Here I can actually talk to people who are GOOD at this series. When I achieve something that I am proud of, the people here can appreciate it. And when I want to learn something so that I can improve, there's no shortage of information and help. I really have a passion for playing this series and I find it to be extremely cool to be able to talk to people who are probably the best players in the whole world. It's like being a trekkie and having the chance to talk people who are on the show. I'm in awe over much of what I see in here in regards to skill level. Yes, it's true: I'm a metroid NERD of the highest order. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone else on the forum who plays all of the games in the series as regularly as I do. Most people seem to concentrate on one or two games. When I'm really into Super, I have people who are amazingly skilled at Super to talk to. When I'm really into Prime, I don't have to go far to talk to the best Prime players. It's all here in one place.
i find it amazing that you said this. i would describe the site in the way you just did, but only if i said it a few years ago. nice that someone still considers this a cool place with metroid "pros".
Well, we do still see posts made by Zoid, bartendorsparky, spidey-widey, BioSpark, DJGrenola, DSGamer3002, and even (fairly recently) carlmmii, so that covers a load of the record-holders. We've also had Giganotabehemoth87 take the PAL record for Super recently, and we have Paraxade working on a new Corruption record, so I think we can say we still got plenty o' pros.
