early missile expansion of Brinstar

2006-10-07 09:53:14 am

It would be very hard to bomb jump and not hit the rippers, but nice find. Although, for 100%, I think it would be faster to grab it on the way to Tourian. (I could be totally wrong, because I haven't done a 100% real speedrun.)

I said already it requires luck but i did it! I´d also say that it´d be slower to get on the way to tourian!

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

If it's the one right next to the left side of the green part of Brinstar, I think I bomb jumped up to that missile in my old runs, long, long ago.

I think your run was hard mode. There are only 1 ripper on hard mode, but this expansion is much harder get with normal mode, because there are 2 rippers, and 2 ripper made bomb jump couple times harder made.

I not never tried that on normal mode, but i know it is harder, but i think not impossible.

EDIT: this is worst way on normal mode. i get that expansion before Tourian my 100% normal run, because it is little bit faster and easier way..

I think this is faster way on hard mode. Kridly get early expansion his new 100% hard mode run

No, it saves some time before ice beam and Kraid, but on hard mode there´s only 1 ripper!

Yeah i know. Can you read my wrote/reply again. Wink

It is pretty worst way on normal mode in my opinion, but not hard mode. I not sure is it any faster on hard mode but i think both way are as good.

Dragondarch not use that route his 100% normal mode run and i use same route as Dragondarch. My opinion Dragondarch route are best possible 100% route.

Only expect: Kridly found couple very good trick in Ridley lair segment. I like his Ridley lair segment, because there are lot very good parts and strategys. grin new

It's still doable on normal, and was already known. That was the point of my reply. :o

Yeah, I do it con frecuencia, since I'm an IBJ whore. :)

2006-10-20 12:03:05 am

Wow. I can IBJ (and diagonal bomb jump, and double bomb jump, and diagonal double bomb jump, and horizontal bomb jump), but I can't do this most of the time (more like never). You can do it most of the time? Wow.

Bombing is about the only thing I'm good with, unfortunately. Example gratis, I can barely wall jump with two walls. Rolling Eyes

2006-10-20 11:43:19 am

Interesting. I always found wall jumping easier, like most people (probably).

Yep. Same here. I really hate bomb jumping. XD

I can't do the double bomb jump for life. I'm reasonably good with the single bomb jump but that's only when I manage to get in it, and I hate that too. >_<

I love bomb jump, only expect are i not like bomb jump on GBA player, because it is so different.

diagonal bomb jump is my favorite.

2006-10-20 01:40:56 pm

I don´t like diogonal bomb jumping as MASTER-88 does, but infinite bj is easy and cool.For example, that bomb jump out of the chasm after getting power grip is difficult for some people, but not for me!

Look, witty text!

I can do infinite and diagonal bomb jumps, but I can't pull off horizontals.

I also find walls jumps to be more difficult than bomb jumps, overall; I'm quite fine with two walls, but I just can't seem to get very far on just one wall usually. The ajbolt89 Ridley fight is nothing short of mind-blowing for me because of that: I find it easier to just dodge the tail attacks in Morph Ball mode.

I find normal bomb jumping harder than double bomb jumping. Probably because I never normal bomb jump anymore. I'm probably better at HBJing than I am at regular bomb jumping, which is kind of sad.

I can do all bomb jumps, but just that horrizontal BJ over acid pool is too long travel for me.

Diagonal and infinite bomb jump are very easy for me only expect are GBA palyer made Infinite bomb jump almost 50% harder made.

Can you start a IBJ from after Wall-Jumping

Pretty interesting

I not never tried that.

i can made wall jump after bomb just like Transience and Kridly.

You working 9% normal TAS how good time you try. My time on console are 43.40. Can you complete 9% normal sub 40 minutes on TAS.

No you can´t! If you morph after a spin jump(which you do after wall jump), you fall directly down if you morph!

No it's possible, I've done it in my 9% TAS. Here's the video
I've done it once before as well, but I failed the IBJ after that Rolling Eyes
