It's okay, though I prefer non-scanlines more.

What is the purpose of jumping through the door when entering the Speed Booster passage? It doesn't look like you get through the door any earlier, and surely landing slows you down? Is it lag reduction somehow?

the door transition loads faster if the door is centered on the screen for realtime focused runs.

Yeah, like Garrison said, it's to get the screen in a good position for the transition. Ingame time is lost to that in tons of rooms throughout the WIP, but that is one of the more obvious cases. Another is the jump before entering minikraid's room.

woooow. That TAS is looking insane! I have no idea how that stored shinespark works in TWRITG, but it looks crazy cool.

Hey Taco, if you don't mind me asking how is the TAS coming along?

That's a very cool technique BTW.

That's really interesting, Sniq!!! I particularly liked the one you used to get the Super Missile in Maridia mainstreet area.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but, its an idea I just thought of that might work to trigger a Flash Suit not sure if you guys tested it yet. If you morph then unmorph through an Enemy Pod like the ones in Norfair and then take damage from the enemy will it trigger a Flash Suit like the Slope Spark?

Any frozen enemy or object that you can get inside its hitbox, works as a "slope" to get a flash suit, but you need another enemy to knock Samus back.

I know you can get glitched inside of the pod where the spore spawn super missiles are in pink brinstar by morph un-morphing actually I think you can turn into it to get glitched in from what I remember. So the enemy is essentially provided for the knock back. Its interesting but, not sure if it would be useful depending on location.

Damn! This is one of those circunstances where I love to be proven wrong! If it works with any beam, then it would be really helpful in a certain place! Really nice to see you back, Taco!!! Edit: Yup, it works with Wave, but it seems it will not help in the place I wanted.

Only 5 days into 2016 and I found yet another way to torture the game very badly. With grapple beam, it's possible to gain fall speed infinitely and fall through everything: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/457614715/maridia%20mountain%20super%20sink.smv http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/273641366/ocean%20grapple%20super%20sink.smv http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/771348096/brinstar%20gate%20etank%20super%20sink.smv Stability of the trick is still under my research. edit: this is possible now http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1677283610/entering%20lower%20norfair%20without%20powerbombs%20or%20x-ray.smv

Has it even been confirmed you can beat the game like this? I can imagine some of the Speed Booster segments are impossible with the game turned on its side.

If you look at the forum thread, there was a race of this hack done -- with the item randomizer turned on, even. The hack is more than just a 90° rotation; the terrain has been changed at points (including the removal of all shoot-to-open gates) and underwater physics were adjusted.

Sorry if this information is easily available, but how do elevators even work in that hack? You couldn't even stand on the platform.

Based on watching some of a playthrough on Twitch, the platforms have been rotated so you can use them and they take you sideways.

Today, the 13.01.2016, Sniq, Tewtal and me broke the 14% item-limit for TAS, for NTSC inbounds without major glitches. The following two maneuvers make 13%Speedbooster a reality, which obsoletes both 14% (low%) branches, low%Speed and low%Ice, that are published at TASVideos (as soon as a proper 13% TAS exists): Suitless Slopespark (using BlueSuit from the only known source available, Varia, to cancel invulnerability frames, in order to get a second set of invulnerability frames to have enough time to start the spark in the same frame as when the knockback frames run out): http://puu.sh/mtmVI/014ba0fbca.mp4 Corresponding Snes9x rerecording 1.51 v.7 movie: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1980525759/Super%20Metroid%2013%25%20speedbooster.smv Colosseum shinespark charge (for a FlashSuit via spike-spark) in 13%Speedbooster conditions (using temporary BlueSuit movement to keep the Boost Counter, a reserve-bombjump, a bounce-ball to continue running upon the first spike-contact, knockback-frames provided by the spikes to unmorph and increase the Boost Counter, Moonwalk, and the spike-spark method): http://puu.sh/mu5GH/b01646d59f.mp4 Corresponding bk2 file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/98929157894836224/136810285657751552/13_spikespark.bk2

collect, analyse, categorise. "Mathematics - When tool-assisted skills are just not enough" ;) Don't want to be taking up so much space adding to posts, but might be worth mentioning and letting others know for what games 1) already some TAS work has been done (ordered in decreasing amount, relative to a game completion) by me and 2) I am (in decreasing order) planning/considering to TAS them. Those would majorly be SNES games (if not, it will be indicated in the list) I'm focusing on. 1) Spanky's Quest; On the Ball/Cameltry; Musya; Super R-Type; Plok; Sutte Hakkun; The Wizard of Oz; Battletoads Doubledragon; Super Ghouls'n Ghosts; Firepower 2000; Brain Lord; Warios Woods; Super Turrican; The Humans. 2) Secret Command (SEGA); Star Force (NES); Hyperzone; Aladdin; R-Type 3; Power Blade 2 (NES); Super Turrican 2; First Samurai.
