I'll explain: TAS translates to Tool Assisted Speedrun. The person playing the game did it on an emulator, allowing him to play the game on a frame by frame basis. He basically is allowed to control what happens every 1 60th of a second, because 60 frames make up a second of game time. This allows him to basically perform a "perfect run". This is how a gameplay would look if human error were not a factor. He is allowed to use such things as save states and luck manipulation. So, yes the player is technically human, but he controls essentially everything that occurs in the game and how he is affected at any point and time.
Most likely more than that, because there are re-records for this. He isn't necessarily playing at 1 minute per second, rather he plays for series of inputs at a time, and if he thinks or knows he didn't do it the most optimal, he uses that frame viewer in the emulator with save states to rewind back to where his optimal movement ended, and tries again.
*You start a new save file and Samus gets off the ship* Voice: Major damage has been done to all sectors. Evacuate immediately. *You try to re-enter the ship and THIS Samus just appears*
KSG Clive To be fair this is a TAS which means that the person making it has to go through the motions frame by frame and edit it together in an emulator, so it’s more like 80+ hours.
I believe this run is canon for every canon game... except Other M, because Team Ninja forgot that Samus is a godlike badass bounty hunter. Shame, really.
Even though this is tool-assisted and not humanly possible, I just like to assume this how Samus would be in real life, everything just instantly destroyed as she runs through like it's fucking nothing. Who needs a nuke? Just send in Samus.
Well in the manual of the first Metroid on NES it does say that Samus was chosen because she had done missions that had been deemed impossible for anyone else to complete.
Samus is augmented by Chozo's genes, which already makes her more than human. Her suit also gives a great deal of power. So in real life Samus is plausiable to be real killing machine.
I love how Samus messed around. Samus was shooting the area for fun until metal ridley appeared, then began shooting the wall. Then after the boss died, she shot the wall until she noticed energy. She grabbed it and began shooting the door. She then went to check the flashing red eye.
Why do people hate on TAS runs so much? They're just as hard if not harder than an actual speedrun, requiring tons of practice and knowledge of the inner workings of the game, RNG manipulation, and a metric fuckton of time. Yes, they did it frame by frame, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier.
Bubbline they are NOT hard, they're just like writing a very very long MLA ruled paper: time consuming. The guy deserves credit he spent on it but it's not an enjoyable watch.
Harder? I don't know, I mean an actual speedrunner has to play the entire game in one sitting and needs to memorize when and where to do everything, and risks ruining a run when executing tricks that are subject to RNG and human error. A TAS, conversely, has none of these issues. The person manning the TAS can play the game frame-by-frame, allowing them to optimally time every possible input so as to execute maneuvers not possible by human players and manipulate RNG in ways an actual speedrunner cannot. While they are insanely time-consuming, they are quite possibly the easiest way to play a game. It's like physical versus digital art. One is fragile and subject to being ruined by mistakes, while the other has line tools, undo/redo commands, copy/paste, et cetera.
MasterShadic2 Childhood memories, blah, blah, parents were killed by Ridley, blah, blah raised by the chozo, blah, blah, Samus is the chosen one... You know if you think about it, this plot is basically a cliche.
Basically every Metroid game is one of the best games to release on their respective console, and in the cases of Super Metroid, Metroid Prime (AND Metroid Dread imo) some of the best games of all time. Fuck Other M and Federation Force though, we don’t talk about those 2 unless only to say not to talk about those 2. Kinda like rule 1 of Fight Club where you have to talk about it’s existence to tell everyone not to talk about it.
She wasn't afraid, she was suprised. Caught off guard. Even from the player's position, you enter Ridley's room, only to find nothing. You expected a fight, but didn't get one, so you let your guard down, thinking it was safe. You come back, find the door locked, and here's the kicker - Ridley only swoops at you when you turn around. You could stand there for an hour and he wouldn't attack until you turn around, enhancing the feeling of suprise.
Question: Why did Ridley willingly come to Zebes if his death would allow Samus to kill Mother Brain? Unless she didn't tell him she used his life as a god damn lock and key to her chamber.
roland rodriguez a TAS means they actually attempted this 100s of times, and just connected all of the successful attempts together. They either used slowing down the game at some points, reloading after a fail, or whatever. Which is why it says TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun.)
***** Sure, it could've taken weeks to do it. Doesn't change anything. It's like filming a movie. So many takes to get the one perfect shot. It doesn't make the people perfect actors. Its just practice and infinite tries. Doesn't make it any less impressive though.
I just realized something interesting. In the space pirate ship, those green ball things and cylindrical robots are also in the wrecked ship from super metroid. Maybe the one in super metroid was also a space pirate ship before it crashed.
Andrew Thomas Word Of God says no. Apparently the Wrecked Ship and the Pirate Ship are different ships, with WS crashing before the Chozo or something, it's on the Wiki
Cortez Lee As much as you'd think, Samus canonically fails to get 100% in this one because she doesn't learn to Shinespark or wall jump until Super Metroid when the animals teach her
omg..I beat the game But when we had visitors SOME KID IT WAS A SHE , SHE FREAKIN OMGG...MESSED U P EVERYTHING AND ERES ED DELETED GOD DAMN...btw this happened when I was like 8 or..idk
Sonic: "Do you have any hedgehog in you?" Samus: "Um, no, my ancestry is entirely human... why do you ask?" Sonic: "Would you... _like_ to have any hedgehog in you? 😃" Samus:
Just bought this game a few days ago based on a "Top 25 GBA Games" chart. Loving it so far, the difficulty and the simplicity of the game play is just outstanding. Possibly one of my all time favorite GBA games.
Wow! Great skills on display. When you can't go back and relive your first play-through; a speedrun is the next best thing. Thank you for reminding me why Super Metroid will forever remain in my top 5, and Samus is still the greatest heroine since Ellen Ripley . . .
If you look at it another way this is a wholesome story of how a overly caffeinated woman escapes from her underground maze to collect things on her shopping list while fighting her arch enemies like Belly button lizard, the Pterodactyl of insanity, and the snooping brain.
+Yotatouch I'm simply stating what's in the description. When something is tool assisted, the user can do what normally one cannot, thus appearing to be more advanced. You're on this trip like the user is superman or something. Tool assisting can lower the rate of fire necessary to run through enemies as well as provide heightened speed and damage control. It's like slicing through butter with a hot knife. I'm not shitting on the video. I understand the use of enhancements to help the user clear the game at 100% in a relatively short amount of time. It's all good.
We obviously don't know each other, and i'm sorry if my laugh sounded impolite. It's just the tone you wrote it that surprised me. Since i know what is a tool assisted and watch a lot of tool assisted videos, it's so obvious that even if he uses a TAS, the performance is still very very impressive, i just feel this way. It doesn't really matter how much fast he finishes the game, we just see a lot of interesting and funny things. That's why i think it's really impressive and amazing, even if it's with a TAS ;) Just my point of vue.
It's not really a computer playing the game. You just use tools in order to simulate a perfect human player. One of these tools is called Frame Advance, this lets you record an input for every frame (60 frames/second for this game) in the run. Because of this it takes months to finish a good run. The other main tool is Save State, which is needed to try different possibilities, fix errors etc. In the end you got an input movie file with the input needed for beating the game.

Edson Gamer he/she didn't even get the varia suit at all and then ended up with it at the change. As you can see in about 18 minutes of watching (I believe) he/she goes for it... But then leaves it for an energy tank
Is 51:40 a glitch?, How do you stop and hold/ jump use the speed boost, how do you float down slowly, anyone else not get the charge beam in their play through?
I hope you all realize that this is not actual live gameplay. The person who made this video used tools to get timing and precision down, such as frame stopping. Please do your research on what a TAS is. Thank you.
Well, I was directing this at the load of comments saying how "this guy" is amazing at the game. Maybe you can try to not be condescending, think about what is being said, and pay attention to the gist of the other comments before wrongly criticizing mine.
I'm amazed at how much of Super Metroid (certain music remixes, the appearance of Crateria) and Metroid Prime (also certain music remixes etc.) made it into Zero Mission
Looks like this was prior to the discovery of the Ball Spark to get from the entrance from Norfair to the Crateria elevator and back, despite it being in the opening demo.
SnowFaceChamcham it's personagem playing with an emulator with a lot of tools, like slow motion, save states etc. This is why it's called a TAS speed run.
When Samus loses her suit and needs to scape from all pirates, I felt that as a hunting movie, or a horror movie running from the killer. It's a hug amount of suspense. Hahaha.. Great video!
A rerecord is any time the TASer reloads a save state. Depending on the runner, this could be anything from going back to move the RNG a little bit, being off by one or two frames for a trick, or just realizing they could shave off a frame or two by doing something slightly differently. They're not starting from zero when they do this.
+Marcos Alexandre TAS, (tool assisted speedrun) uses some glitch like hacks, so its gonna be WAY easier. its pretty much hacking. so its not 100% legitimate, for me, TAS is cheating.
+Marcos Alexandre Sorry but what he said isn't really true, to be more exact Tool Assisted Speedrun uses a program to script all the player inputs so the person who made this had to actually kind of play the game to create this "perfect" run. It's a category of speedrunning so it's legitimate but in most cases not humanly possible.

so he did this speed run in reality for 60 hours?

He isn't necessarily playing at 1 minute per second, rather he plays for series of inputs at a time, and if he thinks or knows he didn't do it the most optimal, he uses that frame viewer in the emulator with save states to rewind back to where his optimal movement ended, and tries again.

1:05:30 That's the palette I main for Zero Suit Samus in Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U.
it has been that way for a while... I think from prime onwards
oh my favorite game.. too epic music !!!
Is 51:40 a glitch?, How do you stop and hold/ jump use the speed boost, how do you float down slowly, anyone else not get the charge beam in their play through?
Johnny Stephenson its called shine spark holding
24:42 Rekted!
at 4:22 how did he get up there? bout to pull my hair out, please help thanks...
I hope you all realize that this is not actual live gameplay. The person who made this video used tools to get timing and precision down, such as frame stopping. Please do your research on what a TAS is. Thank you.
Oh, really? I just thought he naturally was able to make a perfect run without a single error, and go from morph ball to running instantly. *Sarcasm*
Well, I was directing this at the load of comments saying how "this guy" is amazing at the game. Maybe you can try to not be condescending, think about what is being said, and pay attention to the gist of the other comments before wrongly criticizing mine.
Will Smish His name is Derp Lord.
Buttered Funnybiscuit Lol!
I genuinely think that this is the most impressive speed run I've seen so far.
52:40 okay then
This is absolutely incredible. I'm exhausted and have training all day tomorrow for work and I cannot pull myself away.
This game is a joke to this guy. O_o
It's just a TAS, in fact, it's a pretty sub-par TAS.
Oh the sequence breaking you can really do in a TAS
flare10101 link me to a better one
I was about to say, I remember this game being a fair amount harder than he is making it look. Either that, or I suck at Metroid.
Its a hard game. I found fusion harder tbh
Adam Bryan I don't think you understand what a TAS is lol
I'm amazed at how much of Super Metroid (certain music remixes, the appearance of Crateria) and Metroid Prime (also certain music remixes etc.) made it into Zero Mission
I wish I could play as good as this
Looks like this was prior to the discovery of the Ball Spark to get from the entrance from Norfair to the Crateria elevator and back, despite it being in the opening demo.
24:37Shit was wrecked
Samus was raised by a bunch of space birds
Ridley killed in 5 seconds.
Somebody should make this without TAS
51:36 how to do that? I played so many Metroid games but still I don't get it.
Great game :) along with fusion
Lets all take a moment to realize the badassery of this speedrun and samus herself.
and here I am lost. No clue to where to go in this game
me also
+zazke girotron Its actually really easy, dont follow what this guy does though, watch someone who is doing a walkthrough
The WastedPillow yaaa, this game is really tricky i have been using the bomb "glitch" and finally managed to finish the game, but thanks anyway :D
You're kidding right?
This reminds me so much of being a kid. I miss staying up late playing this on my old SP.. Those were the days..
.......... makes me re-evaluate my own skill at the game...
I know right? My best was an 1 hour and 16 minutes, and it was only a 50% run....
some items looks impossible to get, I will not make that ball shining spark in a million years.
NovaPrime1869 you guys know that this is a programed robot playing the game, right?
It's a tool assisted gameplay. It's gameplay played with a emulator with tons of tools, like slow motion, Save States etc
It's not "real" skill...
SnowFaceChamcham it's personagem playing with an emulator with a lot of tools, like slow motion, save states etc. This is why it's called a TAS speed run.
When Samus loses her suit and needs to scape from all pirates, I felt that as a hunting movie, or a horror movie running from the killer. It's a hug amount of suspense. Hahaha.. Great video!
It is written "rerecord count : 59775" so you truly made 59775 tries to achieve this speedrun?!
A rerecord is any time the TASer reloads a save state. Depending on the runner, this could be anything from going back to move the RNG a little bit, being off by one or two frames for a trick, or just realizing they could shave off a frame or two by doing something slightly differently. They're not starting from zero when they do this.
Definitely what Slain087 said but damn...... that’s frustrating to start all over.....
that wall jumps and bombs usage are freaking amazing
what are you.
who do u think would be a good samus in a movie version of metroid? I'm gonna say scarlet jo hansen
Amazing!! Impressionante a velocidade e a agilidade deste jogador.
+Marcos Alexandre it isn't a real player, this is a TAS Video.
ElB0ludo What's a TAS video? 😕
+Marcos Alexandre TAS, (tool assisted speedrun) uses some glitch like hacks, so its gonna be WAY easier.
its pretty much hacking. so its not 100% legitimate, for me, TAS is cheating.
kentaro keren Thank you! 👍😀
+Marcos Alexandre Sorry but what he said isn't really true, to be more exact Tool Assisted Speedrun uses a program to script all the player inputs so the person who made this had to actually kind of play the game to create this "perfect" run. It's a category of speedrunning so it's legitimate but in most cases not humanly possible.
samus at that end screen is like "yo bitch i got it done in less than an hour now give me the money."
