[@joelcomer]

Lol and this game took me 7 hours with a 34% completion rate

[@Jeffkanku]

34% is pretty low, that’s a challenge in itself lol. I mean you don’t have many things that make the game easier at 34%.

[@zulianfr]

34% is low what

[@Jeffkanku]

@@zulianfr only collecting 34/100 items and then beating the game is not easy as you’ll likely be under equipped.

[@zulianfr]

@@Jeffkanku I agree I was surprised he only gets 34% also any item counts as 1%?

[@Jeffkanku]

@@zulianfr yes there are 100 items between all the majors and minors. Each count 1% towards your 100% collection rate.

summoning salt will be on this soon enough

[@martinfischel9646]

hope so, this categorie is amazing

[@Ultracity6060]

I sure hope so. I was into speedrunning this about 20 years ago, and there's a bunch of origin story I can't quite remember. I'd be cool to see it all dug back up for me, private detective style.

[@giancarloubaldino2340]

@@martinfischel9646 I hope so, his Super Metroid any% video was what got me into speedrunning.

This is a legitimate ARTFORM.

It must feel good to hold a World Record on one of the games that popularized speedrunning as a whole

[@ndknight]

For someone who holds a world record in such an iconic speed-running game, I'm surprised to see you with only a mere 9k subs... But good job. I'm happy with my 100% in 2 hours.

[@joelcomer]

Lol

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

The level of dedication is off the charts, knowing that you still practice is a large part of the proof, multiple world records don’t hurt either, great job.

[@theadjunctskitchen9941]

This was the first speed run I have watched. I was planning only watching for a few minutes but it was so damn compelling I couldn't stop! Great job, great video, and huge congrats!

[@zoasty]

That's awesome, and thank you!

[@erimgard3128]

Return of the King

[@Letrictox13]

Absolutely remarkable, I watched both of your world records. Like a magician, one swift motion. I can’t fathom the YEARS it must have taken to get achieve this level of mastery of any game. Well done.

[@Prodmullefc]

I just wanna say was a cute story when that person in chat mentioned how Zoast got their seven year old into playing this game after they found it too hard on the SNES Classic and found zoasty as a useful guide. You like seeing stuff like that.

[@bjorme78]

Just saw this comment. This was my story. We actually watched his stream together on fathers day.

[@tezzyoderuth]

@@bjorme78 That's mad cute bruv.. Family times the best time 💯

wholesome moment

[@Tripledeluxer]

I just can not stop being impressed by the movement displayed in every single room

[@coolpapabell22]

Every time I watch a run of this, there's a room strat that I've forgotten or never seen before that floors me. This time it's the Blue Bomber to get the missiles in Aqueduct. 45:26

[@doopliss6648]

The memory you need for this… How do you have such godly memory, and godly skills, like, how do nail all those inputs so perfectly, and I just don’t understand how this is humanly possible… like wall jumping, well with the switch controller lol is hard af to do it consistently. Man oh man, amazing job…

[@zoasty]

Thanks!

[@professoroak1920]

I like to imagine this is the cannon run of this game

[@Mithr0s]

With the way Zoast has been running lately, a sub 1:13 was only a matter of time. Nicely done!

[@GenyaArikado]

Finally! Your hard work paid off! You are the best Super Metroid Player ever!! I have followed you since 2013

[@michaelcleavens]

When I was a kid I used to play this game, after this video I still feel that I'm kid playing this game.

[@fettel1988]

Holy shit! I need to stop missing these streams. Gotta be part of the event

[@CraZyKFuD]

it could be worse, you could've joined at wrecked ship, seen the splits, known that he was definitely gonna WR and Fell Asleep, That sucked

[@samue1991]

Same fettel, same

[@Goatllama]

Dude, I was playing another game at the same time and of course my computer decided to shit the bed right at the climax, was a choppy mess

[@renardleblanc5556]

There once was a runner named Zoast, Many techniques and mad strats, he could boast. But with reserved concentration, though nary a save station, Ridley and MB were toast. (alternatively: "All the old records were toast)." I'll show myself out now. :)

[@enumaelish11]

19:59 that move is art.

[@wompastompa3692]

Nice final missile count.

[@antonioreed7313]

Dude that was so sick! I was kind of confused at first, because I thought you lose all your supplies from motherbrain fight, but that must have been part of the glitch he did in that boss.

[@Alex-yy6cs]

I knew you were top of the line when I first started watching you 9 years ago. Congrats man, that look of pure joy on your face is infectious and made me smile a bunch. Good to know i'm good with predictions too. Keep at it, you beast!

[@tehberral]

This just makes me mad at Phantoon for giving you a slow fast. That run was insane and Phantoon couldn't be a bro just once.

[@ksmoove12able]

He played it like Samus would if she had a mission! This was blissful to watch. Congratulations!

[@HeatherSulu]

I just finished this game yesterday in 8hrs or so with 67% pickups The xray visor was a godsend for me Really cool to see the various tricks speedrunners use in here Also cool to see reversing right before spike hazards work as a boosts, that idea had already formed in my mind before watching this but hadn’t tried it yet

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

One last thing, around this time last year was the first time I ever saw game play of this game let alone speed running , and that very first footage was none other than Zoast. You’ve made this game a part of my life now and I’m great full for it, watching you and all the other top runners is truly inspiring, how I never played this game as a kid is beyond me, what an incredible, timeless game I truly can’t believe that at 40 years old I’m just starting to play this game now, better late than never.

[@kevnastics]

I can say pretty much the exact same thing about my super metroid journey. Started watching Zoast, started playing game. Became obsessed. Speedrun. Am 40 too. How cool. GL. Speedrunning this game is super fun. Zoast is awesome

[@martinfischel9646]

@@kevnastics same here

[@jordanphilipperris]

Yup, 41 here and still a huge fan (You may also want to check out the net for Super Metroid Rom Hacks), and if it wasn't for my dad finding out about this game and thinking that it would be something that would be of interest to me I may have not come across it till much later either, if at all. I am amazed that I never saw any commercials for it back in the day either...

[@thomasdr08]

And to think, he could have shaved another 10-20 seconds off. Outrageous gameplay!

[@okamotokitchen448]

Was a pleasure tuning into your streams all last year. Very happy you were able to achieve such an insane time but sad that at least for now, the journey is over. Thank you for being a great host and hoping to see you running SM again in the future!

[@joereusser7428]

Great run Zoast! I know you've been working your butt off on this! Congrats!

[@mikkol.1376]

There's certain melancholy in knowing that this may well be the last minute barrier broken in this category for a long time, or ever. Congratulations, it's been a long time coming.

[@maxiqums1549]

not to mention this speedrun filled with 1000 mistakes so 1:12:55 seems surprisingly low for Zoast's level. I really don't understand Super Metroid at times, does PB optimization give that much handicap to get WR by 10 seconds and that amount of misplays) Congrats to Zoast though

[@Skelig]

@@maxiqums1549 idk what you're trying to say but you can see in his video that his sum of best is only 43 seconds better than this run. losing 43 seconds in a 1:12:xx speedrun with this much execution and rng is pretty dang impressive

[@maxiqums1549]

@@Skelig It's really good. Probably it's just me. 1:13:08 seemed a lot more accurate as a whole just for my taste. And Zoast pretty sure able to make 1:12:3x even by now

[@zoasty]

@@maxiqums1549 1:12:3x would be very difficult, but it's hard to predict, so maybe. Yeah I made a number of mistakes here, but none of them big, and there are many many things that DO have to go right for this. To have no big time costing mistakes is very rare in this run plus there were some areas that were fairly flawless here, like early game to phantoon and croc area to tourian entrance. Then you need to clutch out tourian under pressure without losing much of any time as always.

[@justinbrown9692]

@@zoasty as amazing as this is I think you are underrated! The amount of skill and dedication puts you up there with the likes of motocross superstars, NFL & MLB players etc. Really incredible to watch!!!! Normal humans are simply not capable of this feat.

[@SeanDaRyan]

100% is always the best category in every speedrun IMO

[@Richard-Espanol]

As much as I like to sometimes see all the ways a player can get through a game as fast as possible I find that the guys who do 100% runs are on a different level of dedication to a game. Always fun to watch streams like this because you can see the relief and joy from all the work they put in to get that perfect run.

[@koalanectar9382]

Haha, I've been playing this game since the day it was released and there are a bunch of missile pickups I never knew existed! Wild. Great fun to watch.

0:42 Well, I player Super Meteroid blind after more than a decade. Collected 97% (OK, I saw now where I missed the three rocket packs) and 3:44. Damn, when I was a teenager, I was able to beat the game in less than 3 hours with 100%. But this is just wow! Congratulations to so much skill! :) Motivates me to train for a better run (not with your skill, of course, but something better than last time ;)).

[@adamkeifenheim1727]

Crazy good early game up until Phantoon or so. Slow Fast. Minor issues in reqt ship and Brinstar cleanup, good through Draygoon. Maridia is tough. Good Lower Norfair minus the Rodney pattern (Grrr). GOD TIER Blue Brin and late game. Good to great Tourian with only minor issues. Well done sir, the first 1:12. What's crazy is that there's still 11 seconds on Ph*******ss, ~10 seconds in Maridia, ~5 seconds on Rodney, and ~3 seconds on MB2 (and still allow for minor execution stuff). What's even more nuts is that you got WR even with those things and almost all of those are RNG. AMAZING execution over the course of one and a quarter hours. Thanks and GL on the runs, zzazzman
