You guys are some of the best live speed runners. Absolutely hilarious commentary and really fun run. Good job man. Can't wait to see what you do with this game in the future.

i never see a 100% map category in metroid, good job, i like the run

Hello from Sweden =) Do not know how many times I listened to when playing 100% map completion Aoats. Good commentaries, good maintenance and good atmosphere. I hope you get the support you deserve to continue doing what you love. Peace

[@EebstertheGreat]

1:17:15 Small correction. The softlock in Tourian has nothing to do with performing the zebetite skip (which is probably the glitch he means here). You can always clip back out of the zebetite too if you want. The softlock is actually built into the game. The door back out of Tourian in the room with the super metroid cutscene (the "big boy room") is locked for some reason, so you just can't leave, and none of the enemies remaining in Tourian after the metroids are killed drop ammo. In a casual playthrough, you would have so many missiles at that point that you could just refill them at the refill station and never softlock. But in a speedrun like this, you don't have enough missiles to kill Mother Brain, so you need a lot of super missiles too. With no way to refill them, if you don't get enough drops from the metroids or if you miss shots at Mother Brain, there is no longer any way to advance.

[@revenevan11]

Thanks for the excellent explanation of this soft lock. I wouldn't have thought about the station not refilling supers being so critically important that it can completely soft lock you!

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@revenevan11 It never occurred to the devs, either! Missile packs are so numerous, and super missile packs are so comparatively scarce, that they never thought someone might deliberately skip all the missiles and get stuck near the end that way.

[@greenknight9000]

I actually experienced a similar softlock in my first ever playthrough of Super Metroid, which was my first ever Metroid game; the only difference was I didn't have enough Energy Tanks to survive the unavoidable attack in the cutscene with Mother Brain

[@hoodedman6579]

@@greenknight9000 How did you even get to the end of the game with less than 3? The first one is so obvious that it would be impossible to miss, and the one in the room before High Jump Boots is in a similar boat, so you'd have to just never find the other 12, several of which are in plain sight or are just extremely conspicuous anyway (such as the one in that room that opens after you kill Kraid). You would also have to beat every boss with only 2 E-tanks, which itself is very not trivial on your first playthrough. How much time did you spend walking back to Phantoon and Ridley?

[@thefowles1]

that "kill the frames and save the animals" donation sent me, holy cow

[@parthenonx2697]

This bring me way back to 94 and my own personal speed runs. I didn't even know they were a thing or that they would become a thing. I would just lock myself into my room and play my favorite game. Almost 30 yrs ago now. Glad to see one of my all time favs is still getting so much luv.

[@Psycholad1978]

The commentary in this is up there with Andy’s A Link to the Past Swordless run at SGDQ 2017. Funny and awesome at the same time. Great run Oats...

[@hotshotxi]

Best commentary I've seen of a speed run! Hilarious

[@pianoman7753]

Oats, I love you man. I learned some neat tricks watching you play. Excellence is par for the course when youre playing! Keep up the fantastic work dude.

[@qwedsan3942]

Hey man, recently got into speed running the NES Castlevania games and speedruns in general. Your witty commentary and insane muscle memory of this game made you my favorite SM speedrunner in an instant. Keep up the great work!

[@xXDragonTribalXx]

I always thought it was like the Ze in Zebra and the bes in best. Obviously in germany we pronounce it "Tseh bess" so what I'm tryin to say is, crap doesn't matter. Lore is still amazing for a nintendo franchise and im hyped for the possible Metroid Fusion 2 this year!

[@revenevan11]

Okay but which way do you pronounce the Ze in Zebra? The British say it with the first vowel being the same as in their pronunciation of the letter Z ("Zed") and the Americans say it like Zeebra. I had been calling it Zeebes (like bee with a z, and then the bes as a really short ending sound). But the japanese syllables spelling it in the game (which aren't ambiguous like the English text, at least in terms of how to pronounce it within Japanese) say ze-besu (both "e"s sounding like the first e in enter, the dash indicates a longer sound, and the u at the end makes an oo sound as in loop.) But even how to interpret what they meant for it to be called in when translating from the syllables they used becomes ambiguous (if you were translating some random scifi planet name to Japanese from English, whether it was zebes pronounced that way but without the last u (which to be fair is a bit chopped short in japanese), or zebeth pronounced the same but with the th as in th, both would turn into the same "ze-besu"). So yeah despite my love for linguistic trivia and excuses to bust out my Japanese knowledge, I agree with you that it doesn't matter! Just like with zebra and any other pronunciation, however your dialect or accent says it, and however you as an individual say it (within the bounds of being able to communicate, which with context is incredibly broad), they're all not only fine, but good and correct!!!

[@FastxFred]

I love how Oats and team took a pic together at the exact ending of the ending theme. This whole VOD is just top tier content lol

The Climb is a slightly longer Moonfall than Spore Spawn Supers, at 131 tiles vs. 127 (if you land cleanly on the floor). So 1/4 of a map tile or 64 pixels longer.
