O rly?
Just post it to those who want to find out where it is and are too damn tired of searching. You did tell everyone how to get the tube missiles too, X-Ray is just another item. I'm not playing this hack anymore but am very interested in where the X-Ray is. As Cpadolf said, those willing to still search for that item themselves just ignore the .smv which you hopefully will post.
Congratulations! :)

Your creativity has no limits Hero, you always find new timesavers. I really think that 36 min 100% run might be possible.
I'm also looking forward to CPadolf's TAS, how's it going man?

How many blocks of distance do you need for 7px/frame speed? Is it like the fastest speed you can get in this game?
I could make the bridge of mine longer with 1 more bug. :) Though even playing with 2 of them was total hell in the beginning when trying to get them in good positions.

Yeah what the fuck?? I just got the super missile to go through the green gate and open the blue door on the other side. O_O Has this happened to you guys before? I was just messing around with 24% speed after my bug-greengate.smv and somehow did it. Does it make any difference that it's possible?

Heh, I made a bridge for you guys. Was it ever annoying. I couldn't open the green gate itself though. One thing that annoys me the most is that I couldn't get the other bug to 875 Y position like I got the first one. The other thing pissing me off is that gate. :( I know this way wouldn't be any use in a speedrun but I'd wanna see if anyone is able to get the gate opened this way when you get more speed. I'm sure going to try it myself too.

I came up with couple of possible timesavers using the trick I love the most in Super Metroid. :) There's a big chance though that Hero has already found/used these or they don't save much time. These movies aren't all that optimized but they at least show what the tricks are.

What do you think?
EDIT:
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I compared the first timesaver to Hero's any%, and I think his run did that room in 134 ingame frames, where that smv of mine did it in 128?

I just hope no one's going to come up with something as stupid as "That video could've been manipulated, show us smv". I can wait for Saturn's full run, nice video though. :) I did believe it's possible, but it's very good Hero got 49"07' on his own without any help. Serious TASing skills.
I think it was well said that you aim for the fastest escape timer only for art and showing off what the highest time could be. TASing is like art in it's own way, this is at least my opinion.
Evilchen:
What do you mean, 49"16' is possible?

Tell me about it! Hero is now officially making the run that makes my spirit lift up to the heaven, CWJ is the best trick in this game in my opinion. :) This mostly puts hero's run in the top of my waiting list, I can't wait!
Though Saturn's RBO comes right second. Come to think about it, if every minute that's used in arguing about stuff that don't matter all that much (like Saturn saying some stuff people don't believe) would be used in TASing, we'd have almost all the runs done in no time. And Saturn would most likely have his run already done thus would prove everyone his new timesavers.

Ceres finally done on my TAS. I'm not aiming to tie frames with JXQ with my current TASing skills, and I'm not going to submit this TAS anyway when it's published. I think I might do that jump in the second last room again, that looks like very unoptimized. :| I'd like to get some comments, good or bad.
CPadolf:
Just get X-Ray on the way to Tourian and skip MB. ;)

I don't mean to jump into this fight, but is it 110% sure that 49"15' can't be beaten? I mean by delaying frames in the opening in more affective places or stuff like that.
We had a little talk with CPadolf some time ago and that inspired me back to TASing. :) Though progressing very slowly I've started to tie in frames in some rooms with JXQ and I'm now escaping Ceres.

Did I ever love that smv! The CWJ is probably my favorite trick in this game, it saves time in most cases and looks cool.
I'm really looking forward to this new stuff to be done in a real TAS, also good luck to that gate you're trying to open. Skipping mother brain and blowing Zebes up is possible, also going to Tourian using the elevator while being in morph ball is possible. I'm sure this also is. :)

Heh CPadolf, Phantoon still causing you trouble? :P Just work at it I'm sure that with your TAS skills you'll get it done with honor. I'm waiting for your run a lot!
Talking about that I was bored and checked some random stuff on the forum, moozooh you're waiting for my PAL SS any% run? Haha I never knew I got on that list of yours, I'm honored :)The run is on a break now because of that broken controller, but I bet that I'll get it done this year. I'm still practicing though, badly need to break the 38 min limit first. (at least)

I didn't know that there needs to be 2 frames at some points, maybe that's the reason why CPadolf is having problems? Holding 1 frame forward and then releasing for one frame doesn't shift the missile forward enough and that's why Phantoon disappears? Has to press forward for 2 frames at some points?

I'm actually pretty happy to hear this. :) This makes sub 40 minutes real-time run possible, increases the level of this run and I like 1.43v more.
Of course it's not nice to hear that all that work went down the drain. :( You were very far with the run, I hope this doesn't ruin your motivation completely.

It's in Brinstar, LN or Maridia?
I bet it's in Kagoball room, the room itself is so big and complex and it has many places where the X-Ray could be. Like if you freeze some of those sidehoppers and glitch through the ceiling and get the X-Ray. ^^
Or not.

You said yourself you got the time on August 2006 already, I remember seeing posts telling about it somewhere and hearing that this time had been done. :)
