Oh boy...can't wait to get man handled and tossed up against the wall like a child.

For the guys having trouble with the EMMI I would love to hear what you guys think of the 
Easily the biggest pain in my ass

I decided to do the Kraid sequence break and I completely forgot where I was suppose to go after getting the diffusion beam. 

I think I got the Pulse Radar early.
 
Spoilered just in case anyone doesn't want to know.
 

Her entire "conversation" with Kraid. *Chefs Kiss*

That motherfucker was a nuisance but I managed to get by him without dying too much but his searchlight is def on some BS.  Luckily I mashed like a mad man whenever he just happened to catch me.
 
So far my parrying % with EMMI's is somewhere around 30%.  When you actually manage to parry one you feel like "FUCK YESS GET OFF ME!" but you don't have time to pop off cause you gotta get outta there.  I also want to say that I like the futile flaiing that have Samus do when when you miss the timing of the parry and the subsequent mashing of parry that usually ensues afterwards towards her inevitable demise.  They didn't have to do that but it's a nice touch seeing her trying to get free and live despite the oncoming inevitability.
 
Speaking of animation, I have to say bravo to Mercurysteam on the animations for Samus during some of these cutscenes with the bosses.  I can hear her personality through them loud and clear and she doesn't even have to say a word.  They're doing a hell of a job conveying her badassness through them.

The yellow one is the fast one.  So far I've had the most stress dealing with that asshole and the Purple EMMI that I finally got pass tonight.  Those 2 had my toes had me in deep panics when they knew I was in the area.
 
Also want to say I was getting my ass handed to me by the first chozo warrior encounter.   That god damn red attack with that wide as fuck hit box.  Feels like it doesn't matter if you're on another platform or trying to phase shift above it...if you haven't dodged it proper before the attack animation comes out then you eat that shit for free.  I'm at a good point now where they show up and I'm like "....you sure you wanna do this?   Aaaaiiight then..." and just handle it but that first encounter...dude was in my cheeks.  Then on top of that they try to entice you to hesitate for a chance to counter so you gotta see what whether its the counterable attack or not or the red attack and you got a half sec to react.
 
 
This game has been a great ride...I'm almost at the end game.  Got one more EMMI somewhere and atleast one more powerup and then I'm pretty sure I'll be having a long conversation with the final boss shortly after.

This is great 
 
 

Got to the final boss.
 
Almost 13h, 92% Item collection, no guide. Unlocked 4 of the sector completion illustrations.
 
That's going pretty well I suppose.
 
Besides the immediate beatdown I got by the final boss. Oh well, tomorrow's problems are for tomorrow's me.🤣

Iirc, aiming pans the camera a bit too, or was that just in Samus Returns?
 
Yellow E.M.M.I. is on some shit tho. The E.M.M.I. in general are probably the best stalker enemy I've seen. 
 
I was on that late-game power trip mode and walked in carelessly into an E.M.M.I. zone.
 
That game over screen reminded me what was up real quick. 🤣

It might be, but I haven't gotten the cannon for this one yet.
 
@Volt can confirm holding aim with L1 lets the camera pan up and down. That's super useful lol.

I definitely noticed them. Not sure what they signify yet either, at first I thought they were just there to look pretty 
 
Is that the EMMI who comes for you immediately after you get the Omega Canon? Where u have like almost no room to work with. If so, yea, FUCK that encounter. I died over a dozen times easy there lol

You guys notice these clusters of blue butterflies? They just appeared outside a room with a Chozo statue that gave me an upgrade, but I've seen them around in other areas too. Are they some kind of subtle clue or something?

I decided to sequence break for my hard mode playthrough and now I utterly lost. 

Fuck yes!

FUCK this yellow EMMI! This shit is so intense lol.
 
I noticed that if you jump and then hold down on the stick as you land you can get the camera to pan down a little until you let go of down. Lets you see below bit more before making a blind jump down.

Jeff Grubb is chaotic good
 
 

I figured that if these bosses were getting me stressed, journalists would be in shambles, but this is embarrassing. 🤣
 
I straight up wanted to take a break to chill and de-stress a bit because beating all these fuckers back-to-back was taking a toll on my mood, but this game is too good, I can't. 😭
