I just also want to point out that this really is going to fuck up a lot of things for example you don't need Wave Beam for 95% of the items in far Phendrana but it's just suicidal to not
Nice work Baby Sheegoth! I remember having begun with such a list like two years ago but I abandonned it as I realised it's close to impossible to get everything 100% correctly since it's so comlicated to find out the true minimum requirements for each item.
I want to tell you that I have found out you can actually get the Missile Expansion in Gravity Chamber without Grapple (and thus w/o Plasma) and without Space Jump. What you have to do, though, is making the Pulse Bombus appear which they do as the room state changes which - as far as I can tell - only be caused by collecting Gravity Suit.
So, what you do is DBJing on that ice-structure and move away from it as much as possible while not falling down of course (which is tricky). The DBJ is being rather easy for some reason since you basically get pushed onto that tiny platfrom on the ice-structure because you some sort of get bounced back by the roof. When you are as close to the edge of that tiny platform you DBJed onto as possible, wait for one of the Pulse Bombus being in the right place and then do an R-dash with R being held for the entire time and while doing this circle the Control Stick so you can turn leftwards (which is the matching part of bending regular dashes forward). I did that dash on my 2nd try (landing on the structure with the Missile Expansion) so I don't think it's that hard. Note that I had used Charge Beam before to get them in a favorable position so it might not be as easy if possible at all w/o Charge Beam. But I'd say it should still be possible w/o Charge Beam.
Summary for your update: Gravity Chamber Missile Expansion skipped: SJB, Plasma Beam, Grapple Beam needed: Wave Beam, Charge Beam (perhaps not needed) and Gravity Suit in regular game (I think in Randomizer you just need to collect that item that's normally Gravity Suit in order for the room state change to occur and thus making the Pulse Bombus appear)
credits: I have read something about in a post by craztad which was posted many years ago. He was trying to get up there from the place you'd normally dash (in 100%, WITH SJB) but I iirc he actually managed to do it but WITH SJB in POSSESSION (not making use of it though). He wrote something about getting a Ghetto-effect from dashing against that bumpy wall so I thought it has got to be frustrating to try so I thought from where else could you possible dash and then i turned around and figured you can DBJ onto a tiny platfrom of that ice-structure and do an R-dash from there. Yay!
this is super un-necessary just use the charge beam to get the bombu to push you into the ledge
Oh shit and I totally didn't think at that! >_> Anyway, with my setup, it might be possible without Charge Beam so it would still be something.. After all, tho, the whole point in doing that is to skip both SJB and plasma/ grapple at the same time which is kinda rare; it's not gonna see much play since oh well what are the chances you have to do that in a randomizer? ^^
To be honest the other day I was thinking about how it would suck to have something in that spot without space jump because you wouldn't be able to get it
I'm using script 3.1 from rekameohs. I don't really understand why I'm getting this error. I have the settings on default, so I don't see how there could be a syntax issue.
That error comes up when the randomizer fails to create a txt file log when it is run. Tested a few cases on my end without an error, so I don't know how that's coming up. It might be best to just delete the whole "tools" folder and unzip it again. Also, it's probably be best to dump the "prime1" folder again. Within that folder should be "randomizer_files" and "root". Within "root" should be the dumped game, "Metroid1.pak", "Metroid2.pak", etc.
If the error still comes up, I can send you a version without that error check and we can see if the randomizer is indeed running and the error is being displayed wrongly.
My computer was removing gcit.exe, claiming it was unsafe. Doing everything with my firewall turned off and not using chrome has fixed any issues I was having.
So what's the any% WR for randomizer? I'm not talking about the first playthrough of a random seed; I'm referring to a certain random seed that anyone has randomly gotten and kept on optimizing for fun. I assume this is a very extraordinarily fast seed with Wave Beam in Landing Site and Ice Beam in Transport Tunnel B, SJB in Watery Hall, Phazon Suit in Crossway and finally Plasma Beam in Great Tree Chamber?!
