this is off topic but does "gorea" the boss of which you speak, a giant noxus looking character?

IMO, He doesn't really look like Noxus. Actually, he doesn't look like Noxus at all. :p

Anyways, here's my record:
13h 40m 41s
gorea 1: 10m 55s
gorea 2: 6m 01s
Deaths: 17 (2 from damage :p)
Hunters/Guardians Killed: 86

I know you're jealous.

I beat Hunters for the first time using the secret
Gorea 2
stage where I got to use the
Omega Cannon
I must say, <3 that awesome remix of Metroid Prime Essence. Anyways, heres my times.

Time: 6h 2m 44s
Gorea 1: 8m 55s
Gorea 2: 6m 8s
Deaths: 16 (about 15 of them are from the stupid Piston tunnel >.<)
Hunters/ Guardians killed: 65
51% (75 missles, 6 energy tanks, 370 UA, and very little scans)
Man, was I just THAT bad my first time through with the whole "Death" thing? Closest I see to my 49 deaths is 34. There were a few times where I killed myself to start a boss battle over, but still...  Embarassed (Most of my deaths were to the later bosses if I remember)

I actually probably had more like 30 deaths but instead of "restarting from the last checkpoint" I quit which doen't record the death.
Just beat it again today:

Time: 3h 10m 14s
Gorea: 10m 14s
Deaths: 2
Kills: 60

I beat it last night for the first time.

Time: 8h50m

Kills: 63

Deaths: 32

Haven't done the
Gorea 2
battle yet.
always move fast
how can you beat the game
without the gorea 2 battle?
With only the
Gorea 1
battle complete, here are the results of my third run through the game (my second speed run):

2 hours, 27 minutes, 11 seconds
23%
Gorea Phase 1 best time:
0 hours 3 minutes 19 seconds
Gorea Phase 2 best time:
0 hours 2 minutes 22 seconds
6 missile expansions
7 UA expansions
7 energy tanks

Pretty good, IMO. I think I can do better, though. Note the
Gorea battle times
are probably not part of my run.
What luck, there's french fry stuck in my beard.
I don't think marking spoilers for
Gorea
is neccessary, considering so many people have already typed
Gorea
without marking the
Gorea
with spoilers.  This whole marking
Gorea
as a spoiler makes the posts that mention
Gorea
look funny.

Ready and willing.
It's the freaking endgame topic, people, so don't worry too much about spoilers. Especially since if you don't get Gorea phase 2, you still get an entry for Gorea phase 1 battle time, which kinda reveals things.

And sparky, if that was a serious question, you simply kill Gorea without fufilling the prophecy.

ah.  i couldn't figure out what to do and just assumed that was mandatory, go figure...

I'm going to stomp on my record when I don't scan.

scans are part of your completion %, just so you know...

So? (S)he certainly doesn't look like she's going for 100%.
I'm currently in the middle of attempting a 100% run, actually: So far I have roughly 34% of the game done after getting three octoliths. I did miss some items, and possibly some scans, from the first three areas though. It's not too bad, since we have to go to each location at least twice anyway.

Since scans factor into the percentage list, it looks like there won't be too many attempts at 100% from me. (Plus, that means that EVERY time you want 100% you need to do the 2nd phase of the battle) I want to do it now just to say I have, and to see if it unlocks anything else. (Doubt it, since I don't remember seeing anything in the guide that says so, besides getting a special emblem on your Hunter's License.) Anyway, once that's done I plan on running a flat out speed run/low percent run. Low percent is going to be a bit more difficult for this game due to the emphasis on action, at least for me.
Beating Gorea 2 unlocks some new movies. Including a better ending movie, where you get to see some Alimbians and also Samus with her suit off.

Personally, I think this Samus looks best in this game. Maybe it's just because of the better movie graphics, but I think she looks more realistic, because she is not super hot like in zm-fusion, because she is not cartoony like in echoes, and she just plain looks better than in prime. Anybody agree with me on that?

I'm male, but yeah, I wasn't going for 100%. I actually can't try it yet, I'm missing one UA and I'm clueless as to were it is.

New time:

Time: 02h 19m 47s
Gorea: 09m 20s [0h 06m 27s/0h 01m 39]
Deaths: 0
Kills: 56
Percentage: 26%
You know, I think I may agree with you on that one. Samus shouldn't look like a super model with the line of work she's in anyway, at least in my opinion.

Oh, and I have replayed the final battle to get to phase 2. I just wonder if there is anything else besides that emblem for getting 100%. Unfortunately, there seem to be quite a few one time scans, more so than in the previous games. (Not sure about this, but it looks like you have to scan EVERY Alimbic Artifact as well before you grab them. Either that, or you get the scan once you pick it up like the weapons. I haven't checked yet since my DS needed to be charged again.)

No, luckily you only have to scan 3 Artifacts. The first, second, and third on a level have separate scans.

So far, the only one-time only scans I know of are:

Cretaphid v1
Cretaphid v2
Cretaphid v3
Cretaphid v4

Slench 1A
Slench 1B
Slench 2A
Slench 2B
Slench 3A
Slench 3B
Slench 4A
Slench 4B

Electric Voldrum (Either it's a one-time scan, or I just can't find another one, I need it to complete my Bioform list.)

Octolith
what about the magama dude?
