Imagine waiting for years, fighting a losing war against an alien invasion, and then some random bounty hunter shows up and saves the planet in less than an hour without even talking to you.
Not only that, she doesn't even get all of the stolen planetary energy, she just humiliates the Emperor Ing so hard the other guardians just throw up their hands and quit.
Constantly improving upon your World Record. I admire the determination. Watching you complete the prime series at such fast paces inspired me to practice speed running myself. And although I’ll never get to your level, you got me into something I love and I couldn’t thank you enough.
Insane run. I picked up Prime a while ago and had fun with it but echoes just is insanely hard to even get in to... Still one of my favourite games to watch. Love the runs and lurking in stream from time to time. Keep it up man :)
Dark Samus must be so confused. they set up all these elaborate things to try to kill Samus and she just ignores all of them, kills a king in 57 seconds, and promptly disregards the physical bounds of reality the entire time speedruns are wild
Emperor Ing: "Okay guys, we have like 20 hours left before this bounty hunter is gonna come through that exact door and we're gonna give her a hell of a hard time. Any ques......what the..... AAUUGHHGHGHGHGH" *Samus emerges from the Emperor Ings Chest in a huge fountain of blood"
GG, mate. Thank you for continually destroying my favorite childhood game. I watched on Twitch, because hearing the commentary makes it all the more enjoyable!
awesome work! I remember Echoes being a challenge for me in a normal playthrough almost 20 years ago. I remember as soon as I beat Dark Samus I was never going to play it again, but seeing this speedrun has got me eager to play it once more
Congrats on this WR! MP2 is my favorite game of all time and even though I don't really speedrun it, I still love watching runs of this game because of how insanely it can be broken (Screw Attack for the win baby). Amazing run, here's to another PB!
Jesus christ, this is the first time I witness that way to getting screw attack. Thats amazing. Long gone are the days of having to go through and use all 4 spinners haha. I really need to try to do that myself! It looks hella hard given the robots that need to be stood on, though.
13:33 GOOD LORD AND SCREW ATTACKING OUT OF BOUNDS? Watching you do that got me to clentch my cheeks since I know how poorly that could go haha! Legitimate wow factors all around in these plays and routing.
Congrats on the new WR! Crazy to see just how broken the SA is on even the final DS fight! What hardware did you use to upscale the video signal so cleanly to 1080p?
In OBS Studio the game is outputting at 720x480, then I upscale it exactly to 1440x1080 and then I crop out the overscan black borders, add brightness settings etc, then once I'm done I take the recording to Sony Vegas Pro, take out Livesplit, chat and whatnot and render it in 1920x1440. (Yes, the video is in 1440p but TH-cam takes a while to make it show up...) EDIT: Unfortunately I later realized that I didn't actually set it to render in 1440p, but 1080p on accident... bummer.
And I use this capture card www.avermedia.com/us/product-detail/C985 with a Mayflash HDMI Wii Adapter. It's definetly not the best way to capture but it's good enough for me.
@@MrMiguel211 Ahhh. I thought you were using a hardware upscaler between the GC/Wii and the capture card (did you use Topaz Video AI to upscale after the 480p source capture?
I use janky speedruns as a sort of meditation. The sequences, phases, etc. I admire your skill, but I'm not that invested in speedrunning as a sport? This is like professional soccer to me. Bravo.
If you told 12yo me that you could start a new game and get to Sanctuary Fortress in less than 10 minutes I wouldn’t have believed you. This was awesome
I'm confused as to what happened at 11:40. It just kinda looks like you teleported. I'm seeing a lot of new stuff in this run compared to the last speedrun of prime 2 I saw, and I'm wondering if this is a new glitch.
@Andy G. Very likely; since in game programming, a usual way of having an object be “carried” is by assigning it to the same transform as the moving object. When the transform is reset, child objects (Samus in this case) get relocated along with it.
Even now watching this again I remember how painful all the loading scenes got. Just when you went 100%. All the constant portal transitions. Can't wait to see this game running on an ssd.
I love metroid so much this is awesome. I know it's a little old but I have to ask, on the elevator you're just pausing and unp-ausing constantly and it doesn't appear to be doing anything? I'm sure it's doing something but what is the purpose of that? I just have to know ha
It's done to delay the load of the big room, pausing a bunch like that does that. It's needed because otherwise there is an invisible wall blocking the way (It's the super missile laser barrier collision, yeah it goes THAT far down for whatever reason. Thx retro studios) so then I get into position past the barrier before the room loads.
This makes KirbyMastah's run look bad. How did you do grand abyss first try and get screw attack without the cutscene. Skipping quadraxis from a different direction and barely living. And also defeating chikka adult by just running in the middle. Explain.
@@TheBanishedWindWhen you use the cannon in fortress and it fires you out of bounds the game kinda forgets that you arent in the cannon anymore. And the cannon state just happens to deal a shit load of dmg to some enemies (including chykka adult)

why do most speed runs go to san fortress
Because the other route doesn't work
The music
Imagine waiting for years, fighting a losing war against an alien invasion, and then some random bounty hunter shows up and saves the planet in less than an hour without even talking to you.
This is cannon.
@@AF-nb1ry Arm cannon
Not only that, she doesn't even get all of the stolen planetary energy, she just humiliates the Emperor Ing so hard the other guardians just throw up their hands and quit.
It's the same when you try to build a house without an architect
I love that this run exposes the Energy Module does absolutely nothing, and Samus can just inherently carry a planet's energy completely unassisted.
Constantly improving upon your World Record. I admire the determination. Watching you complete the prime series at such fast paces inspired me to practice speed running myself. And although I’ll never get to your level, you got me into something I love and I couldn’t thank you enough.
I'm glad to be someone else's inspiration! Best of luck in your journey.
what is a roblox youtuber doing in a metroid prime 2 speedrun video?
@@4powerdudeplayzwhat people can’t like multiple things?
That dark samus skip at the beginning will never cease to amaze me.
Dark Suit: Im still waiting...Why did nobody pick me up?
Occasionally shooting in time with the music during certain parts... you are adorable I love you
That's a standard requirement for speedruns, if you don't do that your run is invalidated
@@MrMiguel211 Wait really?
@@derrickdaniels3955 what do you think?
@@MrMiguel211 ouch
Insane. This is completely unrecognizable from when I last watched a run of this game ~15 years ago.
the parts where youre in the dark world with just the varia suit draining your health gets my cheeks all clenched up everytime
I still shudder from this.
I know! it was crazy
O great emperor, how did she defeat you? The battle must've been fierce! "Well uh, she just awkwardly jumped at me twice."
The way he was on beat!!!!! 18:22
It's a show offfff 😂😎
Insane run.
I picked up Prime a while ago and had fun with it but echoes just is insanely hard to even get in to...
Still one of my favourite games to watch. Love the runs and lurking in stream from time to time.
Keep it up man :)
Really? Echoes was my first and favorite prime ever! Even now after playing all the Metroid games
Wait a nanoclick Quadraxis, didn't Samus already destroy you?
Dark Samus must be so confused. they set up all these elaborate things to try to kill Samus and she just ignores all of them, kills a king in 57 seconds, and promptly disregards the physical bounds of reality the entire time

another world record nicely done love the metroid prime series
this is one of the most absolutely mind blowing runs I've ever seen
GG, mate.
Thank you for continually destroying my favorite childhood game.

This game was so difficult to beat. I can only imagine speed running it
grew up with prime 1 and 2 fucking amazing run much love bro
You skipped a major section, yet you still have the Morph Ball Bombs, the Missile Launcher, and the Boost Ball, respect given multiplied by 99.871
awesome work! I remember Echoes being a challenge for me in a normal playthrough almost 20 years ago. I remember as soon as I beat Dark Samus I was never going to play it again, but seeing this speedrun has got me eager to play it once more
Speedrun using save point (giggles) but its because of this constant damage... magmoor caverns vibe brings nightmares to non-varia suit speedrunners
Insane run! I loved it!
Congrats on this WR! MP2 is my favorite game of all time and even though I don't really speedrun it, I still love watching runs of this game because of how insanely it can be broken (Screw Attack for the win baby). Amazing run, here's to another PB!
I like how Chykka's first form takes an excruciatingly long time, and then the second form just dies instantly.
Absolutely incredible
神！！
私がまだ10代の頃、メトロイドプライムシリーズにハマりましたが、貴方に最大限の賛辞を送りたい。
貴方を含め、メトロイドプライムシリーズの攻略を、今でもしている方が何人かおられますが、私は注目して観ています。応援してます！！

21:12 AHHHH and that Air Underwater HAHAH. I couldn't help but audibly laugh seeing you do that! CLEAN!
wtf you're so cracked
The movement throughout the whole thing is CLEAN
congratz on WR!
48:00 that was funny
You occasionally shooting to the rhythm of the music was so endearing
I will never not be stressed out watching runners navigate the dark world in the varia suit
Wow so the screw attack is just completely broken
grand abyss straight to quadraxis skip i could never😵💫

Really what you're seeing is just 480p upscaled to 1080p, the only reason for that is that TH-cam allows for a higher bitrate on higher resolutions.
And I use this capture card www.avermedia.com/us/product-detail/C985 with a Mayflash HDMI Wii Adapter. It's definetly not the best way to capture but it's good enough for me.

I wanna see someone speedrun the prime games without going out of bounds
How did you take 0 atmospheric damage from the atmosphere of the Power Bomb Guardian?
Cannon Ball State that Miguel gets from doing the kinetic orb cannon sequence in Workers Path, right after returning the sanctuary energy

Sleeper player comes out of no where
@@Twinsen764 Miguel has been good at Prime 2 for several years
Several Years? He just came out of hiding like not too long ago. Miles was the pro for the longest time
I'm DCR
😮😮
at 26:04 why do you pause buffer on the elevator?
How did you get the Spider Ball? I didn't see that upgrade.
I started with it
bro has hecho speed run de metroid prime 2 pero en wii?
9:07 - Is that a clipping bug you did on the Spider Ball track?
No I just repressed the R button quickly
20:57 hey Miguel how do you do this trick right here
(actually wait I got it but could you still explain for others)
Very carefully
Have no idea what happened with the Chykka fight but okay😂
Seemed he rolled under it just as it was stunned in its Light Form and that somehow instakilled it.
@@TheBanishedWindWhen you use the cannon in fortress and it fires you out of bounds the game kinda forgets that you arent in the cannon anymore.

Why defeat the Power Bomb Guardian when you already have Power Bombs?
@@zxylo786 Because otherwise the Sky Temple Key in Dark Oasis won't spawn
There are absolutely no videos explaining or narrating all the cheats and techniques possible in metroid prime 2. Can you make one?
When did he get the screw attack?!
During the out of bounds from grand abyss. Because Vault isn't set as the active/primary room, the item acquisition cutscene and dialog doesn't happen
@@BashPrime I see thank you for the info
More accurately, the cutscene layer is deactivated
@@MrMiguel211 I stand corrected, Miguel explains it better. Thanks.
Oh so you cheated to get this record.
Who says I cheated?
Please elaborate on what cheats Miguel used to get this record
Oh so you didn't think before writing this comment
@@CScottyW 🥱 He glitches outside the map. If this was a legitimate Speedrun he wouldn't need to cheat.
ah shit, welp I guess I did cheat
