one Charge Beam then spam normal beam shots until it goes down, do normal strat except with normal beam instead of missiles, should always be a one-round.
Ok. I'm trying out a different route that should save a bit of time, assuming I can AWS first try. Basically...
Early Brinstar Cleanup. I want that e-tank since I'm skipping two e-tanks in kraid.
AWS in Kraid, with late kraid cleanup
Upper Norfair Cleanup. Entire point of doing lower norfair cleanup is to skip all refills, and while it's certainly feasible, it's too risky for my taste in a single-segment run.
I'm also trying out jaggerg's kraid cleanup route since I'm doing AWS anyways. The cleanup route meaning, after getting the zipline missile tank, I don't backtrack to the main vertical shaft; i go through the sidehopper hall instead, then shinespark up the bottom-right vertical shaft to reach norfair.
Thoughts?
No I am not doing late long beam. I'd rather do AWS over hive room
