Red Scarlet smash! 0:55 run at 100%

It has something to do with the amount of damage Phantoon takes. After X amount, he disappears again. Shooting 3 Charge+Ice+Wave+Spazer shots goes over that amount.

Shooting him with Charge+Ice+Wave twice and then a Missile does not, which allows me to do that last shot with all the beams on.

So I can do more damage to him each round, thus making it only take 3 rounds instead of four.

As for Ridley, the Murder Beam I guess is 'active' on the upper-right corner of the screen, where I shot it. So it doesn't take effect until he flies over there (after I run out of Supers), which is why his tail catches fire and stuff from being hit by the Murder Beam.

45 minutes 100%? I don't think that's possible.
If you mean any%, then k. Wink

Any%. I'd never try 100% in SM, at least not on an emulator.

Two awesome runs(talk about Mochball mania). Man, it seems that all the records are being broken all the sudden. Kip's 1:05 run, both the Super Metroid runs, and now, Wassup Dawg's any % 0:50 run. *grumble* Well, i'm working on beating Dragondarch's 100% Normal (ZM) run(so far i've only gotten 1:03:30) I'm trying again, but I can't seem to get past the first segemnt without messing up, or getting hit by those annoying rippers while i'm bomb jumping.....

Go go go!

BTW, there's only 1 Ripper there in hard. :o

Oh yeah, about Phantoon. Say he has 2000HP, and he goes away after you do 500 damage each time.

So 500 x 4 passes (normal/old? way) = 2000.

But the method I use does say 450 after 3 hits, then 300 more for that 4th hit.

So that'd be 450+300 (750) three times, which = 2250.

Those numbers I just pulled out of my butt though, but that's the only explanation that I can think of that makes sense.

Hmm hmm, I'm sure you can all expect my response to this. :D

But I'll save my silliness for my eternal signature. I knew you'd beat your old record, and Smokey's, but I never expected 0:55. Well done, to Red Scarlet and all the people that helped make the new record possible.

Haiku time!

^aye. Talk about mockball fever or something...

I said this before, but I'm feeling of saying it again: impressive work bulleta. :o. I'm pretty sure you can get below that though.

I'd have to

a) Actually play the game again

and b) pretty much play perfect with that many saves.

I'll pass. :o

It's not going to use the RS Buletta route, since I don't want to watch the video of her beating it. Too boring.

What's too boring about the current record vid that you haven't watched, yet are doing a no-damage run, Goofy?

I didn't know you hated me, too.

Was it that early PB topic? Or the one at SUK in Metroid 1? Or who knows what else you could hate me for.

Meh, whatever. I actually didn't mind you until the other day, oh well, no loss for me.

Or is it that I can come in and play a game that I hadn't played for more than a couple hours every couple years since 1994 that you've likely played a flickerbatload more constantly from 1994 to now, and totally destroy your horrid playing skills?

Oh well, have a good life, jackass.

Stupid shit like this is just one reason I'm not bothering with doing Metroid stuff anymore, all this stupid 'drama' about a damn group of similarly named circuitboards/chipsets/cd's with plastic.

I think it was that one time that you got hit that made the run boring... You didn't use enough savestates... >_>

Oh well, if it's comforting I had no interest in his no-damage run that I thought he already did, nor the one he's planning on doing.

Calling any vid boring while planning on doing that, well, I just have to laugh.

I'm usually very modest, except when people who suck call my shit boring and plan on doing something exponentially more boring.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

I believe the critical flaw here is that she didn't use the Justin Bailey romhack. Shame on you Scarlet.

It's a shame to hear it. Yours and Smokey's runs have been great inspiration to a great many players, myself included. I can understand a reluctance though.

Once I replace my busted SNES and readjust to controller from keyboard, I'll start working on it.

Just out of curiosity, what are you planning to get your BA in? I'm currently working toward my Associates, and getting credits toward a BA in English at MCC (Maui Community College)--Not to be confused with MCCC (Maui Community Correctional Center), which is the island's prison. MCC is a terribly crappy school though.

RS, I may be no one to you... but, I've always enjoyed watching your runs and this 55 minute run is no exception to that rule. I loved every second of it.
However, you must never forget that there is such a thing as a real life. Super Metroid may be the greatest game ever, it may not be. But, it will never be as rewarding as your own real life can be. So, I for one would take a bow, thank you for your Metroid related accomplishments and wish you all the good in the world for the things you are going to do now that you decided to dedicate your time to something else.

/me takes a bow.

History/teaching crap is what I'm trying..and who cares if the MCC school is crap..it's freaking Maui!

Eh, ~7 months (for all the games, not just Super, blahblah) isn't that dedicated..some high school relationships last longer than that.

There's lots of games better than Super and stuff anyway also!

Nobody is a no one to me, unless the person is a douchebag to me/others. *cough*

BTW, my replies to Goofy's statement was due to a buildup of shit that's pissed me off with him.

If random person calls my crap boring *shrug*.

Maui is a wonderful place to visit, but living here is awful, especially if you're a student. I'll spare you a list of reasons why. On the plus side though, I never have to deal with snow.

And kudos on going into history and teaching. Teachers are one of the most underappreciated jobs in the country, and it seems far too few people want to approach that line of work anymore.

Well, if you do go into teaching... I would take yet another bow. It is one of the most noble careers one could strife for.
Education is the only salvation.

Having just seen this run, I gladly welcome our Super Metroid Overlord. That was incredible. Even if I'm still not sure what was going on in the fight w/ Crocomire.
