This movie is faster than the old one, by maybe about 80 seconds (inside of the game-time, not 'Length').
'Movie length' is not short, because I opened the 'equipment menu' more than in the old version.
Notes
This is my 5th movie of Super Metroid of 'Any% timeattack' (except for the '14%' version).
I tried to throw away preconceptions.
I tested many cases, many patterns, again and again...
And now, I think "clear time 00:26" is impossibility...
Thanks for all people who advised me something!
Lastly, I really hope that you can enjoy this movie!
If you have a question, please write in easy English.(^_^;)
Bisqwit: I edited this text a little for readability.
So, who votes "yes" for replacing the current Super Metroid movie with the one where murder-beam is not used (linked in some previous post in this thread)?

Well...now I know what the hell that whole sequence was actually about (as far as the story concerning the big metroid saving Ripley). In one of your previous versions I was really confused about what was happening and why you had to take so much damage from mother brain. Only until I found out the glitch here did I know what you were doing. But do not be discouraged. I understand why you had to use it :)
I too prefer the version without the Murder Beam.
Teri can avoid entering menu again after the last energy recharge (Saves entering 3 times, only 1 time needed).
Ok, I try to explain , "why I declined your suggestion".
For example,,,In this movie, I removed "HiJumpBoots" ,2times.
If I take precedence "entertainment", I don't need to remove "HiJumpboots",2times.
(And perhaps, I don't need to remove "Ice-Beam".)
If I re-record from "the last recharge-room", this movie will be "half done".
Can you understand my meaning?(^_^;)
And please don't misunderstanding, I'm a ordinary human.
Do you think, which needs more enerygy?
A:You must go shopping, but you can walk. (slower-work)
B:You must go shopping, and you must dash! (early-work)
"To make a movie in early-time" is not easy work.
It is the reverse. It is very hard work.
Of cource, I want to make "Realy Perfect Movie", but I can't,sorry.
I think that my work was too fast for me.
Now I have a trauma to make SuperMetroid-movie.
I don't want to stop, but I must stop to make SuperMetroid-movie,at least now.
I know my own condition than anyone,sorry.(^_^;)
If Teri made it properly I would vote yes no doubt :)
Why, didn't he do it properly?
When I made a extra-smv-file(not using murder-beam file),
I thought that "this is a extra file".
So, I was idle(lazy),sorry.(^_^;)
"Re-record just before final-boss" is easier than "Re-record just beore last recharge-room".
If I take precedence "entertainment", I don't need to remove "HiJumpboots",2times.
It's not about "speed should take precedence at all costs, regardless of the means" or "entertainment should take precedence at all costs, even if it means making a slower movie". You should not think so radically.
The main goal of these movies is, of course, completing the game as fast as possible. Usually this means that the resulting movie is very entertaining.
However, this is not an all-or-nothing rule. There are certain situations where small compromises can and should be made to make the movie more entertaining even if it means that it will be one second slower. Sometimes you should find a compromise.
In many games where the sole fact that you complete it as fast as possible produces all by itself a very entertaining movie. And in fact, supermetroid is for the most part such game. However, I would say the final boss battle is an exception: Using the murder beam glitch for getting a 1 second faster run literally spoils the run, which had been quite excellent so far: It makes it extremely confusing and plain ugly.
In a 40+ mins movie 1 second is nothing. If compromising 1 second makes the end battle 100 times more entertaining, I would definitely say that you should go for the regular battle.
In no way this means you should start compromising anywhere else. As I said, it's not a question of "only entertainment" or "only speed". However, in this specific single situation sacrificing 1 second for a battle which is 100 times more entertaining is definitely worth the price.

I understood this part,perfectly.
May I ask you other question...?
Do you know Mr.Morimoto?
His record of SMB3 has benn already beaten by Mr.Genisto.
Do you think why?The answer is easy. Mr.Morimoto's record is slower than Mr.Genisto's record.(of cource, and more entertainment;).Please don't forget, you(or anyone) can't guarantee anything,about my movie.
But thank you for your advises.

I understood. I said ," I can't judge". I am not 'you'. :P

I understood.
But I wonder why you can believe so. >Extremely confusing~
When I submited this movie, nobody asked me about "murder-beam".
And most people voted 'YES'.
Who was "extremely confusing and plain ugly"...?
I know about "you" and "Bisqwit". but I knew it ,after my movie was published.
>In a 40+ mins movie 1 second is nothing.
In my movie, 1 second is like a everything,I think.(^_^;)

Ok, I'll try so.
However, in this specific single situation sacrificing 1 second for a battle which is 100 times more entertaining is definitely worth the price.
Also remember we like to judge submissions by input length (length of movie file), not by the internal time counters in the game. (This is not always black and white :P )

I don't think Genisto's version of the movie is less entertaining than Morimoto's. In my opinion Genisto achieved the same level of entertainment but also succeeded in making the run faster. It's not like he sacrificed entertainment for speed.

If you use the murder beam glitch in the final boss it's very difficult to understand what is going on, and the whole battle is very confusing. Someone who hasn't seen the normal battle has no way of knowing what is happening. Also, the graphics engine of SNES bugs when the glitch is used, making it even more confusing and ugly.
When I submited this movie, nobody asked me about "murder-beam". And most people voted 'YES'.
I assumed, and I'm sure most of the other people also assumed that the murder-beam glitch saves so much time that it's simply the only option. Thus it's natural that nobody questioned it. However, given that it doesn't really save any time at all and it's so ugly, I have completely changed my opinion on it (and I suppose some others have too).
I'm not saying it should have not been published. I'm saying that I would so much prefer if the glitch was not used.
From the minimal amount of "votes" on this subject and in general the amount of discussion I assume we will not see the run without using the glitch... *sigh* A pitty. It would be so much better without it (and faster too).
