Fully. Aside from the final shot to end the round, depending on how many of your uncharged hit/what beam it is.

Hmm, twitch videos won't play for some reason. Is there any way to download it? Or get it on YouTube since that usually works for me?

What is the best beam to use for beating prime phase 2 fastest with charge beam and keeping re-entering/re-exiting? and for low% is it the same beam?

Power Beam. and low% not sure. Probably the same.

Power beam has the fastest animation for entering phazon beam I think, and thus you can do the most damage with it, but ice beam has a longer animation that makes it easy to attack cancel.

i wanted to edit the post to say : don't say phazon beam :P

but yeah idk why apparently some/many ppl use ice beam?! also, iirc it was tomlube who told me ice beam was faster in at least any% OR low% (resp. he told me he thought that this was the case). power beam seems to be logical to me since the transition from lets say wave to plasma takes longer than power to plasma, since for wave/ice/plasma to transform into wave/ice/plasma it must first transform wave/ice/plasma into some sort of power beam and THEN it enhances the "power beam" with the stuff you see from wave/ice/plasma. when you transition power beam into any of the other three, the first step of the animation doesn't have to be done and just the additional stuff must be enhanced to have wave/ice/plasma enhanced. for every1 not understanding what I just wrote, take a close look at the beam switch animations and you will see

oh ok mg2 that makes sense with why ice is being used sometimes (mostly in 21%)

It's possible to attack cancel without ice beam however, ice beam just makes it easier.

I thought Ice Beam 3-pool was faster because Prime will spawn 1 pool after another and it is pretty consistent from what I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong tho

TheMG2

Compared to a standard 2 pool it's slightly faster, compared to a 2-pool with more attack cancelling it's not.

What is the logic behind unmorphing on the left hand side of the platform in burning trail versus the right side?

the enemy on the platform? preference? I don't think there's really much of a reason outside of that.

With regard to the AI of Prime phase 1, is there anything I can do to keep it from repeatedly charging at me in the final chamber? I got four charges in a row, which obviously doesn't give me much chance to damage it.

When I began the chamber I had plasma out and it was red. It charged four consecutive times (which were not interrupted by any other attacks) and did not change color. I switched to wave after the fourth charge, and it began attacking more normally. Is that just a coincidence?

Also, this might just be me, but Prime seems more inclined to charge whenever you have the correct beam active.

he'll only charge when he has the plasma face active. forcing prime to do his swipe attack by staying right next to him will negate this.

Cool, thanks T3.

Has anyone ever successfully transitioned the map from from sunken frigate's Reactor Core to Reactor Access (or Reactor Access to Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma) ?

I have yet to really mess around with it myself, but I remember those doors being an issue in the past when I tried to wallcrawl the sunken frigate (mind you, I didn't know much about wallcrawling back then). I'm planning on looking into it later on my own, but if someone can confirm it possible/not in the mean time, that would be cool.

Is that the Parasite Queen room to the smaller room just before the elevator with the etank in it? I tried for awhile to get it to transition but was never successful. I always wondered if it was possible. I figure it is probably doable but I just don't have the skill/patience to do you it

Quote from T3:

I just had him charge with his ice face active

T3

2015-08-21 12:10:53 pm

oh right, forgot to mention that he will charge at you during any face if he hits you with his ice attack. he'll only randomly charge at you if he's plasma though.

Yeah, I'd just been caught by his ice. Didn't know that had any effect on his tendency to charge though

Is it possible to get the chozo main plaza halfpipe missile expansion without spacejump or Boost ball?

Aruki

2015-08-31 04:05:07 pm

Kill Flaahgra, bomb jump out of bounds in Gathering Hall or Watery Hall, get floaty jump, come back inbounds, jump into the halfpipe.

Other than that, no.

Not even with a vent shaft style bomb jump? Not that I can even do that. I have enough trouble with "whatever that bomb jump is called" without adding in slopes and such.
Oh well. Thanks anyway.

you can bomb jump to it, Biospark of all people had a video of it, but it seemed he removed it. it's the same idea as any other half pipe bomb jump.

loving low%

Its not Very hard. Perhaps harder than 22% vent shaft but in every case, vheck oit my YT video called max% with 21% upgrades compilation. Im pretty sure its done inbounds since it really shouldn't be a problem if you can do the basic HPBJ

Aruki

2015-08-31 06:46:07 pm

oh right, yeah, you can bomb jump to it too lol. That slipped my mind for some reason.
