@@zodiac31081 that's because you're playing 1.1 (or 1.5 if you're using community updates) which nerfed the omega metroids due to them being a bit TOO strong, but they kind of over did it.
If only they just made the stomach hitbox slightly larger so you could hit it without jumping. Either that or make the metroid not able to block the missiles... Being attacked sucks but not being able attack it without precision is just not fun.
Nah I prefer the AM2R version more, the Fusion version does nothing but walk back-and-forth and try to swipe you with its claws if you get too close to it.
@@mystyle_jm8997 No, it couldn't be just graphical limitations. All of the bosses in fusion had a multitude of different attacks. The final boss was likely rushed to meet the deadline.
@@thenewguyinred Yah, but it might've been combined with the weird gimmick the Omega Metroid fight had at the time. But anyway, I think Mushroom Head meant that they liked the design in Fusion better.
The only thing I didn't like about this boss is the slash behaving like a ranged weapon. I don't think it makes sense and it makes the game appear less polished.
Don't!. Once you learn the pattern it's not that hard. When it crouches it will either jump forward or breath fire, so you should always go up that little corner in morph ball mode and wait for it to turn around and then you can come down and shoot at it. Shooting at it's back does more dmg but it's more difficult to hit
Devlind While in my third playthrough of the game, I've discovered new ways to deal damage in the bosses and killing them even before using melee counter. I think you should try again :P (I'm not debating on whether or both are better than the other, I'm just telling that you may not have discovered every option in the game)
i honestly think this is the worst designed boss in any video game ive ever played. the first time i faced it, it took over 32 minutes and i took no damage. its not a hard boss, just unbelievably anti-fun and boring. from the massive amount of health to the untrue hit boxes, to the attacks that hit you off screen, this boss will keep me from ever replaying this game again.
it is not anti fun. if you understand his attack pattern. you can easily dodge him and hit him in his back or underbelly pretty easily. You can hit him when he lunges at you. when he is standing still for small moment (especially when is turning around you) and when he is breathing fire. There is many chances to hit him and if you didn't forget about space jump. You can easily move around him by using space jump. Especially when he is going to spit fire and going to jump at the ceiling. It is your incompetency that you didn't able to defeat him not boss is bad and spongy. If you hit him in his back. you can easily kill him with 4 super missiles. Other than that, you can also hide at the cornor of entrance to just wait and hit him when he is going away from you.
@@HerMi.T not working on version 1.5 he is like everywhere and you can't jump him over, this boss is really hard. but it's like the final boss is much easier "super metroid" h have a easy end boss that one you can do in the sleep
@@tde04014 i don't get the meaning of all over but about you can't jump over him. it is the part of challenge of this boss. you can actually easily jump over it but you have to use your space jump correctly. omega always move by jumping. You can always use space jump to present at highest point of arena and cross it when it is going to jump. It is difficult but it is the part of challenge. You just had to bew careful. this boss isn't as difficult as some other bosses. Other than that you can cheese him by using that small opening at entrance.
Jbob9954 you must've been doing something wrong, 32 minutes?! took me 2minutes at most on my first ever run. Sounds like skill issue. Also taking no damage isnt impressive.
Theyre not that hard but it also depends of the version of the game youre playing, as they nerfed them in the newer ones. The video was made with the 1.0 ver
These fights are brutal
These variants are much tougher than their Game Boy counterparts.
I thought the Omega was easier than the Zeta

It's the issue I had with Zetas, they tank 5+ supers AND can randomly slash your missiles out of the air.
The hitboxes are so small it makes me rage !
You mean hurtboxes
@@Lilhajxjk274 no proper word is hitboxes
@@abeahmed2581 No. Hitbox would be the area that does damage. Hurtbox is the area that can receive damage
@@Lilhajxjk274 No, your kind of "hitbox" isn't a thing, a actual hitbox is a area that you can hit
@@courier_06 No, a hit box is the area that gives the hit. The hurtbox is te area that receives the hit
Gosh, you waste so much Super Missile ammo!
...reminds me of me playing...
It's ok because theres plenty ! maybe too much
Leonel Diaz It's never too much for me! Heck, it's never enough!
I liked the badass one from fusion better.

Maybe because of limited Graphics from Game Boy Advance right?

I think (due to the badass part) they just meant to visuals, in which case yeah I agree, this one looks like it has scoliosis.

this fight is making me want to give up on this game
Don't!.

+Leonel Diaz it's easier said than done,good thing i picked up all health boosts
I have observed this pattern as well. The main issue now is pulling it off!
When it crouches to breathe fire, you have enough time to get behind him if you're in a corner.
+TwilightWolf032 don't forget that the game is different from what shows here
i have GOT to get the full version.
I think Omega Metroids are easier to defeat than Zeta Metroid
nice
This is amazingly similar to the Samus Returns one, just lacking the full time profesional touch, but that's an unfair comparison.
Liked this fight better. It takes more skill to hit the targets than wait for it to stop attacking, but both are good.

Still a lot of waiting.
Devlind I'm literally saying that there's almost no waiting if you know how to...
Still to much waiting.
The most boring creature in the game. Hit and hide.. hit and hide.. bah.
