I('d) like to watch (some MP3 runs)

The last 2 for me to find were:

The one in Kraid's area where you need to use a Power Bomb

The one in Maridia in the room with that mom turtle and an Energy Tank in the room.

Did my 2nd single-segmented and skill-based 100% speedrun and fixed some route detours of the previous version to improve my final time to 1:07 which is the best I could do now.

Made a few new runs recently.

Improved my any% to :49 with 27%. Used smokey's route and the 27% is the same as on his single-segment run (he picks up the energy tank right after Botwoon). My run was not SS, though. I've already made plans on how I can improve in certain areas.

Also finished my first 100% run, after doing many of them trying to find every item on my own. Got very close to 100% while I was on Christmas vacation up in North Carolina. My younger cousin had an SNES with SM, and this was the first time I've played it on the console in many years. I loved using the SNES controller for once. Beats the crap out of the PS2 controller I'm using at home on the emulator.

Anyway, my *finished* 100% run ended up at 1:25. I used RS's route. That was a fun run to do, too. I'll see if I can keep working on any% and 100% runs.

I improved my 1:34 run, my new one is 0:59. This time, I skipped the grapple beam and I grabbed the wave beam early. Now, I must learn to glitch through the zebetites if I want to lower my time.

EDIT : 0:58, better final boss battle and escape.

100% 1:21 on the console
however im working to drastically change my route with a LOT of tricks im learning from other people. thanks!
Never really bothered with any% runs or low% runs. Maybe I should! God I love this game... I turned a paper on it today for my comp 2 class.

edit: I didn't use the murderbeam or the mockball on that - but I just learned the mockball for my newest run. I don't think ill use the murderbeam on anything - just dont like using it b/c I think its kinda cheating. But thats my opinion.

oh man i dont know why everybody cries about murderbeam in a speedrun , its a glitch like so many others and it saves time !

dave

2006-01-31 08:44:55 am

I wasn't "crying," I just see it as cheating. I don't have a problem with any of the other glitches, just that. Thats the only glitch I dont like.

evilchen

2006-01-31 09:48:25 am

but why? why is this cheating and the other glitches not? i will never understand that :( glitch == glitch || this.murderbeam == glitch too or not ? ;/ ok it mage ugly graphic errors at motherbrain thats true :P

I do understand your point. I really can't pinpoint it though. I dont see the zebetite glitch as cheating because technically (correct me if I'm wrong) you are standing on something that automatically puts you behind a collision box and when you become invincible temporarily you can pass through. I see it as "going under the wall that the zebetite presents and passing through the part that hurts you by becoming teporarily invincible. But the murder beam just seems too cheap. I don't know it's hard for me to explain. I can't explain how the murder beam technically works like I kind've can for other glitches (I don't know much about game programming etc.) but just the fact that it's a beam that constantly attacks the boss and really bugs out the game. To me, and I understand not to you, its too cheap. I don't care if people use it too much but I won't use it.

evilchen

2006-01-31 01:30:18 pm

i understand you wont use it - but it is still a glitch not a cheat :DDDD
well lets stop this discusion i understand what you mean and you understand my point too :D

I did a SS, I finished the game in 1:02.
I lost about 3mins with the mockball for early super and my Kraid battle sucked bawlz.

Missed escape Shinespark, Murder beam'ed Mother Brain and Ridley, missed 6 items initially and had to do a clean-up portion... But overall, it's pretty good considering my original 100% time was four hours and some odd minutes... >.<
