I was playing a casual negative% run this weekend and found the early orange TP and was really disappointed to see it was blocked by ice missiles. I also really hope that sequence break becomes possible because I think it could enable some really crazy skips - I haven’t looked beyond that room but you could get to late ghavoran without speed booster which was absolutely not intended
The ice beam in Metroid Fusion was similar; if you used cheats to give yourself the ice beam, it actually did function like a beam upgrade with scaled up damage against all enemies. Pretty neat, considering they didn’t need to program that
The cool thing is seeing the game still work when “broken”. It’s as if it’s anticipated with things such as the canon destroying the fire reefs and yet it makes the game more interesting rather than ruin it. This game is special.
I'm wondering if they're just programmed to be destroyed by things above some sort of threshold. I remember some endgame ability also destroying them, but I can't remember if it was Screw Attack, or Power Bombs
Using save editing you can give yourself beams without giving yourself the ones before it, however there is no unique beam stacking just like Fusion or Samus Returns because you're not supposed to be able to get one without the ones before. So basically, the Plasma Beam has the Wide Beam function built in and replaces it, and the Wave Beam has the Wide and Plasma Beam functions.
@@Swordsmage: disappointing, but not surprising. Shame though, it could have been neat if they'd included the classic unstacked wave beam, even if only as nearly impossible to get easteregg.
@@Swordsmage so it's like Fusion where you can't get certain power ups off order because the game forces you to collect them in a certain order (core X) Since Fusion is mostly linear gameplay with scripted scenarios, it expects you to have xy amounts of powers at certain parts of the game in order to progress
Alright so you aim toward the central core, I assume this is because you never destroyed the central core dore. My question is, what if you destroy the door and clip out? Does that change anything? What if you go into the room where you're supposed to kill the EMMI, then back into the core room and clip out then? Cause during the EMMI fight you can aim in either direction.
Destroying the Central Unit Door, then clipping out seals all exits and begins the destroy EMMI sequence like normal (but you are in the wrong room). You need to clip out without destroying the door so that the exits remain open.
this sounds so interesting and if it could be done sooner the amount of shenanigans not just in a speedrun would be incredible. though i wonder, since it works like a ice beam what other beam/missile properties do omega laser and blast get maybe just skip all the beam upgrades with it?
Another few things of note from someone who just got this after hours and hours of trying and has been dicking around with it 1) The Omega Blaster shot can destroy missile doors and activate Storm Missile Block targets. Haven't tested if it destroys super missile doors though. 2) (EDIT: read the end of this point) I have no idea what causes you to get it so using the Omega doesn't put you at that slanted view as shown here. Whenever I used it it puts me in the slanted view when I was in Ghavoran or Ferenia. Then suddenly I take the elevator to Dairon and the slanted view is go-WAIT NVM I GOT IT. It must have to do with if an EMMI is alive in that area. Duh lmao 3) If you leave Ghavoran and come back then that obnoxious red light and alarm noise you had to sit through for hours learning shine sink clip comes back no matter what room in the area you're in :/ 4) If you have the regular 2D camera view and you start the omega stream from a running start, thats the only way to get the arm cannon flaps to open (and it doesn't always work... It's a little finicky), and they get stuck that way until you arm a super missile shot, shoot the regular beam or charge the omega blaster. 5) Omega stream and blaster can reveal what kind of block a hidden block is (ie bomb, speedboost or power bomb block). This along with point 1) suggests that Omega has missile properties
Could a ball warp be used to steal the 1st emmi cannon? I don't know if it persists through cutscenes, but I know it'll last through emmi doors, and because you need morph ball in order to get to the teleporter anyways, so if it works that'd be sick
On the subject of skip/glitches,, There's a demo of this game that let's you play up to just after you get the magnet-power, but l was wondering what would happen if you (could) glitch your way past that specific trigger. If you do, could you play the entire game as long as you don't go there? l'm looking for the same kinda effect as the brawl-oot demo,, since l do think the entire game gets downloaded for the demo
I did Phantom Cloak early in the demo, and it resulted in odd audio glitches and then a crash. I’m not sure if that’s what everyone has experienced from doing this, but it seems like there’s some sort of parameter set to prevent the whole game from being playable.
@@seffersonn8559 If I had to guess, the reason the demo crashes is because it tries to play the FMV for the phantom cloak tutorial even though it wasn't included in the demo's data, and this causes the game to run into an unhandled exception.
Obviously not for Speedrun reasons, but I'm wondering what would happen if you used some clip at the end of the game. Could you use the hyper beam outside of the finale somehow? Would saving and resetting keep the hyper beam or deactivate the final timer?
Another question is if the Omega Steam has the same properties as the Hyper Beam, has the Hyper Beam can also break EMMI faceshields. Would that also mean that you could destroy the wall near the end of the escape sequence, allowing you to skip Raven Beak entirely by doing the escape glitch?
Has anyone tested the omega stream on the Hyper beam door? Considering hyper beam breaks an EMMI heatshield, it would make sense that the omega stream could break a hyper beam door....
Doesn't the first cannon soft lock you if you skim the emmi? (also it doesn't have stream, though that isn't horribly problematic for the skip you would want it for)
It’s really just as easy as looking for it and banging your head against a wall, then curiosity after. It just starts by someone saying “Let’s see what happens if I try to do as many things as I can at once.” Then try it a bunch of times in different orders. “Oh I clipped through the floor. Cool.” “Where is this useful? Oh maybe we can smuggle the Omega Cannon out.” “Now that I have the Omega Cannon out… I wonder how it reacts with x, y, and z?”
They haven't patched any sequence breaking glitches yet (they've only fixed softlocks and similar errors that may result from the glitches), so I don't expect them to make this impossible either.
I hated that sun, Raven Beak covers the ground pretty well with the attacks he uses during the sun’s presence, and the sun covers way too much of the sky.
I'm surprised that you regain the Omega when your return to Ghavoran, but that's really interesting. great video! also regarding how good Omega Stream is. it does 100 per laser regardless of enemy just to confirm. here is my currently fastest recording of Raven Beak with Omega Cannon. czcams.com/video/J4p0JA5fT7A/video.html which is about 20 seconds faster than my current fastest recording of the Raven beak fight done with Ice Missiles. (timed from elevator to phase 3 ending cutscene) czcams.com/video/Kuw7st5T5No/video.html
Holy Crap... If you freeze frame the Raven Beak fight at certain spots, RB looks like Ridley (e.g., the cannon looks like Ridley's head is facing left at 4:06 and 4:09).

neat, i hope that ghavoran sequence break becomes possible. Stealing the cannon is really cool
That would be so cool. I'm loving all the glitch hunting going on. What a cool community

Stoked that guys like you and ZFG are playing this game too
Didn't know y'all were Metroid fans too :D
I'm surprised that the Omega Cannon even does damage to regular enemies.

The developers have stated that they anticipated sequence breaking and even left in some that they found
The sequence break I want to see most is somehow getting wave beam before plasma and seeing what that would do.
If it were possible skipping wide beam might also be pretty interesting to see if it changes later beams.
@@EmeralBookwise
That one actually seems more feasible since it’s not tied to an important story moment.

Metroid content let’s gooooo
Real talk tho this is sick
OmegaLul cannon
Peak Comedy 🙂
Ohhhh that’s so cool!!! Turning the omega cannon into an actual upgrade, and the fact that it has real uses!
I wonder if the different omega cannons have different damage values 🤔
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
this sounds so interesting and if it could be done sooner the amount of shenanigans not just in a speedrun would be incredible. though i wonder, since it works like a ice beam what other beam/missile properties do omega laser and blast get maybe just skip all the beam upgrades with it?
zfg metroid CONTENT Pog
Great research!!! Really good info for the community.
Is there a website anywhere that lists all your weapon damage values and enemy/boss HP?
there's probably a Dread speedrunning discord that has that info
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SJP_AiELopi4DnfQbuKuDSkjHt-yapl8BwMeWylXUnQ/edit#gid=1821218710
Haven't seen a video like this since Dampe explained
my favorite metroid speedrunner w the content
I was wondering,wouldn't it be able to do something akin to the aeon ability from samus returns? Mixing missiles with the omega cannon for more dps?
Another few things of note from someone who just got this after hours and hours of trying and has been dicking around with it

Is there a discord where these glitches are researched and shared? I’d love to join that if so
Wait what is the source on beam damage numbers? I'd like to see the damage missiles and other things do too

Well idk if there’s a skip in place, more likely would be some hose hacking the game to skip it and seeing what happens
I did Phantom Cloak early in the demo, and it resulted in odd audio glitches and then a crash. I’m not sure if that’s what everyone has experienced from doing this, but it seems like there’s some sort of parameter set to prevent the whole game from being playable.
If you clip to the phantom cloak boss, you can fight him and then the game crashes.

1:12 I think you can also fire normal beams in aiming mode by hanging from a ledge.
Obviously not for Speedrun reasons, but I'm wondering what would happen if you used some clip at the end of the game. Could you use the hyper beam outside of the finale somehow? Would saving and resetting keep the hyper beam or deactivate the final timer?

This is better then dark soul 1 speed run now
Oh trust me, I’m use to the emmi’s going right through me.
Has anyone tested the omega stream on the Hyper beam door? Considering hyper beam breaks an EMMI heatshield, it would make sense that the omega stream could break a hyper beam door....
Omega Stream doesn't damage the hyperbeam door, sadly.
Doesn't the first cannon soft lock you if you skim the emmi? (also it doesn't have stream, though that isn't horribly problematic for the skip you would want it for)
I wonder if the Omega canon have similar properties to the Ice Beam
Neat
Cool video.
I was really hoping for some sick emmi sequence breakage, but seems like that won't happen then :(
who knows whats left to discover
I was surprised we didn’t get to use it against raven beak. I honestly though we’d get to use it against him, but then he’d destroy it or survive it.
What happens when you steal the Omega Canon and get another one?
How do people find these things!?
Speedrunners are a different breed...
It’s really just as easy as looking for it and banging your head against a wall, then curiosity after.
It just starts by someone saying “Let’s see what happens if I try to do as many things as I can at once.” Then try it a bunch of times in different orders. “Oh I clipped through the floor. Cool.”
“Where is this useful? Oh maybe we can smuggle the Omega Cannon out.” “Now that I have the Omega Cannon out… I wonder how it reacts with x, y, and z?”
So there are glitches you can do to break
Sucks it’s not so strong but it’s amazing it works like any other projectile except for specific kill flags.
*Stealing the OMEGALUL CANON*
This game reminds me of the 2014 Strider remake
Can you do one with the hyper beam pls🤪🤪
Weird how your Metroid videos are actually edited with a voice over while you probably have never done that with Ocarina of Time.
hes done it with the dampe explanation
Hey I like these scripted videos keep em coming my man
it's weird hearing you do post-commentary, lol
oh
Did he really just call Samus a HE
I heard it too and that’s what led me to your comment being the first one I saw talking about it. 👏
Were u the one who discovered this glitch?
Nintendo will eventually patch this but this a great video. Awesome video.
They haven't patched any sequence breaking glitches yet (they've only fixed softlocks and similar errors that may result from the glitches), so I don't expect them to make this impossible either.
@@44bigfreeze yeah no patches yet. But this looks difficult to do lol with Metroid dread glitch.
Is it only me or is zfg sounding kinda muffled in this video?
Yes, that was my first though as well. Talking like he was reading a script, may'be
Whuuuuuuut
The biggest take away for me here is that you can destroy the damn sun attack. Boy I wish I woulda figured it out
Yeah, Power Bombs make short work of the suns and black holes.
I hated that sun, Raven Beak covers the ground pretty well with the attacks he uses during the sun’s presence, and the sun covers way too much of the sky.
Hearing a commentary feels so wrong ahahah
Fuck so THATS why you have to use axis skew to get wave without gravity
Lame that the charge shot won't kill it lol
Oh
this new ocarina of time romhack looks weird
I'm surprised that you regain the Omega when your return to Ghavoran, but that's really interesting.
great video!
also regarding how good Omega Stream is.
it does 100 per laser regardless of enemy just to confirm.
here is my currently fastest recording of Raven Beak with Omega Cannon.

Judging by their OOT remakes, they couldn't be arsed.
@@RavemastaJ huh
Holy Crap...
If you freeze frame the Raven Beak fight at certain spots, RB looks like Ridley (e.g., the cannon looks like Ridley's head is facing left at 4:06 and 4:09).
Hello
She not he
Zfg doing a commentary like this sounds a bit wierd. Espacily, becouse he is talking so much more than normal. But I still like it
