I can't bomb jump anymore! Doing it so much made my arm and thumb so tired that I can't keep up a steady rythmn anymore! So I figure I need help. And to DZ, I can't watch the video cause I don't have w/e it is you need, so yeah...w/e. Anyways, I'm really pissed off right now because I've been trying early Varia for two hours straight and I can't get up to the first ledge. Please excuse the profanities below, I put it in spoiler tags:

FUCKIN BITCH! MOTHER WHORE! I HATE YOU! SUCK ON YOUR ASS!!!

Um...okay, whatever, man. Well, you gotta lay a bomb right when the first bomb goes off, but I find it helpful to wait a bit after the height of your jump, maybe half a pixel.

Erm...I didn't say I suck on your ass, just plain suck on your ass. Though I was talking to Metroid Zero Mission so...*bad mental images*

Ready and willing.
My advice? Take a break. Like you said, you've played so hard you've lost your rythmn. It's suprising how many times I've gotten back on a game and done something the first try that drove me nuts before.

Yeah, actually I was gonna take a break to finish Golden Sun. But it's just so addicting...however, I think I will. I'll start up the file for my friend's to play so they can be happy. We're all happy! Yay!

Don't know if its just my emulator running slowly or what, but I can just tap the bomb button in perfect sync with the Brinstar music and rise quite quickly :)

Chichillax: To watch my video, you must have WinRAR (freely available at http://www.rarlabs.com) to uncompress it, and Quicktime (also freely available at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/). The compressed file is in RAR format, and the video itself is in MP4 format.

What's everyone's obsession with mp4 around here?  I'd never heard of it before I came here.

Something wrong with trusty old divx?

Nate used to use MP4s, cause they're all... Mac-y, I believe. He's switched over to plain DivX now, but we've got a few stragglers.  Wink

try QT Alternative.  Just google "Quick Time Alternative", it's... really more efficient, yeah...

In a related story, disaster struck yesterday when I lost the ability to wall jump properly. It seems to be working today, but some problems have been reported. I've been trying to work the kinks out, and some say it may be where I play that affects it. As it seems, I have better success lying in bed face down than sitting back on a couch. More on the story as it develops. Back to you, chinchillax13514.

lol. nice news broadcast. try taking a break for awhile. Hours of frustration can easily be overcome by minutes of rest. Get back to it when your blood temperature's down.

Thanks Jagger. Well, I'm working on a sub-hour 15% run (at least below two hours) and I've decided it's probably fastest to get Varia before entering Norfair, so that way I don't have to go back and get it before Ridley. I'm having lots of trouble here. I can now do IBJ, but on an off and on basis. There have been three casualties thus far. We'll get back to this tommorow. For now, let's head to our personal interest feature. Our topic is a symposium on the diseases of sheep in Western Australia.

lol, yeah, I believe if you're gonna get the Varia at all before the fully powered suit, get it after you get the bombs, and then if you suck at HBJ (or even not a master at it), go to Norfair and beat Ridley next. This makes skipping Acid Worm much easier, having the power grip already. Then, of course, pick up Speed Boost, and if you got High Jump, cross your fingers on MB and MR. Hope you have enough supers.

Well, I'm not picking up Speed Boost personally. For me, it's 3 Supers, 2 Energy Tanks, and Screw Attack. Speed Boost just doesn't really seem that useful personally. I'd take Hi-Jump if I had extra room though.
