[Fuzion Phoenix]

Hey people, this thread is for disscusion of the Metroid Series.
Discusion of ANY Metroid game is allowed.
For those who don't know what the games are, every game is as follows (in cronological order of the Metroid time line) :
Metroid:Zero Misson(GBA):This is a remake of the orignal Metriod
Metroid (NES)
Metroid Prime (GameCube)
Metroid Prime:Hunters (DS)
Metroid Prime 2:Echos (GameCube)
Metroid Prime 3:Corruption (Wii)
Metroid II:Return of Samus (Gameboy)
Super Metroid (Snes)
Metroid:Fusion(GBA)

Spinoffs:
Metroid Prime: Pinball

Now Lets Talk Metroid!

[Hellfire Soul]

Omega Metroids rawk. Ridley screams too much in Fusion.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Yeah, But then again, i just listen to the music while battling him.

[Hellfire Soul]

*ARua! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

Ridley Music is awesome. Metroid Prime's Plasma Beam is one of the few bad-looking things in Prime.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

WHAT!
That beam helped my kick the Omega Priates ass without losing 100 health!
On hard mode!

[Hellfire Soul]

I said looking. It still PWNS, but it looks too flat.

[Foozdude]

I liked how the Arm Cannon looked when you fire it, and when you charge it up, but the shots looked bleh.

I love Ridley's music. I really do. It gives a great feeling of battle and panic, which makes the battle so much more frantic, each of you trying to defeat one another.

I like to play around in Super Metroid with all the different power up configurations. Want to face Mother Brain with only the Power Suit and a Charge Power Beam? Go right ahead! I mean, that game never ends its fun, in anyway, except that after a while you know where to go.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Yeah...
But the Sonic Boom charge combo from prime 2 was WTFH powerful.

[Hellfire Soul]

But it was also OMGWTFBBQ expensive for ammo.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Yeah one massive thirst for ammo
30 Light ammo+ 30 Dark ammo+ 5 missles= one KICKASS ATTACK!

[Foozdude]

I just used it against those really weak spiny wall climbing enemies. I forget what they're called, but wasting that much ammo on a small crawler thingy is so much fun.

I could then proceed to say:

"OVERKILL!"

Hehehehe.

[Hellfire Soul]

Ah, Zoomers. So much fun to kill.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Sonic boom was a Last Resort for me.
BTW anyone notice the simalarity between the Omega Pirate's boss music and Quadraxis's, I heard the gong like sound in both.

[Clownman]

~Nevermind...

[Hellfire Soul]

A thread where we discuss the Metroid games. Or talk in Metroidinese.

*Skree!*

[Foozdude]

Kinda... although I find it funny some people have trouble on the Omega Pirate. I mean, Quadraxis is a pain, I agree, but the Omega Pirate didn't even kill me, let alone lower me to my last Energy Tank.

I HATED the Space Pirate music. Seriously.
It friggin' creeps me out. Not the one during battle, but the eerie ambient one before battle, but when you know they're there.

Or even, the Boost Ball Guardian in MP2. I friggin' hate that thing.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

My most hated boss is Chykka, He/she never knows when to give up.

[Foozdude]

Was that the Varia Suit boss from MP1?

[Fuzion Phoenix]

No, that was Flaagara, Chykka was the Dark Torvus Temple boss.

[Foozdude]

The larva and flying insect thing?

God, that battle was long.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

DAMN RIGHT!
BUT Ridley was not in MP2 *Cries*

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Anybody get the Metriod Prime 3 Preview on the Wii?

[Hellfire Soul]

ME!!! *Waves hand frantically* IT RAWKS!!!!!! It is seriously awesome. I can't wait to get the real deal.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Did you see the Aarora clip.

[Hellfire Soul]

YESH!!!! Everything about Corruption is SOOO awesome!

[TAoR]

Yep, and the new Ridley fight's gonna be freaken awesome!

[Hellfire Soul]

Heh. Meta-Ridley was the best fight of Metroid Prime. Of course, I just used Wavebuster FTW.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

YESH!!!! Everything about Corruption is SOOO awesome!
Note the network of all the Aarora's at the end of the clip, it looks EXACTLY like the Mother Brian's Chamber in Metroid, Metroid:Zero Mission, and Super Metroid.

[TAoR]

It's funny, Retro can turn the Metroid series into 3D and achive great results, but capcom can't turn MMX into 3D w/out fucking it up

[Hellfire Soul]

Yeah, which means SOMETHING is going to be happening of EXTREME importance. Probably part of the "Prime 3-> Metroid 2" connection.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Well the Prime series takes place BEFORE Metroid II.

[Hellfire Soul]

Hence why Nintendo needs to link Prime 3 and Metroid 2's storylines, so the passage from Prime to Metroid 2 is smooth and relatively plot-hole free.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

BTW have you seen the Ridley Model I'm working on?

[Hellfire Soul]

I have not... Sounds awesome though.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Eh, It's hard to make a guy that big into somthing that small..

[Hellfire Soul]

Well, that's understandable.

[Foozdude]

You could always make the Model attached to an animal, like my (I'm thinking about it) Model Beat. It uses one of those ZX birds as its owner.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Well Model MR belongs to my character's enemy.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

I Found this on Deviant art...
http://manganiac.deviantart.com/art/Omega-Metroid-suit-41074801
So F**king cool!

[Hellfire Soul]

WOAH! *Stares*

[Fuzion Phoenix]

If Samus had that the entirety of Fusion, she would not need to run from th SA-X

[Hellfire Soul]

Hell, she'd OWN the SA-X in one shot, with her normal, un-upgraded beam. :)

[turpinator]

Anyone see today's Wii update on Prime 3? I could've sworn in the video called "Air Assault" (at least I THINK that's the right one, I know it isn't the Valhalla one) that Samus was wearing something like a purple fusion suit. O_o

[Darx]

Ah, Metroid...

...Metroid Prime final boss, first form: it killed me about 20 times before I understand how to efficiently kill it.... :D

*suxx*

I'm looking forward Metroid Prime : Corruption...

Trailer : "To date, no Marines have displayed signs of Phazon sickness [...]"

...even if the scenario is, sometimes, obvious...

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Anyone see today's Wii update on Prime 3? I could've sworn in the video called "Air Assault" (at least I THINK that's the right one, I know it isn't the Valhalla one) that Samus was wearing something like a purple fusion suit. O_o

That is Called the Corruption suit. Apparently Samus gets it after Dark Samus infects her and the other hunters with Phazon.

Ah, Metroid...

...Metroid Prime final boss, first form: it killed me about 20 times before I understand how to efficiently kill it.... :D

HAH! I killed it first Try.

[Foozdude]

The final form was easy, killing the shells were annoying.

Although, Emperor Ing was just long for me.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

ARE YOU CRA-Z!
He was a peice of cake for me!

[TAoR]

The final bosses of Prime2 were a joke. Metroid Prime(The boss) was actually hard, though the second form was a joke(but SO DAMN FUN!!)

BTW- Umm, anyone remember when the game's supposed to come out? Cause last I heard, it was supposed to come out today

[Fuzion Phoenix]

August 27th, thats what I remeber.

[TAoR]

Ah damn, same day I go back to school
*checks google*
Heh, japan gets the game in december. It's fair now

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Sweet!

[Hellfire Soul]

Hahaha! Finally!

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Who would win, Kraid, or Quadraxis?

[turpinator]

That is Called the Corruption suit. Apparently Samus gets it after Dark Samus infects her and the other hunters with Phazon.
Well in the Morph Ball vidoe she's wearing another suit that looks more like the Corruption Suit (IE: A black suit with bright blue trim) , but this one truly looks like a Fusion Suit. (IE:Normal helmet colours, but the body is a dark purple and the suit is morre form fitting/hard to make out the details) Anyways, could be, could not be, who knows?

[Zero20XD6]

Whoo! I'm getting corruption today.

[TAoR]

It's been said 6 posts ago(go check ebgames.com if you don't believe it) that it comes out/ships the 27th

[Zero20XD6]

Guess What. I was lied too buy a guy at gamestop.

[turpinator]

Guess What. I was lied too buy a guy at gamestop.
[Dripping Sarcasm]No. WAI! I rly wish it wuz in storez nowz!!!! >______<[/Dripping Sarcasm]
Seriously though, any 'Roid fan could see that bluff a mile away. >_> Anyways........ *Goes back to playing Prime 1 and eventually Super Metroid from Wii download*

EDIT: Also, please fix your grammar, it's pretty atrocious.

[Hellfire Soul]

*Plays Prime 1, and owns Metroid Prime for the tenth time, this time without taking damage*

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Has anybody thought that the Mother Brain Could be the Missing Aarora unit corrupted/reverse enginered?

[Hellfire Soul]

Maybe.... *DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!*

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Whats your fastest time for any metroid game?
Mine is 1:43 for Fusion.

[Clownman]

Metroid II, with help from a map and getting lost a couple of times.

[Hellfire Soul]

1:02, Metroid Fusion, after knowing every path to take, and only grabbing about 6 missle tanks.

I absolutely hate the ending images for the English version of Metroid Fusion. Way to prostitute-y for Samus. She's not a whore, she's a bounty hunter.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Well even a bouty Hunters need a sex appel(sp)

[Hellfire Soul]

Granted, there's worse out there in terms of Samus pics, but those are drawn by serious perverts with no time on their hand. Anyway, my best time on Metroid Prime is 24 hours and 21 minutes.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

HAHAHA!
10:16 is mine for prime!

[Hellfire Soul]

Hey, I take my time! Besides, I'm only missing a missle expansion.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Hey, I take my time! Besides, I'm only missing a missle expansion.
94% of Items on that file too. I kepp missing a couple expansions.

[Hellfire Soul]

Don't forget, the Phazon Suit/Beam only counts in percentage once you have everything else. Weird, but true.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

My worst Metroid Moment is when I was just about to Kill the Omega Pirate, but I was killed by a plasma Trooper.

[Hellfire Soul]

Mine? Getting owned by the SA-X's Screw Attack in TRO trying to lay a Power Bomb.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Prime 2 moment. Dying after bombing Amorbis to death.

[Hellfire Soul]

In Prime, I was leaving from Impact Crater after getting my butt kicked by Fusion Metroids.... I had 3 health left. Tryed escaping to my ship, and got owned by the seedlings in that ONE hallway.

[Foozdude]

I jumped in front of SA-X, trying to harm her with my charge shots. Needless to say, it didn't work, and my 26 HP became 0 quickly.
Not the final boss version. :p

[Hellfire Soul]

Once, I jumped INTO the SA-X. BIG mistake. Insta-death'd. :(

[Fuzion Phoenix]

*SCREE!* *SCREE!* *SCREE!*
That's metroid for 3 DAYS Till CORRUPTION!

[Hellfire Soul]

*Skree! Skreee!*

Metroid for "I'm SO getting it!"

[Foozdude]

*insert Ridley-X screech*

That means... uh... I don't know, but it sounds so awesome.

[Hellfire Soul]

*Shivers* How can you LIKE that? It's AWFUL!

[Foozdude]

It's meant to be creepy, and it works like that. I like the fact it fits the creature, and I love the sound.

It reminds me of the Silent Hill 2: "Pyramidhead rapes dolls" scene.

>_>

No, I don't love that scene. It's just one of the first things that come to mind whenever I hear "creepy".

[Hellfire Soul]

O.O I have nothing I can say to that.

[Foozdude]

XD

Anyways... the order of my favourite opponents are...

Ridley > Ridley-X > SA-X > Missile Guardian (MP2)

[Hellfire Soul]

Mine is
Meta Ridley>Metroid Prime>Omega Pirate> SA-X

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Mine...
Dark Samus>Emporer Ing>Thardus>Omega Pirate.

[Hellfire Soul]

Aw, yeah! I forgot about Thardus!

[turpinator]

Did anyone see the close-up of Samus's new suit in the Wii update of the Mine Battle video? It looks like it may not be symmetrical at all. Personally I think maybe that one suit may not be the Corruption Suit. What're your opinions guys?

[Aen]

I think it's the corruption suit. I mean, it's like when Vent megamerge's into model ZX. It doesn't look exactly like Zero.

[turpinator]

Yeah, I realize that, but this doesn't even come CLOSE to looking like Dark Samus. It kinda looks more like a cross between Samus's suit and a Marine's suit.

[Aen]

Well... Maybe they're Nintendo and can do whatever the fuck they want! XD

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Yeah, I realize that, but this doesn't even come CLOSE to looking like Dark Samus. It kinda looks more like a cross between Samus's suit and a Marine's suit.
She has a PED (Phazon Enhancement Device) on her suit.

[Aen]

See? SEE?! Just what he said. ^,^

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Thank u Aen.

[Aen]

Well, when you're right, you're right!
...Unless you're wrong... O,O

[Fuzion Phoenix]

I check the preveiws AND get Gameinformer.

[Aen]

Okay. Then you're right! Way to go. ^,^

[turpinator]

Aen, I WAS right. >_> Marines are the first to aquire and use the device, Samus must've aquired one during the storyline. (maybe she fought a renegade Marine for it?) Anyways.....

[Fuzion Phoenix]

She got the PED suit because Dark samus corrupted her system with Phazon!

[turpinator]

Fine. But I was still right in my interpretation as to what her suit looked like in the videos. *Starts sulking* Anyways, now that you mention it I forgot about the info I saw that talked about that, somehow I just remembered when you told me. >_>

[Fuzion Phoenix]

KRIAD IS DEAD!
Long live Quadraxis!
(I allways wanted to say that.)

[Hellfire Soul]

Quadraxis is bad-ass. Kraid, Nintendo was too lazy to 3-d-ify him.

[Ryo Hazaki]

She got the PED suit because Dark samus corrupted her system with Phazon!

It wouldn't be the first time her suit got corrupted by something (Fusion).

What, in your humble opinion is the best suit she gets? Mine (so far) is the Metroid Fusion: Fusion suit. (Not her first one, that's Fusion: Power, but the last one she gets during the final battle.)

[Hellfire Soul]

Phazon Suit. Pure PWNage.

[Ryo Hazaki]

The only downside to that suit is the fact that it's best weapon is only usable in a situational basis.

[Terry von Feledae]

It wouldn't be the first time her suit got corrupted by something (Fusion).
Actually, it would be her first - as Fusion is later in the series. Though yes, her suit seems to be kinda vulnerable against corruption.

[Ryo Hazaki]

I'm talking game-release-wise.

[Hellfire Soul]

Well, I like Fusion because it gives a decent reason for her uber items to be lost. Prime: An explosion? She survives those every adventure without losing her suit functions.

[Ryo Hazaki]

At least in hunters she keeps all her items.

Also in Prime 2... ... WTF?! The Ing take her items???

[Hellfire Soul]

Metroid 1: She loses them in a car crash. XD, just kidding, it's the first of the series.

[Ryo Hazaki]

I can't wait for a Fusion sequel (the next game in the timeline.)

[Hellfire Soul]

She should be hunted by both Space Pirates and the Federation, and then she has to choose which to finish off. That'd be cool.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

I can't wait for a Fusion sequel (the next game in the timeline.)
Ummm Vega, they had one, but cancelled it.

[Zero20XD6]

Whoo I got corruption monday.

[rickysio]

Whoo I got corruption monday.

>.<
Stop reminding me I don't have any game systems (Only the PS1 and this 256MB RAM PC. Not even a DS.)

Though yes, her suit seems to be kinda vulnerable against corruption.
She must be running Microsoft! The evil!

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Well, I like Fusion because it gives a decent reason for her uber items to be lost. Prime: An explosion? She survives those every adventure without losing her suit functions.
A Power surge that overloaded her suits systems was the real cause.

[turpinator]

Woohoo, I also got Corruption! X3 I must say that this game is more epic than I anticipated, not to mention upgrades seem to be practically spilling out of this game. (you turn a corner BOOM, graple upgrade, suit upgrade, health tank, yadda yadda)

[rickysio]

...Are you playing on Easy?

[turpinator]

For now, yes. (and to be specific it's called "normal setting") I want to get used to the controls on the first runthrough before I try hard. I'm never a fan of jumping in all gung-hoe on an unconfirmed difficulty game. For all I knew hard mode could've been a codename for Heaven 'n Hell mode. (DMC reference) XD

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Damnnnnn!
I Need To Get Corrpution!

[rickysio]

MMX8 was brutal. It's Easy was other's normal, Normal was hard... >.<

I need to get a Wii. And a DS. And the Game. TT.TT

[turpinator]

If you guys want I could give you some info on the gameplay that doesn't contain spoilers. I've told someone else this as well, so all I have to do to get it now is cut+paste the info. ;P

[Zomaxiee]

Woohoo, I also got Corruption! X3 I must say that this game is more epic than I anticipated, not to mention upgrades seem to be practically spilling out of this game. (you turn a corner BOOM, graple upgrade, suit upgrade, health tank, yadda yadda)
Corruption rocks!! I got it today, though I'm a bit lost on the second objective in Bryyo.

[turpinator]

I think I'm right before that. The first objective is:
locate the ship, right?

[Zomaxiee]

Yep, that is the first one.

[turpinator]

Hmmmm, I'm almost there. I'll see what I can explain when I do. *Goes to play game*

EDIT: Did you get the grapple swing upgrade yet? If so all you have to at the moment is visit the other question mark places now by flying to their nearby landing stations.

[Zero20XD6]

Whoo! I reached the centennial mark in kills.

[Peytral Dragonblade]

I just now beat the game. I might try Hyper Mode soon though.

[Zomaxiee]

Muwhahahaha!
Plasma beam and screw attack rocks!!!!!:cool:

[Ryo Hazaki]

Ummm Vega, they had one, but cancelled it.

WWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! !

[Fuzion Phoenix]

WWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! !
WWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! !
To you too, It was called Metroid: Dread.

[Peytral Dragonblade]

Muwhahahaha!
Plasma beam and screw attack rocks!!!!!:cool:

Nova Beam is better!

[Zomaxiee]

Fuck... I ruined the surprise of knowing what beam is next.... I hate Metroids, they stick to the screen and you see their insides.

[rickysio]

This month's copy of EGM came with a review on Metroid Corruption.

And their comment on the controls?

"When in doubt, wriggle."

>.>

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Fuck... I ruined the surprise of knowing what beam is next.... I hate Metroids, they stick to the screen and you see their insides.
EEEGH!
Reminds me of an Ailen's game for the Sega saturn.
But then again, METROIDS WOULD KICK ALIEN ASS!

[Ryo Hazaki]

Why'd they cancel Dread?

[Zero20XD6]

You do realize that there's a thing you scan in Corruption saying Dread's arriving so it's either a joke r still being made.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Not according to MZF. (Model Z-Fusion for all you noobs)

[Zero20XD6]

That's why I said it could be a joke.

[rickysio]

It's more probably an easter egg.

[Zero20XD6]

They also did it in Echoes when scanned it said something about Metroid Prime Hunters being released soon.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Why'd they cancel Dread?
I mearly said that GI announced that Dread was "Dead."

[rickysio]

Do you get to fly the her spaceship?

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Kanden has gone WWRRYY! on us.

[Ony]

LOL
I've always wondered what WRRYYYYY meant...

[rickysio]

Kanden has gone WWRRYY! on us.

Was this not from Metroid 3rd Derivative?

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Was this not from Metroid 3rd Derivative?
It is, That comic was funny.

[rickysio]

Metriod Dread is dead, atleast for 2D.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Added a poll for you to post what your favorite beam.
Mine is the Light Beam.

[Peytral Dragonblade]

Mine is the Nova Beam. It was a hard choice though.

[rickysio]

Hyper Beam.

[Xterra]

Hahah...Mine's the DarkBeam, mostly because you turn light crystals into dark clouds.

That's awesome.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Haven't played much of MP2 and none of MP or MP3, so I'll say Plasma.

[Xterra]

Hey, why isn't Corruption beam there? That'd be my fav' if it was.

(EDIT)-Crap, that's Hyper Beam. Nevermind, I screwed up.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Umm xet, Hyper beam is the one from Super metriod that you use to VAPORIZE the mother brian's bipedal form.

[Ony]

Plasma Beam Ftw!
(METROID BASED SIG YAY!)

[turpinator]

Umm xet, Hyper beam is the one from Super metriod that you use to VAPORIZE the mother brian's bipedal form.
Nope, it's both. But in this case it would most likely mean Prime 3, because the only weaps on that list are Prime ones.

[Xterra]

@F-P: Exactly what Turpinator said. MetroidPrime 3 Hyper Beam is different.

Oh, and it's 1000x better than the SuperMetroid version of the same beam.

The reason I'd screwed up on the voting was because in my mind I was thinking of the HyperBeam being the one from SM, but then I realised that it was from MP3...

...and that I'd messed up.

[Ragekill15]

Ice Beam!
Freezing pwns!

Plus it sounded cool when you used in MPFusion.

[turpinator]

Ice Beam!
Freezing pwns!

Plus it sounded cool when you used in MPFusion.
It's Metroid Fusion, not Metroid Prime Fusion! XD

[Xterra]

Well, it's kind of hard to tell when you could wear the Fusion suits in MP1. XD

[turpinator]

True, funny enough that's the only thing I never got to do in Metroid games. :/

[Xterra]

-_- And you call yourself a true Metroid fan...(just kidding XD)

[turpinator]

Well the reason why was I never had both Fusion and Prime in my home at the same time at ANY time. If I did, I would've jumped on that like white on rice. :| I have seen screens of what the suits look like and I must say they look pretty hawt.

[Xterra]

They are, and all you had to do was beat both and link them up.

I'd say you go ahead and do that soon. It does look great.

[turpinator]

I would need to get a copy of Fusion to do so. >_> And I don't really feel like beating it for the umpteenth time, same with Prime, just to get a suit. If I ever manage to get a copy of Fusion for free however...... that's an entirely different story.

[Xterra]

Honestly, I wish they let you do a ZM link up with MP3 that let you play as the Zero suit.

I swear, that'd be the coolest thing they ever did.

If they were to do so, you'd need to first beat the game with 100%.

(which I did) I think it'd be awesome to play as Zero suit Samus.

[turpinator]

Either that or unlock a password mode like in the original metroid, then type in Justin Bailey.

[Xterra]

BTW- Do you know what Justin Bailey means? It's not a name like everyone thinks.

It actually stands for Just In Bailey. 'Bailey' means Swimsuit. Cool, huh?

Oh, and MP3 has no password slot...

(except they have unlockable things in the Extras menu)

They could of had it for sale in there, but they didn't.

[turpinator]

Yeah, I know. All I'm saying is they could've implemented it that way.

[Xterra]

They could have, but sadly they didn't. ;_;

It would have been wonderfull to play like that, but Nintendo decided not to.

It's not as though we were asking for a nude Samus, just for her Zero suit version.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Quick Question, Who would win, Samus or Master Chief?

[Ryo Hazaki]

Not this again!!!

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Not this again!!!
I personaly think it would be a tie.

[Ryo Hazaki]

I'm seiously getting sick of people asking that question. But, it would indeed be a tie.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

It would because:
1.Samus has more firepower, but Chief is very resorceful.
2.Samus's power suit shild needs energy to recharge it, wheras Chief's shield will recharge if he doesn't get hit.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Anyway.

I found this online, and I think every Metroid fan should read this:

Listen to the song, it will sound familer.

[Foozdude]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE PIRATES!

I hated their "you know we're here, but can't see us" music a year ago. It creeped me outright, for no good reason, other than it did!

>_>

[Fuzion Phoenix]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE PIRATES!

I hated their "you know we're here, but can't see us" music a year ago. It creeped me outright, for no good reason, other than it did!

>_>

I know, creeped me out.

[turpinator]

I'm just glad they changed it in Prime 3 to a more subtler tone that still gave you that impression, but more of a "I'm gonna stay quiet and out of sight for as long as I can, and if I get caught, to hell with 'em", like the 2-D games were like actually.

[Foozdude]

Indeed. I didn't like how it shifted so drastically in the first two, but in MP3, you're right Turp, they made it a little less of a jump from the two.

Though, I can't see how many people got repeatedly defeated by the Omega Pirate in MP1; I did it on my first try. XD
Though, that Boost Ball guardian from MP2: Echoes... *shudder*

[turpinator]

I totally agree with that damn boost ball guardian. *Shake fist* Xo

[Foozdude]

However, other bosses more than made up for it in that game, like the... Power Bomb Guardian, was it? Where you just needed to bomb the 4 slots to kill it?

[turpinator]

Being hard, or being easy? Because I can't remember for the life of me what exactly the PB guardian was again. Must be easy if that's the case, I guess.

[Foozdude]

I think it was the same boss, but if I'm correct, a real pushover, where there's a plant on a tall tower-like thing, and keeps spamming Power Bombs every now and then, when you're Spider Ball'ing around the room, bombing 4 bomb slots.

[turpinator]

I think it was the same boss, but if I'm correct, a real pushover, where there's a plant on a tall tower-like thing, and keeps spamming Power Bombs every now and then, when you're Spider Ball'ing around the room, bombing 4 bomb slots.
OH! That thing! I hated him!!!! But if I had to do it again I'd probably kick his ass no problem, the first time I fought him was the first time I really used the spiderball tracks at a quick speed.

[Foozdude]

Ya rly.
However, I really loved fighting Meta Ridley, and the Missile Expansion Guardian in MP2 (the one you fight in the room near the beginning where you jump down to see a laboratory-ish area, filled with GF Soldiers).
Those bosses were awesome.

Oh, and has anyone noticed that in Zero Mission, they removed the ability to turn-off abilities, like in Super Metroid?
There's a cheat to activate it once more, but it only works for Beams, and non-Suit expansions (i.e: Power Grip, Hi-Jump Boots, Morph Ball).

Ya rly.
However, I really loved fighting Meta Ridley, and the Missile Expansion Guardian in MP2 (the one you fight in the room near the beginning where you jump down to see a laboratory-ish area, filled with GF Soldiers).
Those bosses were awesome.

Oh, and has anyone noticed that in Zero Mission, they removed the ability to turn-off abilities, like in Super Metroid?
There's a cheat to activate it once more, but it only works for Beams, and non-Suit expansions (i.e: Power Grip, Hi-Jump Boots, Morph Ball).
Sounds cool, but not useful, or IS it?

[Clownman]

The exceptions being the Wave and Ice Beams, which you could only have one or the other. Similair thing with II.

However the only excuse Zero Mission gets is that they didn't allow it in Fusion, so Zero Mission doesn't either.

[Foozdude]

Bah, that sucks.
I really wanted to have it play like another Super Metroid, and I got my hopes up this time, and once more for MP3, when I heard the things "stacked" like in SM.

:\ Ah well.

[turpinator]

Well techically stuff DID stack better than they used to, and pretty ingeniously I might add. They incorporated all the original Prime beams into different weapons and abilities.

[Foozdude]

True, but I still wanted the option of having... say... a Wave Beam only run (as in, no other beams), in Zero Mission, when I bought it.

Though, with the cheat, that can happen. :p

If you hadn't noticed already, I lurv SM. XD

[turpinator]

Me too, in fact I have it as a Wii download. That game kicks all other ass, especially with my deliberate sequence breaking spammage in that game. There are SO many points you can get weapons very early in the game it's funny.

But I do have to admit, I heard that rumor too, and was stoked to play MP3 because of it.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

....
I need to play super metorid.

[turpinator]

....
I need to play super metorid.
Yes, yes you freaking do. In fact, I have yet to finish my copy yet. >_< I've been so preoccupied that I stopped right before the fight with Ridley.

[Foozdude]

FP: That you do. It's probably the longest 2-D Metroid, and ties with maybe MP2 in length.
Well, I'm being generous on the comparison, but it is long. Good long, not bad long. :D

Crocomire FTW. He's my favourite boss from SM, because you don't kill him.
Instead, he kills himself.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Btw There's A Crocmire Glitch In Zm!

[Foozdude]

Btw There's A Crocmire Glitch In Zm!
So I've seen. He was going to be in the game, though they removed him from it in one of the earlier drafts. He has a couple of sprites still left in though.

T'is a shame... :(

[Fuzion Phoenix]

But it involes some very tricky shine sparking.

[Foozdude]

For 100% completion, yes.
For speed-runs, yes.

>_>

But still, sequence breaking is fun.
For example: You can skip the High-Jump boots and kill Kraid. :p
T'was my first, ever sequence break.

Just eliminate 3 Super Missile Blocks, run, and jump low enough to not hit the ceiling, but high enough to cross. It works, on occasion.

[turpinator]

Speaking of completion rate..... I posted an update of Samus's face behind the visor after being corrupted on the other Metroid thread. I'll just post it here as well.

Just a question, how exactly do you get the highest rank medallions (can't remember if it's green or blue) in MP3? I want to see the rest of the art bonuses.

I have a question regarding Ridley in the Prime games: Is(are) the Ridley(s) you encounter supposed to be the original one from Metroid/Zero Mission or are they more of his species or clones?

[Terry von Feledae]

From what I know, the Prime Ridleys are the Metroid-Ridley enhanced with metallic components. I don't know about Super Metroid Ridley, though.

I just asked the Poster of these links if I could post here, and he said yes.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Man Vega, you just owned me.
*Is shot By Samus*
Samus:OWNED!

[Ryo Hazaki]

Word to the wise: Eric Vicarth hates being one-upped.

*Eric shoots FP*

Samus: Now that was just overkill.

Eric: What, the Rocket Launcher was too much?

[Fuzion Phoenix]

*Boots Eric in the Face*
BACK ON TOPIC!

[Terry von Feledae]

I don't like the fact that Metroid Prime steals the other Metroid's fame and even seems to be more popular than those.

Also, in the older Metroids, one of the aspects of the game was that Samus was absolutely on her own and every other creature on the planet was either dead or the enemy. It was one of those things that defined the atmosphere of Metroid games. But it sort of faded away in the newer games.

It is one of those many reasons why Metroid Prime simply doesn't feel like a Metroid game to me. I don't like Metroid Prime at all, honestly.

Edit: Who is Eric Vicarth, anyway? From Metroid Prime?

[Ryo Hazaki]

From my Metroid Fanfic, Metroid: Evolution.

[Terry von Feledae]

Never, ever include Fanfiction-characters in game discussions.

[Clownman]

Let's go to a new subject, if you could remake Metroid II, what would you do?

[Ryo Hazaki]

Make it color, and give it similar features to Zero Mission.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Let's go to a new subject, if you could remake Metroid II, what would you do?
I'd give it ZM graphics, the fusion sound files, and ADD A IT MORE OF A STORYLINE!
Aftera the storyline "Destroy all metroids' got borring.

[Ragekill15]

Thats when Fusion happened.

Fusion was so fun although it got my blood boiling when SA-X was just chilling around waiting for me.

When the vegetation thingy happens and it doesn't leave, that is really ..... whats the word I want to say...?

Destroy all Space Pirates was kinda in a little....

[Ryo Hazaki]

God, I HATED that part.

Espescially running into the SA-X after defeating the Yakuza spider boss with only 15 health left... that will raise the hair on every part of the body.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Best way to deafeat Yakuza.
Hide in the corrner, CROUCHED, when he opens his mouth run under it and fire missles LIKE HELL into his mouth.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Still. Afterwards, SA-X comes in while you're trying to escape to a save room, and completely pwns you.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Hasn't happened to me.
I was alwayse left with about 8 tanks after absorbing the Core X.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Well, I must suck at Fusion, then...

[Ragekill15]

I remember how much I felt like saying " OMG SA-X IS GOING TO UBERPWN TURBO RAPE ME!!!! NOEZ... GREEN RANGER IS NOT EVEN WORTHY!!!! "

Then the powerbomb one wasn't bad but I had like 10 health so when I saw him turn into a ball I ran like hell. Funny thing is the he shot the crap out of me.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

But I loved the sweeeettttt revenge when we got the Plasma.

[Ryo Hazaki]

That's when I first shat myself playig a Metroid game.

[Ragekill15]

XD. When I fought SA-Z I was like " ...... SCREW ATTACK SUPER INVICABLE!!!"

*In battle*

" MINES IS STRONGAH THEN YORZ!!!! "

*Head explodes*

It took 15 or so tries to figure that the screw attack is "invincable".

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Uhhhhggggggg.
I just saw a fan art of a Samus Ridley pair.
A very exsplicit pic!
(No i'm not a perv, I was just surfing a fanart site.)

[Ryo Hazaki]

XD. When I fought SA-Z I was like " ...... SCREW ATTACK SUPER INVICABLE!!!"

*In battle*

" MINES IS STRONGAH THEN YORZ!!!! "

*Head explodes*

Until the final meeting with SA-X. Then it just gets you killed.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Who would Win, the Verdugo's from RE4.
Or the Elite Pirates.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Elite Pirates. the poor Verdugos wouldn't stand a chance.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Elite Pirate have weapons, But the verdugo's are just so F***in' fast, deadly and viscous.

[Ragekill15]

Never played Resident Evil 4 (I wish I had it.... :( )

Seeing how the Space Pirates can shoot friggen lazer beams, *Dr. Evil laugh* I'd go with Elite Pirates.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Hang on, let me get a vid of them.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Think the alien fron 'Alien'

In the end, I think it would turn out like AvP and just be a big brawl with no clear winner.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

Here we go.
Ignore the guy's comentary.
Also, the verdugo is invulnrable to all projectals unlest it is frozen.

[Ryo Hazaki]

Not exactly invincible, it just takes longer to kill him when he's not frozen.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

I hit him, with the Killler 7, all I heard was a bullet ricoheting off of a carapace.

[Ryo Hazaki]

I hit him with the Chicago Typewriter, the Killer 7, the Rocket launcher, the Broken Butterfly, and he dies each time without me needing to freeze him.

Remember, in RE4, it's not what you hit him with, it's where you hit him that counts.

[turpinator]

A. How did this go from a Metroid thread to an RE thread.

B. Where the heck does RE get their wepon names from? Chicago Typewriter............... >_>

[SpeedDEMONzap]

Chicago typewrite was the original name, I believe o.o.

And you can kill him with any high powered magnum or rocket launcher.

Where did the Metroid go? o.o

[Fuzion Phoenix]

If anybody here could recreate Super metroid with the Metroid Prime corrution engien, how awsome would it be?

[Foozdude]

So. Damn. Awesome.

I mean, even Spore Spawn would be fun to beat like that!

Oh wait, Crocomire + 3-D = Lurv.
Lots of Lurv.

[Fuzion Phoenix]

But how ugly would Dragyon be?
