Super Metroid 100% Tool-Assisted Speedrun pt. 5

I did not make this. All I did was convert this into a format suitable for uploading to YouTube. All credit for playing this goes to JXQ.

This is one of the best TASes I've seen so far. Even knowing it's a TAS I'm still absolutely amazed by some of the tricks in here. Unfortunately 30 fps is insufficient to capture the awesomeness of the run or the game itself. Not a fan of splitting videos either.

This is really the kind of video series that needs to be watched from beginning to end. In case you're having trouble finding all the links, here they are:

did he teleport to the icebeam at 6:18 or was it youtube's junky framerate?

[1whoistornapart]

It's a framerate issue. Samus's sprite is flickering on-and-off every frame, but on YouTube the framerate is cut in half, so you're only seeing the frames where the sprite is "off". Hope that makes sense :P

[embrezar]

What the heck was he doing around :55 or so? I guess he or the bot got bored? Just lay some bombs, shoot a couple wave beams... just do something until you can speed dash... I guess.

Well the purpose of TASes is to entertain, not just to beat the game as fast as possible. Just standing around waiting isn't very exciting :P

Norfair!

[Sidney600]

Magmoor caverns! :D

[pokepress]

Hidden Mickey at 10:00. Wait, wrong game. ;)

[Quincy0047]

I don't have this game. Why are there random statues holding powerups for samus' suit on an alien planet?

[Uberrule]

Why is it that some Chozo statues come alive and attack Samus?

[Azurmaru]

Wow that is just insane =O
