Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (100%) by MilesSMB in  

SirGrodus He's explaining what is happening.

GrodusSpeedruns yeah that’s the reason I like watching these gdq runs, otherwise I have no idea what’s going on lol

It’s really fun to use these speedrun glitches in casual playthroughs. Like the space jump early in Prime 1

I know this is late but KirbyMastah has practically been around the community since the beginning of Prime speedrunning. His advice isn't to be discarded. Yeah he talks but it's all relevant.

Poor Federation Trooper

Itchy... tasty... (Wait, wrong game)

Some of my favorite parts of the primes was reading the lore .

Hell, I'm surprised you even remember that. I haven't played the game in years and the only thing I remember was Samus' first encounter with the Ing. Everything else is a blur.

I broke my back u

Not at all. I, too, wonder why people scoff at the commentary. I find it both informative and helpful, in most cases. I even picked up some tricks from Miles for prime 1!

Would be nice if the commentary wasn't so dry.

But ist also one of the hardest to learn:D

Better then the 2D Metroid games? They pratically invented speedrun.

New doom is fun to see run too. Byteme did a 100% doom 2016 speedrun at gdq years ago and everybody loved it.

+hgnbfc2 WHAT YOU CAN MELT INGWORMS WITH THE LIGHT BEAM!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS, THAT'S WHAT I MISSED!?! Iexplored the game's entire map twce looking for upgrades and that was what I missed out on? God I am an idiot.

rip

I got 100% ingworms are indestructable i never destroy them and got everything so i dont get it

Hey, congrats!

The game is awesome but most of the things you have to do is so tedious.

Props for doing it 👍

Yeah I’d say tedious is the proper way to describe it. I feel like the amount of backtracking in MP 1 is perfectly paced with the overall game progression. In MP2 every single aspect requires backtracking just by virtue of including light/dark aethers. By the time you get to the sky temple it is quite overwhelming, even on repeat playing, and a lot of it is not particularly intuitive. You have to beat the game like 5 times in a short period to get a feel for what you need to do without stopping to plan it out

I just got my 6 hours and 21 minutes! dreading to try again coz now I get stressed to try to be faster when i play :D hope you improved in the 5 years since too!

Glitchs aren't game mechanics, their breaks in the game mechanics. This is why people say they are cheats. They're basically a speedrunner's version of steroids.

except sports don't have "Steroid allowed" events. unlike speedrunning which has Glitchless% and any%

The glitches ARE part of the game, there's no mistakes, only happy accidents

Glitches aren't cheats. They're just the developers failing to cover unexpected gameplay. The player obeyed all the rules of the game. The rules just had holes in them.

+eiriseven "Ok let's go over heeeeereeeee, wait, no they patched that out. Well at least I can... fuck, jerky-ass motion controls made me miss! Well at least I can, wait, hold on, gotta change the batteries on my wiimote... again..."

+pokefan548 A speedrun would have a route specifically made for the game changed. Ive never had any problems with aiming or batteries with Trilogy.

eiriseven I know, it's pretty good, I'm just messin' :P

+eiriseven Every minute, "A nunchuck is required to play this game."

One of my prouder moments

+Nevan Lowe Ask and you shall recieve...a month later. Kirbymastah describes something as "a lot harder than it looks" 7 times. That's once every 21.6 minutes! Kirbymastah refers to something as "obnoxious" 13 times. That's once every 11.6 minutes! Some bonus info: Kirbymastah refers to something as "a lot more obnoxious than it looks" once. This put one tally in each category. Kirbymastah refers to something as "as easy as it looks" once. MilesSMB refers to something as obnoxious once. Now for a challenge: Somebody count how many times Kirbymastah says "basically," "pretty much," or "for some reason."

+UnaliveSDA Will do.

+Nevan Lowe I'd do it, but it's a lot harder than it looks. Really, that whole request is pretty obnoxious.

+UnaliveSDA I might have missed some of "For some reason", so bear with me, but here are how many of each I counted: Basically, Kirbymastah says "basically" 22 times throughout the run, which is an average of once every 6 minutes and 52.454545452 seconds. Kirbymastah says "pretty much" 17 times throughout the run, which is pretty much once every 8 minutes and 53.7647058822 seconds. For some reason, Kirbymastah says "For some reason" 4 times throughout the run, which is an average of once every 37 minutes and 48.5 seconds. At 2:19:41 Kirbymastah says "You need Screw Attack to pretty much do anything. And you need Light and Dark Beam to also basically do anything or to go anywhere basically.".

+Nevan Lowe KirbyMastah 100% annoying. I prefer Miles' explanations, at least they're not fucking OBNOXIOUS. GET IT?!??!!? I'll see myself out.

+xerusateme111 I got stuck in that room for a different reason. After beating Dark Samus, there's a portal you have to activate and go through to advance. Problem is, I was usually out of dark ammo after the fight, and had no idea you could charge the beam even without ammo. I genuinely thought there was no way out, and reset my console a good 2-3 times because of that. I am not a smart man.

At least the show is pretty good

That's... Actually incredible

@@Guruc13 you replying to this made me re read it and notice that i said "did't" and not didn't lol

Dude, fuck the Spider Guardian, and fuck the Alpha Blog!

Rundas C final count is 255, which includes the initial missile launcher (5), 49 missile expansions (49×5=245) and acquiring the Seeker launcher (5). Despite having doubled up the initial missile launcher, the counter does not allow the maximum to exceed 255, meaning that the last missile expansion purely contributes to completion percentage.

Luke Iannello Oh ok, thank you for explaining.

Victor Aguirre it's a reference to Super Metroid speed run by SGDQ. People donate money to see either the animals are saved at the end of the game or to let them die at the end of the game.

They do that in later gdqs, this one is old

They were probably playing the gamecube version of the game on a wii.

Not in echoes. Most metroid games including the primes are 100% item collection. Fml. 100% scans would drive me insane.

+FlareShift They're numbering everything into parts and adding run start times. I think it's just to make it easier for them to make a chronological play list of the whole event.

+TheCheshireLion They are also adding filters and enhancing the sound where/when it is needed.

+FlareShift In addition to what TheChesireLion and Bradley Bourret said, there were several streams that had an audio corruption issue during their initial upload to RU-vid. Several reuploads were necessary because the audio was terrible.

Colin Campbell that wouldn't be an official port, and wouldn't be a legit run.
