Metroid Fusion MAX Randomizer

[@drunkenskunkproductionsdsp8094]

I like how the base wave beam has the same sprite as the -spazer- wide beam.

[@fettel1988]

"Can you run into the Omega at 1hp and die?" ...In fact, YES. That's how I died to it the first time I played the game. I MISSED the SAX "soul" and leapt into Omega.

[@korhol2065]

You really took body slam to a new meant

[@maxthompson7107]

I would think so. Is there anything that can’t kill Samus at 1 HP?

[@VinceMouse]

Missiles, despite being obscenely common, are actually always good to get, as long as you're not going out of your way too far. Each one is an extra 5 shots of your revolver, in a game where your main weapon can feel like a slingshot.

[@alternatecheems8145]

Beam is crazy op in fusion lmao, especially charge beam, so idk what you're talking about.

[@theimperfectgod7140]

The beam IS very strong but there are not many enemies nor bosses that are vulnerable to it.

[@korhol2065]

⁠@@theimperfectgod7140you know that charge shots exist right?

[@SoldierOfFate]

I think the OP is referring to the randomizer, where you likely won't get the charge beam early on. In the vanilla game, the base beam/charge beam is absolutely critical if you want to survive the infamous 1% run.

[@hugojmaia]

Difficulty 5 never gets realized in full rando. Current logic just ignores bosses. So jumping from 2 to 5 only really opens one more shinespark vent in sector 1 and that's it. If you see an item on a boss, that means it's not a part of the "make game beatable" logic and was put there after logic was defined. This is to the point runners of this rando just skip bosses without any hesitation. I'm looking forward to the next version that addresses this current quirk. I enjoy playing the fusion rando on a handheld.

[@chainsawplayin]

I've never seen the base wave beam in Fusion until now.

[@Starkiller5121]

The absolute silliness of the one boss you failed to beat was hiding the last ability you needed. Rip

[@maxthompson7107]

I like how chill this guy is throughout this run.

[@ryuail]

KZbinr, I turned my volume up as requested at 1:03:00. You are correct, audio balance is wack. Thank you for the heads up! :)

Firing a single wave beam is cursed

Here at lightning speed for my favorite Metroid game

[@VinceMouse]

I love it when a jumping enemy randomly jumps into me during a shine spark.

[@azurecorviknight4189]

They should update the diolouge so it says "Its the Item Name" like this "Its the Morph Ball!" "Its the Morph Bombs!" "Its the Power Bombs!" "Its the High Jump!" "Its the Missiles!" "Its the Super Missiles" "Its the Ice Missiles!" "Its the Charge Missiles!" "Its the Charge Beam!" "Its the Wide Beam!" "Its the Wave Beam!" "Its the Varia Suit!" "Its the Gravity Suit!" "Its the Space Jump!" "Its the Screw Attack!" "Its the Speed Booster!" "Energy Tank Found!" "Missile Pack Found!"

[@maxthompson7107]

That’d be a little funny.

[@jasonjellie9342]

40 mins in me thinking: bruh r u sure this is level 5??? How r u getting so lucky? Ridley: you ain’t fought me yet😏

[@SergeantTeabag]

Dude. At 18:57 I had no idea there was a pole there you could spawn with a bomb. I've been shinesparking to get up to that energy tank since I was 5. I still do that now. What the hell.

[@wannabecinnabon]

ngl hearing you dont really play any games casually anymore and how you often lose sleep over grinding out strats makes me feel a little bit worried for you. i guess that's just the grindset and all that but...sounds sad from my perspective, honestly.

[@fettel1988]

I mean, when games become a job...do you really wanna also casual game?

[@JupiterClimb]

I really don't want to give the wrong impression. Being able to play video games professionally is a privilege, and I grind both because I have to and because I love the process of improving.

[@swordsmancs]

@@JupiterClimb I can understand both sides, I love gaming casually but tried streaming for a while and couldn’t keep up. I also love the improvement process tho (I play modded Terraria which is almost overloaded with DLC-level mods that add new bosses, weapons, items, and difficulty levels, not to mention the mods that make crossmod difficulties possible) I’m pretty late to this but just make sure to take care of yourself before your channel, your health is more important than the grind

[@TwilightWolf032]

I will never understand the mentality of someone who sees an easily accessible expansion in front of them and decides against taking it... It just baffles me so much!

[@JupiterClimb]

[@andrewbara3507]

Also, if you have Wave Beam, you can activate the rising pillars in the floor just by shooting the floor.

[@aubreydotvtf]

ayo nice. Fusion rando's are always fun to play/watch.

[@SomeCanine]

Ridley the ultimate troll as always

[@theinktician]

I dont know about Fusion MAX, but I just fiinished doing a regular Fusion rando with Power bombs appearing way WAAYYY before bombs. It was brutal. I generated the seed over a year ago but i just played it for the 1st time. Leaning on Hi Jump, ice missile and powerbombs and Shiny.was a doozy till i found Screw attack. That really opened things up. Or at least i thought that till i found out everything i needed was deep under water (or lava). Bosses consistently dropped power bombs and missiles. Its a bit sad that i wouldnt have had an easier time at all if i remembered to return to the 1st boss to get the Space Jump behind the missile wall. I say this because none of the equipment i needed would have been easier to get with the space jump this time. If I redo this seed to focus on Any% I genuinely might skip the space jump altogether. Remains to be seen

[@blondie5835]

I misread “early PB OK” as “ Easy PB OK” and from what ive seen that matches your usual confidence 😂

[@TridoS]

I think there was a sequence break romhack where you can wall jump more akin to wall jump of ZM. That could be really fun with a randomizer.

[@thuperr2017]

Metroid fusion Sequence break, it's super fun

[@prim4147]

Why didnt the Varia X - Core appear in sector 6?

[@hhh123837]

what happens on the Randos if you access the Nav computer? Does it function like you are playing the Vanilla game?

[@Littledog0808]

I heard there was an update to make it harder-where you cannot use power bombs or upgraded missiles without the base bomb and missile upgrade

[@andrewbara3507]

Pretty sure you need Varia AND Gravity to stop lava damage. Neither one by itself grants that immunity.

[@pieburritos]

are some of the things in this rando that you never get to see in the base game, like the non-plasma non-wide wavebeam, custom made for the rando, or were they always just hidden somewhere in the game's code?

[@guydoesthings7580]

Hidden iirc

[@JupiterClimb]

Beams are custom, yeah

[@hhh123837]

How come at 16:18 you have gotten 2 powerbomb tanks and it doesn't show you have powerbombs? I thought you made early powerbomb options enabled

[@ChloricTheProtogen]

Power Bomb tanks and the actual Power Bomb upgrade are two different things, he cant use power bombs without the upgrade even after getting power bomb tanks.

[@hhh123837]

@@ChloricTheProtogen thanks!! 👍👍

[@fettel1988]

So how does a Fusion rando know when to trigger the final SAX fight?

[@JupiterClimb]

The fight will activate when you have Red Doors unlocked, Plasma + Charge for the boss fight, and either High Jump or Space Jump.

[@fettel1988]

@@JupiterClimb Oh nice. So "go mode" is less about overall traversal capability and more a double-meaning for just literally being able to begin the end.

[@Skottomania]

@@fettel1988 yeah as far as randomizers are concerned, "go mode" just means that you now have all the pieces you need to complete the game

[@zanderandrus7074]

Do you only tick the missile thing in the top left corner one down do you only tick it when you find ALL of the missiles ?

[@dertyp3463]

nice run! love the vibe! never seen this mod. answerered so many life changing questions: what happens when you pick up containers before the weapon? how does a single wave beam look like? does gravity include varia? only one question remains: how does screw look wirthout space? then i can finally die in peace.

Bro this difficulty 5 run looks easier than my first 1 difficulty run

[@riddleiddle]

I was inconsiderate in thinking the only reason you are choosing not to do more Metroid games is because it doesn't match the channel theme. Memorizing how to play one difficult game is exhausting enough. A whole entire other series is completely unreasonable. Just happy you do any at all for the variety 😁

[@maxthompson7107]

Is it possible to randomize the bosses and/or the layouts of each sector? I feel like that could be really hard if it was possible.

Oh, and doors as well

"I just got taken out by a spiny and a slug" Whose stronger soma or samus? "You know I really cant say that's more of an excercise in debate. Isnt Soma supposed to be a reincarnation of dracula a vampire so strong a whole bloodline of humans and a mystical whip is necessary to defeat, and sometimes that's not even enough you need his own son and a powerful mage? Do you remember the last time julius goes to defeat soma he just takes a thorn and a garden slug?
