Been watching these recently, and every time a Power Bomb goes off, my brain keeps saying "With how powerful they're supposed to be in-universe, why aren't the maps getting seismic pings every time someone detonates one?" Don't know how that would change the dynamics of the gamemode if X and Samus could see pings marking the general location of where a Power Bomb has recently gone off, but it seems like it would be interesting conceptually. Maybe with an optional feature of "only show pings from the opposite team" or perhaps "pings are teamcolored, you see all of them".

[@bokyubi]

it'd be really hard to balance, especially with fusion players not always being able to find bombs off the start, meaning that they'd use one as a replacement to bombs, which can lead them to using a ton in a single area

[@NLM-ec5rv]

Hmm, it seems like each player has their own enemies and blocks to break through in game and isn’t shared. Sooo, is it possible to code unbreakable blocks so that SA-X players are kept from using the fast travel system? Ya know, it’d be a true or false flag set depending on the mode the player chooses. I think that’d be fair especially if their are 10 SA-X in game lol. Also, for anti x rooms I was thinking as soon as an sa-x player enters they’d take damage very much like how samus would take damage in heated and cooled rooms without varia or the weapon systems are disabled.

[@DruidVorse]

It's a pain to code in Gamemaker and it would require a ton of work to implement that, if it's possible in the first place. I like the suggestion tho, we are still looking for ways to balance this mode.

[@Klokinator]

@@DruidVorse I'll post the same suggestion I dropped on Xander's videos. 1. Hunters should know the exact position of all Samuses at any time... UNLESS they are within let's say 5-10 room lengths of Samus. Then, they only know she's nearby, but not her exact position. 2. Samus has no idea where the hunters are UNLESS they are within 5-10 rooms of her, in which case her map will get a ping and she'll see them approaching. This dynamic allows the hunters to always pinpoint Samus's general location, while Samus can find ways to hide and avoid them when they get close, but otherwise has no idea where they are when they're a long way away. I think this change would greatly benefit the cat and mouse dynamic of the game. Right now, there's an awful lot of metroid-camping since the hunters can't easily track Samus down, and I think that's to the detriment of this game-mode.

[@kyokonull]

@@DruidVorse seems doable tbh. just put an if (global.saxmode && !global.sax){instance_destroy();} in a solid and you're probably set lol

[@kennyholmes5196]

Here's an idea for a mode: All players start out with nothing but the Morph Ball and one tank of Missiles, and must accomplish their goals by getting their necessary upgrades. the Fusion player(s) (hereafter referred to as SA-M) must exterminate all X-bosses and any SA-X they encounter along the way, while the SA-X must wipe out all the Metroids and any SA-M they encounter along the way. First team back to the ship after accomplishing their goal wins. SA-X start off in the cave that Samus gets infected in. SA-M start off at the ship. SA-M can tell when Metroids die, and get their upgrades by absorbing Core X and picking up the items guarded or dropped by bosses. SA-X can tell when Core X get absorbed, and get their upgrades by infecting bosses and enemies. Neither side can tell when a player from the other side picks up a Minor Upgrade (expansions after the first one). Both sides can sync upgrades with their teammates if they make contact with each other for a second or longer. If a player from either side gets absorbed or defeated, they can't respawn. If a SA-X gets absorbed by a SA-M after having been turned into its' Core X phase, then the SA-M gets all of the upgrades that the SA-X in question had unlocked by that point. Likewise, if a SA-M is defeated by a SA-X, they drop a Power Sphere containing all of the upgrades that they collected by that point, which the SA-X can infect and take for themselves. SA-X are heavily damaged by Evolved Metroids that are not SA-M or Larvae, with the damage starting at one-shotting with the Queen's and Omega's attacks, then going to two-shotting with the Zetas, Four with the Gammas, and Eight with the Alphas. If a SA-X intersects with a Metroid's head zone or sprite while in their Core X state, they are absorbed as if they had made contact with a SA-M. SA-M, meanwhile, are ignored by Metroids. SA-X can infect non-Metroid bosses by actively going to their Core X form, and then overlapping the boss in question for five seconds, which instantly kills the boss and gives them the upgrade, though they may choose to fight it normally if they deem necessary. If a SA-M gets into a fight with a non-metroid boss, then they must fight it as normal. When a boss is defeated, it drops an item if it is holding one for all players that come there afterwards that don't already have said upgrade.

[@DruidVorse]

An idea I had was like an infected type mode, if a player gets killed, he goes to the opposite team. Or something like Freezetag fron Quake Live, you freeze others when they die and their teammates have to thaw them.

[@kennyholmes5196]

@@DruidVorse The "infected" mode could actually be interesting and easily doable with nothing but SA-X players. All but one player start out as "untagged" and start in random locations on the map, while the lone "tagger" player starts out in the X Cave. If the tagger kills one of the untagged players by turning them into a Core X, then on their resolidification, they become a tagger themself. Untagged players win by beating the game, taggers win by turning everyone else into taggers, with the optional goal of beating the game if they so choose.

[@raymondlee5754]

This looks like so much fun!

[@jonw8764]

34:36 omfg what??? I need to watch the whole speed run of this game.

[@freybear8457]

Mod that makes you a Metroid when? (You start as a larva, and the more bosses you beat, the more you develop and you will still take damadge as a larva to balance stuff)

[@darkbeetlebot]

Lore-accurate samus be like:

[@jacobmosovich]

Video shouldve been titled "Metroid speedrunner sets new world record during PvP match, SAVAGE IN 4K!" Who cares if it wasnt a record it was in my book XD nobody in a pvp match can beat this

[@jollykirby2138]

1:26:00 wait, did he change his suit to avoid the boss trigger? why did he do this?

[@alex7770_]

Seed pvp

[@DruidVorse]

Hmm maybe a SA-X got trapped and fought Serris or maybe the boss could be ignored in that version.

[@Xnightwolfx]

What was that hacky door warp shit they did around 18:20?

[@DruidVorse]

That's a walljump zip, Samus warps because I opened the door while walljumping at the same time so the game just sticks me to the next collision it can find.

[@FilterExel]

That Torizo fight was wild.

[@Jackrost01]

Fast travel portal need some cooldown(for all players or personaly for each one), so you can't just run and cheese with it

[@harrisonlichtenberg3162]

This is wild

[@KeizerZX]

why does the Sa-x's have omega metroids for their heads? correction why does the speedrunner have an omega metroid head

[@DruidVorse]

Because it's an easter egg from the developer, I asked him if he could add the Omega head for me. To get that head, you have to put OmegaDruid as the name in the multitroid settings.

[@TheFlyingslug]

so can someone explain to me why the SA-X, whose greatest evolutionary foe is the Metroid, is trying to stop Samus from eradicating the Metroids

[@DruidVorse]

The Fusion players have to survive and complete the game at the same time so that's why the SA-X hunt them. If the SA-X kill the metroids, they give more advantage to the other team.

[@Trebolt]

This is a very fun watch but I'm a bit confused on how the audio cue/stinger is supposed to work. Is it just when they get a certain distance away from you or enter your line of sight? I tried to keep an eye on the radar when it played but couldn't make out anything definitive.

[@DruidVorse]

It goes by distance, the radar checks for map tiles I think.

[@Badsy_the_Edgecat]

man, am2r has some wild movement tech

[@DruidVorse]

and there's even more stuff that's not showcased here but they are specific to certain situations/rooms

[@somacruz8272]

Interesting game mode

[@luis-sophus-8227]

28:00 Now that is peak action

[@SoulCrusherEx]

GG`s you almost killed 2 hunters. do they have 1 life aswell ?

[@DruidVorse]

They keep respawning but I can get ice beam once I absorb the Core-X

[@trollman_2345]

And zero fucks were given that day.

[@jchud13]

If the point is to beat the game why do you skip some metroids, for example a little before 13:20 you see a metroid and then speedboost away, wouldnt it save time to just kill it now insteas of having to go back?

[@DruidVorse]

I try to get items first since killing metroids gives the signal to the SA-X

[@dazzlemasseur]

I've never rooted for a speedrunner so much.

[@ultimatex8172]

I want the remix for the SA-X chase so bad.

[@DruidVorse]

Here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5emoZWYn5tgnLc

[@GarryDumblowski]

....Is the music in the Tower being different a part of the mod?

[@DruidVorse]

nope, you can customize the soundtrack to your liking by changing the ogg files in the folder of the game, just use the same name in order for the game to recognize them.

[@GarryDumblowski]

@@DruidVorse Okay, just checking. I remember doing that once because I wanted to see if Quadraxis fit as a unique boss battle theme for the Tester, haha.
