Hey guys, what's going on in...here...

I thought ZM was at 19, RoS at 22.

Using outside material to determine the... ugh, canon of a video game series is really dumb.

Only reason I figured the manga was worth anything is because it was canon last I knew, at least before Other M came out. (Who knows how much of it still remains part of the canon these days with the retcons that have occurred since 2002.) I don't see what's wrong with using it to help us here, since it still has influence on the series to some degree.
And seriously, what's so bad about discussing these kinds things anyway? I don't see the problem with it.

But I mean if you're going to use any material to try to determine a videogame series's canon, there's not much better place to look than the official manga.
The games seem like a better place.
Basically, if it's not important enough to put in a game then or make readily available to those outside of on country then there is no reasonable expectation of anyone giving a shit. It cannot make your argument any more valid than one based on the source. If the source doesn't say than it's not important and can be left to the fanfiction writers.

I find the age discussion as amusing and baffling as people discussing what Samus' height is.
According to the Super Metroid Player's Guide, which is totally canon, 6'3"

The minus button, anyone?
they should have at least used it as a missile selction during gameplay instead of just leaving it alone which the only part i hated about the controls...
I too have to admit that I enjoy the controls very much but everything was just full of shit.
You forget the minus button is the most important button in the game. The cutscene skipping button.

Haha trollin' like a champion.
I'm not even kidding. My fingers claw round towards my body, almost perpendicular. Hitting that B button would be an arse pain, moreso than pointing at the screen. I can do it fine with the MKWii adapter, but that's designed to enable people like me to do it. Without something similar, Nintendo wouldn't be fulfilling it's aim to make the control scheme pretty universal and accessible for everyone.
But everyone with a wii has a nunchuck so there's no excuse there.
lol no way
Oh whoops, that was misinterpreted. I happen to agree on the point that hitting the B button while holding the wiimote sideways would be an annoying situation, and I don't really think any of the buttons were misused. The control scheme didn't allow for an obvious way to use missiles, other than using - like select and giving you a HUD selector like SM (and MZM to that little extent).
Almost happy

Yes, and from that we can calculate that her speed while doing a shinespark is about 156 kilometers per hour. Someone needs to jot this down in the canon ASAP!
Almost happy
Quote from Prime Hunter:
Nope, sorry. Samus' shinespark speed can't go above 142 kph or else she breaks the time barrier! Can't have Samus going back in time now, can we? (For the record, 142 kph is a little more than 88 mph, and the Power Suit likely has equivalent parts to the BTTF DeLorean, right?)
I'm sorry, but Samus height is 6.3 feet = 1.92024 meters. Her height in game is 39 pixels, and her max speed is 15 pixels per frame. At 60 frames per second and 216000 frames per hour she moves 83076.923 body lengths, or 158045.538 meters, or ~158 kilometers every hour. That's right, I just knocked up her speed by 2 kilometers just like that (by not converting feet to meters slightly wrong). Your mind is blown, the show is over. Math bitches.
