Super Metroid - 100% speedrun in

To see twitch chat, split timer, and etc see - • super metroid 100% - 1...
This is the first 45 (in game time) achieved for 100%!!
To see the 1.16.47 run leading up to this one (and the first 1.16 100%):
Twitch VOD - • Video , Direct VOD - • Video
This run introduces a route change compared to all the record runs in the last couple of years after dessy's.
This route is very similar to the run hotarubi used in his SS 50 IGT, and behemoths segmented PAL run on SDA. But it does the gauntlet section after WS instead of at the end of the run (before Tourian), and has a lot of new strats.
The most significant strat (IMO), is the new setup for the springball ice clip. We've known this route was the optimal route for awhile, but this clip had been too inconsistent for my liking when you had to time a beam shot to freeze the leech. It was way too easy to freeze it a pixel too high or low.
The new setup I found uses a mechanic used when storing a charge shot (hold shoot and spinjump). When you spinjump with a charged shot, let go of shot, and land, samus automatically lets go of her stored shot after landing. When you do a specific spinjump up to the leech, taking damage, she releases this charged shot at the perfect time to freeze the leech.
The other stupid trick that was in this route was jumping to the wrecked ship etank. It's very easy without highjump, but pausing is slow. Twocat developed a bomb jump strat that is pretty fast and WAY easier than morphjumping over the gap with high jump.
The last remaining thing that makes this route significantly harder than the previous route is that you have one less etank during all of wrecked ship. This means that you cannot make many mistakes at all between WS etank and gauntlet etank, without losing a good deal of time.

[@lowercasepeople49]

I know this is super old, but maybe someone in the comments can do it. Could you add a timestamp for where you used the new strategy so I can go back and see it?

[@CharlesFalcon12]

what's the new strategy?

[@zoasty]

@@CharlesFalcon12 If you hold charge beam briefly then spin jump and let go of shoot before you land, she will automatically release a beam shot when landing. If you space jump up to the puyo (the worm thing) like i do and take the hit, she will automatically release the beam shot to freeze it in the perfect Y position to clip through the ceiling. If you just "wing it" for trying to freeze it, it's very difficult to get, and reloading the room is like 12 seconds lost. Anyway, my strat here of using charge and the spin jump up was the first really consistent strat for the ceiling clip. People used to go for the strat in older days when runs were measured in game time (failing is less of a loss with game time since the door transitions dont count against you). Before this run (dec 2015), the ice clip route had not been used for the world record since hotarubi's 1:23:34 / 0:50 in game time run was the record (2008ish-dec 2012).

I never got to play this game until like...6-7 years ago on virtual console through the Wii Store.....after having played through it twice, I can see how this is arguably one of, if not THE BEST Metroid games of all time. It plays smoothly, the paths are non-linear with the proper techniques and items, the boss battles are few to plenty, depending on what kind of playthrough you're doing. And the levels/maps are HUGE in comparison to other 2D Metroid games. This one will always be my favorite 2D Metroid game.

@@matthieumartelct Try playing it in a way that is more natural to you. Sometimes the fights can be technical, but if you explore around and collect stuff they get easier if you bring full ammunition. Speed run routes will naturally be advanced, but there is nothing wrong with collecting Hi Jump Boots before you face Kraid.

[@darthvincor]

Impressive. Crocomire after Ridley, never using x-ray or the grappling hook. Maridia via Brinstar. Amazed the whole hour. Makes my 96% in 4 hours look like I only just discovered fire. :D

[@mysticinvasion]

What an amazing run! 100% is my favorite category. Great to see that ice-ceiling is back :)

[@zoasty]

+mysticinvasion Thank you! You may be aware of all this, but the reason I didn't do the ice clip to springball for so long is because it always relied on timing an extremely accurate beam shot to freeze the leech in the correct spot, and you lost ~15 seconds every time you missed it (for game time runs it wasn't as bad of a loss). It was so easy to freeze the damned thing a pixel too high or low! And this is 45 minutes into the run, after the run's major randomness - the phantoon and draygon fights. However, I recently found the setup you see here... you store a charged shot in a spin jump, and if you spin up and on the ledge the leech is on correctly (there still is some timing and jump distancing involved in it), you will get knocked back briefly before samus automatically lets go of the charged shot. The timing works out to where it freezes the leech in the perfect spot :) I was still struggling with the very difficult jump to wrecked ship etank (pausing to turn high jump off and on makes it trivial but wastes time) until twocat figured out the bombjump you see here. With those two tricks figured out, this route isn't much harder than the other one I used. The difference in this route from the old school route hotarubi and behemoth used (I'm not entirely sure the full history of it) is doing gauntlet early, right after wrecked ship. This makes for some very sensitive energy conservation in the wrecked ship where there's not much room for mistakes, but it's more streamlined routing than doing it later (before tourian). Altogether, the routing should save me somewhere between 15-20 seconds. Being able to one shot croc is the biggest time saver. There's also a new strat we came up with that I almost got in this run. At 1:00:55 , you can see a spikesuit performed. This is a pretty new trick, and you will see it used to great effect on the vastly different any% no major glitches TAS that is being developed right now. Basically, you change a shinespark, unmorph the same frame you get hit by a spike, and with a frame perfect jump input, you get a special blue suit that allows you to run with a spark stored. Messing up the camera by balling over croc's head allows you to get behind the invisible wall the game creates during the acid cutscene, allowing you about 3 free extra shots at doing this. If you miss it, you can try it two more times during the 2nd cutscene. Unfortunately, I accidentally pressed jump from a stationary position at 1:03:13 and wasted it. But the intent is to shinespark to X-ray!

[@mysticinvasion]

+zoasty Yeah, I knew most of this, however I haven't seen the ice clip setup in action until now. Also didn't know about the bombjump to the ws etank. Very clever strat :) Also, thanks for explaining the details behind spikesuit. Too bad that it didn't work out, but just getting the setup right seems crazy enough, so still very impressive. So it goes to waste if you jump from a standstill, or are there other conditions behind it as well? It's great to finally see a 1:16/0:45 run. I remember when people though 0:45 was a potential time for segmented runs!

[@zoasty]

+mysticinvasion If you press angle up or up on the dpad (maybe jump in certain conditions) while you are in the air it activates the spark, or if you press jump on from a neutral position on the ground. It sounds a lot easier than it actually is, not to accidentally do one of these!

Hey zoast just curious why you grabbed ice beam early? Don't you usually get that before going to lower norfair?

[@zoasty]

You need ice to do the trick at 43:10, which allows you to delay going into crocomires area until late in the run. This is the new 100% route (with early gauntlet, after wrecked ship, unlike the oldschool one). It saves 10-20 seconds over the previous route used in WRs, although it is a little harder.

Super just felt... gimmicky? Too many weapons, options, the game played so damn fast that to stop and explore, or even stop and actually kill an enemy, felt like you were playing it wrong. Again, I don't blame the game. Compared to the 'press button to watch cutscene' games of today, this is a gem.

[@KayGeee86]

That's what I thought

[@JacM-fq9ev]

Welp. I thought I was decent at the game when I got a 1 hour and 38 minutes. Guess not.

[@nates386]

1 hour 38 minutes is better than decent. :)

[@ryanjay6241]

That's still pretty good. I think I got like 5 hours 30 minutes and like 90% - but I hadn't played the game in like 10 years :)

I remember when I played, I didn't care about how long each section took ... I was loving the entire game. Now with the speedrunners ... WOW!!! From experience, there is so much to remember and practice ... I couldn't do this ... I probably could, maybe ... but within my lifespan? Would I be able to wow the younger generation? Not really. Wow.... Just an absolute WOW.

I feel like Mother Brain must be going through the worst case of panic attack ever just watching you go and knowing you're coming after her.

[@motoryzen]

6:41, HOW were you able to speed morph ball roll passed the collapsing bridge under that door before it closed?

[@TheBanishedWind]

It's a trick called the Mockball. One of the classic Super Metroid speedrunning tricks. Look it up right here on KZbin!

[@vegascribbs]

Motoryzen it’s called mock ball it’s where you have the same momentum as your running speed in ball form you have to jump while running and ball right as you hit the ground you can see it happen if you look closely

[@MrLaddy101]

Run jump and pressdown while in the air then press down againplus the direction before you hit the ground and make sure the balls don't bounce or you did it wrong

[@squeenixu]

Should be called the MACHball

[@jamesg1785]

probably mach ball

[@KelpTheGreat]

How in the world do you do that thing where you take damage from an enemy, and then teleport half-way across the screen?!

[@TheBanishedWind]

Aeolwn HEY DUMBASS IS CAPS LOCK REALLY NECESSARY HERE?

[@vegascribbs]

KelpTheGreat because when you take damage you fly back so if you take advantage of that and look the other direction from the way you want to go and take a hit you fly back and you turn invisible because the invincibility frames

[@KanjoosLahookvinhaakvinhookvin]

It's actually surprisingly simple to pull off (not that I can do it consistently). If you look back at the right moment, you'll get it. Give it a try.

[@Eyedunno]

I gave up on damage boosting for years and figured it was outside the scope of my reflexes due to being told that all you have to do is face the opposite direction of where you want to go when you take the hit. Turns you you also have to be holding jump when you do it, and both of you forgot that detail.

[@oldguyrips535]

I played this religiously when it first came out. My first time through it ever was probably 6 hours IGT. I recently got hooked on it again because of the SNES classic console and emulators on computers. My PB right now is barely sub 2 hours for 100% (1:58 IGT). I learned a handful of tricks from you, behemoth, and oats, but still need to practice. My goal right now is sub 1:30 IGT. But, I'm still a long way off from that, because that's shaving almost 30 minutes off my PB time right now. Short charge, and a few sequence breaks are my downfall (the super missals tucked behind spore spawn still elude me, I can't get the power bomb/super missle down the small tube to work) There are a few other places that I have issues as well: - Wall Jumping up the shaft after getting the morphing ball. - The parlor after getting the bombs (I can't wall jump back up the tube and get the ball to morph into the small opening) - Same with the jump/morph ball to get the ice beam without climbing all the way up the room and coming back down. - My mach ball still sucks (HAHAHA) - And the other big place I lose time is in red brinstar. The hero shot up to the top of that shaft makes no logical sense to me, lol. I watch all of you speed runners do it, and I just can't figure it out. tl;dr: I still suck at the game, and can't figure out how you WR setters/holders can do some of the tricks you do. Anyway, thanks for the read if you did!

[@oldguyrips535]

Oh, and my best out of Ceres station is 0:32, the sub 17 second escapes seem unattainable. (like oats and his :47... doesn't even seem possible)

[@CaptainBlackass]

@@oldguyrips535 i suck at this game. i have so much love/envy/hate/rage about their skills and the fact that i dont have the time to devote to this game because i love this game. it is literally the best metroid of all time. my pb finally got to sub 2hr once and i'm trying to get back to that. right now i'm stuck at 2h05m and can't seem to get lower. but yeah i love this game even tho i suck so bad at it. can't do a mach ball in real time. can't short charge and smash draygon. can't beat maridia without the grapple beam yet. but i love it.

[@oldguyrips535]

@@CaptainBlackass I'm right there with you. A huge part of my issue comes from lack of solid routes through Maridia & Norfair/Lower Norfair. There are TONS of tricks that I can't do, and I have to stop before I decide to start snapping controllers, LMAO!

[@CaptainBlackass]

@@oldguyrips535 I just recently started trying to figure out how to make the most of Maridia and clean up without backtracking out of Maridia to get back into it. Getting slightly better, but I definitely need the grapple beam to do it. Trying to get better at the tricks but it's frustrating sometimes.

[@CaptainBlackass]

used the emulator and the slow motion feature to do some of the tricks like mockball and the short charge. once i get better at practicing those, i think i'll be ok. finally got into the game this past week and got my PB down to 1h35m using the slo-mo to do the fancy stuff like killing kraid quickly. gotta thank Zoasty for some of the ideas. i think they helped.
