Redesign on livestream: 100% in 6:50

I unfortunately couldn't watch your live-playthrough Drew, being in a time where I was sleeping, but hearing you could perform IBJs in realtime is amazing, as well as the fact you completed it without savestates at all. Gonna check the vids when there will be time.

Time bomb set get out fast!

100% in a real-time, one-sitting SMR run... that is amazing, Drew. I forgot to watch at the time, but it's just as well since I'm in the middle of replaying the game and finding everything again. When I'm done, you can bet I'll check it out.

About Livestream: Do videos remain on it indefinitely, or are they only available for a while? Did you talk while you were playing? And can the segments be downloaded, or do they have to be watched on the site?

I didn't see all of it, mainly just the last parts where he got the last 2 Chozo statues, and up to the end.

300/30/30 - 100% Final Countdown and the Happy Dance, and the dramatic zoom in on the Tourian Gaurdian Chozo. Cool

But anyway...

I'm pretty sure he had to use rewind on a number of occasions.

I only used rewind when people were yelling at me to use it

Outrageous accusations.

Quote from Sigfriedxx:

I fully admit the grapple section was unfair and should never have been made so damn hard. but its still a decent challenge, I just should have the save station in that room.

... so it wasn't just my imagination. :p

Turning lurker mode off to ask DrewSeph a couple quick questions. Wink

Which version of redesign was this? I watched your any% TAS v1 run and there was 2 energy tanks in the elevator before hells run. In this version there is one energy tank there, and in 2.1 (The only I've played) there is none.

I apologize if this has been explained before but I couldn't find the information here on m2002, in redesigns readme or on your hacks page. Do you have version update notes anywhere?

Also which version is your favorite? Obviously the one you were playing in your livestream? Is it a bit more difficult or do you prefer it for some other reason if at all? I've heard that v1 was really tough...but I've never been able to find/try it myself.

Finally I just wanna say thank you so much for your work on this hack (Kejardon and everyone else that helped also) , It's a work of pure genius.

Those energy tanks appear at the top of the norfair elevator only if you have not picked up the ones in brinstar or crateria before you get to that point.

Wow Opium...I swear I checked that in the past and it didn't work, but I just tried it on a clean save and you are correct...now I feel stupid for posting at all. Embarassed

I'm still interested in the version changes tho Wink

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

I believe the changes were pretty much bug fixes, and difficulty balancing.

IIRC, the only really major change was a rejigged morph ball puzzle on the way to the first PB tank. You'll notice the early pages of the Redesign thread are full of people asking how you get there. For those of us playing the current version, that's confusing, since the puzzle we've got (the one that accidentally turned out looking like R.O.B.) is easy.

Wasn't there a super bomb area that had a normal bomb path through it in one of the early versions? I think I remember watching that in DrewSephs TAS video.

Also quick question for the forum...Is there a better Redesign map than http://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-content/super_metroid_redesign_map.png what I mean is, is there a map that is actually in-game screenshots pasted together to make a complete map...I know it would be a pain in the ass to make but I was wondering if maybe someone bothered.
