OMG major update!!! I got 1:49:12 100%!! Lol, I did my crappy 2:07:47 yesterday and today I got 1:49:12, 0:58:35 difference!

That'd be more like 0:18:35 difference.

Yay, I have a rival! But Mr. Aran, I do care about not captilizing your name earlier. You can check my times in my sig if you need to.

This might not be my best at all, but my most recent finish was 1:??:01 on normal. I don't have a great head for numbers

My fastest time (as well as fastest low%) is 1:11:xx with 13% of items.

I never bothered to speed run low perent, because they're so hard for me to do, but good luck beating me!

Well, I'm back on the MZM trail after so many months off...

Normal 100% - 56:54 single segment...and the run was craptacular at best. I screwed up a lot of shit that I normally have no problems with, though I AM getting better at the quick Mother Brain kill (I just need to be, well, quicker Wink

)

Nice, DD, but where was the gunship you were having problems on?

Dragondarch

2005-03-19 11:57:23 am

Nothing major really...just mistimed jumps, walljumps, a couple sparks in the WRONG direction (3 times Embarassed

), not to mention a shitty Kraid fight. I'm guessing the sections I did perfectly made up for all the mistakes (slightly slow but near perfect Mother Brain fight, perfect suitless segment, perfect Imago Cocoon)

I dunno, maybe it was better than it felt while playing, but it still FELT like it was crap. I KNOW for certain I can do better, so expect a run within a month or 2 (need some luck Rolling Eyes

)

Required items:

Morph ball
Missiles
Bombs
Power Grip
Ice beam
Varia suit (not really needed but the game adds it when you get the fully powered one)
Unknown item 1, 2 and 3 (Plasma beam, Space jump and Gravity suit)

Heh...I have my own pile...sort of describes the way my apartment looks Wink

Skreemaster

Heh... double dragon.

Now, I'd just like to ask everyone to bear in mind that any times I post are done with an emulator (and save states, unless I say otherwise), though that emulator does spasm randomly.

Therefore my times should be doubled to reflect my actual skill.

Edit: How do you kill the Zebetites with only 5 missiles?

gleepdiddly

2005-03-19 03:19:32 pm

You can destroy the rinkas until you get a missile, but DON'T GRAB IT! Instead, shoot your 5 missiles at the zebetite, then grab the powerup and quickly shoot the zebetite with those 2 missiles.

Ah yes, my latest creation...

*rubs hands evilly*

Overusing save states, and on a spasming emulator, I bring you the first and only... Skreemaster 9%!

Edit: from this we learn that:

1) Mother Brain's room without 2 missile tanks is the hardest room in the game.
2) Save states are the most powerful technique short of frame-by-frame, which I don't have.
3) My emulator doesn't actually work.
and
4) I'm not actually very good at the game.

Time: 1:04:54
Percent items: 100%
Difficulty: Hard
Type: Single segment

Still need a good route, developed my own route, but it kinda sucks, since I always need to backtrack and always is short on Power bombs.

---------

Time: 35:51
Percent items: 28%
Difficulty: Normal
Type: Single Segment

No route, got Screw, not sure if it was a good idea. Well, I made both these on the first try, not in the mood to try again, I don't think I can improve any run until I make a better route.

wow, nice times, especially the 100%.

NO route? What did you do, just teleport from the first room to the last?

One shall stand, one shall ball.

That's what I do, how else could I possibly get my 49 minute time.

Wow, even I could get sub-half-hour that way.

*tries to work out code to make moving right teleport you to the last room*

The way I got mine: with blood, sweat, and tears. I don't think any of those substances actually left my body during the run, but I have it on good authority that they were in there.
