It makes sense. The ability to see through walls + the ability to fly = the ability to fly through walls. The answer was right in front of us the whole time.
It's easier to do on the PAL version. It's possible on the NA version, I know because I've gotten stuck in teh door. If I get stuck ,it means It IS possible.
Not really barely, literally all of that execution is still completely unmatchable by human players, it’s pretty much just as witchcrafty as the glitchy stuff, which makes this TAS even more impressive
22:55 and onward the game is just like "I...I'll...Y'know...I'm just gonna start guessing where things are supposed to be and you tell me when to move onto the next room..."
Ya know.. im starting to think we shouldn't let samus accept bounties anymore, the planets keep ending up a jumbled mess of parts that keep teleporting around and defying the laws of physics everytime she leaves
Gotta love how the graphics half of the game engine just completely gives up right around 23:00. My guess for what happens: - The xray scope takes a copy of important rendering state when it activates - The TAS uses some kind of speedboost-related dark magic to move while the xray is active - Rendering state updates apply to the active rendering engine, not the xray scope backup - The xray scope restores old state when deactivated, completely cooking the graphics system.
that was a x-mode superjump, which sends samus flying upward at insane speed, such that she can pass through solid blocks. graphical glitches often occur at such high speed, which can also be seen in casual play (to a much lesser extent) with a moonfall, such as in the climb room. as to what broke the horizontal positions of the plms (items, doorcaps), i don't know for sure but it may have to do with how samus entered the door to kassiuz room (pre-plasma room)
I thought this was fine at first and now im so confused. I thought I'd done everything you could do, reset beam glitch, 100% everything... and then you started falling at light speed and eviscerating shit and i don't even know what im seeing. Samus's beam got so powerful it started warping time and space appearantly.
jpkaffe yeah that's what I figured he is probably using it for a glitch but I was like X-ray scope but no spazer? If you're going to waste time you might as well pick that up on the way too lol
Super Metroid is intriguing me more and more and I know that game already since about 25 years! I wonder, if there are even more undiscovered tricks in this game.
It makes me wonder how incredibly short the run would be if all door transitions and item get cutscenes were removed, or just speed up to be instantaneous
I honestly would love to see a TAS of the current PRKD route to see what the time could be dropped down to. Of course try and get Phantoon to go fast fast lol.
En mi p3rr4 vida había visto que rompieran un juego a tal punto como esto. Había visto otro similar dónde solo ocupan el x-ray vision y así pero esto es otro nivel
They're difficult in their own ways. A TAS is all about figuring the theoretical fastest route using anything available in the game, even if it's humanly impossible. This requires some crazy knowledge of the game, and once you get to actually making the TAS itself, you'll most likely be playing frame by frame for maximum precision, meaning that even a single room can take forever to get perfectly, as human error is still very much a factor when registering the inputs for the run. Beating the WR for the game is all in the actual execution, as the whole route is already laid out for anyone to follow. This execution is by no means easy, but the knowledge factor is massively downplayed here.
In normal gameplay, this game has basically perfect physics (outside a handful of weird areas like Phantoon's ship)... it took something like 15 years (maybe longer?) for people to discover the X-ray glitches and even longer to discover the fast fall strategies that let Samus avoid collision detection. And even then, some of these strategies are not humanly possible.
I hate how technical this game is, because people who don’t know much about it don’t appreciate just how insane TAS’s of it are; even stuff outside of the X-mode shenanigans that are so obvious, it’s all equally as crazy and pretty much none of these rooms are humanly matchable
Is there an epic TAS version of Super Metroid? By epic I mean Samus' cinematic moments and movements as she braves the environments and overcomes obstacles like a boss. This TAS would be very nice!

Just another mini boss that we don't need to fight. Poor mini boss always get lonely. LOL

Halfway through: actual witchcraft

12:37
Samus: *OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY :DDDDD*
🤣😭
6:50 Chozo: "You shall not pa...
Okay back to sleep."
The beginning was ok then I got lost in the matrix
I am quite amazed at how persistent the tile corruption is. Somehow it stays messed up through entire load zones.
25:16 You cannot grasp the true form of Samus' attack!
She just microwaved Dragoon, just really well
she shoots a charged plasma beam then pauses it with the xray beam when the beam is in the enemy, and it microwaves em
@@Sir_Leelord Go play Earthbound.
@@MisterMoray XD
@@Sir_Leelord so, like the pause glitch from MegaMan (or Rockman)
30:00 When you fracture reality... WITH STYLE

Super Metroid: Corruption at its best
This isn't even the fastest TAS, this one follows in-bounds rules, the "out of bounds" TAS is (I think) under 10 minutes and even more ludicrous
@@wateriswet0510 good god
36:04 Hey Samus, don't leave ! You forgot Samus !
Samus: ! ! !
I didn't understand this one until the end.
Holy sht i was 19 when i wrote this comment

Dude just went through Maridia without a gravity suit, what a legend
Not too hard. But like THIS??!?!?!?!
By the 23 minute mark, Samus starts breaking reality.
Thats the indication of a good protag,breaks and bends the reality in a Gordon Freeman style
Oh, I didnt know fragmenting reality was a powerup!
I have so many questions

What are thy questions?
All us humans do

There was doors?

He saved them! ...from a life trapped inside a 1-pixel spacecraft :)
the memescape agree
It is called Any% for a reason
Oatsngoats strongly disagrees
Quick lock the backdoor Samus is coming!
which one of them? they're glitching all over the place!

He’s able to do things that aren’t humanly possible with tools.
Her beam became infused with Roar of Time and Spacial Rend.
Wow, Kraid really does die in 2 seconds.
Got to 8:51 skip 10 seconds forward. Sounds like you didn't skip 10 seconds forward.
Yooooo
Lmao
and the funny thing it's if you go 10 sec backward it sound like you didn't go 10sec backwards
“I do not conform to reality, reality conforms to me.” -Sammy boi
great job, amazing TAS....Michael Jackson would be proud ;)
This is pretty trippy to watch
Dorkalicious if you watch Zoast he's not that far off this level of play lol
why would you pick up the x-ray scope in an any% run? o.O..... nevermind, I just found the reason
jpkaffe could you tell me why?
He's using it to do a glitch :-) you'll see it during the run when he uses it
jpkaffe yeah that's what I figured he is probably using it for a glitch but I was like X-ray scope but no spazer? If you're going to waste time you might as well pick that up on the way too lol
@@SweetJP. yeah, X-ray is broken xD
2:55 Samus Jackson
you know, I thought I'd never be impressed by a TAS anymore, even less by a Super Metroid TAS.
but then you come and you completely destroy my mind
Good lord, you glitched the living friggin' HELL outta this thing.
...
I love it!!
Is the game ok
That doesn’t seem like how a door works
X-ray is so freaking broken. It feels like he's bullying the poor game and taking its lunch money.
Can’t describe how funny it is to me that it only took 1 shot with the hyper beam to kill mother brain
For if you want to know, 22:50 is the moment where the TAS fucks up the graphical part of the game for the remainder of its run.
12:34 get it girl
Super Metroid: oh no we've got a glitcher
I like how Samus always pose like a the Chozo whenever everything freezes
Super Metroid is intriguing me more and more and I know that game already since about 25 years! I wonder, if there are even more undiscovered tricks in this game.
Who would thought that the most useless item in the game is the most OP.
x ray is not useless even in casual playthrough.
@@HerMi.T Once you know where everything is, X-Ray has no purpose, even on casual game play.
@@DarkKyugara yeah but if you are playing casually (or more appropriately first time) you never going to learn where secrets are?

Congrats on the TASbot showcase! It was well-deserved.
Thanks. Hope you enjoyed it!
It makes me wonder how incredibly short the run would be if all door transitions and item get cutscenes were removed, or just speed up to be instantaneous
This is the best Samus ever! I feel like it's the way the developers would pictured her as!
Me: **confused on how he insta-stored a shinespark**
Him: You'll get no explanation from me.
tas speedrunners shattering reality since some time

Less than one energy tank 7 missles 1 super and 3 power bombs entering tourian made me sick to watch. Lol
Impressive. Most impressive.

This is so awesome that also broke the RBO. 😱

6:07 Nice.
15 minutes of weirdness and then God Samus mode activates.
Congratulations, You just broke the game!
The universe: physics.
Sniq: I'll ignore that
What's harder? Pulling off a TAS like this? Or beating Zoast's record? Man, that was a crazy ride!
I'd say beating Zoast is harder, but making a TAS is a looooot longer.

Oh no the X parasites will kill us all D':
Tool assisted speedruns are canonical, since Samus is basically superhuman :D

To snitch to the pirates that Samus is there ;)
The game is so broken in the last 15 minutes, it's crazy. Fun to watch!
that 1 energy at 16:47 wow
wow didnt know that the speed booster could reach star trek's warp factor 10 in speed

I appreciate your effort but this is almost unrecognizable.
Sorry, I was gassy when I wrote this. I mean that I really do like it. These tricks are crazy!
Is there a list of every technique the tas does during this speed run? Like a commentary of what is going on?
