Seems interesting. Have to test it out some time and see if I could TAS something.

Electronics is pretty fun stuff. I haven't been doing this much in a long time, but I was planning on getting back to it because I want to make my own guitar effect pedals ^^ Probably starting off with a simple distortion pedal. I also heared that if you success at making the effect pedal, the result might be better than in bougth pedal or amp effect. Also need to learn the max voltages, etc. a guitar and amp can handle so I can make sure they don't break and also could make own "test" pedals and see what they do.

I just completed my first practice run with the result of 25% items in 1 hour and 6 minutes. Still Phantoon and Draydon are what slowed me down the most. As for Phantoon the two Wave/Spazer shots and one Wave/Spazer/Ice shot thing doesn't seem to kill him. And for Draygon, well he's just hard with so few items. I was thinking of getting one more Super Missile and Power Bomb expansion along the way to make him easier. Also, for the Shinespark thing on that YT video, I think that guy who made the video used cheats. It's impossible to activate Speed Booster and Shinespark in space that short. But anyway, how good is the result for first time speedrun and any other tips/alternate methods for Phantoon and Draygon?

Well either Shinespark doesn't damage him or it's just weak. I used like 3 Shinesparks on him and I didn't even see change in the colour of his belly.

I just managed to pull of the Mockball for the first time :) Now that I know how to do it it's just some practice. Thanks for the tips! EDIT: I also noticed that you can reach Kraid's lair with Mockball instead of doing the wall jump thing. EDIT 2: Now I'm at Draygon but the Shinespark trick doesn't work. What now? Draydon is hard at the situation I'm in now. No Missiles and no Grappling Beam. Or is the point I have to hit Draygon with Shinespark pixel precise or something?

Okay. Few more questions: 1. Should I practice with the items on that I have at the point of the game I need to preform this? (Morph Ball and Bombs are probably the only ones) 2. Where should I practice? In the places I need to perform this or in a room with a long flat surface? (Like Crocomire room) 3. Why do I need to release jump and then press it down again? (For some reason knowing why I need to do something (How game reacts to it or how the game registers it) helps me in performing a trick or glitch) 4. Do I hold the run button down all the time?

Okay, I'm confused now. I don't know which instructions to follow.

Tap down once so that Samus is aiming downward
This is exactly where the movement stops, which is the problem for me.

EDIT: to do the mockball: 1) Run. 2) Jump. 3) Perform the morphing animation in midair such that Samus lands while you're in the animation. 4) By the time the animation ends, be holding your travel direction (i.e. left or right).
I'm still not able to do it. I always do something wrong on step 3 since the speed that I have gained just stops. I have tried to do this quiet a lot today but I'm still failing...

I did some research on skipping Spore Spawn and now I'm wondering how to perform Mock Ball. One guide said that I have to run, jump, release all buttons, tap down, tap down and hold jump as I hit the ground. Is this correct? It sounds quiet odd that you don't have to hold left or right. Also, when I try to do this and tap down, the running speed slows down to normal speed or stops entirely. What's going wrong?

Here are some things to ask from the changes you made: -Can I really survive in Norfair's hot rooms with just 2 Energy Tanks? -Is it possible to get to Wrecked Ship without Grapple Beam?

Hi, I'm new here so I Tougth of leaving an introducion here. I'm 19 years old guy and I have watched both Speedruns and TAS for a fairly long time. Also, watching a specific speedrun group (Not saying name cause I'm not sure if it's counted as adversiting) got me into making speedruns too (Currently planning/practicing a run). I have few games on the list right now that I want to TAS/Speedrun. If you have something to ask, feel free to leave it. It can be something about me or about the games I'm going to TAS or Speedrun.

Hi, I'm currently planning/practising a any % speedrun for Super Metroid (Don't know yet if I'll post it anywhere. If it ends up begin good enough maybe to YouTube and here.) and I wanted to ask is my speedrun plan good. Here it is: Complete the Space Colony (a.k.a. Tutorial :D) Get Morph Ball and Missiles (Only the first one. Or should I get both?) Get Bombs (Also trying to avoid the fight with Torizo) Go to Brinstar and get the Energy Tank along the way Kill Spore Spawn and get Super Missiles (Wasn't there a Spore Spawn skip?) Get Charge Beam and the Missile Tank near it Get Spazer Beam from Red Soil Brinstar Go to Norfair and get Hi-Jump Boots and the Energy Tank along the way Kill Kraid and get Varia Suit Return to Norfair and get Speed Booster Get Ice Beam Get Power Bombs from Red Soil Brinstar Get Grapple Beam Go to Wrecked Ship Kill Phantoon Get Gravity Suit Go to Maridia Kill Draygon (?) (and get Space Jump if it's faster to use it) Get Plasma Beam Return to Samus' Ship Use Spacetime Beam to trigger ending I also need tips for Phantoon as I found it really difficult to kill with 2 Energy Tanks If you have anything to change to the list feel free to copy it and paste edited version (Please use green text for added step, red for edited step and strike through for step that I should skip, or something similar so it is easier to read)
