Triclops room = evil.

Also, 2 tank would be impossible. by the time you're in Triclops Pit you'd be dead, just before the ultras.

I got the VMR on my 3rd ever try. It wasn't that hard, I came up with the health farming strategy after I fell and was like f*ck. Like I said though, 2 tanks would be impossible. You need at least 2 to climb up and around monitor station.

When you turned around in the middle of your VMR, I was like WTF!? but it turned out being a very cool strategy.

Also, congratulations on your VMR UchihaSasuke.

You probably don't have to go as far down the hallway as I do but I wanted to be safe lol.

Also, I wanted to make EVERYONE wtf when I turned around ;D

Just watched the video from a few pages back... Shocked

I never attempted one of these myself, but I remember seeing the old video from the main site (With all of the scan/combat dashes in it) and hearing about how difficult the VMR was to do. If I had seen this version of the run before that one I probably wouldn't have agreed with that. It doesn't look that bad compared to some sequence breaks!

Sure, in the "heat" of the moment you may screw up and die, but as long as you know what you're doing and can get good health drops it looks a LOT easier than it used to be.

Prime Hunter: It's loads easy. Sure it might take a couple attempts (and it's a long trick, which might make it seem harder) but it's actually much easier than say IBBF (for most, IBBF is easy as hell for me) and even Geocore without Grapple and Spider.

Jagger ftw

This is what happens if you stand in the middle of flaaghra's flower RIGHT BEFORE the wild cutscene.

The Overlord of All Acorns.

For Wild, instead of having to wallcrawl from Main Plaza, why don't you just use Flaahgra room's secret world. I'm sure it would be faster than the wallcrawl, even though you have to go through the trouble of doing four phases of flaahgra and THEN the genius method to kill it (so that the mirrors stay up).

Or does floaty jump not work in this version? Even so, I'm sure you found a way up sun tower through the use of SWs, so wouldn't going through the boss room and its SW be faster?

Gu3st: I did that too but I the thorns disappeared for me because I left the room after the Wild fight through that door, and I definitely stood right where the artifact would appear as the last chozo ghost died. I don't know what's up with your bug. Seems like this warrants further investigation.

It's definitely easier than anything related to a Secret World, as that's another thing I've never toyed with much in the past for any of the Trilogy. I wouldn't know where to begin with one of those tricks.

Well, you would wallcrawl from Arboretum not Main plaza but it would be faster to just use Sunchamber's secret world. The problem is floaty jump no longer works. You could probably somehow reload the room from that secret world but it might end up being slower because you would probably have to do a longer wallcrawl. Arboretum wallcrawl is 3 rooms and the Sunchamber wallcrawl is 4 rooms.

Metroid Prime, what else?

Breaking News: No tin case for europe Shocked

many european people got the classic white plastic version...

IIRC Sunchamber cannot be accessed anymore due to jumping constraints.

2009-09-02 07:10:39 pm

No, you can make it in. It was hard but it's still possible. That's how I tested out floaty jump.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-02 07:19:48 pm

Oh, alright then. Either way, it'd be really difficult to pull off doing that after a boss (especially after a good fight) if you mess up you might go postal.

2009-09-03 02:59:17 pm

I'm trying to record a VMW with only 2 tanks like Sasuke requested but it's quite annoying.

Making it to the ultra energy will be hard. I suggest trying early space jump to make it easier for your vmr.

I've got some extra tips for early space jump. As you mentionned before, laying the last bomb ealier than usual does give more height. Also, holding up as soon as the second bomb explodes will greatly increase your chances of making it. I used to wait until the unmorph to hold up but it's way better to hold it right before the second bomb explodes.

I've found a small problem with the route. In the route, after Wild you go for World but I just remembered there's still the invisible block over the track in furnace. I guess you'll have to use Gathering Hall's secret world to bypass it.

I'm going for plasma now in my low% game. This may take a while...

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-03 03:48:05 pm

Plasma doesn't take too long, but falling after climbing the room without spider and grapple will make you want to rape a kitten.

2009-09-03 04:15:13 pm

I'm continuing with my low% game now. It only took me like 5min. It's harder because you have no energy tanks in a low% though. MQA will be the huge road block.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-03 04:16:33 pm

I got really fucking lucky in MQA and got it in an hour. I hope you have such luck. Sucks that I died in MQB.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-03 05:00:08 pm

VMR with two tanks, as far as I know I'm the first to do this. Definitely the first one to record it.

T3

2009-09-03 05:13:03 pm

You are the only one to do this, so far. Is it just me or does the video screw up right before you die?

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-03 05:19:38 pm

I inserted about 1 1/2 second worth of frames of me having 3 health, but youtube failed me again and made it look like a mistake. I even nixed the audio and it managed to fuck up so hard it brought the retarded audio back.

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai

now that it can be done with 2 tanks, can it be faster to skip varia? there's no need to go all the way to the 3rd E-tank now.
