KSG Clive To be fair this is a TAS which means that the person making it has to go through the motions frame by frame and edit it together in an emulator, so it’s more like 80+ hours.
*You start a new save file and Samus gets off the ship* Voice: Major damage has been done to all sectors. Evacuate immediately. *You try to re-enter the ship and THIS Samus just appears*
I'll explain: TAS translates to Tool Assisted Speedrun. The person playing the game did it on an emulator, allowing him to play the game on a frame by frame basis. He basically is allowed to control what happens every 1 60th of a second, because 60 frames make up a second of game time. This allows him to basically perform a "perfect run". This is how a gameplay would look if human error were not a factor. He is allowed to use such things as save states and luck manipulation. So, yes the player is technically human, but he controls essentially everything that occurs in the game and how he is affected at any point and time.
Most likely more than that, because there are re-records for this. He isn't necessarily playing at 1 minute per second, rather he plays for series of inputs at a time, and if he thinks or knows he didn't do it the most optimal, he uses that frame viewer in the emulator with save states to rewind back to where his optimal movement ended, and tries again.
I believe this run is canon for every canon game... except Other M, because Team Ninja forgot that Samus is a godlike badass bounty hunter. Shame, really.
Even though this is tool-assisted and not humanly possible, I just like to assume this how Samus would be in real life, everything just instantly destroyed as she runs through like it's fucking nothing. Who needs a nuke? Just send in Samus.
Well in the manual of the first Metroid on NES it does say that Samus was chosen because she had done missions that had been deemed impossible for anyone else to complete.
Samus is augmented by Chozo's genes, which already makes her more than human. Her suit also gives a great deal of power. So in real life Samus is plausiable to be real killing machine.
I love how Samus messed around. Samus was shooting the area for fun until metal ridley appeared, then began shooting the wall. Then after the boss died, she shot the wall until she noticed energy. She grabbed it and began shooting the door. She then went to check the flashing red eye.
Why do people hate on TAS runs so much? They're just as hard if not harder than an actual speedrun, requiring tons of practice and knowledge of the inner workings of the game, RNG manipulation, and a metric fuckton of time. Yes, they did it frame by frame, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier.
Bubbline they are NOT hard, they're just like writing a very very long MLA ruled paper: time consuming. The guy deserves credit he spent on it but it's not an enjoyable watch.
Harder? I don't know, I mean an actual speedrunner has to play the entire game in one sitting and needs to memorize when and where to do everything, and risks ruining a run when executing tricks that are subject to RNG and human error. A TAS, conversely, has none of these issues. The person manning the TAS can play the game frame-by-frame, allowing them to optimally time every possible input so as to execute maneuvers not possible by human players and manipulate RNG in ways an actual speedrunner cannot. While they are insanely time-consuming, they are quite possibly the easiest way to play a game. It's like physical versus digital art. One is fragile and subject to being ruined by mistakes, while the other has line tools, undo/redo commands, copy/paste, et cetera.
Basically every Metroid game is one of the best games to release on their respective console, and in the cases of Super Metroid, Metroid Prime (AND Metroid Dread imo) some of the best games of all time. Fuck Other M and Federation Force though, we don’t talk about those 2 unless only to say not to talk about those 2. Kinda like rule 1 of Fight Club where you have to talk about it’s existence to tell everyone not to talk about it.
She wasn't afraid, she was suprised. Caught off guard. Even from the player's position, you enter Ridley's room, only to find nothing. You expected a fight, but didn't get one, so you let your guard down, thinking it was safe. You come back, find the door locked, and here's the kicker - Ridley only swoops at you when you turn around. You could stand there for an hour and he wouldn't attack until you turn around, enhancing the feeling of suprise.
MasterShadic2 Childhood memories, blah, blah, parents were killed by Ridley, blah, blah raised by the chozo, blah, blah, Samus is the chosen one... You know if you think about it, this plot is basically a cliche.
Cortez Lee As much as you'd think, Samus canonically fails to get 100% in this one because she doesn't learn to Shinespark or wall jump until Super Metroid when the animals teach her
roland rodriguez a TAS means they actually attempted this 100s of times, and just connected all of the successful attempts together. They either used slowing down the game at some points, reloading after a fail, or whatever. Which is why it says TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun.)
***** Sure, it could've taken weeks to do it. Doesn't change anything. It's like filming a movie. So many takes to get the one perfect shot. It doesn't make the people perfect actors. Its just practice and infinite tries. Doesn't make it any less impressive though.
Question: Why did Ridley willingly come to Zebes if his death would allow Samus to kill Mother Brain? Unless she didn't tell him she used his life as a god damn lock and key to her chamber.
omg..I beat the game But when we had visitors SOME KID IT WAS A SHE , SHE FREAKIN OMGG...MESSED U P EVERYTHING AND ERES ED DELETED GOD DAMN...btw this happened when I was like 8 or..idk
I just realized something interesting. In the space pirate ship, those green ball things and cylindrical robots are also in the wrecked ship from super metroid. Maybe the one in super metroid was also a space pirate ship before it crashed.
Andrew Thomas Word Of God says no. Apparently the Wrecked Ship and the Pirate Ship are different ships, with WS crashing before the Chozo or something, it's on the Wiki
Just bought this game a few days ago based on a "Top 25 GBA Games" chart. Loving it so far, the difficulty and the simplicity of the game play is just outstanding. Possibly one of my all time favorite GBA games.
Wow! Great skills on display. When you can't go back and relive your first play-through; a speedrun is the next best thing. Thank you for reminding me why Super Metroid will forever remain in my top 5, and Samus is still the greatest heroine since Ellen Ripley . . .
Sonic: "Do you have any hedgehog in you?" Samus: "Um, no, my ancestry is entirely human... why do you ask?" Sonic: "Would you... _like_ to have any hedgehog in you? 😃" Samus:
damn, I didn't think I would watch the whole hour long video but I did. Good job man. I missed alot of these classics growing up, I'm playing Super Metroid through now, I was thinking of doing this next, or maybe Metroid Fusion. It's all kinda overwhelming
+Yotatouch I'm simply stating what's in the description. When something is tool assisted, the user can do what normally one cannot, thus appearing to be more advanced. You're on this trip like the user is superman or something. Tool assisting can lower the rate of fire necessary to run through enemies as well as provide heightened speed and damage control. It's like slicing through butter with a hot knife. I'm not shitting on the video. I understand the use of enhancements to help the user clear the game at 100% in a relatively short amount of time. It's all good.
We obviously don't know each other, and i'm sorry if my laugh sounded impolite. It's just the tone you wrote it that surprised me. Since i know what is a tool assisted and watch a lot of tool assisted videos, it's so obvious that even if he uses a TAS, the performance is still very very impressive, i just feel this way. It doesn't really matter how much fast he finishes the game, we just see a lot of interesting and funny things. That's why i think it's really impressive and amazing, even if it's with a TAS ;) Just my point of vue.
It's not really a computer playing the game. You just use tools in order to simulate a perfect human player. One of these tools is called Frame Advance, this lets you record an input for every frame (60 frames/second for this game) in the run. Because of this it takes months to finish a good run. The other main tool is Save State, which is needed to try different possibilities, fix errors etc. In the end you got an input movie file with the input needed for beating the game.
I hope you all realize that this is not actual live gameplay. The person who made this video used tools to get timing and precision down, such as frame stopping. Please do your research on what a TAS is. Thank you.
Well, I was directing this at the load of comments saying how "this guy" is amazing at the game. Maybe you can try to not be condescending, think about what is being said, and pay attention to the gist of the other comments before wrongly criticizing mine.
SnowFaceChamcham it's personagem playing with an emulator with a lot of tools, like slow motion, save states etc. This is why it's called a TAS speed run.
+Marcos Alexandre TAS, (tool assisted speedrun) uses some glitch like hacks, so its gonna be WAY easier. its pretty much hacking. so its not 100% legitimate, for me, TAS is cheating.
+Marcos Alexandre Sorry but what he said isn't really true, to be more exact Tool Assisted Speedrun uses a program to script all the player inputs so the person who made this had to actually kind of play the game to create this "perfect" run. It's a category of speedrunning so it's legitimate but in most cases not humanly possible.
Edson Gamer he/she didn't even get the varia suit at all and then ended up with it at the change. As you can see in about 18 minutes of watching (I believe) he/she goes for it... But then leaves it for an energy tank
