I've heard Saturn's putting his RBO-run on hold. Working on Redesign and Super Metroid any%-TASes on the moment from what I know.

Right, I didn't touch this run for almost a half year now. The very hard move optimizations in Maridia suitless were too frustrating for me. It's much harder in slow water compared to air. I gave up for now and started the any%, later the Redesign any% instead. Once I get enough time, will, and especially patience to do many tests again, I will continue this run someday. It definitely will be finished, don't worry about it. Just give me time. :)

So... What are the exact directions for defeating Draygon and ending up on the ledge?

Something about a Crystal Flash and him grabbing you. And my Wave Beam shield is going right through Draygon. Not even doing no damage against his back shell, let alone hitting his gut to hurt him. Maybe I'll try Spazer and Ice...

This seriously needs to be on the site, along with stuff like the reset glitch.

Copy/pasted from a post I made last night on gamefaqs:

It's fairly complicated. By far the easiest way is to damage Draygon to the point where one super missile/charge ice/wave/spazer will kill him, then lower your health to the point where you can CF. Then, you have to perform the CF when Draygon comes in from the left side of the screen shooting gunk. He should grab you before the CF finishes. Then, let him carry you up to the top of the room and get him to drop you on the ledge by the door. To do this, make 14 and 3/4 circles on the d-pad, then press one more direction and he'll drop you. From this point on, do not press jump, because the interruped CF gave you one use-anywhere shinespark. You are going to use that to get out of the next room. Now, to kill Draygon, use either a lucky hit from a wave beam shield or a lucky hit from a ice/wave/spazer charge shot. He'll die, you can leave the room, then you can use your free shinespark to escape the next room.

Question: For RbO run, if I have Plasma, should Murder Beam on Mother Brain be allowed?

Yeah, I'm intending to record a zmv of my Tourain portion of my RbO, just so I can have a lil' proof of what I've done...

I started to think about something... After you've played LN and Maridia and you're gonna kill Phantoon and Kraid, are you going to collect the Varia and Gravity Suit after killing them? Or are you just going to play the whole game suitless from the beginning to end.

Yeah I read that I just wanted to make sure... I could've meant suitless for only before Phantoon and Kraid. :)

Yeah well that really would not matter that much at that point, but I think it still is cool to finish without either suits. That really does not happen so often.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

It would take unnesasary time to get the 2 suits as they won't save anytime later on and you have to go into another room for varia suit and you have to ride the chozo for gravity.

Collecting the Suits in RBO would be the most stupid thing one could do. Of course I won't, as it's pointless and would cost much unnecessary time (especially Gravity suit with roughly a whole minute delay).

I'll be back. Maybe...

plus the extra delay from losing health more slowly against mother brain and in the metroid's room.

Metroid's room doesn't involve losing health (moreover, the hatchling won't even have a chance of touching Samus at all).

That is to say, it won't even lay a fang on Saturn.

We all agree those things on Metroids are fangs, right?
