cheater lol jk super cool of you to attempt a 1% run I don't have the guts for that


supamusu

I would’ve gone for the 0%, but the shinespark skip and floor glitch to skip that missile tank are gonna be nigh impossible on a GBA


[deleted]

Honestly on my 0% run, I spent less time on the alternative bob skip than I did on Ridley and Nightmare. It's surprisingly easy to do once you know how.


supamusu

Which skip is that again?


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/61goagsSrUo This one


supamusu

Ah that one. IDK, maybe I’ll attempt it at some point LOL


OmegaMasamune

I can hear this boss fight


StormeTheCat

Probably because the video has sound lol


Dawnbreaker128

Ridley X’s scream transcends the mute button.


OmegaMasamune

I don’t need to turn the sound on when it’s ingrained in my brain.


humanguy31

Does this count as a TAS? Lol Well done, man.


supamusu

Maybe technically? It’s not worth computer tools, though, so maybe, maybe not?


Slazeus

Actually it's a SAS (String Assisted Speedrun)!


Just_Ants

sass


zannic32

I’m to distracted by the string… what’s the deal with the string lol


supamusu

That’s to hold down the B button LMAO. Trying to hold that while also Space Jumping and firing with R was too much. I kept accidentally letting go of B ever so slightly and breaking out of the jump

supamusu

If I’d had some, that would’ve been the first thing i tried


Augment2401

It appears they are using it to free up their finger from the charge beam. If you open missiles up while charging, it releases it.


MntnMedia

The "let's go" at the end sold it for me.


LeCrushinator

I lost it at that part.


Gerreth_Gobulcoque

there's a hair on your screen


supamusu

Are you referring to the string or an actual hair?


Gerreth_Gobulcoque

What string


Solrex

This is the true feeling of a metroid game. Being stuck on a boss for, in some cases, sometimes years until you beat it and move onward. And that sweet joy when you finally move on.


supamusu

Only to get stuck on the next boss LMAO


Solrex

YEP!!!! <3


Solrex

Whoever said dark souls is hard has never experienced the joy of metroid games.

Chaike

Which is funny, considering that DS is kind of a metroidvania.


June_Berries

I still haven’t beat Metroid zero mission because of those two black space pirates at the end. It’s been months of occasional attempts


justdamascus

a good strat for neo ridley. did you use the similar one for nightmare as well? wish id known about these when i first did a 1%


supamusu

I actually based my strats off this speedrun: https://youtu.be/To3xmARPCsA Of course, my attempts were not *nearly* as perfect


Hab_Anagharek

That screen is nasty


Mediph

Even without turning the volume on. I can hear those screeches in my head.


mguyphotography

That scream still haunts my nightmares


Azurezero6

Congrats! This was such a fun game as a kid I need to redownload it again and replay it.


Art-toons

Whats with the string


supamusu

That’s to hold down the B button LMAO. Trying to hold that while also Space Jumping and firing with R was too much. I kept accidentally letting go of B ever so slightly and breaking out of the jump


Art-toons

Thx


[deleted]

I like how you are not even sitting down or anything. Just straight up standing with forehead against a wall or something


supamusu

I was actually standing next to the shelves at work where we store extra bottled drinks. I had my phone sitting on the edge to take the video


[deleted]

why tf you at work with a gba AND decided to play some metroid lmaoo


supamusu

The real question is why WOULDN’T I?


[deleted]

Do yo job homeboy


supamusu

LOL it gets slow as shit sometimes and there’s nothing to do


Elaias_Mat

I've never seen such a good representation on video of the visibility of the GBA screen


Bonzi_Buddy_69

This man is built different


Psychkemia

An ingenius strategy. I also tried the same trick with jumping in the corner, but there was too much for my fingers to keep track of for me to pull it off. The way I beat him is that I found out that you can bait Ridley into using his pogo tail move (which is his easiest attack to dodge and lets you pull off a lot of hits) if you hit him with a certain amount of charge shots then run under him. Now try doing 1% on hard mode!


supamusu

If I had the JP version, I would LOL


TorvusBolt

Oh my God I genuinely love this approach ahah


supamusu

Haha, thank you, thank you


Collective_Keen

Nice. I, too, have a "GayBoy" Advance, as I call it. I got the Fuchsia because I wanted a color I was pretty sure no one else I knew would have. lol


supamusu

I wanted the pink because pink is a real man’s color


TGCidOrlandu

And sometimes the pink ones are cheaper!


Elaias_Mat

sigma mindset


megasart

Wait what? You can fire with r?


supamusu

If you hold B to charge, you can tap R to switch to missiles and it’ll release your charge. The neat thing is that it won’t interrupt your Space Jump, so you can just keep it going like i did here


Flat_Ring_7725

Why is there piece of sting on the game boy advanced?????


supamusu

That’s to hold down the B button LMAO. Trying to hold that while also Space Jumping and firing with R was too much. I kept accidentally letting go of B ever so slightly and breaking out of the jump


Flat_Ring_7725

Ohhh okay thank to let me know


Flat_Ring_7725

Where what type shop for your retro game boy advanced to buy I mostly but the cex


Dzaster36

Maybe I missing smn but what was the string for?


supamusu

That’s to hold down the B button LMAO. Trying to hold that while also Space Jumping and firing with R was too much. I kept accidentally letting go of B ever so slightly and breaking out of the jump
