To all those who have, like myself accomplished this incredibly difficult shinesparking trick(I now HATE all types and breeds of fish, by the way  :x ), this is where you can speak of your experiences in the horrid sector 4. (vote #1 is mine, if this isn't allowed im terribly sorry, being new to forums like this  Embarassed )

Ugh, I wimped out. I did get the message, but I didn't shinespark to get it...right outside the data room, I shot a missile diagonally into the hole and froze the thing without it inflating...

You can do that?  i thought that the puff-up spiky thing was too low to hit w/ a missile.  :?

Hey, Nate, I wanna see that. That would be an interesting vid.

Oh, and yes, I've seen the secret message. Who wants to touch me? I SAID WHO WANTS TO TOUCH!!!  Evil or Very Mad

And yes, I've also gotten it myself dozens of time.

Wasn't there already a vid of that?

I got it too BTW.

Something else too. I nearly found it w/out lookin at net sites and things like that. It was when I was a newb, and could find my way out. I nearly got up to the top, but then I found the red room. Meh.

...HOW!?  I went to that spot in my file and spent like half an hour shooting missiles at the thing, but couldn't hit it! Evil or Very Mad  Evil or Very Mad

Is there a screen of the spot or any vid of this?  Its driving me up the wall that i spent 6 HOURS trying the cursed shinespark method when there was an easier way!  :x

Please tell me....  :(

Here's a little trick to Samus's missiles. They always move at a 45 degree angle from SAMUS when aimed diagonally. So when you are running, not only are they moving in their own diagonal path, but they are also moving along with Samus (to keep the 45 degree angle from her) at her speed. Making it about a 30 degree angle from the ground, giving it more horizontal distance.

Now use this trick when shooting down-left. Space jump under the platform a few times to get rythm.  Then jump left and fire a missile, while still moving left.  This will give the missile more horizontal distance, allowing it to squeeze in and nick the enemy.

Is all that shinesparking really necessary to get to the message? Why does the shinesparking have to start in AQA? I watched the vid, and at one part (the room before you lower the water level) the player had no shinespark and then generated the spark via the speedbooster in that room and shinesparked to get the message.

What are you talking about, man? That is AQA, and that is not when you get the secret message. It's after you defeat Nightmare, not Serris.

One shall stand, one shall ball.
No secret message for me, ever, as I'm too lazy, suck at holding a shine spark for extened periods of time, and I probably wont touch Fusion again for a long time thanks to ZM.

Heh... i know what you mean about not touching Fusion. (cough wall jump hack bomb timing wheeze) Also, didnt you notice that the damage system was SCREWED up!  I run through sector 2 after beating Nettori, get hit by like 3 KiHunters, and find myself at the Recharge Room with 56 energy left! WTF is up with that?!

The Fusion suit is the organic (Which makes it softer) parts of her power suit.  So they made it more or less real like.

Obviously, they went with more real rather than less.  :P

Did you get hit by the 3 kihunters several times each?  Laughing

2004-05-17 07:20:16 pm
Actually, no i didn't.  Just once each before i blasted them.  They were all in vertical rooms.  I would be walking along, and then ZOOOOOM!!!  A KiHunter comes out of nowhere and slams into me, sorta like the skrees in Maru Mari.  :P

2004-05-17 07:49:18 pm
Aahh...... the Kihunter...... the bigger, not as strong sister to the all powerful skree.
