I wish i had a TV card in the computer, i can do it on the SNES, i did it once on the computer, figured i'd capture it with fraps but apparently haven't been able to do it again.
Anyways this is a method to get up on this ledge.
The idea is, wall jump your way to the top, nock the block out, and then give'er shit to the top again and if you can manage it (it's difficult as hell) you can "bounce" of the creature or if you damn lucky and wall jump at the perfect time, you can manage to get up on this ledge.
This is before you even make it to the elevator to Norfair, this also allows you to get Power bombs WAY WAY in advance. It's NEARLY impossible to pull off, and trying to do this with the infinite bomb jump is pretty much impossible to, but possibly doable (my gaud it's hard enough wall jumping up there).
Anyways. I had a long winded comment on youtube page, but youtube messed up.
Can anyone else manage this, has anyone else managed it? This is by far my most favorite Sequence breaker as with this done, you can get more energy packs allowing you to get the ICE BEAM without getting the vaira suit. Not to mention several other things. Power Bombs open up tons of extra sequence breaking abilities.
anyways, hopefully soon youtube will have this available to look at... just be patient:
Heres a little more detail on what to do.
Initially it's basically play through the game, get to the vertical shaft that takes you down to where the energy refill is on the left side and the corridors on the right take you to the elevator, however instead of going down to these, make several semi difficult wall jumps UP to the top, nock out the block at the top with your weapon, fall down as quick as possible and then wall jump back up as quick as possible, there is enough time that you have roughly 3 seconds to spare to get through by the time you reach the top again. At the top, like i said before, you can try to place a perfectly well done wall jump off the wall and grab JUST be enough to finish off a wall jump from the ledge to get up, or by "bouncing" of the creature's damage dilivered to get up there. It's freaking hard, be patient, take breaks. But like i mentioned, it's probably the ultimately most excellent sequence breaker.
Personally, i love being able to load up on upgrades/powerups and extra stuff before even fighting any bosses. If i can walk into kraid with just about every conceiveable energy tank, missile,super bomb, etc i can get with this, i will. I find it fun.
