Zebetite Skip
2 years ago
Nebraska, USA

Noob runner here. I've been learning all the tricks and glitches to try and get my any% time down. It seems to me the "glitches" are a lot harder to pull off. Now, maybe I just need more practice... but I still can't nail the kraid quick kill (never get the second missile to connect, but hit the 2 supers and usually finish him the first time he opens his mouth) and the zebetite skip is just... really tricky for me.

It would seem zeb skip is pretty much the biggest time save in the game, right?

I managed a 65/15 missile/super count in one run and finished MB1 with the very last missile. Another run, I pulled off 55/25 with only a few missiles to spare. Going much lower in ammo count pretty much requires zeb skip. Guess I should get to practicing?

if you need help to learn zebbetite skip you can either ask in the SM speedrunning discord for detailed help or watch some tutorial in the SM wikipedia about it https://wiki.supermetroid.run/Main_Page , its not something that will be easy to learn but once you get it and it click it become a lot easier to do again

Make sure that:

  • you don't have screw attack on
  • you freeze the rinka on the exact spot he spawns
  • you do a spin jump into the zebetite then a straight jump across both WHILE having invulnerability frames

for zeb skip, I learnt 2nd zeb skip which is much easier in my opinion (i have to pick up like 25/15/5 ammo right now, but hey it's better than nothing).

for kraid quick kill, i guess don't worry about getting it too much. many people find a charge shot is easier than a missle because it keeps his hand down whilst you shoot the supers. hope this helped !

Like John said, the wiki has a lot of information. Youtube and Twitch VODs have good explanations.

I agree with eden. 2nd zeb skip (remorph zeb skip) is much easier than regular zeb skip and KQK is somewhat technical.

If you're not doing it already, I recommend that you stream your practice. Someone might pop in and be able to help you there.

Welcome to running SM, and good luck with your runs.

This is the youtube video I used to learn. Do it just like this and you'll get it. Took me about 10 or 15 minutes earlier today, then I rerouted to skip items and just now hit a PB with the new route
