I'm not sure if this is new but I managed to get this after screwing around while being bored. It started from Sess's Nettori battle (of shooting a Missile right after the Charge Beam) and I decided to try the same trick against other bosses: X-BOX, Ridley, and mostly importantly SA-X.

This saves the hassle of waiting for SA-X to stop her Screw Attack  since you keep her frozen for all eternity so you can shoot her as soon as you charge up. You also stand directly in front of her so the flare always deal damage.

Edit: I used VBA 1.7.2.
Thread title: 
It might be safer, but with the screw attacking, you can shoot immedietly after charging, so you don't waste time shooting missiles.
I thought about that except when SA-X does the extremely high jump, it costs a lot more time whereas actually firing one Missile's time is pretty moot. Plus, I compared this to your 0:50 battle and it came out about 15 seconds faster.

Any chance of someone making a non VMU video of this?  I really can't be arsed to find a Fusion ROM...
i can do it tonight if no one else does it first.
No, not a chance in hell! Bwahahahaha. Ahem, check first post again ;)

Thanks.  Cunning strategy you've got there.  Very original.

That's not any less shots, is it? Do the missiles do ANY damage? If so, do they do enough damage that allows you to defeat SA-X in a previous encounter? I'm not sure if the beam will be strong enough to defeat the 2nd form though, but still....

Didn't you see WD's avatar and video of her SHINESPARKING through the SA-X in a previous encounter? Nothing's gonna cut it.

I have, but I thought that was during the SA-X FIGHT, and I was wondering how the hell he did that. Then I responded to a post and forgot about it. When was this?
The Missiles don't do any damage. It prevents the SA-X from moving completely so you can pummel her with Charged Plasma/Wave Beam at point blank range without the fear of her using Screw Attack and preventing damage. The point blank range does reduce the amount of beams needed to about 6 shots or so since the flare always hits. Compare this battle of about 7 seconds for first form after SA-X lands versus WD's 22 or so seconds in his 0:50.

Sorry this is off topic but when I open a .avi file it instantly uses Windows Media player.... but then I can't watch the clip I can only hear the sounds and watch some visualization. Any ideas?

i hope the intended antecedent of 'her' is 'samus' ... or else we've had yet another gender bender on this forum.  Rolling Eyes

Avatar-itis, again, from when he only had his record time with Samus' face on it.
dang, wonder how many people think i look like hilary duff.

good thing i put in that shot of my ugly mug sticking out my ugly tongue to balance her out.

A worrying proportion of your avatars are female, Nate.  If you're not careful, people are gonna think you're a woman.  Then they'll call you "she".  Hehehe...

BTW, is that you next to the armadillo?
no, that's me next to the human.


...


yeah, it is.

Where the hell do you get that close to an armadillo?

EDIT:  Is that you riding the pig?  :D

Heck, I already have to fight avataritis against Nate. However, that's from when he had that painting of the wierd girl as an avatar. (Actually, that could've been a boy... it seems girlish, but also gender-neutral.)

As for people who've only seen the wheel of avatars, I wouldn't worry about avatar-itis... most of the pics aren't of people at all.

So wait...WD can shinespark in real life? I haven't seen the pic of that, or a pic of the real SA-X.

WD's a girl? What's the world coming to? Who started that topic confirming that they were, in fact, a guy? I think it was around March....

I should make a vid of ME shinesparking. I know how to do it. Just give me some time.

Do the escape shinespark home from school! That one is SWEET! So well thought out!
But are there enough ramps to preserve the charge?

Just bring a few pieces of cardboard with you, and make your own.
