Hello! I watched Sniq's any% TAS (using a new route) and the commentary said something about freezing enemies and hitting them being able to open green gates and saving a super missile. I haven't been around for years so this made me remember a question that was around when I still posted here: has the Red Brinstar green gate entry to Maridia (from the wrong side) been broken yet, or is there a consensus whether or not the gate can be opened from left?

That RBO Saturn posted has totally redefined the term "rape time" to me. I also couldn't tell the last time I was so entertained by a TAS run, I actually started to feel sorry for the bosses in this game. What an amazing run, now if you excuse me I have a jaw to pick up from the floor.
Oh and that new any% route idea sounds fantastic entertainment wise, if it would be faster too the run would be a gem to watch.

<Kejardon> I'm confident power suit alone would be usable to make Zebes explode
If I don't own MacGuyver's job in the next 24 hours there is no justice in the world.
I'm still very curious about this.

It confuses me that I don't know does Kej want to blow up Zebes with Power-Suit ONLY like after the landing somehow, or does the trick require other items as well.

To be honest this sounds extreme enough to be kept secret, the Kejardon wants to blow up Zebes with the power-suit. I'd rather be hit off of my chair big time than get hints and guess what's going on and then watch it without the surprise factor. :)

Do you keep your speed when jumping from mockball with the springball and unmorphing? Maybe try to open it with spring ball (I know it would be of no use..) so that you take all the speed you need from the hopper room then mockball into the tunnel and jump->unmorph in air and shoot towards the gate?
Someone has probably tried this already and it wouldn't add anything to the routes anyway. (?) Just a random thought.

Woah, it's been a long time since I checked this thread and now there's a mysterious video involving the green gate opened. o_O Kinda funny that the vid shower first jumping around with the Etecoons and next you get a succesfully opened green gate, assuming the vid is legit.
So are people now going to systematically try different patterns with subpixel positioning and shinespark? Also, what is bruteforcing?

Yeah I remember thinking of this couple of times, but never testing it I'm used to my ideas not working so.. I think if you could get more speed and make it from the second pillar like moozooh said, you could make it but I don't know where do you get the speed from, going to the room left would only make it longer to set up...
Also, I don't think anyone has tested that past-WS skree room strategy left from missile lake I was talking once, without speed boots it's said that you'll hit the thing coming from the roof but with speed boots could it be used in 100% run? You can shoot the skree from the door and by the time you CWJ from the lowest step you can probably collect the pickup, shoot the floor in air, dive in and fall free to the door.

I refuse to watch this until I get the lua script to work that removes all door transitions and item collection pauses, when I get that to work it'll make me cream myself. No yes vote until that.
I can just imagine the speed..

I'll watch that later, but here's an idea I had when leaving WS in some run: When you enter that skree-room where you gotta do that fall, can't you gather speed and CWJ from the lowest step of those 3, then in air diagonally shoot down to the floor and drop there morph in air and to the fall? You could manipulate the skree not to be in the way the only thing I can think of why this wouldn't work is probably hitting the ceiling thing or if you gather enough speed not to hit it the fall wouldn't work but has this been tested?
And yeah I'll get onto that WIP.

The GT fight brought a teardrop in my eye. This was the best WIP so far, the way you got out from disarming Guardian 3 was awesome.
Please don't make us wait another year, my hunger for this run is huge. Awesome job.

Yeah Kriole hero had another technique that could also be used in your run: When waiting for that PB to blow in the transition between green and blue brinstar get a short charge and then mockball to the other room, that way you don't have to stop in the blue brinstar sidehopper room to get the charge again. I'm pretty positive it'd be faster.

Wasn't the walljump method to the Etecoon PBs faster? Also, why didn't you use hero's way of doing that Dachora room with the speed booster and wave, I thought it's faster.
Then again this RBO so far has numerous orgastic small stuff, like the kago ball room blue suit using. Awesomeness to the max. So this the gain you were talking about against your old run or..?

Woah the RB fall was amazing. Can you CWJ on the way back in that skree room from the lowest corner and shoot the floor open in air and then fall in there? Just a random thought, or is the ceiling on your way. You can shoot thing out of your way with a missile. I'll edit my thoughts on RBO v4 after watching. This any% WIP was superb.

I'm very glad your run is at good speed right now, there's a lot of choices to be made due to the timesaving glitches but I believe you'll make the right ones.
Good luck.

Oh damn I only now remembered while I was gone working CPadolf and hero got their NBMB done and through! I still haven't watched it, better get at it. Good job in advance.
But hey, where's your 100% run proceeding at the moment if I may ask?
