Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Any% Speedrun (

[@Draconif]

why do most speed runs go to san fortress

[@amirchollet2975]

Because the other route doesn't work

[@maguirebronson5902]

The music

[@Rockhard1492]

Imagine waiting for years, fighting a losing war against an alien invasion, and then some random bounty hunter shows up and saves the planet in less than an hour without even talking to you.

Not only that, she doesn't even get all of the stolen planetary energy, she just humiliates the Emperor Ing so hard the other guardians just throw up their hands and quit.

It's the same when you try to build a house without an architect

[@alakazavartin]

That dark samus skip at the beginning will never cease to amaze me.

[@PuppetMasterIX]

I love that this run exposes the Energy Module does absolutely nothing, and Samus can just inherently carry a planet's energy completely unassisted.

Dark Suit: Im still waiting...Why did nobody pick me up?

[@voyaage1969]

the parts where youre in the dark world with just the varia suit draining your health gets my cheeks all clenched up everytime

[@LegoSonic-p2f]

I still shudder from this.

[@DragonLord0319]

I know! it was crazy

[@Model8197]

Constantly improving upon your World Record. I admire the determination. Watching you complete the prime series at such fast paces inspired me to practice speed running myself. And although I’ll never get to your level, you got me into something I love and I couldn’t thank you enough.

[@MrMiguel211]

I'm glad to be someone else's inspiration! Best of luck in your journey.

Insane. This is completely unrecognizable from when I last watched a run of this game ~15 years ago.

[@lumipakkanen3510]

O great emperor, how did she defeat you? The battle must've been fierce! "Well uh, she just awkwardly jumped at me twice."

[@aurum4146]

Insane run. I picked up Prime a while ago and had fun with it but echoes just is insanely hard to even get in to... Still one of my favourite games to watch. Love the runs and lurking in stream from time to time. Keep it up man :)

[@MrCaptainTea]

Really? Echoes was my first and favorite prime ever! Even now after playing all the Metroid games

[@LegoSonic-p2f]

Wait a nanoclick Quadraxis, didn't Samus already destroy you?

[@renaissent]

Dark Samus must be so confused. they set up all these elaborate things to try to kill Samus and she just ignores all of them, kills a king in 57 seconds, and promptly disregards the physical bounds of reality the entire time speedruns are wild

[@kurokurokuro9152]

Emperor Ing: "Okay guys, we have like 20 hours left before this bounty hunter is gonna come through that exact door and we're gonna give her a hell of a hard time. Any ques......what the..... AAUUGHHGHGHGHGH" *Samus emerges from the Emperor Ings Chest in a huge fountain of blood"

GG, mate. Thank you for continually destroying my favorite childhood game. I watched on Twitch, because hearing the commentary makes it all the more enjoyable!

[@domonictabango3255]

this is one of the most absolutely mind blowing runs I've ever seen

[@williampatrick2971]

This game was so difficult to beat. I can only imagine speed running it

[@PapiFeelz]

grew up with prime 1 and 2 fucking amazing run much love bro

[@ExtremeAce]

Congrats on this WR! MP2 is my favorite game of all time and even though I don't really speedrun it, I still love watching runs of this game because of how insanely it can be broken (Screw Attack for the win baby). Amazing run, here's to another PB!

[@hojo-was-right8175]

awesome work! I remember Echoes being a challenge for me in a normal playthrough almost 20 years ago. I remember as soon as I beat Dark Samus I was never going to play it again, but seeing this speedrun has got me eager to play it once more

[@MettanAtem]

I like how Chykka's first form takes an excruciatingly long time, and then the second form just dies instantly.

[@rubemartur8239]

Speedrun using save point (giggles) but its because of this constant damage... magmoor caverns vibe brings nightmares to non-varia suit speedrunners

[@sjehgdywu]

神！！ 私がまだ10代の頃、メトロイドプライムシリーズにハマりましたが、貴方に最大限の賛辞を送りたい。 貴方を含め、メトロイドプライムシリーズの攻略を、今でもしている方が何人かおられますが、私は注目して観ています。応援してます！！

Insane run! I loved it!

[@MrCaptainTea]

The movement throughout the whole thing is CLEAN

[@BlazePentsky]

Jesus christ, this is the first time I witness that way to getting screw attack. Thats amazing. Long gone are the days of having to go through and use all 4 spinners haha. I really need to try to do that myself! It looks hella hard given the robots that need to be stood on, though.

[@BlazePentsky]

13:33 GOOD LORD AND SCREW ATTACKING OUT OF BOUNDS? Watching you do that got me to clentch my cheeks since I know how poorly that could go haha! Legitimate wow factors all around in these plays and routing.

[@BlazePentsky]

21:12 AHHHH and that Air Underwater HAHAH. I couldn't help but audibly laugh seeing you do that! CLEAN!

congratz on WR!

Absolutely incredible

[@skakirask]

I will never not be stressed out watching runners navigate the dark world in the varia suit

[@AlphaStrategyGuides]

Congrats on the new WR! Crazy to see just how broken the SA is on even the final DS fight! What hardware did you use to upscale the video signal so cleanly to 1080p?

[@MrMiguel211]

In OBS Studio the game is outputting at 720x480, then I upscale it exactly to 1440x1080 and then I crop out the overscan black borders, add brightness settings etc, then once I'm done I take the recording to Sony Vegas Pro, take out Livesplit, chat and whatnot and render it in 1920x1440. (Yes, the video is in 1440p but KZbin takes a while to make it show up...) EDIT: Unfortunately I later realized that I didn't actually set it to render in 1440p, but 1080p on accident... bummer.

[@MrMiguel211]

Really what you're seeing is just 480p upscaled to 1080p, the only reason for that is that KZbin allows for a higher bitrate on higher resolutions.

[@MrMiguel211]

And I use this capture card www.avermedia.com/us/product-detail/C985 with a Mayflash HDMI Wii Adapter. It's definetly not the best way to capture but it's good enough for me.

[@AlphaStrategyGuides]

@@MrMiguel211 Ahhh. I thought you were using a hardware upscaler between the GC/Wii and the capture card (did you use Topaz Video AI to upscale after the 480p source capture?

[@__Ned_Flanders__]

Bro made dark samus confused for not meeting it at the start

[@Virken_]

I'm confused as to what happened at 11:40. It just kinda looks like you teleported. I'm seeing a lot of new stuff in this run compared to the last speedrun of prime 2 I saw, and I'm wondering if this is a new glitch.

[@wayatvideos2142]

@Andy G. Very likely; since in game programming, a usual way of having an object be “carried” is by assigning it to the same transform as the moving object. When the transform is reset, child objects (Samus in this case) get relocated along with it.

[@carteradams1079]

I use janky speedruns as a sort of meditation. The sequences, phases, etc. I admire your skill, but I'm not that invested in speedrunning as a sport? This is like professional soccer to me. Bravo.

[@jordanfranck]

If you told 12yo me that you could start a new game and get to Sanctuary Fortress in less than 10 minutes I wouldn’t have believed you. This was awesome

[@spimbles]

SWAG !!! youre fucking insane

[@Reevin]

Even now watching this again I remember how painful all the loading scenes got. Just when you went 100%. All the constant portal transitions. Can't wait to see this game running on an ssd.

[@Abahbob]

incredible

[@LegoSonic-p2f]

How did you take 0 atmospheric damage from the atmosphere of the Power Bomb Guardian?

[@BashPrime]

Cannon Ball State that Miguel gets from doing the kinetic orb cannon sequence in Workers Path, right after returning the sanctuary energy

[@Jefbosa]

I love metroid so much this is awesome. I know it's a little old but I have to ask, on the elevator you're just pausing and unp-ausing constantly and it doesn't appear to be doing anything? I'm sure it's doing something but what is the purpose of that? I just have to know ha

[@MrMiguel211]

It's done to delay the load of the big room, pausing a bunch like that does that. It's needed because otherwise there is an invisible wall blocking the way (It's the super missile laser barrier collision, yeah it goes THAT far down for whatever reason. Thx retro studios) so then I get into position past the barrier before the room loads.

[@Jefbosa]

@@MrMiguel211 Oh wow that's so neat! Thank you! IT was an awesome watch!

[@michaelgreen452]

[@NootNoot1121]

at 26:04 why do you pause buffer on the elevator?

[@Twinsen764]

This makes KirbyMastah's run look bad. How did you do grand abyss first try and get screw attack without the cutscene. Skipping quadraxis from a different direction and barely living. And also defeating chikka adult by just running in the middle. Explain.

Seemed he rolled under it just as it was stunned in its Light Form and that somehow instakilled it.

[@aurum4146]

​@@TheBanishedWindWhen you use the cannon in fortress and it fires you out of bounds the game kinda forgets that you arent in the cannon anymore. And the cannon state just happens to deal a shit load of dmg to some enemies (including chykka adult)
