He's amazing!

[ThMrksman]

can i just say,

epic TAS is epic

JXQ knows what he's doing

thanks for uploading!

[asdfjkl516]

and how is he charging up without getting a running start and pressing down?

[1whoistornapart]

Fortunately I've already answered this question so I can just copy and paste

The boost counter is incremented on four specific frames that a horizontal direction and the run button are held. By pressing run only on those exact frames, 25, 50, 70 and 85, Samus can charge the speed boost from near walking speed, and ready a shinespark where there isn't enough room to do so normally.

He is pressing down, but he gets up again so fast that you can barely see it.

[Dissolete]

So by running without sprint then pressing the run button on 25 then realese then press it on 50 then realese then 70 and so forth u can get that super short shinespark?

Ive been told a different compination of frames witch is a lot more complicated then that. I suppose mine is a lot faster but more complicated because cpadolf said it was the fastest out there so far...

Am I being a dumbass?

[Kriole]

It is 25, 50, 70, 85 indeed. Also there is no faster way, you can shorten the distance, but that doesn't make it faster.

[asdfjkl516]

why does he disappear when he is on the elevators

[1whoistornapart]

Because the framerate is halved on YouTube. Samus's sprite is flickering on and off each frame, but at 30 fps you're only seeing the frames where the sprite is "off".

[RDSchley]

i love how he skipped brinstar boss altogether on the first vid. this is sick!

[Emulatorgamer]

who needs blast processing when you have the speed booster right?

[unaniem909]

yeej crocmyer! he's my favorit boss in super metroid!

[Sexaman69]

lmao taunt the boss dieing in acid lmao i love it XD nice job 5 stars

[Quincy0047]

wow, that powerup music is getting pretty annoying right about now.

[unaniem909]

yah i know what you mean..

[randomviewer896]

how did you walljump in this game?

i cant get the spazer

[1whoistornapart]

The trick to walljumping is to press away from the wall THEN press jump, if you press both at the same time it usually doesn't work. If you still can't make it then just go down to Norfair and get the High Jump Boots first, then you can just jump up there normally.

[peppercat1515]

ive pulled off some of those tricks b4 but trust me when i say its not easy

[pongus322]

That is F'in dope. I will be the first person with reflexes fast enough to do this without tools!

[1whoistornapart]

Haha, well good luck! I did learn how to approximate it in real-time by tapping the dash button at certain points in the running animation, because I needed it for some items in the SM Impossible hack. Doing it with frame precision just isn't going to happen without tools though :P

[pongus322]

yea i know im just being a jackass. Have you made a video of the Impossible hack?

[1whoistornapart]

:P No, but I might someday...

[pongus322]

Well I hope that you do, Ill be looking for it ^^.

[pongus322]

Can you tell me how he instantly Speed dashed?

[1whoistornapart]

The boost counter is incremented on four specific frames that a horizontal direction and the run button are held. By pressing run only on those exact frames, 25, 50, 70 and 85, Samus can charge the speed boost from near walking speed, and ready a shinespark where there isn't enough room to do so normally.

[Ronitachi]

tas speed runs are cool , but it's just some thing about non tas speed runs that show off a player's true skill

[1whoistornapart]

The two should never even be compared if you ask me. TASes aren't meant to show off skill, they're more like an abstract art form. Although, for a game as complex as SM, it does take some degree of talent as well as complete knowledge of the game to make a TAS as mind-bogglingly fast as this one. Still, Red Scarlet's console run remains the most impressive display of gaming skills I have ever seen.

[Kriole]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some people really never get the meaning of TAS.

Red Scarlet is sick =(

[50C10P47H]

Red Scarlet's Super Metroid run? It's good, but Hotarubi played a lot better in his any% run.

[1whoistornapart]

Nah, there were a lot of tricks and techniques that were discovered between Red's run and Hotarubi's, ironically enough the majority of them were learned from TASing. The level of play is about the same, hotarubi's is just more "evolved" you could say.

[CanplayPiano]

hey at least he knows where everything is eh
