Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

This is the game with the hardest to use wall jump, since it pushes you so far away from the wall. At least you don't need to use it.


The best wall jump is in Samus Returns, by the way.

I think the reason why the space pirates look different is because all of the X copies look different from the original enemy. Presumably, the pirate that the X copied didn't look like this.

E: Since a few people have mentioned it, should I give Samus Returns another shot? I got maybe halfway through it before falling off of my 3DS in general, though with that game I was firmly at "it's alright" rather than "hell yeah this rules".

Gameplaywise, Samus Returns is the best of the Metroid games outside of the Prime series. I think you should go back to it.

There was a bit of desync in this. You seemed to say something a moment before something happened in the game.




Got to love the first Serris reaction :allears:.

For the record, if you just sit and wait, without using the power bomb, the SA-X will leave. Once it's encounter theme goes away, it is safe to power bomb and leave.

It doubles back a couple of times, and it takes a while before it leaves, but yes, it will leave the room.

I hope that you have a death counter for the next video. Especially since Natural 20 never uses angled shots.

Huh, turns out that angled shots weren't a problem. But I was right to expect a ton of deaths.

Given how much you hate using space jump, you are doing surprisingly well in this fight. It's just that Nightmare has way too much hp.

So apparently, the only reason you kept losing against Nightmare was because it kept giving you terrible patterns. Once it gave you a good pattern, you killed it really fast.

I too loved the reveal. the first time before Other M tucked itself between Super Metroid and this and makes Samus retroactively stupider for not connecting the exact same dots while exploring the exact same premise.

I mean, Samus never said that she didn't figure it out beforehand. She only responded with ............ until the SA-X reveal.

NGDBSS posted:

What does the speedrun strat for BOX look like here? I recall back in the heyday of GameFAQs everyone recommended the safe strat that Natural20 figured out. I've never beaten this boss any other way. But I wonder what other options there are.

From some speedrun videos I just watched, angled shots and having B.O.X. go under you to make him stop his jumping/running.

But the real speedrun strat shown at AGDQ2019 uses memory editing to end the game early, right after getting power bombs:

Somehow I had managed to completely block out the Ridley fight from my memory.

You beat the SA-X in three tries. I had to pass the gba to one of my friends at school to beat it (I also had less health than you when I got to it).

Another vote for Aria of Sorrow.

Edit: thanks, Quackles, for posting the ending images. It's probably also worth noting that the Japanese version had a separate set of ending images for Hard Mode (though honestly most of these are kind of... bad, we're not missing much), but they removed Hard in the English release so we don't get to see those.

Minor correction: The NA release of Metroid Fusion was first, and the JP version came out three months after that. They added hard mode for JP, they didn't take it away from NA.
