[@venomasmark14]

14:16 Me after spending well over 20 minutes trying to pull off a trick in any randomizer so I can continue and not get soft-locked

[@Heavyshadowsound]

Absolutely a huge pleasure to have been so involved with the making of this video. Thanks for trusting me to assist you with this large project, Bash.

[@BashPrime]

I could not have asked for a better, more capable producer to help me with finding the voice and direction for this video. Absolute homie

[@flamancipator21]

I would always joke about how I couldn't speedrun this game because I was NEVER going to do that robot-hop dash over and over and over. This is such a nostalgia trip, and so well produced and made me laugh out loud many times. I'll always love this game, thanks for keeping it alive in the community!

[@hammy5512]

It hasnt even premiered yet but I cannot wait. The amount of times it has been mentioned in the rando vods for it to finally drop?!? Super proud of you man

[@Samura1man]

Good video! Glad we can get across that huge pit in many ways

[@BenIrelandArt]

Super tight editing dude, I’m really impressed! Hope you’re happy with the end result!

Put your hands together, if you want to dash, as we take you through, this vid by Bash HUH

[@Draconif]

doesn't work

[@Rmazer555]

This video is literally perfect. The "I forgor" and 2010 extended dash also encapsulate some of my feelings of when it's really hard to find a video of a trick. Sometimes the resources available to us can feel really unorganized. Even these history videos have explanations that would be super useful for someone trying to learn to run these games. Awesome!

[@GoodnightMoon4]

FISSION METROID is killing me LOL

[@justnzane]

This is an amazing video bash. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I look forward to future videos King, have a great day. Also, I am Bashprime!

[@SchwartzGandhi]

Really great watch! Editing, script, and comedic timing we're all super well done, I genuinely enjoyed the entirety of the video. Congrats on finishing the video, I know you worked really hard to finish it, can't wait to see your next big thing! SFMPWWTPOGGT

[@meteotwister]

Prime 2 was very much a grower for me so i can understand why it doesnt get as much love but its at least on par with prime 1. Would love to see more of this style of content from you about the prime games - the metroid2002 forums were my intro into speed running and sequence breaking but im pretty sure the tricks on there probably arent even a fraction of what we can do now .

[@Very_Viri]

Dude, amazing video, love finally seeing it after hearing you talk about it being in the works!

[@slayernano4163]

This was a very enjoyable watch! It was super fun to hear the little snippets of how the video was progressing during it's making and got me even more excited to see it finally online. Also shout-outs to Extended Dash being found in Prime 3 and being re-discovered in Prime 2 about a Decade later, history like that will never not be funny to me.

[@bobbyrowlett4518]

I like these vids, Bash. For someone who loves watching Randos/Speedruns but has never done one themself, it’s super informative and interesting.

[@unison_moody]

Such a well made video. I absolutely adore the recorded footage.

[@shadowfreak1101]

Did this take time to make? Yes. Was it worth it? Hell yes. Looking forward to more in the future? Fuck. Yes.

[@DKforever24]

He actually finished the video. I wasn't sure this day would ever come.

[@reedwhaley]

I got to learn a lot about Echoes and maybe just a little bit about myself. Great video!

[@VinsCool]

Great video, I love this game, nice to see it got the love it deserved!

[@BurnoutDurb]

Just stumbled on this video, production and narration is better than channels with 100x the subs and views. Looking at your past videos, you've made the transition from livestream to structured content masterfully.

[@BashPrime]

This means a lot to me. Thank you.

[@lakompetenzia]

Amazing Editing!

[@SquankK]

Awesome vid, I had no idea so much progress had been made with new strats. The randomizers are such a blast to!

[@SourLayedBack]

beyond excited to have niche speedrunning content about a game I actually know! Great work, you ARE Bash Prime!

[@DissyIV]

Amazing video. Hope you do more in this style! PashBrime.

[@BaselardFE]

I knew there was a lot of history with this room, but not THAT MUCH! And Screw Attack can do WHAT?? Great video dude :D

[@nystrata]

I wasn't aware of the history this one room had! I love the way this was put together and told!

[@Pabrox69]

I beat Metroid Prime 2 this week and then i starting looking for more content and i ended up here, i didn't know that speedrun any % scenario was so chaotic because of that room xd amazing channel!

[@neochozo]

Didn’t even know you were making this kind of content Bash. Awesome video!

[@antusFireNova]

This was great!

[@MetroidCatchy]

I got this recommended after watching some Echoes' 20th anniversary interview. Really interesting, thanks for making it. :)

[@BruhLookAtThis]

Good video man, love the editing on it too 💪🏽

[@Malurth]

this was sick oh and subbed

[@frankaliberti]

The editing in this video and this dude’s smile makes me feel like he’s a psychopath.

[@BashPrime]

Oh no you figured it out

[@theterribleclaw4285]

I always found the Screw Attack to be a lot more useful in the 2D Games

[@paularized1]

I love the mouths edited in. Just the right amount of weirdness to be entertaining and funny.

[@DreamyMist]

this legitimately inspires me to maybe try echoes speedruns. i've never tried one before. i knew about this room so i always left the game on the shelf. but the barrier to entry looks more viable than ever to actually get into. thank you bash

[@user-oe1hq3wm4r]

Awesome video. Prime 2 is my favorite game of all time. One day I wanna try to speedrun it

Just finished watching this. Really makes me want to learn Echoes speedrunning but I have no idea where to start. I need a guide. Also can someone PLEASE tell me the name of the song that plays at 30:26

[@BashPrime]

I recommend checking out the Metroid Prime speedrun wiki at metroidprime.run. Has links to trick info and community discord servers song is Rising Island Chain, also known as Approaching the Wind Temple, from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

[@Norfair1]

@@BashPrime Thank you, Bash.

[@dublxml]

I’m not by any means a speedrunner, but I’ve always hated this room and trick. It’s awesome to watch this skip because of how much screw attack breaks the game, but it sucks because of how much time a mistake could take you.

[@JangleRod]

This is a poor telling of this room's history. The original, April 2005 hop onto the robot by kip was *NOT* a dash, but the roll jump (m2k2: speed_tricks_topic722.html). The roll jump was then duplicated by silent_echo in August 2005 during his segmented any% (archive: MetroidEchoes_143). It was the only method known at the time. Nobody knew a dash jump was possible until August 2006, when DJ Grenola got stuck repeatedly retrying the roll jump in GA during segmented 17%. Forced to innovate, he invented the dash out of desperation (m2k2: 17_run_madness83.html). This dash then became the standard method.

[@BashPrime]

Damn. I did get that wrong, sorry. That run madness thread completely slipped through the cracks when I was searching the Echoes m2k2 posts. I assumed that the April 2005 discussion was about the dash - the .avi that kip uploaded is lost media to the best of my knowledge, so at best it was ambiguous to me without that second thread. I was worried I was going to get the early parts of the story wrong, and this confirms that I indeed made a mistake. the m2k2 citations are much appreciated

[@samuelnoel2889]

[@pjensen2886]

How do you get this to be HD???

Dolphin emulator and Nystrata's widescreen mod

[@pjensen2886]

@@BashPrime ah, ok. I’ll have to look into that.

[@stankobanko5103]

I wish emulators were allowed for official speedrun uploads. I have a 2:46 any % for the trilogy version and a 3:42 for 100% on the same version. Ik emulators make it easy for people to cheat and thats why they aren’t allowed but its still annoying. I do have a mod for dual analog but if it werent for the emulator rule I would actually be on the leaderboards 😭

[@BashPrime]

Dolphin is allowed for runs until you reach 1:00 IGT or faster

[@isenokami7810]

Okay, the screw attack method of busting down seeker missile locks is sick as f$&@ ngl. Wanna try it just to be cool now. And hey, I might have good reason and opportunity to. I don’t speedrun, but as 1) a fan of randomizers, and 2) a fan of the Prime 2 Screw Attack…yeah, that list of cool Screw Attack sequence breaking is VERY relevant to me. Edit: methods of entering Sanctuary, also extremely relevant to me. Can personally attest that if you randomize Prime 2, Agon route is just going to be the way you get in, and will be your only way in or out for quite some time. Front entrance is a hard wall that requires all its items, not great in a rando run where you don’t know where they are, and at this point I know the Torvus route more for hitting it from Sanctuary first and getting stonewalled on the other side; a bit of a headache since Torvus tends to be more locked down than Sanctuary when you randomize the items.
