WOW! What the hell did just happen? Awesome break of this game. Extreamly impressive. Thanks for the entertainment. An easy YES-vote.

I swear, you guys just keep switching ROMs for every run here. Sure hope someone Youtubes this one.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YvQtItgznQM http://youtube.com/watch?v=ykcVEYHj9EE Crappy quality but that's to expect from youtube. I cut out the ceres part to fit it in two parts, but there is not much to see there anyway.

It worked just fine with the same ROM I encoded the previous movie with.

This movie has been published. The posts before this message apply to the submission, and posts after this message apply to the published movie. ---- [1139] SNES Super Metroid "X-Ray glitch" by Cpadolf & hero_of_the_day in 22:01.18

Let me be first to say congrats on being published

Note: This movie did not YET obsolete any movie. Discussion should be carried out on whether it SHOULD obsolete some movie(s). I will later change the movies' status as needed.

Weird, it looks like varia suite is equipped on the screenshot. Anyway, thanks for the publication :) EDIT: Question, will this run be linked to my movie statistics or does this not work because of multiple authors? EDIT2: Now it doesn't look like varia anymore...

what is this i don't even That was amazing. Fantastic ammo/energy management, and entertaining to boot. Yes vote for sure. EDIT: Agree with Warp. This should be a "uses warps" movie, and it shouldn't obsolete any of the others.

It will be. Fixed. I forgot to do the thing I always chastise other publishers for forgetting to do.

Agree with Warp. This should be a "uses warps" movie, and it shouldn't obsolete any of the others.

But it doesn't really use warps, better call it glitched any% run, as in allowing even the most severe glitches to save time. I think there are other games too that have a glitched and a non glitched run, but the non glitched run does use glitches, just not gamebreaking ones.

Ok.

I think there are other games too that have a glitched and a non glitched run, but the non glitched run does use glitches, not just gamebreaking ones.

Hmm, that sounds like a good idea for a category: "Uses game-breaking glitches." This could be applied to many existing runs. (But then, it again falls down to the question of how we define "game-breaking" glitch...)

I'm still in favor of obsoleting the low 14% movie. Not only does no one care about it (as evidenced by the fact that it hasn't been updated since the end of 2004), but it really doesn't show anything that a combination of the other 3 runs don't already have (or will have when they get updated). Also, having a low %, low glitched %, real time, in game time, and 100% run is just becoming a little ridiculous. So: 4 categories is enough, this is an absolute low%, and no one has cared enough about the other low% to update it. I'm sure others will disagree, however.

Took the words right out of my mouth. That's what I'd suggest as well - specifically, I think it would be great to have these categories, basically: 1a) Played using superhuman reflexes etc., but could conceivably have been played by an extremely fast/skilled (/lucky?) player without tool assistance, too. Does not use game-breaking glitches, even if these would be possible to pull of for the aforementioned hypothetical player. 1b) As above, but no restriction on game-breaking glitches. 2) Could not conceivably have been played by anyone without tool assistance; no restriction on game-breaking glitches. Obviously, these categories are relatively arbitrary as well as not particularly well-defined, but I'd like to offer them up for discussion, anyway. The reason is that I've often felt that even with runs that aren't totally glitched, it's obvious that the player has perfect knowledge and perfect luck and thus can't be real, and it does take the fun out of it, to an extent. Suspension of disbelief is a powerful thing, and watching a movie that appears as if it was played by someone with superhuman reflexes etc., as opposed to someone using rerecording, savestates, memory watches, bots etc. simply is more fun (for me). Or, maybe more precisely, it's a different kind of fun. It's very interesting to see how much time can be squeezed out of the various Mega Man games, for example, but the earlier runs were also more enjoyable on a different level even though the later ones are faster. Given that there's already more than one category for certain games such as Zelda 2, I assume others feel the same, and the above is an initial attempt to come up with something useful. I'm not sure about 1b), but I think that if a game-breaking glitch is so (comparatively) easy to pull off that it'd fall into category 1, it'd still be nice to have a "full" movie that actually shows the game the way it was intended to be played (well, more or less).

I guess my vote is that it obsolete the low% run (and only the low%).

Not an intentional jab at you, moozooh (I know you were working on it for a while). I'm just saying that with the very large community of SM TASers, if it was really a big deal, it would have been updated in the past 3 years. Since there have been at least 8 or 9 improvements to the other categories in that time, including a new category creation, the 14% run seems like the red-headed stepchild of the Super Metroid family.

By the way, what do 6 items mean in terms of percentage? (Just curious to know how it compares to "14%", and the "10%" in that supermetroid forum where the glitch was first published.)

The game has 100 items so it's 6% (also it says so after the credits).

Wouldnt the best screenshot be when Samus is in the elevator after performing the x-ray glitch? Edit:

So: 4 categories is enough, this is an absolute low%, and no one has cared enough about the other low% to update it.

I agree with you.

What precisely did you "fix"?

I thought I had changed it from "No predefined saves" to "N/A", however after refreshing my browser, it didn't show the change. Now it does, however. So if I somehow tried and failed, my apologies for taking credit.
