Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past

‘Cliffhanger’ has a double meaning. One is the primary focus of wall jumping.
The second is uncovering the truth behind your mission.
For each map station you encounter, you will also receive Chozo Lore.
The canonical storyline is also changed, in that there never was a M1, M2 or SM.
Nor was there ever a Mother Brain.

Sweet, I was just wondering what I would waste my time on today, and here is the answer :P

EDIT: Holy crap, speedbooster run was nothing short of cruel, was I really supposed to do it with 1 E-tank?

Green-Kirby, ROAR!

Maybe it's just me who fails at this. Since the beta testers had no problem. But I can't find morph-ball. ;/
Oh and I am running easy vers.

Dunno if it is in the same place as in the original version but is so, after you get to the first room with pink brinstar graphics it is on the left side. There is a semi hidden shaft which you are supposed to walljump up, close to the gray door.

Key items are in the same place in both versions (obviously not always so with minor items though).

Am I supposed to have two energy tanks for speedbooster? I always die coming back.

What? You saying that makes me feel I missed something...

Anyway, I did it with savestates of course, I managed to manipulate some energy from the kago, and I had about 2 hp left when coming getting the pipebug refills on the way back...

Oh yeah, DMantra didn't directly mention the difficulty level of the normal vs easy versions (although the list of required techniques for the normal ver should give you a clue). The Normal ver is closer to SM:Impossible in difficulty than it is to Redesign or Limit or somesuch. From my own subjective standpoint, I'd say the Easy ver is somewhat close to Redesign or perhaps GD in difficulty. It's been awhile since I played Redesign though so I'm going from vague memory of the difficulty level and I could be off about that.

Quote from Cpadolf:

EDIT: Holy crap, speedbooster run was nothing short of cruel, was I really supposed to do it with 1 E-tank?

Actually, oddly enough, I forget whether I had 1 or 2 e-tanks in the hard ver. But whatever amount required basically perfect timing to get through was it. I got out of the SB area with literally 01 energy left. The Easy ver was a breeze by comparison.

1. Yay it's released!
2. Damn, I might not have time to play it all the way thru until next week, unless I don't sleep tonight.

I have a bit of time now though. fun fun fun

I am wow ingenious becuase of:

Pause Screen Speedtrick at energy station; saves a lot of energy. I had about 40 energy left when I went to bug refills, with minimal optimization.

This is cool; I thought this was gonna take another month or three.

Congratulations on the release, Dmantra.

Cardweaver

2008-06-26 11:22:41 am

Well, I'm giving up on the hard version for now. Speedbooster wants me to kill myself, and I'm starting to agree. I don't see how it can be done with the one etank. I'll try the easy version later.

Bolognab

2008-06-26 12:10:38 pm

Did you read my last post card?

Cardweaver

2008-06-26 12:21:25 pm

yep, but I had already made my savestate at the point where I am getting the actual speedbooster item, and therefore I am stuck. So I'll try again later, after I calm down a bit/work for the next 8 hours.

Hmm, perhaps abuse pause screen, tas style.

Also, I have been searching a LONG time and I can find no place to go after annoying spore spawn and grapple. I hope you didn't put in a hidden grapple block somewhere;I hate those with every fiber of my being.

EDIT: OMFG CRUELNESS

Just downloaded it, looking good so far, the morph ball was pretty tricky to acquire though. I'm hoping this 1 E-tank problem won't force me to give up or use frame advance.

Edit: Whoo, that was one cruel missile expansion. I'll shut up now.

Hated by all

Boy, I have to say on even some segments of the Easy version, there's a lot of life-or-death situations. Thank savestates and sometimes slowdown (to even help me walljump on a keyboard).

Bolognab

2008-06-26 01:44:58 pm

How do I kill this one? Greengate glitch? If so, it's relatively easy to get stuck in this room forever by wasting your ammo.

I'm stuck in Keruarn, I can't even come close to finishing the first heated room with one e-tank and it looks like I'd need ice to backtrack.

FirePhoenix

2008-06-26 03:26:01 pm

I can't seem to figure out a way to get over to that side. Just got SB. Am I even on the right track? Close?

Playing Easy version.

If you're playing the original version, 1 etank is all you get.

the ability required to take that one out is listed on the requirements.

Whatever, I figured that out at the crab room...I ended up killing that kihunter with supers. And am I the only one who is SEVERELY underpowered? :|

Firephoenix:

wrong way

Lol...

I got charge beam after wrecked ship

FirePhoenix

2008-06-26 03:55:44 pm

Then I guess it's up the red brinstar shaft. Though I can't figure out if I need to do some crazy IBJ stuff or a stutter charge. Both sound a bit advanced for the easy version though...
