid back up and I hit 1:00:08 at his place last night, SO CLOSE to getting sub 1 hr. If I hadn't bungled this ONE shinespark... anyway, 0:43 by the game clock, not bad EDIT: TOTALLY hit sub 1 hr. Was a minute behind at one point, and made up for it and THEN an extra 30 seconds Edited May 13, 2013 by Phonetic Hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarnax42 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 So I've been playing SMB a bit again. So, apparently those plant jumps I mentioned earlier are not even the hardest jumps in the game. The trickiest part is probably the glitch he pulls off in 4-2 (vid here, again). The jumps in 1-2 (at 0:52 in the vid) are the only other one I have not managed to pull off once. There's also a window of only a couple frames to jump the goombas in 8-1 (at 2:34). Main reason I'm posting is because I did just have flawless run on 8-1 that I'm pretty excited about. Clock read 200 as I hit the flag. It looked pretty much identical to 8-1 in the video. Plenty more work to do, but it's starting to look doable. (World record, probably not...the margin for improvement between the current record and a perfect TAS is only about 30-some frames. Nuts!)

Esperado Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I don't know about taking it so seriously, but I love to do Super Metroid speedruns. My current route is dangerous though and if we were to race I'd likely lose because of it. i know someone who could beat that game in like 2 minutes slower than the record time. i dont even know how its done.

Swann Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 History stuff: I had a bunch of top times in Crash Team Racing, like ten years ago when that was a thing. Got into running Super Metroid a couple years ago but after I reached my personal goal of sub 1:20:00 any% and sub 2 hours 100% I kind of just swore off it. Trying to SS the last level in Dustforce ( ) before I work on speedrunning the game. In terms of notable times I've got a few top 10s but I really want to work up consistency enough for races. I'd love to eventually have top 20 times on every stage, but that's a long way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
