Super Metroid Redesign (9/11) - Any% speedrun in 0:50 by Saturn

8th WIP (work in progress) of my Super Metroid Redesign TAS project.

Complete Maridia clean-up. Demonstrating further Speed Booster techniques to reach some locations earlier than supposed to, or allowing for major route shortcuts to save a good amount of time. Disarmed the last couple of Guardians, including the final Norfair one via the express elevator, before heading straight into Tourian.

----------

Notes:

The complete, slightly different version of the run is now available in a high quality video file for download:

This WIP introduces 2 notable, new speed techniqes that both deal with sandfall rooms. For a separate demonstration and some technical information on both of them, check this videos:

Hey Saturn... great work!....... when you gonna upload the 9th part of it? (WIP 9)

the last one?

Thanks

[SaturnTAS]

WIP 9 won't be the last one, especially due to the very long Zebes Escape at the end. I hope to finish it with WIP 10 though.

Man, how did you get rid of that tunnel in Maridia, the one that's already busted open at 6:18?

Other than that, amazing job!!

[SaturnTAS]

It gets accessible once you defeat Ridley.

[tylerkschrute]

how's part 9 comin?

[SaturnTAS]

Slowly at the moment, due to Tourian being the by far hardest part of the run to optimize. If everything goes well, it should be done in a few months.

Pff, saturn. Decent gameplay, but only with alot of Patience.

nah im kidding. Your the fucking god of metroid. Hail metroid god! :D

[ouchDX]

I can hardly even tell what you're doing half the time.

welcher typ denn nun?

[TheSpastenjaeger]

Wenn Du mich fragst...verschenkte Zeit! Jahre...da hab ich viel spannenderes erlebt...Meine Freundin würde mich umbringen, wenn ich den ganzen Tag vorm Computer sitzen würde! Ich frag mich ob der Typ Freunde hat...Also ich meine echte Sozialkontakte, ich denke aber eher nicht!

[smileuser1]

wie lange? das dauert jahre, um diese gedult und die skills zu enwickeln!

[TheSpastenjaeger]

Ich hab mich hier extra angemeldet,um Dir das mitzuteilen. HIer nochmal für unsere englisch sprachigen Mitbürger:

Shit, how long have you practiced it? I usually take the time f*** the girls arround in the neigbourhood

[TheSpastenjaeger]

Scheiße, wie lange hast du dafür geübt?Also ich vögel in der Zeit lieber in der Gegend rum...

[metalxarms]

holy shit... nice

[gringolazlo]

yeah you have to be careful with those save states, make sure you dont save if your stuck in an area.. which can happen in redesign.
