I remember spending a good while just trying to do the stair skip trick. Never managed it.

That's a fair enough policy. Thanks for clarifying.

Well I wasn't specifically referring to Metroid Prime but more the series as a whole. Super Metroid is actually my speciality along with Fusion and the original game.

If we are moderators of a game, are we expected to post runs we did ourselves or is it enough to know the games well without actually being runners?

I ask because we are on the subject of Metroid and I know most of the games inside out including glitches and tricks but I don't yet have the competence to actually do a decent run. So I'm basically asking if I can also be a moderator for the Metroid series despite there being little chance of me ever doing a run. And we can definitely moderate multiple games right? Since I was recently given the honour of moderating the classic Golden Axe series and I don't want to over step my boundaries if it's not allowed.

I think it might be. I was attempting a knife run the other day and I thought to try it and it certainly seemed a little quicker. I should really test it properly of course.

Welcome. I love Super Mario 64. I did a Lets Play of it for my Youtube channel. Not a speedrun though. Not good enough for that.

Never heard this version before. Pretty good.

Welcome. I keep trying to run stuff myself but usually fail horribly :p

Hope you can do better.

If it's the same method as getting the varia suit early then I know.

You have to stand inside an open door and jump just as it's closing. When I do it I hit left and right mid jump. Not sure if that does anything but I feel like it helps get me stuck in the door better. Otherwise the door pushes me a bit in one direction. Once you're stuck then you keep tapping down and up and it just push you upwards.

Word of advice, periodically only push the up direction instead of down otherwise the screen scrolling messes up and you can be stuck. Once the screen stops moving then go back to pushing down and up quickly.

Simple question. Is picking up the wave beam required for 100%? I ask because it gets replaced by the ice beam anyway right?

Nice to meet you. I'm trying to get into it myself but it takes so much practise.

I love giant robuts too and I am from the south. But of England not USA.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy the site.

Correct. It is not. I can tell you that from playing Super Metroid on both consoles.

Question is, do we need to mention that it's VC or can we just go with Wii-u?

I'm learning Metroid on it, so I'm interested to learn about any rules regarding it's use.

Perhaps it could be named new game+? Because when you beat the game under two hours and start a new game then you have no suit but keep all the power ups which you picked up in the previous run.

I don't object. The more the better. Can I suggest one more? Can we have categories for suitless Samus runs? Probably just need any% and 100% for that one to stop it getting too cluttered.

Great. Go for it. That game is fantastic.

Nice to meet you. I've been playing that game with some friends recently so it's awesome to see someone speed running it. Are you planning on doing expert mode and realism too? I look forward to seeing the strats used for those.

I got an upgrade.

Well maybe not "see" but you can certainly check out our videos.

Anyway welcome and enjoy.

That's damn good man. I was playing on PS4 as Jill a minute ago and kept ruining my runs by making idiotic mistakes. Got all the way to Plant 42 before realising that I forgot to pick up the incendiary rounds.
