>morphball sprint
>wall jumping is overcomplicated
Yet it has a charm that the other games don't have.
I've been playing the 2D metroid games for the first time and so far i've completed Zero Mission and AM2R, but Super is the jewel of the crown

>wall jumping is overcomplicated
Its actually the most intuitive mechanic in the whole franchise

In the other games it's easier to do it
In super the timing is just too hard

The window in Super is a lot wider than other metroid games, it's just different.

If you started wall jumping in Zero Mission you'll find it harder to adjust to the change.

Don't wall jump like in the GBA games. Move into a wall, move away from it, and press jump when you see the sprite change to the one in OP. It's easy as shit as long as you're patient.

I can't seem to wall jump on the left side but can do the right side perfectly, it's strange. Fusion has the best wall jumping imo.

>1/Zero Mission
>2/AM2R
>Super Metroid
>Fusion

is that it? there's no other 2d metroids? 4 games?

Well, i'm emulating i don't know if it's imput lag or something but i can't do it properly for some reason, even though i already do it as you said.

Zero Mission and AM2R play so differently from the originals that it's retarded to lump them together.

Yep, that's it.
The originals are dated as fuck, but if you're in for some suffering go ahead.

I agree. They ruined every single thing. Every SINGLE thing. Just shat on it. All of it. No part of it can in any way be fun. There is not a scrap of fun to be had. I wouldn't waste a second of my life digging through this gigantic pile of shit to find the tiniest bit of fun, fun that isn't there by the way. This game truly is a waste of the developers' and everyone's time. Not one single human being has any right liking this. It is simply incorrect. Every aspect of the game which has made the original so great has been soiled. There is no goodness left. All that remains is feces. Disgusting, fetid, fecal matter. I am infuriated that my eyes have been subjected to seeing such a horrible disgrace. These are dark times. This mod is a travesty and a perversion. You are getting what you are paying for with this game, nothing. You just waste your time. That's all there is to it. You sit there, staring at your computer screen, regretting. You regret having ever even thought about playing this game. That's the game. Not even a game. It would be an insult to games to call this a game. I can't think of a word that appropriately describes this disgusting mess. There is no word. Nothing before has ever been so horrible. All the many things I have seen in my life have never infuriated and disgusted me to such a degree.

This game is truly awful.

>Lumping ZM/AM2R with the originals

baka desu senpai.

>only 4 metroids exist

I want to kill myself

go to bed, ghost of understandu man.

How well does Metroid Prime run on Dolphin 5.0 ?

>just beat super
>96%

fuck

Looking at speedruns of super makes me think that it's one of the hardest games to speedrun.
The things these guys do are insane.

There is a lot of depth to the techniques used in expert Metroid speed runs. But it's also very accessible to casual speed runners.

Some of the shinespark bullshit that needs to be done for 100% speedruns is nuts.
I'd hate to do that Zero Mission energy tank shinespark under timed conditions and needing to do it first time perfectly. That thing was horrific.

>People recommending Axiom Verge
>"Man it's exactly like metroid you should check it out"
>Grab the fucking game
>Most things are just plain weapons
>Movement is like contra, simplistic as fuck

The only game that is trying to actually replicate Metroid in any way is Ghost Song so far. People are like "buh you have all these metroidvanias and shit" but niggas will never fucking understand

>can only damage metroids with missiles
>run out of missiles against alpha metroids
>no way to refill missiles during the battle

WHAT the fuck were they thinking? At least let me damage their underbelly with the blaster.

Come on mate, that's not accurate.
You gotta memorize every single room of the game in order to speedrun it.
And some of the sequences are JUST too much

I just beat Zero Mission. How tough is 100%, is it doable without a guide?

Also can I even use my old save file or am I going to have to restart the entire game because I saved in the Space Pirate ship?

If you're using retroarch, be sure to set poll type behavior to early. I came buckets after doing that.

Not doable without a guide. Look up a map of the game online and let that be your guide.

Wait until you find the first omega, the last save to him is a few mins walk away.

People bitching about the shinespark maze you need to do in AM2R for the super missile tank don't know anything about furious shinespark puzzles.

I'm pretty sure you can continue where you left off and the game will even tell you where all the stuff you missed is.
You can also get back to the old areas from the space pirate ship if you know where to look.

This is the best Samus. Prove me wrong.

>You gotta memorize every single room of the game in order to speedrun it.
It depends on how fast you want to go. If you just want to get sub 2 hours for the best endings, that's easy.

how do you run out of missiles? i have literally never ran out i mean never not once how do you even manage that? did you get ANY extra pickups?

Someone recommended me snes9x so that' what i'm using.
Don't know if it has that option.

>those shinesparks in Ridley

hahahaha no way are you doing that without a guide

You have a save station nearby, go refill and kill it.

Nah, but it's kinda weird that you get that.

Try playing on hard. The alpha metroids simply have too much HP and also are too good at deflecting missiles.

i found the omega much easier than the first time i met a zeta

Metroid 1 and 2 can fuck off.

Omegas don't block your shots and they have the super secret extra weakpoint.

I'm using xinput with a dualshock 3 maybe it's that
It's more tedious than anything and if you don't have supermissiles it takes a while, at least that was my experience with them
38 fucking missiles iirc

Pro tip: when someone on Sup Forums defends their love of a game by saying it has "charm" or is "comfy", immediately disregard their opinion.

I experienced that dualshock 3 -with- the usb cable connected does reduce input lag by a slight bit. You using SCP drivers?

oh and serris in am2r is BY FAR the easiest boss he barely damaged me in the fight

get your minority ass out of here, shitstain
yeah, scp drivers
maybe i just need to git gud i don't know but it does trigger me when i have to try three times before managing to succeed
i'm in the abandoned spaceship atm
> that room with spikes and spike platform
>that energy tank in that room filled with water and spikes
JUST
tester took a few tries
so did mother brain after everyone said she was easy i got cocky
also genesis caught me off guard but his pattern is pretty easy to learn.

ya the tester was a pain at first but once you get his pattern he is fun

>Ghost Song
You're right. I agree with you my man. You've pinned the bull right on the mark.

I never understand her undergarment...it looks like a one piece that has a hole in the belly

This game so is good.

Shinespark is really stupid, especially shinespark during morphing ball or re-using the spark after you already used once...even more because you only use these versions a couple of times in the game

and I haven't used wall jump in am2r...I supposed it didn't have it since the super metroid style didn't work

who is tester?
I can never memorize boss names.

bullet hell donut

It's pretty cool that you can space jump around, shoot and keep doing it. It looks kinda dumb though, like those old ass videos of sprite battles.

it works exactly the same way only faster. It's like zero missions.

oh, alright.
Yeah that one was fun.

i like it i always wanted as game that looked like those

NAVEL
A
V
E
L

What about Crystal flash and the shields?

Its obviously a 2 piece though?

But they're all 2D games

4 2D metroids and 3 Prime games

Honestly the 2D games are more thrilling gameplay wise, you feel like a super agile warrior bouncing off walls and your missile fire rate is insane. The 3D games don't have as good of combat as the 2D ones but some of the areas are really cool and they are pretty immersive at times. I still thoroughly enjoy them despite being different.


It's still a goddamn travesty that Metroid has been out for 30 years and only has 4 main games in the series and 3 in a first person spin-off.

Where is the Ice beam? Late to the party here.

metroid is the best

same area as the transport pipes, check around

you are missing a few

>metroid pinball
>metroid hunters
>metroid other m

and metroid and metroid zero mission should be considered two separate games

I figured that. One brings me to an corridor with that stuff that only the Ice beam can penetrate.

I'm stuck at that part. Makes me not want to play anymore.

They were making one (Dread) for DS, but it got cancelled.

check the rooms with the impenetrable obstacles carefully

Got it. Thanks.

They are doable, but you'd need to actually find them first
