OMG!!!!!!

i was doing a recorded run flawlessly but then my aunt told me to give her her purse so i paused, after that everything went horrible, it took me a while to kill the metroid because i changed so fast i got back to missiles, then i missed the recharge trick and got stuck in the floor for not destroying correctly the things at tourian, after that everything went smooth till the zebetite trick, it took me 3 tries and missed some shots at mother brain, i got kinda stuck on the escape sequence

i got 00:38 and as i post the credits are rolling, ill have to star over, damn

edit: i also made a comical mistake, i shinesparked to high before wrecked ship and missed the missile

Try to do your run while no one is around or while no one will bother you.

no, you should not rewind except when the tape hits the end. doing so will reduce the quality because it's vhs.

I only visit this board infrequently, so forgive me for sounding lost. Azor, that's great that you're recording Super Metroid speed runs! Is that a single-segment :38? That would tie smokey's run! Not that I need to tell you that. It sounds like you're sending your video to Nate. Nate, will you be posting it, or is it just for your personal viewing pleasure? I have been getting better times at Super Metroid lately, and I have even recorded them, but I didn't think that anyone would be interested unless it was a new record. I finally broke :38 today, with a :37. It's an any % (26 %) console run, and it's segmented. I don't even want to think about doing a single-segment run; there are way too many tricks to screw up, and I screw up enough as it is. I also RECORDED OVER the segments whenever I would screw up, so the video quality probably isn't as good as it could be. It's good to hear that other people are still playing this game (and up to speed, so to speak); I thought that I might be the only one trying to break smokey's record.

Edit: Well, I feel dumb. Maybe I should have read your old posts BEFORE asking questions. Anyway, I see that you have previously gotten a 37 SS, and are now trying to duplicate that feat. Amazing. It looks like I still have some work to do.

i agree with you, too many ways to scew things at a single segment run

and when it gets to recording it becomes a very hard test of endurance, ive gotten 37 before but recording is harder

whenever you have everything very smooth you just hope you dont make a foolish mistake but you eventually do it

so far i have like 4 recorded 38 but i wont give up till i get 37 now that i know its possible

Nice to see you around here griggski, I'm glad you also speedrun this game, still! Keep up the good work, I hope you will manage to break 36 min as well with practice and we also see a new vid for the multi segmented run. :)

And keep it up Azor, 4 38s is very close and I'm sure you will get 37 soon. Good luck!

rewinding is fine if you hit the end of the tape. you just don't want to rewind every time you fail and ruin the tape like that.

ok thanks, for now i need to improve my run, too many things stop me from recording freely and happily

edit: OMG this has to be the most frustrating thing ever!!
i was recording and i got a perfect run in most ways, then i got to mother brain and got the zebetite thing quick but messed up and got hit by mother brain while rising, then she hit me with his red beam(i dont know its name) and i got killed, i was pretty sure that was a 37 run, maybe a 36

I feel your pain, Azor. Yesterday I was having a great run through the wrecked ship, but my energy was a little lower than I thought. I pulled off the shine spark through the spike room (right before the gravity suit), but my energy hit 29 within spitting distance of the chozo statue. I had to watch helplessly as I fell into the spikes (which deal 30 damage, I believe). It sounds like you're extremely close to breaking the single segment record. I'm trying to break the segmented record, so just take your time with that one, okay? Wink

Azor, it would be really amazing if you could beat the 00:38 SS run because smokey's is really fast and smooth.

Keep it up Azor! I'm sure that you'll reproduce a 00:37 while recording. 8-)

im sure i can beat smokeys 38, ive done it before but the problem is i need to focus on my run and my annoying brother always distracts me, other than that im sure i can

btw i have a question

i know the missile before wrecked ship virtually takes no extra time but i alway skip it because i dont like the text box to appear so i dont have to wait, the thing is ive gotten to mother brain with 25 missiles and 5 supers and she doesnt die so does anybody knows how much missiles and supers it takes for her to die??

Kejardon will doubtless respond more specifically, but in the meantime here's his post on the topic from some time ago:
http://www.metroid2002.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=100536#100536

If I understand it correctly, the glass takes 18 hits to completely destroy (necessary to move on to the next part), and after 6 hits you're hitting MB as well as the glass. She needs to take 3000 damage to "wake up" and move on to the next phase, with a missile doing 100 and a super doing 300. So basically you need to do that 3000 damage while hitting her 12 or more times.

With the armament you mentioned, you'll have 19 missiles and 5 supers left after the first six missiles break the glass. That's 1900 + 1500 = 3400. So, um, I'm not sure what the problem is unless my arithmetic is way off.

Make sure you're shooting the missiles first, then the supers.

I know EXACTLY how you feel, having a run end on the final boss. If you're worried about MB's hand beam ending another run, here's a few tips on how to avoid it (just in case you didn't already know):

When you're pseudo-screw-attacking, the beam can't hit you, so you could try doing that along the right wall once she starts using the hand beam.

Or, you could copy Red Scarlet, and just crouch in the corner, jumping to avoid blue rings and bomb explosions and morphing to make the hand beam go over your head.

Good luck on your run; can't wait to see it!

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

The only specific Chanoire didn't (explicitly) mention is that shots to the glass don't damage Mother Brain, but shots to Mother Brain count towards breaking the glass. So yeah, as BlueGlass said, use normal missiles to break the glass.
25 missiles and 5 supers is plenty.

wow thanks guy for all the help

about my run i think the tricks i use make it look neat however the gravity suit shinespark trick its tricky so i dont use it, instead i jump without high jump as i saw in a run, i think it was red scarlet's

however i have 4 critical points

-the jump on the old mother brain room, its easy but sometimes i fall
-the kraid without high jump boots jump, also easy but im not flawless in that
-wrecked ship shinesparks...actually this isnt critical anymore, now i rarely fail
-norfair without screw attack jump, this trick is just nasty, and hard and i instead of shinesparking i space jump while keeping blue, it allows me to keep energy so ridley doesnt kill me
