I watched half of it, before snes9x inside wine crashed again. I'm in no mood to put up with wine again for now, but I'll watch it again later.

the following 2 things I question: 1) When you fought Mother Brain, I'm not actually sure on if it did or not, but it almost looked like one of the hyper beam shots missed and hit the hand and not the head. Did that actually happen? 2) You could've ended input earlier, as the moment you pressed down on Samus' ship nothing you press can actually make a difference as to what happens. Overall, it was well played, but the item collecting was kind of dragged out a bit, which made it far less interesting (for me) to watch.

Worked for me. While the movie may lack some newer techniques and some situations may have been suboptimal (like the lack of edge jumping), others have been handled impressively well so I've voted yes, the movie definitely had enjoyable moves I haven't seen before. I think there was one place in Norfair where you passed by a yellow hatch, later on you went through it but had a short delay waiting for the powerbomb to open it (sorry, don't know the frame number). I think it would have been faster to drop the powerbomb on an earlier pass, unless that would have introduced lag or opened hatches don't turn blue unless you walk through them.

It's understandable that Catnap222 didn't want to start the movie all over when new tricks were discovered.

This hack is...strange. I don't know if I would enjoy playing it or not. You made excellent use of spinesharking, short charging, and speed-mockballing. I also feel your pain of trying to stay ahead of the Super Missle count. I'll vote yes. A good addition to the hacks section.

Wow, that was utterly unpredictable, to mention a game (not really a game on its own, but it doesn't really matter, does it?) in some thread on Nesvideos, and then to receive a full and extremely well executed TAS on it. What can I say? Voting yes! This movie really entertained me. It really is one of the best (if not the best) complete SM-based movies around, I'm with Graveworm here. Considering the fact most of the items in Metroid Legacy are very well hidden, it was rather pleasant to watch these obscure locations unveiled (and the hack itself is a gift for various tool-assistance and sequence breaking). Not that it doesn't have some flaws, and may look somewhat unpolished for an established TAS community, those flaws are all minor and not really noticeable for an unexperienced player. Having a revised version would be good, but (at least considering the movie length, not to mention the difficulties of SM optimizing) it hardly costs the shot. As Saturn said, there will always be a first version. I say thanks to catnap222. Man, your movie is great! Do you plan to make another one (say, fastest possible any% or another version of 100%) using all the modern techniques?

I voted no. I dozed off mulitple times watching the run and I had to stop and take breaks several times in order to give as much attention to the run itself as possible. This isn't a criticism on the performance of the author so much as the fact that a 100% run is just not entertaining. The hack doesn't really introduce anything new to the game beyond a different map, nor is the map design inspired or new enough to make the different level design interesting for a TAS. 90 minutes is a long time to be sitting watching any individual speedrun, especially speedruns which do not significantly vary from existing runs (the regular Super Metroid runs on the site were actually more interesting because I was unfamiliar with the tricks associated and seeing them used in familiar places to do unfamiliar things made the runs interesting. Seeing them used again in unfamiliar places is not as novel).

And I will challenge Legacy TAS run again, but not decide how play to make.
