HD-Man Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Blue EMMI with that stun attack, that's where I was last. Thought about trying to sequence break but I don't wanna fuck up so old fashioned way it is. Can't wait to get off work and try again RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
Volt Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Blue EMMI was rough. Suddenly you're running and jumping and then you start to fall because you got frozen. 😭 Getting hit out of your Flash Shift and falling into the water is like: Hawkingbird, RSG3 and Sonichuman 3 Quote Link to comment
Volt Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Pretty sure tapping aim makes it not only faster but even earlier, so the game is officially broken now. 🤣 Expect Super Metroid levels of wild shit at any moment now. Hawkingbird, RSG3 and Sonichuman 3 Quote Link to comment

Edit: Blue EMMI was nothing compared to this fucking purple one 🤬 Legit. The blue one annoyed me but I actually got him and his bullshit pretty quickly and then ole Purple Urple came by to ruin my whole night lol. Chadouken 1 Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Purple is definitely on some shit especially if you don't have the gravity suit. The moment you step into the zone it's like touching a spider web. He's immediately on you and then you try to hid and hope he goes away but it doesn't matter cause the moment you move AT ALL it knows you're there. Edit: eventually I had to just be like fuck it and just go for running foe it and I eventually made it. Edited October 13, 2021 by Sonichuman RSG3 and Volt 2 Quote Link to comment

Taking my time and exploring comes after I bust their heads open like coconuts. The cloak is just for the times they pretty much already spawn on your way and you need to buy some time while they move out. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I generally hit Chozo soldiers with a charge shot first then spam missle, when Im unable to do either, spam regular shots. Those fights never go over 2 minutes for me And I finally took out that blue fuck, killed him on my 2nd try after finding the Omega Canon. Honestly, that confrontation was ALOT easier since you had some breathing room. Tricked him into climbing the ceiling so I could wail on him then may him climb up a platform and popped him soon as he stuck his head out. Very satisfying Chadouken, Sonichuman, Hawkingbird and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

Chadouken Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'll find it, no more hints. Speaking of hints- those blue butterflies? They appear resting on the very first Omega Beam eyeball at the beginning of the game (the one for the broken EMMI). They're just chilling there and flutter away as you approach. I definitely think they are a subtle hint to help point you in the direction of shit you need to do. DarkSakul, Darc_Requiem and RSG3 1 2 Quote Link to comment

You guys are all getting pretty good times. I've played for three hours each night since release so that's about 15 hours and I feel like I still have a bunch of exploring to do. Albeit a chunk of that time has gone to retrying EMMI zones after getting got and a couple boss fights, and looking at the map. I wonder how much in-game time I'm at. Is there a way to check?

I think her regular suit in this game is probably my favorite design for out of all the games so far. The new color is nice and it's not as slim as her Other M design so I'd say they definitely hit what they were going for with her. RSG3, Hawkingbird, Chadouken and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

Sonichuman Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'm surprised that Jaffe can't seem to appreciate the way it's showing and not telling. I mean if you've been playing the game up to that point and you see enemies in the room then most people probably would have shot up there in the first place to test the walls. The game pretty teaches you that out of the gate not to mention the fact that it's Metroid 101. Not only do they let you see the room above there with enemies but they also have an enemy upside down on the wall above increasing the chances of you shooting up there and discovering that the wall is breakable. I don't know what else Jaffe wants aside from a big fucking arrow pointing up there lol. Volt, RSG3, Chadouken and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I wouldnt say Jaffe has ever demonstrated a penchant for nuance lol. This is the God of War/Twisted Metal guy. With that said like come on man, he's complaining about 2D Exploration 101. How long till he asks how to make Metroid Crawl?

To let er rip, press B with no directional input. You can aim during the startup. If you need to practice, the transport rooms with the trains are great. No enemies and long enough to Boost and try out stuff. RSG3 and HD-Man 1 1 Quote Link to comment
