That's pretty bonkers man. I think I heard about it, but I was not too sure. It would've been cooler to watch it, then actually try running through it to see how hard it all really is... I mean, to do that before other m takes over for a week or two. I thought I'd written good job, but I hadn't so: Good job man! Really. I mean for what it's worth I figured out the cheese strats for nightmare and ridley on my own (though ridley is like fuckin duh)
if your nightmare strategy is the one i'm thinking of, then i think it's slower than whatever i did. of course that's probably irrelevant to almost everyone because their highest priority during that fight is surviving, not going fast.
Very Nice BioSpark. If you can do in in under :30 then I'll give you 600 respects. I'm playing Ice Metal right now so i'll be playing a runthrough of fusion after that.
Nothings Impossible if you put your mind to it. If you use all the shortcuts in the game then its possible. I could probably beat it in :31 if I REALLY tried.
Rule of thumb: If you impress ajbolt, you're a helluva Metroid player. Can't wait to see the run, Spark.
Batista, give it up. Real life isn't Naruto -- some things are just plain impossible no matter how much you believe in yourself. Until/unless something is found in Fusion that actually defeats the game's coding, 0:30 is as far out of reach as 0:01.
You refer to manga? Life isn't a book, But it's true that most of the things in the world are impossible. So :30 probably won't be happening anytime soon.
You're missing the point. Physically scrolling through all of the game's unskippable text takes half that time alone, let alone actually playing anything. You're also arguing with people like BioSpark, who currently holds both of the current world records, for the TAS and the unassisted run. This means that there are few people in the world who know the game so well, so when they tell you what's likely / possible, you should take it on board.
the computer conversations don't count toward in-game time. but the elevators do, and those are pretty slow. not to mention the running to get to each sector at the top of each elevator.
