This is my first proper Sequence Break, and now I know why you guys do it: the sense of achievement is overwhelming. What were your first sequence breaks?
YES!! I just got the Power Bombs and Plasma Rifle early! This opens the floodgates for endless possibilities. By the way, I took this long because I didn't know SBing was possible in PAL.
Mine was the early Space Jump Boots. It took me so long to get it but now I can almost get it every time I try for it (I practice the dash jump every day so I can get it EVERY time). Big thanks to Nate and all the others! (I'm still at the No Spider Ball after Flaahgra part! lol.. but hoperfull I can get it. I know the Chozo Ghosts will be easy.. even without a charge beam or super missile.)
I hear you, MMcLean. that trick is near impossible when you start out :( but its surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. Hold up right as teh last bomb is going off, but not too early so you don't fall before it can go off x_X and then unmorph LATE. unmorph a full half second or, if you prefer, maybe 2 heartbeats after teh bomb explodes.
BTW does anyone here able to find heartbeats an accurate way to measure time in a videogame assuming your heart rate stays pretty much constant? I know it sounds weird but for me it seems to be like a natural clock... people tell me to wait 3 seconds to do something in a game but when I'm really nervous I count to 3 at about the speed my heart's beating at and go too early x_X
I wanna thank anyone and everyone who runs this site, puts up the videos, tells people of the sequence breakers. It's practically breathed new life into Metroid Prime for me!
My first break was Space Jump. Then I got the missile expansions you need the boost ball for. Followed by skipping the boss for the morph ball (yup, I felt the power then too!)
Was even happier when afterg etting the Ice Beam I bomb jumped over the bars to get to the Phazon Mines... Only to get my butt kicked, so I left.
Jumped up Phendrana's Edge without grappling hook and got the power bomb (I was well pleased then)
last night I got the plasma beam without grappling hook OR spider ball... Felt so good to blast Thardus with it.
First was of course, early SJ Boots. Ah...the power was very nice...and MMcLean, you took the words out of my mouth. I was gonna follow TreborSelborn's walkthough on GameFAQs but...now I think once I get Plasma I'm roasting Thardus and then I'll go back and do it. Oh, and I guess I'll get the Charge Beam and Super Missiles too...maybe a few energy tanks...oh well, 33% isn't that bad...

this parallels my original experiences with sequence breaking beautifully. i want to tell you that you are very welcome for everything you take from my site. the story you just told is the core of metroid 2002.
