Terrible Terry Tate may be bad, but when Red Scarlet gets mad, he better be runnin hard to save his neck, or else the pain train is gonna find itself a wreck, baby! WOO WOO!!
Sweet 100% run red scarlet. hey how do you do that 'murder beam' that's nasty (granted the video compression skipped most of the good frames). I don't think any achievement should be worshipped unless its more than 5 min under this record. I could easily see :58 and :59 because of one or two places you get hit or miss the wall jump. but that doesn't matter. 1:00 100% is a great achievement. at least i now know what 2 missle tanks i've been missing all these years. the one before the speed room, and i think that one when your leaving ridley where the acid rises and falls. man i'll have to play this game again on the console or get a controller for my emulator. this looks like fun. congrats.
... the video compression skipped most of the good frames ...
actually, the compression had nothing to do with the dropped frames. since my capture device only captures at a constant thirty frames per second, and since super metroid is displayed at a constant sixty frames per second, effects which use every other frame were captured in either "one state or the other." a further explanation can be found in the weird stuff section located on scarlet's run's page.
But the murder beam part looks just as horrid on the actual game..you never see the baby metroid at all during the Mother Brain fight until it's garbled corpse is falling down onto you to give you the Hyper Beam.
