[SM] Super Metroid Impossible

I thought of a possible technique that might open the maridia reverse green gate. If you jump at maximum height, recuding hitbox by pressing down, then at the last possible frame/subpx shoot a super missile, directly morph and roll into the tunnel. If you manage to roll 1 block before the super missile arrives, then you should be able to dodge the block that is blocking the gate.

I have tried every frame, but if someone is giddy enough to start messing around with subpixels you should give it a try. When I tried with frames I was lacking about a frame or two.

I hope you can get it Kriole. That's an intresting concept. I don't think anyone has tried that yet. Anyways, I'll try your meathod.

I'm a jerk. I guess I should realize that I'm not ready for this hack if I can't get passed the Ceres escape. But then again, I don't like using save states either.

I don´t know exactly what you mean by not liking save state usage, but if you really don´t want to use them, I suggest you stay away from this hack, because they will be needed, a lot. Ceres is one of the easiest parts of this hack.

Kriole: I like how you have the energy and attitude to try things all the time, that must be the reason you have discovered so many nice things for SMI, original SM and other hacks as well. BTW, do you still plan to finish your test run?

Persistence pays off <3. And yes, I am planning to finish my testrun. Just entered Draygon's room, and I'm kinda out of motivation. Also, I think I need to take a little break from TAS, some days maybe... but that's gonna be hard, since I really love it =(

Umm, I don't know what about savestates I don't really like. Maybe it's the fact that it feels like it's less of a game and more of just challenge after challenge (if that makes any semblance of sense) or maybe it's the fact that I have to drop my controller, hit ESC, and click to the savestate in ZSNES every time I want to do it - it's just not easy to do unless you're at a point where you're just standing around.

Can't you just hit F2 to savestate in ZSnes? Also, if it's to difficult to savestate whith a controller, play using a computer.

Ummm, hacks cannot be played in other way than computer.... :D Maybe you meant keyboard? I think some others play with controller as well and they seem to manage.

Anyway, if/when you find a way to be a little faster with the save stating, you could do it between rooms and otherwise just like you said, only when you have time to save. Though I doubt your nerves will last until the end if you try playing some larger bits at once, because the larger the "segment", the more attempts you need. Also this hack has several "hurry situations" where you cannot save if it consumes time. I kinda understand why saving is so difficult when playing with a controller, but I don´t know exactly because I have always used keyboard myself.

Yeah I meant keyboard. Stupid me. Embarassed

Yeah, I play on the computer, but not with a keyboard. I play with a treecitty controller for just about all of my emulation.

Diagonal bombjumping is so friggin hard. Any hints, how I do this? =/

i make somethin wrong. when the 3rd bomb explodes, and I am "flying" to the ledge, I stop in the air >.<

Cardweaver

Diagonal bomb jumping itself isnt hard... Its the double jump thats hard. Thats actually the place I quit at for a long time until I got much better at randomly being awesome at bomb jumping. still can't HBJ though. thank god impossible didn't need that.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

If you want to fly away from the bomb without stopping then you should face away from the bomb when it explodes

You're supposed to do that.

I think that any major SB in Impossible is non existent. So no need to worry about getting off route.

K, I beat draygon after tons of savestates :D

Trust me, no picnic even with savestates... Now I'm getting closer. Red belly is becoming more frequent and I should bring him down soon.

You are using save states for practice or what? Maybe you should add to your sig that you do Draygon without slowdown and without save states. Beating him without slowdown alone is not really that impressive if you still use save states. :)

Do you plan to record your fight with Fraps or some other screen-recording program? I would love to see something like that. I thought that if I try it again sometime, I will record it with some of those. I think that is proof enough that there is no slowdown used. It is gonna be awesome when it happens.

Cpadolf

Fraps does not offer better proof than a smv since you can just fraps the finished smv and not while you're playing. In fact you could even use rerecords if you where to do it with fraps.

The only failproof method would be ofscreen recording but nobody would go to that extent I think.

Lance Uppercut

2007-11-26 07:04:47 am

I think that if you record it from the moment showing you starting the smv-recording, it might show enough proof. Though videos are also editable, but again, I don´t think either that anyone would go to that extent.

Bolognab

2007-11-26 04:15:02 pm

Draygon without slowdown is no impressive feat at all...I could do that in my sleep, but not without savestates.

Sneaky Paradox

2007-11-26 04:22:20 pm

Woops, yeah forgot to add that. And yeah, no slowdown and no savestates and I will be recording on SnesX1.51. I'm not practicing with slowdown or savestates because it kind of messes up how I play anyway and the only problem I have is refilling enough because the electricity is too random and deadly that I can't pull off charged shots very easily.

currently trying to find more etanks and expansions to get speedbooster, currently i only have 5 etanks and 1 reserve :(

Sneaky Paradox

2007-11-26 05:58:27 pm

I can't remember the max but I'm pretty sure you can have 6 e-tanks but you can do it with 5 e-tanks and 1 reserve. Don't get hit and keep moving.
