Woah what the hell! :D I never knew that something like this was in the game, Samus in pretty much invincible there. This adds my wait for the Kejardon-run even more. Nice one Saturn!

Nope, it is one if about 70 little improvements I have for my new run. An unoptimized run using this new tech saved 10 frames. I showed it to moozooh a long time ago, he confirmed it. It's kinda funny how the "fastest" methods are all slowly being obsoleted.

Haha, it is. I'm curious about the CWJ there... Got smv?

That was the most 5 thing ever! The best one I've seen, period.

Yeah Saturn is back! I really liked both of those videos, too bad other one of them again spoiled a part of your RBO, but this time you didn't keep anything secret. ;) I'm really hoping to see some progress in your runs, Redesign WIP 5 has been on my mind for a long time. Also, I hope you check the WIP 2 of my Super Metroid Impossible TAS I've started. And I think you know already but the X-Ray has been found.

Thanks Hero, it sure is. And I hope you're going to like even more what you're about to watch hopefully: Super Metroid Impossible TAS WIP 2 This is probably my finest work ever in TASing, really. In Gauntlet there are easily improvable spots but I didn't test all the possible strategies, and in many places it was faster to take damage from acid for 1-2 frames. This run stops 1 room before Red Brinstar. Spore Spawn is one great fight, another TAS fight I'm kinda proud of. Enjoy the WIP. And please give some comments, all of them are welcome.

Thanks again guys, I'm now done with Spore Spawn and am at the missiles after him. :) I 2 rounded him, 5 missiles a round. His health is 960 and missiles do 100 damage. Had some troubles with getting 5 missiles a round in the beginning but finally got it to work. I even optimized some rooms before Spore Spawn in Pink Brinstar because of sloppy refils and saved a whole 2 seconds! Hero thanks for saying about walljumping from a door in CPadolf's submission, it saved me a frame or two I think. :) Ok now I'm thinking about when to release the next WIP, how far do you guys want to see the run, because at certain point I wont post anymore of 'em to keep rest of the run surprising. :) I hope Saturn would come back where ever he is, he sure would have ideas as it's his hack.

Yeah, it was only later until I realized that, a bad mistake. :-( But if it would've been slower in the end I don't think I'm going to be to sad about it. There's always the chance it would've gotten me a second damage boost from those green pirates (2nd last room before green brinstar elevator) and would have been faster, but again it's too late now and I think I've gotten some nice strategies. I think I'll be at Spore Spawn pretty quick, but have no smv's on how to TAS the fight. My guess is that I can shoot pretty many missiles inside it in one round, but even that way I wouldn't know how many is the limit and how many rounds would it take. Saturn's SS match in Redesign WIP took 2 rounds if I recall correct, but if in Impossible his health has been increased then I guess 3 rounds? I'm very glad you liked the fight CPadolf. :) I'm thinking on the moment when to release the next WIP. EDIT: Current progress - at Spore Spawn. I think this fight is harder than Bomb Torizo so if you could give some tips? I'll try to figure some stuff on my own too though.

Ummm... I guess there isn't any reason, just me not thinking stuff through and making the run few frames slower? I'm not aiming for very tight optimizations, so I'm not going to redo the fight because I did a mistake. I'm finished with Gauntlet and am now in Green Brinstar. I'm proceeding with the run nicely.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/275863798/Tonski%20-%20Super%20Metroid%20Impossible%20TAS.smv Here's the first actual WIP I'm releasing of this run, already did the Bomb Torizo, but thanks for the smv anyway Bob A. :) I think the Torizo fight is pretty good, but I'm no master in TASing. I'm now already in Gauntlet, where I have a question for you: Should I just wait until the acid goes down, because I'm on 59energy and the acid pretty much kills me in seconds. I guess I don't have any other ways of going forward unless you got some ideas? Enjoy my work so far.

Ok I'm at Bomb Torizo now and for this a few pointers from you guys would be appreciated, since I've never fought this boss using frame advance.

Yes, like Cpadolf said, the key to performing the CWJ is actually to release the forward button for a single frame anytime during the jump. Doing this can bring the odds of a CWJ possibility from nil to almost guaranteed. Amazing little trick, eh?

Yeah, CWJ is the best trick ever. I did know about releasing the forward button for a frame already, I think my smv did that. I just couldn't get Samus to jump no matter what frame I pressed jump button. Maybe I just was too far from that ledge. That was a very nice strategy. o_O Your creativity really has no limits.

Tub, here's a quote of the description of that video: "This gameplay uses savestates, which are everything when playing this hack. However, this is not a TAS ( http://tasvideos.org/FAQ.html )." I'm familiar with that run though, I'm doing as CPadolf said; same route with some missile tanks (possibly etanks) skipped, and much faster and smoother. CPadolf, in which rooms should I be using the underwater walljump? Also I don't know how to do it, but that's not something I need to know at the moment, as I haven't yet fought even Bomb Torizo. As for my progress, I'm already in the vertical pirate shaft with missiles and morph ball. I think I'm doing pretty well, figured some ways to collect the items quick, not hitting any spikes. There's only 3 rooms left before Torizo fight though, and I've never fought a boss with tool-assistance. Would you guys give me some tips regarding this fight? :)

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/546603781/Tonski%20-%20Super%20Metroid%20Impossible%20TAS.smv Ceres done. :) I kinda had to do that steam boost in the second last room on my own, since other steams blocked my way. I guess I figured it on my own. EDIT: Sorry CPadolf didn't see your post. :/ No I'm not at Torizo yet, but I'm experimenting a lot of stuff about this hack while I'm not TASing it. I can't even get stuck on the door, and I think you can't skip torizo in this hack. Though I'm not saying it's impossible, I just think with the tricks we know now at least I can't do it.

I watched it too, very nice hero. Although with me it desynced already in the outer area after the WS top room. I thought of a timesaver at the WS lake, but couldn't get it to work although Samus is in the right position. What's wrong? http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1122539378/WS_CWJ.smv

I don't know will it help my TAS or anyones at all but here's a question: Is underwater CWJ possible? What about in lava? (with/without gravity?) EDIT: Moozooh, smart thinking! That'll probably be pretty helpful, thanks. EDIT2: I've been trying to skip Bomb Torizo desperately on Super Metroid Impossible, and I think it really is impossible. I tried damage boost from floor and the ceiling many ways and couldn't do it.

Hmm... I haven't played this hack in a long time, but I think you can't get early space jump after Kraid? The door stays grey until you kill beetoms, am I correct? Or do you mean getting it after the Plasma Beam so that I'd have it in LN?

Talk about quick answer! 50 seconds after my post. :-D You will see it when it's done. The weather is going cold and shitty (excuse the language) around here so I have more motivation and time to TAS. Plus I think this is much more interesting to do than SM, since I get to do decisions of my own, and it's not just duplicating old run. :)

I have started a tool-assisted speedrun of this hack. It's using Lance Uppercut's route (from M2K2), I'm currently up until Ridley at Ceres. I'm not going to submit this or anything, I'm just doing a TAS for fun and entertainment, for seeing the lowest times in this hack and to show you guys too. :) From you I'd like to have ANY ideas you have when doing a TAS of this game. Every single idea and thought I'd take and consider.

A sure yes vote! This is the TAS I've been waiting for the most, and it didn't disappoint me not one second. Very good job CPadolf, congrats. Of course, few CWJ's would've made the run cooler. ;)
