They really nailed Samus's body language in this game. In fights like this, both pre fight and post, you see her being stoic, calm and badass without even a facial expression or line of dialogue through little actions like charging up a shot calmly from a standing position or coolly dodging a big projectile from a giant thrashing enemy. This a great portrayal of Samus.

I had to drop in here after finishing this fight! I love how well this moment characterizes Samus as the level-headed legendary bounty hunter we all know and love! She drops into the room and when Kraid starts coming up on her she steps back just enough to make sure Kraid can't get a bite of her and while he's thrashing about trying to get her, she just charges up a power beam and blasts it into Kraid's mouth totally unshaken. I never actually played Other M, but from the little I've seen, this one moment captured more of her character than all of Other M even though they introduced Samus' voice acting in that one.

@Ryan Vetter LMAO other M had her character paralyzed with fear over the boss she's beaten numerous times before. And also, you know, loudly having a panic attack. And if she wasn't doing that, or monologuing about THE BABY, she'd be getting the crap beaten out of her because daddy Adam hadn't authorized her to be cool yet, or to use any of her actual abilities that would help her in combat. Please tell me again how they're similar?

Other M did finally give the series cinematic flair to the combat; future entries took that and made it actually feel good too instead of just looking good. Other M’s legacy may be a stain overall but I’ll respect how cool the action looked. I doubt we’d have the same boss ones seen in Dread and Samus Returns without it.

@eddster19873 жыл бұрын
One slightly counterintuitive thing about the fight is that it’s actually a good idea to NOT move when he’s doing his claw throwing attack in the first phase, unless you can’t shoot down a claw in time. It’s actually easier to nail him in the mouth with missles that way instead of during the spit attack. Also, as soon as the fight start hit him with missles throughout his starting roaring animation. It saves mondo time.
@evanbao933 жыл бұрын
A terrible advice since his right claw always land top of you as you're firing into his mouth, away from the line of fire. It's best to move when he's using his right claw.

Samus's sheer level of *disrespect* in the beginning is unreal. She starts with a clear "ready" stance for what she assumes will be a fight against a dangerous giant, but she drops it the instant she recognizes that it's just Kraid. Then her shot into his mouth was so condescending it was clear through her heavy power armor. Excellent use of body language, this game is amazing.

I don't think enough people realize this, but I really like how kraid is chained up here. In the original 2D Metroid games, he was kind of always fixed in this position just throwing projectiles at the player. You never really think about why he doesn't just go in and try to eat/ crush her to death with his own hands/claws if he's gonna be at a point blank distance because it's an 8-bit game and you can just sort of excuse that face or not even think about it, but with how beautiful and detailed this game looks, I think the audience would've picked up on why he doesn't just do that, so having him chained up in that position not only makes the fight and the character look cooler, but also solves the issue of the player asking why he doesn't just go after samus, I mean, they even show him attempting to do so in the intro of this fight.
@otakujiji3 жыл бұрын
Samus acts super badass in this game. Also Kraid has quite the personality in this game, he is clearly pissed at Samus, and VERY annoyed over the fact that he is chained. The look on his eyes and overall animations makes it look like Kraid does have a personal vendetta against Samus

people all out here talking about how cool samus is in this game, which is true, but theyre sleeping on how awesome this game's portrayal of kraid is. one of the things i love about metroid is that most of samus' enemies are not typical villains. yes, they are intelligent lifeforms with grander goals in mind, but they're also giant vicious monsters that would sooner just straight up eat you rather than try to properly confront and interact with you the way villains usually would. this portrayal of kraid gets that across really well.

This fight seemed hard at first, but once I got a strategy down it was pretty easy. Phase 1: Go hard with shooting missiles into face, pausing only for the attack when he shoots projectiles out his mouth so you can blast them away and get some missile pickups. You want to get this phase over with asap, and you probably do it in like 30 seconds if you're aggressive. Phase 2: No need to bother with the belly button. When you're standing in the pit, always charge the charge beam and don't bother free aiming. When he lobs a bouncing orb at you, time your charge shot shooting straight forward to destroy the orb and get some health/missiles. It's a nearly foolproof way to avoid taking damage from those and recharge energy/missiles. Then you just have to get the hang of jumping up the spike platforms, grabbing the blue wall, and lobbing him with missiles. Watch for the counter opportunity as well.
@kac05593 жыл бұрын
You don't have to actually charge the beam.
