If you're having any trouble with getting those <= 15% endings then this will be a great tutor you can use to help you ... of course you could use Treb's faq at gf too Anyway you'll find aj's run at SDA as usual.
I hope someone keeps all the old records 'cause I'd like to see them all if possible after I have completed it myself. Which won't happen until next weekend :(
Hard 10% in 57:49? I'm at Tourian ready to fight motherbrain at 56:XX... ajbolt is one fast motha.
Well, after doing it a ton of times, that'll happen. It's mostly just like descending through rooms nicely and killing bosses quickly... but thanks. :)
Hahaha, I think you're the first to notice that... I'll get right to fixing that. Teehee.
Quote from I aM A mAnO:
lol... what did i miss?
Yeah, maybe if i can actually beat the game i'll try again faster, but motherbrain is so hard!
ohh... and i use a different strategy than you... i hang on the right side of the left block.. its safe from bullets.
Yeah, I know, but the thing is if you stay down a tiny bit too long, she'll close up again. It does work, but it's not foolproof, and my way is more fun... I think. Anyway, doing a no-hit run kinda sucks (it's what I'm working on now, doing Ridley first and no-hit. I haven't decided if I'm going for 1sm and 1missile or just 2 missiles). The mellows (little deals in hive room) are basically the worst, when you return to the hive room if you didn't kill all three the first time around, the third one is built back up. Which means that I have to attack it from the right, which sucks hardcore because they come at you from too high to shoot. So unless you just get mega lucky and have 2 missiles there (the max, I have to skip the second one I got on the 57:40 because the first one in Kraid has to be skipped by going into the lava... actually, I have to do a two missile run) you're screwed.
I beat motherbrain and missed the escape by like 1 second, i was out by the ship and on the fall down i missed the ship, and when i hit the ground time was up. Arghh!!
Do you dodge almost all of the enemies in the game? Also, do you use the perfect stealth technique to get this time?
Heh, hardly... dodging enemies is hard, but it is faster (sometimes), and the perfect stealth technique is not worth it, I feel, especially since I really don't know how it's done... I can get a good stealth though, except for the first pirate and the second eye laser room, and the time I lose in those places isn't much. Maybe it would be faster, but that's not for me.

I agree. You also get just as good of a stealth as I do ^^.
That's exactly the problem (which is what many people notice, and fail to notice the real number). From a normal perspective, it'd seem like she has 200 missiles, but in a mirrored perspective from her eyes, which makes it correct to ours. :P
for aj it may be wrong, as he's known for his 10% runs (with 004 missiles max) right now, but what's wrong with samus picking up one m.tank on normal and firing one missile at an enemy?

Cause that would be 4, silly.
Anyway, I really like the run aj. VERY good. One question, in the room with all the crawling pirates in suitless mode, why do you turn around and shoot the guy behind you? You know that if you just go full tilt all the way, they won't hit you...
And nate, that's a really cool idea for the new intro. Very cool. But... you use the default imovie font! (Maybe's it's the default Quicktime Pro font, I dunno, but still.) I cannot stress how much less professional it looks with the default font... it really brings to my mind that, hey, I could do that. I don't suppose that future runs would be too much trouble to change, as you have to change the words anyway. Possibly use the old font you had before? (I also think the clock wipe is kinda dorky, but there IS a time passing theme going on and I expect much of it is just it being enhanced by the default font. It'll probably be just great.)

thanks so much for the feedback. only get it once in a blue moon so i try to pay attention when i do. yeah, see, i wasn't aware that arial black was the default font in imovie. it was actually set on courier for something i was doing before, so i thought 'hey, i'll choose arial black!'

I think I'll changed that to say 4, why not. Edit: Nah.... too much effort, I suck at pixel art.
Yeah, I discovered that right after I did this run. No big deal though. Maybe next time.
