Actually, I like this one better, no offense to Swordless, of course. I feel like this one shows off more interesting tricks. But I can see why it will be obsoleted, we have the all dungeons run.

Actually, the run was pretty good. I agree that the cape flying was a bit boring, but hey, you gotta go as fast as possible. Yes vote.

Super Metroid has a 3 minute unskippable cut scene at the beginning. It's fine.
THATS WHY I RATED ALL THE SM RUNS 0/0.
well actually I've never seen an SM run in full, because I don't have an interest in Metroid games except the first.Spikestuff wrote:

Using a save-file simply to skip the intro cut-scene is not normally an acceptable reason to use the save-file. Save-file runs are normally only reserved for where there is a new mode of gameplay, either difficulty or a new map, and so I would say using a save-file in this case would be a mistake.
So you're saying to take the 10 minutes of an unskippable cut-scene.
Yeah, man, I agree! I also think we should use saves that are at the last boss, because, you know, the audience doesn't like to wait. What an absurd thought.

I'm voting no. The run is clearly not very optimized.
*You mashed start to skip the intro. That was sloppy.
*You abused Spawn's more powerful moves, even though the dash attack is faster and kills enemies anyway.
*Some movements are clearly not frame precise, like the wall jumps.
*At the end of some bosses when the Spawn icon is falling, you can use the flame uppercut to reach it much faster then a regular jump.
*Sometimes, you waited in place for an enemy to walk toward you, then beat him up. You could've ran toward him and beat him up. That could've saved time.
*Not related to the quality of the run, but your amount of rerecords seems pretty low for a 30 minute run.
To prove these theories, here is a WIP that saves nearly 10 seconds from the first level, simply from better precision. It still isn't very optimal, so you could beat it.
This game would make an OK TAS because it has a decent amount of variety.
I encourage you to redo, and make new posts for WIPs, instead of editing your first one, because people will not notice your post if you just edit.
