Question: Could a SS 9% run of normal be on SDA( meaning record it?)
Should be, 9% Normal is less than 10% Hard (5 missiles vs 2 missiles and a Super Missile) so it's 5 missiles vs 7 missiles

Eh? The SDA ZM page says: "Runs on easy are not accepted as it's not different enough from normal. Similar for the low% category: 10% on Hard is actually less than 9% on Normal (4 vs 5 missiles). 9% Hard is possible on the European version."
There does not appear to be a single-segment low% on any mode currently posted, however.

A lot of contradiction on SDA isn't there
Where is that contradicted elsewhere on SDA?
As long as one option for 10% hard gives you less to work with than 9% normal, you can't argue that 9% normal is least. I suppose one could make a case for 10% hard with screw attack being lowest considering the boss battles and zebetites, but regardless, 10% hard with missiles is less than 9% normal no matter what the ending screen says, so a 9% normal run would not be lowest.
I have no idea how the SDA people would feel about SS 9% normal, I just think your reasoning is faulty.

Chozodia: I'm trying to get into the room that's halfway down the big shaft in the Chozo ruins. It's cordoned off by speed booster blocks.
in the area after the fight to regain the suit, there's a bit where you get to try out your brand-new Gravity addition. There's an easy Super tank at the end of a shinespark-length hall, but the more intrepid can use a series of ledges going up the vertical shaft to recharge the spark, then screw attack through some blocks in the next room, allowing you to drop down the shaft and use your charge to bust into the room detailed above.
I can hold the charge just fine up to the top; my real problem is twofold: how to consistently screw through the blocks in the next room, and thereafter, how to hold the charge for that somewhat long drop down to the pertinent area?
(I'm sure that was quite a muddle, considering the time of morning I'm posting. --;; )

I completely forgot about that ledge, even though I've already grabbed the tank. Thanks. ^^; I still need to work on screwing through those blocks succssfully, though... I wish I had the time to download even one segment of a 100% run and watch it; I rarely have more than five to fifteen minutes of box time at one sitting. T_T

I watch long time ago Kridly 100% Hard mode run. He use double super missile shots against Mother brain.
Is it hard trick and how much you can save time if you play normal mode?
My Mother brain goal was 31 seconds my 57.15 run, i break glass lot faster because i uses Super missiles. I not use double SM shots against boss, this is very new trick. I not never practice that.
Annoying i not can watch Kridly video now, but can somebody tell me is it good/faster idea use double SM shots here?

My battle 31 seconds includes barriers +Mother brain. Transience any-% MB battle was 45 sec my 100% battle was 14 sec faster.
I think Kridly method was faster on hard mode, but he not use super missiles against glass, because you not have enought SM on hard mode. I uses SM on glass my normal mode run.
I must be practice that if i try new WR time, probably it is faster.

Don't read this! Please don't! I said NO!
Ok. In the videos with the Mother Brain tricks you see that his screw attack is clear; you can see Samus's suit. However, I also noticed he had no Varia suit, so, I didn't pick it up, and I got to the Screw Attack, and WHAT? It showed normal screw attack. 
And another Question
Are you supposed to hold run as soon as mother brain explodes to get the shine? If so, then I gotta do that more often.

Time bomb set get out fast!
Yes, you can build up a charge by running into Mother Brain as she explodes. It's odd, but handy.
As for the Screw Attack graphics, I'm not sure what you mean by "clear," but don't panic if what you see in the actual game is a little different from what you see in low-quality QuickTime video clips. It's to be expected.
