Super Metroid - Any% Speedruns Comparison - Zeni vs Oats vs Behemoth vs Zoast

[@nickwhite1897]

in another universe this is the most intense any% race ever

[@jeetkunndo]

Imagine somethin like this happening ina tournament, whit the amount of sync and the back and fort of taking the leadership of the race, my mind would blow

[@CosmoRetroGaming]

I love your analysis and comparison videos! All 4 of the "Mount Rushmore" of SM runner legends!! You rock, Zeni! I hope all is goin well, my friend!

[@ThomasGelb-l2q]

Its so insane how these runs are always so tight together despite the many different strategies

[@jeetkunndo]

I love this mix of different speedruns

[@robmaddison8645]

27:12 all in the Varia Suit room at the same time after 27 minutes

[@robmaddison8645]

38:37's pretty cool aswell.

[@ignacioherrera9115]

Love this type of comparisons. Good going zeni hopefully next time it'll be a side by side with oats and zoast's PBs

[@KrazzyKlown]

Never let the category die!

[@Trospie]

I guessitmated about a 14 second gap after phantoon over oats Almost 20 second lead at high jump Entering Ridely down to roghly a 10 sec lead Leaving Ridely it was down to 5 Truely amazing to see them laid out side by side

[@Grimm_ytb]

woah that was crazy side by side hahaha, pure satisfaction

[@CPGlaze]

You got this world record in the bag. Keep grinding!

[@ShinyZeni]

nah, we’ll see

[@MichaelPeckJr]

That ending was sooo close. It was hard to tell who was ahead, but it looked like 2 or 3 frames off. But man, you guys kept going back and forth with placement. Oats' early game was rough and was struggling to keep up the rest of the time. Just imagine if you all combined your best sections what kind of time you could produce. Keep up the effort! You're almost there!

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

It's ludicrously crazy just how optimized most runs are these days. Right down to the *least* popular games, too. Not just classics like SM, TLoZ, LttP, CVania, etc.

[@tanigarcia100]

Thank you wow epic video going to my favorites 🔥🔥🔥

[@scottcorcoran6369]

That was awesome!

[@Linkinitup1]

So cool to see this!

[@LicMegags]

The big 4

[@metroid031993]

Crazy how close it all was. Stashio skip really made a huge difference, and motherbrain RNG did too. Zeni absolutely crushed the early game against all comers, phantoon really shook things up (are we surprised though), and Zoast's Ridley was super fast

[@LukeDupin]

Why not have the world record run 40.36 for oats instead of this older PB?

[@ShinyZeni]

Because his older PB is the same time as my current PB which makes for a better comparison. You could also ask why I didn’t use Zoast’s 40:38 or 40:45 or 40:46 for the same reasons.

[@MyOrangeString]

Oh nooo dude the commentary was gooooold but now it's restricted to members only!

[@ShinyZeni]

@@MyOrangeString no it’s early access for members only lol

[@MyOrangeString]

@@ShinyZeni oh ok, but did you change it? because I was able to access it yesterday. EDIT: and now I can access again! =D

[@ShinyZeni]

@@MyOrangeString the stream VOD is public, the actual upload with minor edits goes public tomorrow

[@sadistic9941]

so oats morph boost at the end put him a few frames ahead at the end or u were taking the pb victory

[@ShinyZeni]

🤷‍♂️

[@xenxander]

Were heated rooms turned off? Ridely killed with two e tanks and no varia? I don't follow that. Ridley's room is always heated.

[@xmacc_live]

Gravity gives heat protection. Deer force probably never thought anyone would get Gravity first

[@xenxander]

@@xmacc_live oh.. they changed that in the randomizer, where it doesn't.. but yes now i remember that original game, if you get gravity it grants you heat protection. *nods*

[@DanArtSigns]

Is the amount of time baby Metroid is on mother brain random?

[@ShinyZeni]

No, the cutscene is variable based on MBs head position, which can change depending on a few things. In my run, her position was slightly forward which gave me a faster cutscene compared to the others.

[@DanArtSigns]

Interesting. Learn something new every day

[@infusionscap]

Not even half a second difference. Wow.

[@EldritchBladesgaming]

Compare to WR. Learn the tricks to make u faster

[@romulus_]

come down to execution and rng luck

[@KQVTownTheme]

Maybe you should read the Wikipedia article on the Dunning-Kruger effect.

[@ShinyZeni]

lmao 🤣

[@EldritchBladesgaming]

@@ShinyZeni i believe in ya. I watched oats for many months until he got his WR. You catching up fast

[@ShinyZeni]

@@EldritchBladesgaming 🤷‍♂️ your first comment just made it seem like you aren’t aware that I know the ins and outs of oats run, Zoast’s run, Drewski’s run, very well lol My goal isn’t WR though.
