I love how half of the speedrun is genuine frame perfect commands and the other half is just the guy completely annihilating the game's code and disfiguring it
What's weird is I've never heard of terminalmontage, or seen any of his videos, but I also just got this in my feed. Probably due to the boost in views.
@Alexander LeBlanc I don't think so. It appears it was in the room right after the Ridley boss fight. You can see the broken container in that room. But maybe Ridley just brought back the broken container to that room.
I wonder: If you skip the Bomb Torizo, then go back to that room after the self-destruct sequence begins, would the animals be there, or would you have to fight the B.T. (or both)?
Tengo que darle otra oportunidad al Super Metroid, ya que la primera vez que lo jugué fue un mes antes de la salida de Metroid Dread y se me hizo demasiado tosco y lento en comparación a Zero Mission o Fusion
It's fun to watch just how broken these games can get once you start using tools, like emulating it and running it at the lowest possible speed, allowing you ample time to set up everything pixel perfect
They do that for creating the speed run... then comes console verification on tasbot. Can the tas be run through a real game and console through controller inputs alone.
It's indeed not a real record, it's a TAS record! The hatches can be opened from the "wrong" side by shotting a missile at just the right position which will make it go through the gate. The save is in order to be able to go back to Green Brinstar to die in the room with the fireflies, which is needed in order to skip Mother Brain (don't really know the specifics as to how, other than it has to do with manipulating the memory that is stored in the game for the moment or something like that).
i remember playing this when i was little, and when i didnt speak english. me and my brothers would invent stories about just what the hell was happening at the beginning of the game. we used to think the baby metroid scarred samus' suit and thats why she wanted to find him, to kill him.
That feeling when the mission is to wipe out the Space Pirates and you realize their leader has a self-destruct button behind their room, which you can reach by sneaking through the walls. Complete annihilation.
I liked how the game got extra glitchy during the final escape. It made it looks like it was trying to escape from the game itself before it self-destructs.
Basically he screwed with his save file so that a certain spot would end the game . Which is why he save, restarted, and died. This is also done on earthbound in which you would restart at a certain point to Finish the end.
this run is just what happens when samus comes in to work and says, "fuck it! i'm not fighting shit, and i'm not looking foor this one tiny little metroid. i'm just gonna blow this bitch up and leave..."
Ridley: oh boi samus is on the security feed. I hope she doesnt kill me again. Samus: omae wa mu shinderu Zebes: *initiates self destruct sequence* Ridley: Nani
8:50 I actually thought that Samus forgot to place a bomb there. Legit, i'm not kidding, I actually thought she forgot to place a bomb down there. Cool TAS.
I know this game very well. Have sped run it in about an hour-ish. TAS bot makes it just insane, frame perfect everything. For a human to do this is next to impossible. Still very cool to watch. Awesome!
+Chris PvP Those are like a progress bar, if you defeat the bosses the lights in the eyes go out, if you go there before all the bosses are defeated then only some or none will go out and the floor doesn't sink.
@Blactor I need to save and make a second savefile so I can go back and die in a specific room once I reach Tourian. The reason I need to do this is that dying in that particular room creates some trash in the memory of the game which is what then generates the door I use off screen in Mother Brain's room.
It stands for "Tool Assisted Run". Which means they can replay over and over until they get the gameplay perfect and fit seamlessly without dying/ messing up.
Basically, he's playing via emulator, using computer tools to slow the gameplay down to allow frame-by-frame play and even rewinding bad actions. Meanwhile, the emulator is recording every movement he's inputting frame-by-frame. When he beats the game, he makes the emulator replay (or re-inputted) every frame-by-frame action he inputted and recorded that for RU-vid.
Mother Brain: What do have to report? Ridley: we have picked up on a strange temporal anomaly... and X-Ray radiation is off the charts near the elevator SELF DESTRUCT INITIATED! EVACUATE IMMEDIATLY Mother Brain: well... shit...
It essentially scrambles the data and lets you wrong warp to a lower section on the map. The gold statue is a key/lock system of sorts. Each boss has a glowing orb. Beat the boss, orb breaks. Break all orbs, unlock final area.
It lets you skip mother brain. Without a mother brain skip the whole TAS would be impossible because you cannot best her without at least 3 health tanks, thanks to the scripted sequence.
22:08 notices that when you dont save the animals before the explosion theres a little dot going to the right side but in this cinematic doesnt appear, so i think the way they escape was because that bird who teaches samus does the super speed jump?
I remember playing this back in the day when it came out. I beat the game several times and found a pretty quick path for a quick run. I then told my two younger brothers that if you beat the game in under an hour, that you would get to see Samus naked LOL. I managed to beat the game in an hour and ten minutes. They were so bummed out 😂
Actually, the game speed is being slowed down and glitches in the game are being abused in order to beat the game as fast as possible; if you didn't read the desc.
Galactic FEDs: “Samus, the Space Pirates have stole the baby Metroid and took it to they’re planet filled with the most unforgiving enemies and hostile creatures imaginable” Samus: “Be back in 20 minutes”
In some regards it's awesome seeing the theoretical best, the maximum possible. I also like watching regular speedrunners as well, but well, you know. =D
Is this the equivalent of setting the Nuke at the Master's Cathedral in Fallout mixed with some parallel universes and ancient Chozo reality bending shenanigans thanks to the powers of the X-Ray Goggles?
