Metroid Fusion is one of the most linear Metroid games out there (not to mention it's pretty text-heavy because of the conversations with Samu's computer), never seen a speedrun of that game but it must be pretty hard. Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission are prob way easier to speedrun because thare are a bunch of ways to exploit the game.

You're totally wrong for sm.

I watched a weekly show about speedrunning once on twitch and there's just SO MUCH things to learn that are ETREMELY hard.

For example, there's an exploiut used in sm where the speed booster is only checked each 80 frames. This means that if you just input dash after 80 frames 4 times in a row, you have speed booster activated.

How to be frame perfect?

A guy had to learn using a metronome he would play in his head.

I'm serious, there's so much that can go wrong it's in fact not even uncommon in races to see someone quit because he died.

It's REALLY unforgiving to speedrun.

HOWEVER, sm will ALWAYS be imo one of the mos entertaining game to watch speedruns. Do you know speedrunslive? It's a site when speedrunners do races every day and it has pretty good record system using IRC, but is also used to gather streams of speedcrunners on twitch. On each firday night, the sm community holds a friday nightrace...THIS IS O FREAKING FUN TO WATCH!!!! It's really teasing you if someone's going to die and sometime, you have the feel you see 2 streams playing at the exact same way.....that actually happened last AGDQ.

Wait, there are people that prefer Brawl over Smash 4?

The potential for hacks makes it hard for me to give it up. Unless Isaac and Waluigi make it into a Smash game, atleast.

 

[aldelaro5]

Out of curiosity Aldelaro, how do you prefer to pronounce X-Naut?
Do you say it like "Ecks-Not" or "Cross-Not"?
I call them Ecks-Nots, even though I know that it's pronounced Cross-Not.

it is pronounced cross?

Are you serious?

Cause I ALWAYS pronounced the X.

I mean, what makes you think it is cross?

Cause that's the first time I hear this....

 

[Reiga]

I remember that back in the day I'd watch TAS speedruns of extremelly difficult Mario World hacks, sure they were Tool Assisted, but it's really crazy to watch with all the item juggling and wall jumping (yes, there is an exploit that makes Mario basically wall-jump).

There;s even an exploit of someone programming pong with its controller.

I actually admire tas. First, it really shows the theorical limit of the computers and second, just shows how human is far from getting it frame perfect

Actually, most of my findings on spm will help tas too and I know a guy has planned to work on it, but might get easier withh my findings

hope you would enjoy it one day....a tas takes months of work.

 

[Strofirko]

I know it's kinda late,but my dong expanded,as the same way I got a leisure...

 

[Coricus]

*ignores hacking discussion because I'm still salty about getting a Master Ball Lv 100 Blissey in Diamond*
So.

If Barnabas Z is what I think it is, I'm ludicrously underwhelmed.
Tried the match a while ago, but goofed up during creepy cyborg Luage's match.
Note to self: it takes at least two Elixirs, not just one.

(I'm playing FFIV DS if you can't tell)

 

[MSmariosonic]

Found some nice things on the world wide web...

 

[Bedoop]

Update on the conundrum;

• Mom went to a US Site (Not a Canadian one) and the order got doubled in money, so that's been resolved and we aren't wasting over 600 dollars.
• I am getting Mario Kart 8 at the end of the day (Approx. 4PM). Hype. :D
  
• I am going to school very shortly. :\

 

[Knight Dude]

There's a new story mode trailer for Mortal Kombat X. We get to see some of the new characters. Most of them seem to be the humans in the Special Forces, Like Kenshi's son and Jax's daughter, not sure who the others are. We do get to see Mileena though. Not entirely sure, but I think Sindel and Shinnok are possibly playable too.

Not sure if he's in the game, but I'd like to have Cyrax come back.

 

[Pazzo.]

There are better manga and anime than DBZ. Just saying.

Let me translate:

Go watch FMA Brotherhood.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

I don't care what anyone says, the best anime is Hayate no Gotoku.

 

[Coricus]

Meh, I have awful taste in anime. Actually enjoyed skimming SAO and Fairy Tail.

Squid Girl's still way better, though.

 

[Substitution]

Personally the best anime is Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Well actually, I'm not sure at this point.
I'm not even sure the game itself knows.
Cuz' some things say that it's "Ecks"(Goombella using the word "An" before saying X-naut, and Koops' "Extreme Tissues" Line, etc.)
And others say "Cross" (Goombella's tattle on X-Yuxes, as well as the X-Nauts's french name, Cruxitroufio, etc.)
The main reason that I think it's "Cross" (Even though I say "Ecks") is because of TEC's full name

Spoiler

TEC-XX
If the X in X-Nauts is pronounced "Cross", then TEC's full name would be TEC Double Cross.
And I think that that's some cool foreshadowing.

Don't trsut French name or I'll bleed from my eyes....DON'T EVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!

But, an is actually quite telling. There's tags for <a> and <an> in the text system.

But TEC.....not that much convincing alone honestly.....

 

[Blazing Ambition]

Samurai Jack is the true anime

 

[Rysir]

The Xenoverse is now mine! Now for it to install!

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Bakugan

:000000000 Awesome

 

[Kenith]

Samurai Jack was actually pretty damn cool.
Shame it's not that popular.

 

[Coricus]

I see you down there, @ Rysir .

Just as the aura sees all, so those who know the signs can see the true warriors of aura.

Also you left your chocolate on the Social Thread's couch.

DARNIT GRENINJA'D!

 

[Substitution]

Actually, it's his "fort". And he still owes us rent.

Yeah, I know.
Like I said, I still pronounce it "Ecks" But still, it's fun to look into these things.

Actually, it's his "fort". And he still owes us rent.

Rysir get out of there!
...
He's not coming out MisterVideoGaming.
What's the plan?

Simple. We burn move the couch.

 

[FalKoopa]

Squid Girl's still way better, though.

Sir, I can confirm you have great taste.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I watched Dragon Ball (and Z) as a kid, but nowadays all I see is Micheal Bay the Anime.

Of course, I have questionable tastes in anime, if some of the reactions here are of any indication.

 

[Coricus]

Thanks, FalKoopa.
I have a soft spot for mindless action humor cartoons, but my ABSOLUTE favorites as far as anime goes are Squid Girl closely followed by fellow invasion comedy slice-of-life Sgt. Frog.

Too bad they took Sgt. Frog off of Netflix. . .

 

[BluePikmin11]

Bakugan died relatively quickly.
Did something horrible happen to it?

 

[Blargg888]

Simple. We burn move the couch.

Okay.
I've got the Flamethro-
UH. I MEAN. The Flammenwerfer.

He'll never suspect a thing.

 

[Knight Dude]

I wouldn't say popularity is the issue. But it would be nice if the guys behind the series finally got to make that movie that was supposed to finish the story.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Why would you want to?
Come on, tell us what Da Best Zotz are!

Pink Zotz?
Purple Zotz?
Orange Zotz?
Yellow Zotz?
Red Zotz?
or Green Zotz?

omg what are those. I want them

Mother****ing Haagen-Dazs Mochi Ice

I need this right now and I will do anything

Squid Girl's still way better, though.

Doesn't seem like your taste is that bad from the looks of it

 

[Cazdon]

I'm back puny thread! Bwahahahahahahah. someone please talk to me

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I'm back puny thread! Bwahahahahahahah. someone please talk to me

hello, friendly neighborhood shark

It didn't catch up in Japan, unlike the West. Considering animes are primarily marketed towards the home audience, that's bad for business.

I remember watching Bakugan. those tows are actually pretty cool

 

[Substitution]

Oh Zotz? I remember having those. They're not that bad.

 

[Cazdon]

Japanese candy in general isn't too bad, it's quite tasty in some cases.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

@ Rysir you up for a couple of matches?
On the topic of anime/manga (I prefer the latter, cause I like to read) If I had to pick my favorite manga of all time

• Rave Master
• Hunter X Hunter
• Katekyo Hitman Reborn
• Yu Yu Hakusho
• Naruto
• Full Metal Alchemist

Psyren and Kill la Kill are pretty good as well
Tons of Shonen manga, but my tastes in anime are different

 

[Frostwraith]

I have returned to the Social thread. How are you puny mortals doing?

Best anime is FMA Brotherhood. No other I've watched can match the awesome that anime was. Alternatively, there's the FMA manga which Brotherhood directly adapts from (unlike the first FMA anime).

Death Note is a close second, though.
