Why did you take off the speed booster (and the ice beam) when you went into the lava at one point to disarm a guardian?
He de-equipped speedbooster because for some reason you can't gain any speed in lava with it equipped you only gain momentum (they are two separate addresses).

Thanks everyone! RT-55J: Most likely, yes. Cpadolf: Yeah, heading towards the end of a long project always boosts the motivation, and the fact that Tourian will probably be the hardest part of the run doesn't change that either. It's actually a pretty similar situation I had with the 100% SoE run in Omnitopia. :-) Kyrsimys: Cpadolf is right. In lava, you can't get any speed if having speed booster, which makes you end up like you would just run without the dash button all the time. Deequipping it is much faster and easily saves the time it takes to enter the menu as well. As for the Missiles, I will need every single one at Mother Brain, due to the Plasma skip. I actually planned to have even more ammo for it, but the new "Phantoon Skip" sequence break and the route change I had to use with it, forced me to skip a few of them. Luckily I found a good alternative to compensate that, so it's not that bad. :-)

Wow. Just wow. Two questions. 1. Why do you think you'll need two more segments? Is Tourian that big? 2. What did you sequence-break to get that allowed you to skip Kraid?

The escape timer alone is 25 minutes. So yeah, it's big.

Solon: 1. What RT-55J said. Additionally comes the fact that Samus loses almost all of her equipment after Mother Brains drain beam, which will slow her down especially in morphball mazes during the escape. 2. Getting the Energy Tank in the Red Brinstar spike room. This triggers the Norfair elevator door to open, regardless of whether you kill Kraid. Not really a true sequence break because of that, as you're usually supposed to fight him later anyway to reach East Norfair, which I avoided again due to the shinespark shortcut after Ice Beam, that again required early Speed Booster. So there are basicly multiple other sequence breaks that together contributed to the Kraid skip in the end.

In the section of your WIP from 2:30 to 2:50 when you are charging the shinespark in the room to the right, wouldn't it be possible to head left instead and charge it on the small ledge immediately when you leave the room with the broken glass?

Nope, it's a fake slope that only looks like one, but is in fact just air. You can see it clearly in WIP 7 when I get momentum right before jumping into the roof-Missiles. Though I was really close to get a recharge in the broken Tube room slopes, but it was still not enough, due to the slopes starting very flat, while the tube edges get in the way just when it would be possible.

People, start brainstorming a TAS-form 100% route. Not naming names, but it is a possibility that a project will start with some people if route ideas are being thrown around. Work together to get a possible rough route estimate ready for revision. Yeah.. I run this shit right here. Bam. Btw, neat devious trick Saturn. :D

Disregard that fact Kriole, let him take it how he wants it. It was an obvious over-reaction. :S As for my snazzy comeback: Respect means SOOO much from people I don't talk to or know in any way. I guess I need to take it back anyways so I can try to redeem some respect considering that is excatly what I'm attempting to get. Having fun obviously wasn't the main motivator to TAS in the first place. Doh. ..Bam?

It should. This community is the main source of your feedback as well as the majority of your audience. The way you tried to "Call the shots", among people who are supposed to be your peers just made you look immature and arrogant. Even more so because you were drunk. Nice going.

Personally, I could care less about having the respect of this community. Now that doesn't mean I'm going to start pissing the community off by starting bullshit or trying to act like a boss. I TAS not to earn respect from you, but to impress only but a few people and to have fun. I do gladly share what I have done so you can enjoy it as well, but as I said, I don’t care about your respect, it is worthless to me just as you are. Ofc, that sounds a little ruthless, but oh well. The only reason I even began to TAS was not because I saw this community and said “oh wow! I want to impress these people!”, it was because I saw Cpadolf’s ingameany% and wondered just how the hell somebody could possibly do that to a game, I want that ability and I want my own movie. Uh.. don’t quite know how to say it, but I guess it would be similar to the concept of beating a video game. It is just as simple as that. Don’t get me wrong, the community is great place for insight and knowledge, which is what I used it for, and I give back by sharing my own work. That in itself is possibly the only reason I don’t just PM the guys I want to share it with. Anyways, just for the record, it makes perfect sense to me that there would be a group leader for the undertaking of an SM:R 100% run. I won’t respond again, as this is pointless. I’ve made my point clearly enough that even a sorry ass like you can understand. Nice going, right?

So predictable. I knew you couldn't get through writing that entire message without name calling. Please, continue proving your arrogance. I don't care about your reason for joining the community, but telling people that you "Run this shit" is just like talking down to them. That's the point i'm trying to make here.

FUCK it is too difficult to not post! THE FUCKING STATEMENT WAS A JOKE TO BEGIN WITH, HOW MUCH OF AN IDIOT CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE. And name-calling PUTS YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. Ofc, anger problems combined with not being afraid/worried in anyway to justify my own reasons always seems to help. Fudge. Anyways, I felt you should know the inital point of the first post and how your the only Asshole who took it the way you did. Uh-oh, showed my arrogance again to sombody, oh wait, excuse me, the community by namecalling. Shit!!! Ok, now I'm done.. I think..

That's hardly relevant to the topic at hand. Why does it matter anyway? It doesn't make my point any less valid. I think we should cut the spam now. My point has been made, and this has just turned into a dirt slinging battle.

I see you're a fan of overreacting. If you have seen any of Spoofer's posts before, you should know that this is exactly how he does post on these forums (therefore no-one did react, except you). Sadly, you do have a point in what you are saying; not only respect but also what people say will affect how they will be treated on this forum. Just look at Saturn and his recent submission; he posted a run of high quality, but his popularity in these quarters is pretty low, thus it was torn apart. But I sincerely doubt this will happen to Spoofer, given that most people actually grasp the concept of sarcasm. And please be rational enough to not respond. Obviously we are already way off-topic because of such a trivial matter.

So, about that Metroid Redesign 100% route. DrewSeph asked me to come up with one ages ago, and because I'm lazy at such things I never ever did. I guess finding the dependencies for the items was a bit of a daunting task, especially considering that I have no hardcore Super Metroid TASing experience, (not to mention no time) (I think he became rather irritated me and I'm pretty sure he hates me now, kekeke) He was nice enough to provide me with locations of all of the items at the time though, in a lovely, large map. The rub is, Drew asked me not to release the map, so I will honor that request, I can, however, confirm that it exists and I have a copy at least, so if you can convince Drew that it's AOK to get that information on the easy without having to puzzle out the game for yourself, you might be able to score yourself a copy. If Drew neglected to make a backup and lost it somehow, just have him contact me and I'll hook you up.
