[@ashheilborn]

And that's why Ridley is still alive.

[@Automat1cJack]

This observation deserves more respect.

[@kevinslater4126]

Her mission didn't include Ridley.

[@TheBfutgreg]

Ridley is just a fan of metal I guess, he didn't need it but who am I to judge

[@_sparrowhawk]

LOL AMEN

[@MetZelRio]

Canon.

[@LinkAranGalacticHero]

Speechless... he completed a game that is hard as nails in 11 minutes with basically no items. Applause!

[@furyousd5690]

Metroid 1 on the NES isn't that hard if u know how to avoid al of the enemies/farm energy and missiles at every oppertunity

[@furyousd5690]

@@TheTongo11 i just started mine, and i have to say it really isn't that hard one u get the hang of it, then again i have yet to fight kraid or Ridley so who knows XD. the difficulty imo comes from not having a map and not knowing here all the secrets are, i would of never known about that e tank in kraids room had i not seen it in this video.

[@oscardz2099]

no items full glitches

[@wavedash-]

Props to the runner and couch guys for being relatively animated despite the early morning time slot.

[@conor881]

Metroidmcfly: kill the mini-bosses, get 75 missles... Kraid: Am I a joke to you?

[@jruler93]

Basically, yeah.

[@cybercifrado]

Nope, you're just a missle piñata.

[@bizichyld]

I’ve been practicing the mother brain room just for fun and it was fairly difficult to consistently survive even with the varia suit, 3 E tanks, and 100 missiles. And when I do, it’s an unchoreographed mess. The fact that he can almost flawlessly execute those unroll jumps and avoid almost all damage with no missiles to spare, on the spot, with a crowd watching is fucking amazing to me. I used to speed run pre-2004 but these kids now are other worldly. Tip of the hat to you, Mcfly.

[@realtyranny3310]

He's using a mid air double jump trick, turbo missal fire, and other little cheats.

[@Deaganus]

I've had trips to 7-11 that took longer than this.

[@darkphoenix2]

The rhythm of those missile shots in the final room is satisfying as hell

[@artificialavocado9652]

Back when this game came out for a long time it was considered “unbeatable” by many.

[@stephenouma]

Castlevania 2

[@amso7169]

@@ChromeCobra Doesn’t sound that farfetched to me. Kids didn’t know better, and on top of that the internet wasn’t in most households yet, so information about how to beat the game wasn’t available without a subscription to Nintendo Power and unless you happened to know someone who beat the game you’d have no idea if it truly ends or not.

[@marcoperches3078]

What? No it wasnt. You made that up.

[@angryretailbanker5103]

I never played this as a kid, but I bought an NES Classic a few years ago and I decided to check out Metroid. This was the very first one I ever played. On an original NES, I would NEVER have beaten it. With save states on the NES Classic, though, I was able to pull it off. I still had to rely on an online map, look up how to open the red doors (again, my very first Metroid game), and died SO many times. It took me a couple weeks to get through it. And this guy beat the game in 11 minutes.

[@wolfegeist7808]

@@stephenouma castlevenia 2 is the best one in the series imo

[@bluedragon219123]

This game is hard and Mother Brain's room is a nightmare. Took me forever to beat the game with save states, I don't think it's unfair for password based games. Good Job! :)

[@soursugar4867]

I personally don’t think it’s unfair if you save state at the start of each area (aka where it puts you after giving you the password)

[@thecrimsonaxe6037]

Making a save state on the game over screen can hardly be considered cheating by anyone; the only thing you're skipping is punching in a passcode.

[@blinkstock182]

Congratulations on the run, sorry I couldn't make it for the live, but making good on my promise McFly, great job on SK!

[@jonq8714]

The 8 year old me would watch this in utter disbelief.

[@nievasdario]

Holy fucking shit! An 11 min Metroid run? Fantastic!

[@disfibulator]

absolute legend

[@NelsonInst]

Does anyone know what would happen/where would you end up, if you did the door glitch/screen wrap in the door in the vertical escape shaft? (11:57) Would it work? Would it take you back into Brinstar? Lock the game? Has anyone tried it?

[@jage6344]

There are no doors there. You need to beat mother brain beat the game, also

[@KeithPhillips]

Yeah, you can't screenwrap there, but the funny thing is that Mother Brain's room is only about 3 screens or so directly above the morph ball area in terms of the game's map layout.

[@marcdimartino9118]

Tardo más en ir a comprar un paste aquí a la vuelta de mi casa, que lo que tarda este tipo en terminar Metroid. Impresionante.

[@JamesBrown-oz5bl]

Madness, amazing run

[@fretlord4201]

Oh, the memories! I put this game on layaway and bought this game with allowance money. Every moment of this game was something I savored. The first time I killed Mother Brain I was so excited that I didn't see the count down timer begin. Then I was so shaky trying to jump up on those little platforms that I fell, and fell, and fell...hahah...

[@BanzaiChuck]

Wow, that was intense! Awesome run!

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

[@raymondrufa971]

Welcome done good sir! 😁

[@wamyc]

Insane

[@malkneil]

Anyone know if there's a way to get the initial rinka pattern consistent when entering the mother brain room in order to try and pull off the quick pacing through the Zebetites that McFly does in this vid? Seems when I'm running it the 3 rinkas spawn in different places when I first enter that room.

[@ozrithclay6921]

[@sparrowthesissy2186]

[@beorgedush7016]

incredible

[@malkneil]

Was the pause before entering the Mother Brain chamber intentional or just a pause before the storm? Just wondering if there's an audio queue in the music that sets up the cannons/rinkas/etc?

[@SI0AX]

I think he sacrificed a few seconds because he knew he was at record breaking pace and needed to calm down a bit.

[@subtlewookiee]

He's about to do something incredibly difficult to do with a huge live audience and probably 100k people watching on Twitch. Since this isn't pb attempts or anything he was likely just taking a moment to collect himself.

[@AustinIsSoTheMan]

[@afonnes1980]

I just finished my own speed run of about 4 hours.

[@MrLandale]

10:55 Why does he stop? It's a speedrun...

[@subtlewookiee]

He's not doing PB attempts, it's a marathon exhibition of a game. His best time was like two minutes better than this time. He was about to do something incredibly hard with a huge audience watching, with no backups available. He was likely just collecting himself for a moment.

[@realtyranny3310]

Yeah, I've tried jumping in mid air like that. It doesn't work for me. He must be really really really skilled.......

[@stides40]

wow that was god tier. Almost like a TAS

[@TheDainerss]

Why does this run not appear on any record tracking sites? The 11:26.4 time is well within the top 10 times for an any% run.

[@subtlewookiee]

He removed all his times, sadly. You can still see where he would stack up on the boards as Anonymous, though.

[@riahlexington]

[@andersnilsson1040]

[@yuufeternal5837]

What did he mean by the joke "out of time"?

[@fuse4967]

Only thing I can think of would be how there's usually a countdown escape in the games (at least the ones I have played).

[@soursugar4867]

Most likely meant the time bomb at the end of most games. Basically, after you defeat mother brain in each game, a time bomb is set and you have to escape before the planet blows up

[@clairemadeinheaven]

wait he used a glitch?
