"The SA X is tracking you" | Metroid Fusion Expanded 

That would've been amazing. You think you've finally gotten rid of this monstrer that's been stalking you throughout half the game. You feel like a boss... ...and then you find out there's more of them and your hard-earned victory didn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

Right after Samus got the plasma beam she coulda beaten the sa-x.

@@ericdelbrugge2005 Which is exactly why I think everything after that is Adam deliberately sending Samus elsewhere to avoid the SA-X without raising her suspicion because the Galactic Federation want to capture it.

they are invulnerable against it in all encounters aside from the last one anyways. would've been interesting though.

I have a theory that Adam calls you back to your ship after Power Bombs because that's when the Galactic Federation have taken an interest in the X and think that Samus is becoming too strong. Everything after that is various wrenches thrown into the plan to 1. capture the X and 2. keep the secret Metroid program safe, except maybe Nightmare being released which can either be a convenient distraction that got out at that very moment or something that Adam had released to direct Samus elsewhere after learning she has Plasma Beam. Once Samus recovers Plasma Beam, Adam has a vested interest in making sure that Samus doesn't encounter and defeat the SA-X. This is further added to by the fact that Plasma Beam data was ready to be sent but wasn't, likely being ready after Diffusion Missile data was mistakenly sent after Power Bomb data and just as the Galactic Federation decided that they wanted to capture the X.

@@JohnDoe-yp3zv I dig your theory. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. You can definitely tell that Adam seems to be hiding something from Samus at that point on.

I see what you mean, from here on there are probably like 3 more SA-X encounters, all very close to each other. I might remove the Level X one but only time may tell...

I feel like one more at 6 NOC late game wouldn't have taken away from that.

As the saying goes: less is more

Door transitions are slightly faster.

Your nightmares could be inspiration or ideas! And good ones!

@@ModdedMage 🤯 oh! I never thought of that! Each respawn area looked so different from each other and it was unbearable to hear those footsteps when entering each room. But that’s how Metroid Fusion should’ve been >.>

​@@ModdedMageMetroid Fusion Roguelike would be awesome.

thx

SA-X doesn't even do that in the base game. The only time it ever turns to morph ball is that one time it drops a power bomb.

@@syweb2 oh nvmm but was it a mod or cheat?

@@Venomfang777 What do you mean? If you're talking about this video, it's modded. The entire premise of the video is that it's modded so the SA-X is actually tracking you in this section where Adam says it is.

@@syweb2 I thought it was a cheat cheat sorry

​@@Venomfang777However, the behavior of SA-X isn't modded. It's just the event in the Navigational room that's modded which normally occurs at a different time and space and spawns SA-X following you wherever you go.

You could with ASM but that takes to long to learn

@@ModdedMage agreed XD

The green door leads to an energy tank.

No, I didn't make special edition! I am using as a base though.

@@ModdedMage Ahhh, ok. Well, either way, thank you for hearing me out lmao.

You can damage it and it does have health. But killing it would result in it being frozen in place.

​@@ModdedMageu should make it so the ability thing floats away before you can absorb it, like how it does after u fight it as a boss, there are as many as 10 or more SA-X'S on the BSL Space station so i think it would be fitting

@@CD-OSC-FF I can't make the SA-X turn into an X-core after you defeat it ASM(Assembly/custom code) for the GBA. And as for the ten SA-X's on board. I plan on doing that soon. I've already made a second encounter in my latest video!

Yes!

@@ModdedMage ooo so how much are we to expect to be added with the sa-x?

No not yet

@@ModdedMage Oh...

Originally you could've gotten to box two earlier when you got powerbombs. The green door was supposed to lead to the unlock of level 4 hatches(red hatches) and an e-tank. But the level 4 unlock didn't work so you'll just get a free e-tank.

Oh nice! I'll give this romhack a try someday, there aren't enough Fusion hacks around

​@GeonXP89 You're not kidding. It's mostly just composed of Chinese half hacks and not much else.

@@yorelyoung6407 LOL everyone hates the Chinese half-hacks thx

​@ModdedMage This is cool as a demonstration but it's a bit clunky as a feature. Here's a good idea. Instead of a random SA-X encounter, you can instead, have more scripted near encounters in the beginning half of the game. They can also become full blown chase sequences if you're an idiot in the open when that happens. Also, SA-X has a chance of appearing in areas where you are not supposed to go yet. (Like in superheated or super cooled areas before you get the Varia suit.) And slowly seed in a limited amount of random encounters among the scripted near encounters while slowly reducing the scripted encounters until there are no more scripted encounters. After the dialog about there being 6 SA-X on board, make it unlimited but with a cooldown if you manage to escape.
