      why they want to kill "the animals" ??

    • @BBGunRenegade
      @BBGunRenegade Před 5 lety +120

      During the escape at the end of the game there is a room where a bunch of animals are trapped. During a casual playthrough of the game, you would run into these animals and they teach you how to wall jump and shinespark. If you go to the room the animals are trapped in during the escape you can destroy part of the wall to free them. During the final cutscene a pixel of their ship escaping will appear if you saved them. Saving the animals results in a slower time than letting them die which is where the phrase, "Save the frames, kill the animals" comes from.
      Hopes this answers your question :)

    • @neutraldalek4222
      @neutraldalek4222 Před 4 lety +7

      Runners will typically do controller remaps to fit what they're most comfortable with. Then either they have their their index finger over X and Y while their thumb handles A and B (claw grip) or they position and use their thumb such that they can press/hold B, X, and either A or Y at the same time (fat finger grip).
      So yeah, they don't just have fast fingers. I run the game causally and there are occasional times where you have 3 buttons pressed at once.

    46:27 to be fair you have to have a very high iq to save the animals

    Yes! I've been waiting for this video to go up since I saw the run live. Can't wait to watch the whole thing again

    Well that’s the first run of this game I’ve seen where the runner ACTIVELY killed the animals...

    I saw mother brain miss one of those blue shots and it got me thinking. Could you save the Metroid? Is there a way to kill MB before she does enough damage to the baby metroid. Tas could probably dodge more than one shot and you were like 2 or so dodges away from killing MB prematurely probably.

      if you lower mother brain's health to 0 during the fight, she dies right after you get rainbow beam. You can "save" the metroid, but that involves softlocking the game by putting the metroid out of reach of the onion rings when you are filled up with health

    I've always wondered what speedruns look like from the characters perspective.

      Check "Something about Super Metroid" from Terminal Montage, that's hilarious and depicts a speedrun from Samus' perspective (more or less). It also references a lot of the strats & glitches.

    I am Japanese.
    I know the reason for killing the Animals is to shorten the time. Why go to the Animal's place and pretend to kill it?
    And why is the venue cheering? Can anyone tell me?
    (In Japan's RTA, the Animals are often saved.)

    RBO is the most impressive speed run in gaming.

    Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to go to one of these events. I've watched for quite a few years but I really enjoyed this year especially, and those final donations for kill...nice!

      Not sure how it started, but I think it would be interesting to go through all of the footage and find out how many times ORB was said.

  • @Mackinstyle
    @Mackinstyle Před 5 lety +1

    Can someone tell me in clear terms, what is the practical, functional difference between a reserve tank and an E tank? With auto mode, don't they basically just act the same?
    Or put differently, what's the benefit to having one over the other?
    And I don't mean because of specific glitches or nuances for speedrunning, I mean for normal playthroughs.

    • @Grovesie35
      @Grovesie35 Před 5 lety

      Short answer: not much.
      Flavor answer: I like to think the dev's added reserves to enhance the believability of how high tech Samus' suit is. Just like in any action packed sifi.. When things get ugly the reserves kick in to save the day!
      Real answer: pretty much just those two combined. Kind of a second chance for beginers to try and step back and work their way out if dire straits.
      In advanced game play, such as the randomizer tournament, high level players don't even pick up reserve tanks at times cuz they are almost useless unless they are short on e-tanks and heat runs are inevitable. They come empty and must be filled before they are of use and they don't fill up your energy either. Somthing that e-tanks do and can be a saving grace in runs such as this one, actually making it possible to pull off.
      In the end: reserves are just another fun dynamic in a beautifully well made game. They don't really serve much of a purpose once you know the game and just play casually, yet are another dynamic these guys have exploited in the right situations to, yet again, pull off the unthinkable.

      Reserve Tanks can be popped manually so they're great for sequence breaking in Norfair

    @holschermarc Před 5 lety

    Oh man games like Metroid are so heavy skill based if u wanna speedrun them. Were u have to know patterns and stuff in other games, in Metroidvania&co a lot of stuff depends on if u can do walljump, shine spark and other technics that require a lot of button input at the right moment in the right order. Very impressiv

  • @tomflex85
    @tomflex85 Před 5 lety +3

    Loved the run. Always have. Watched when it was done before (stravereas(sp)). Amazing. BUT I couldn't get over a commentator allowing others to finish their sentence. "Bad dates" choose wisely who you allow to talk.
    Ps... if strav would have been able to talk.... power level over 9000
