World Record Progression: Super Metroid

[zumzum]

"Hotarubi decided to create a run that was so amazing, everyone thought it was fake, AND save the animals just to annoy everyone" that's my kind of trolling right there

[pkstarstorm]

I love how people don't get angry when their records are broken. It just prompts them to improve and find a way to take it back. Such a rad community

Hotorubi saving the animals was the hardest flex ive ever seen in my life

[alansmith]

It'd be awesome to have Summoning Salt revisit this, especially with Oats's new record from yesterday.

Imagine flexing so hard on a community you
A) Break their record so hard they can't believe it could possibly be real.
B) Do it while wasting time getting a 'different ending.'
C) Break it so god dang hard they start doing segmented runs just to prove that they could theoretically beat you.
D) Break THAT record because F you.
E) Make them essentially start racing for second because you are a god and they are mere mortals.
F) Change the scoring system by beating them so hard.
G) And then proceed to move on and wreck people in other games.




Talk about beaten at your own game. Dear god that is legendary levels of flexing. Aaron would have to flex himself out of the freaking galaxy to match that.

Worked harder on this one than any of the other ones so far. Hope you all enjoy it!

Hotarubi saving the animals makes me chuckle.

Having been in the Super Metroid community since May of 2011, I can't begin to tell you how satisfying this video was, and I can't thank you enough for doing the research and presenting it all so well. The majority of these runners are people I consider good friends, so it's amazing to see it all put together and for their story and the story of the Super Metroid community to be shared. Thank you, and keep making great videos and providing a positive source of content for the speedrunning community as a whole.

I LOVE THE HEADPHONE WARNING! Why don't more people do this? I'm fine with that level of noise/distortion, with a heads up about 2.5-4 seconds beforehand. That's a classy move from a classy channel.

Speedrunning is so full of anime betrayals and plot twists.

"HAH! You think you had secured the ultimate world record, but it was I, BEHEMOTH!"

My rare-to-give sincere feedback: Please continue this series. The effort is noticed and so appreciated. I've always enjoyed speedruns in any capacity, but your way of breaking down the different chronicles of glitches and milestones is a complete treat. Usually this is stuff where we can only know half the story through stumbling upon the different runs. Your thorough coverage off all the specific interesting in-between stuff that would literally be impossible for myself to put aside the energy and time to discover is professional and concise, yet detailed and explained well enough to really the build a great story behind the runs. Thanks for the videos so far... Looking forward to what's to come!

It's great to see how much Summoning Salt has improved over the years. Super Metroid is one of my favorite games and I would love to see a remake/follow-up to this video, because a game such as this deserves the insane production value of modern Summoning Salt

[TheOriginalGankstar]

We need a Hotarubi special. You can do a series on especially prolific speedrunners who held MANY records such as him, Billy Mitchell and others. A good off-shoot to the sort of stuff you are already producing. Pls Lord.

Yo, HOTARUBI is back!
He is once again running super Metroid.
Good times.
His channel is called htrb
Edit: He renamed it back to Hotarubi. Seems hes getting more serious again. Hes also Posting very active lately!

[LordUzaki]

"Thr ingame timer is fairly accurate"
*Immediately Afterwards*
"He got a 0:38, or 52 minutes real time."
*What?!*

What's funny is, "KPDR" is the intended route. At least, it seems like it with the way you get power-ups. It's crazy that it took so long for people to look at doing the bosses out of order, especially since they are using tricks that allow them to skip some power-ups anyway.

Fun Fact: DPRK Route is called "North Korea%"
