I don't want to accidently go through the door. In this run, I'm attempting to, at the very least, travel through every door in Morph Ball mode.
What way would the red-x fly if you let it move about?

It could fly either way. I repeated the part a handful of times. Half the time, it'll go right and you'll absorb it. The other half the time it'll go left and... Flickerbat. I s'pose I could redo that segment over and over until it goes right and Samus absorbs it. Sorta like Sess redid each segment of his run to make sure that the Boss door opened with an eye every time.
Quote from JaggerG:
Which one are we talking about here? The Charge Beam X door? You're not hanging on the ladder, are you? IMO it's even harder that way. I just stand next to it.
I just couldn't remember clearly how much space there was for that. Also, being a coward, I'm sure I did stay on the ladder when I played so I had more time between seeing it was a lens and the beam passing through the space I was occupying to get out of the way. I don't remember whether this actually worked.
Charge shot. Jump every time the eye opens. If it is lens, then you should get the heighth you need. If it's an eye, angle down and shoot. There you go.
Does anybody actually plan on downloading my run and watching it? Because I've downloaded them twice (Onto two different computers than the ones I did the run on) to make sure they worked, and they did, but the download count on them is only two. Both me downloading.

:? My folks will murderize me if I download another thing onto their new computer. And just to compress AVI files. Which is a lengthy process I don't feel like undertaking. Therefore, I have made VMV and VMO vids. The Euro version comes simply from that's the version I enjoy playing due to the different languages but no version differences that affect gameplay.
If anybody with a Euro cart wants to watch the vids and record them in AVI and compress those vids, then they're more than welcome to do that for everybody.

But I've got another way that someone might be able to help me. I went ahead and played the VMV/VMO vids over on my emu, but this time I recorded them as AVI files, straight onto CDs.
Like I said, if I try and download another program off the net and infect this computer, my parents will flip. I just tried to download GIMP on the sly while they were gone last night, and I put it on CD to bring over to my computer (That doesn't have internet) and now I can't delete it off this computer!
Anyways, the point is... I have uncompressed AVI recordings of the run on CD. Anybody out there willing to compress them for me if I mail the CDs to you?
can just up the emulator files here and i'll do it for you. ought to be a good test of my new hardware, supposedly arriving on tuesday. also, if you're not using the latest version of vba (1.8 afaik), you should, because it doesn't have the awful slowdown problems the older ones do.
Got 1.8, of course. Would never dream of using an out-of-date illegal devi... Err, emulator... 
Read the blog: sweet. I'll put the files up here later tonight, although it's not that great of a Morph ball run. There were a few spots I'd love to strangled my own hands... But then, it's kinda hard to try and get maximum horizontal distance from a spin jump and not take two or three steps when you land, simply 'cuz your fingers can't get off the keys quick enough...
This goes to show that the mods/admins here are nice people... Despite what Ekard said before he went Sess on us... :?

It was a misunderstanding. That and a bunch of people wanting to call his run "invalid" and stuff. He put a lot of hard work into that run, and it still had to be one of the toughest runs to pull off, "cyborging" it or not.
I'm sure he's here and still reading, just never signing on and never speaking. I know I do that at sites where I vowed never to return. I just go and watch as the little people talk amongst themselves...
Yeah, I've heard that some people only get one file when they hit record movie on their 1.8 Visual Boy Advance. But I still get the VMO & VMV. :?

Well, the vids are being moved now as I post this message.
EDIT: BTW, have I mentioned I hate this run? Problem areas:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/DeathNoble/Metroid%20Images/ProblemArea1.jpg I'm having much trouble with the timing of this bomb. I don't need help here, I'll get it with practice. I just thought I'd show you all that I hate this spot.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/DeathNoble/Metroid%20Images/ProblemArea2.jpg This is a God-awful, un-holy spot. Here, I do need help. Because in all my attempts, getting on top of the cocoon after having a bomb blast you up a block seems to be absolutely random. There is nothing I can do here that seems to make it consistant.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a141/DeathNoble/Metroid%20Images/ProblemArea3.jpg And last but not least, here. Does anybody have any idea as to a way to bomb those suckers without taking damage?

If you're referring to number 3 there, then no. Electrified water. The only solution I've come up with is jumping on them, taking damage, and using that short invincibility time to plant a bomb and spring ball away. At least I've gotten better at it... At first, I was being hit three times, but now I'm only taking one.
I could wait for each shell thing creature to pause on the most left portion of it's movement pattern, barely hop onto the platform, plant a bomb, and hop away. Pixel perfection needed there...

lol no way
I've actually got a recorded MZM morph ball run up to like... well, a little ways beyond the new suit bit, but I suppose I could send in what I've got and see if maybe nate would capture it, to give an idea of what MZM's style of morphball running is like. Not sure if it'd be worth it though; might be easier to just do a new run and submit that.
