He even looks directly into the camera and says even at full power [Samus] cannot withstand the EMMIs.

i got weird vibes about that in Fusion and with Other-M and this i see my instincts were correct.

How did he look into the camera when he has no eyes. Also no clue what Kinabaku bi is.

It's the sort of bondage term whose casual use tells you a lot more about the speaker than about what they're saying.

For the lightning beetle, how do I dodge the seeker shots? Haven't found a way to do it reliably and they attrition me down.

It’s easier to avoid if your not trying to free aim at the same time. Heavily just recommend jump and shoot plus missiles on it while largely ignoring free sim.

I don't play a lot of Switch games, do they all have such long loading times like the ones to get from area to area?

In the Switch settings menu, you can remap any button on a controller to be another button, even assigning one input to multiple buttons.

The video is showing Joy-Cons, but this also works for Pro Controllers and I believe any other controller that's accepted.

A trick to make the fight way easier is to start up a speed booster charge outside the boss room, hold the charge, and then just shinespark straight upwards into it as it flies in. It doesn't kill but it does a shitload of damage.

Blaziken386 posted:

has anyone figured out the timing for the EMMI counters? like, is there a specific tell I'm not seeing?

I've done it once, on accident.

It is basically right before the flash. If you see the flash and haven't pressed the button by then, it's too late. So you have to predict them instead of entirely react to them, and they have different possible timings depending on the animation they use.

Generally don't rely on that and just haul rear end to the exit if possible.

The best part of ADAM is that it's not even the AI's original name, Samus just named it that because it's a cold, emotionless, and bossy machine :haw:

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from
Played all the way through getting the Speed Boost. Overall it's refreshing to actually have a good metroid release since like... 2008. This game is a lot of fun and the boss fights have already gotten a little challenging. The game feels really fast paced, a lot more than i'm used to from a metroidvania. It does also seem to block off old areas rather liberally so it kind of seems like there isn't really anywhere to go but forward (with the occasional side path for missiles or energy tanks). I do hope there gets to be a point where I can just wander around and any upgrades I've missed, because otherwise i'm going to get really tedious when exploring content to make sure I don't miss anything.

I enjoy the E.M.M.I sequences. I enjoy how robotic ADAM's speech sounds when giving you advice "You do not stand a chance at full power", stuff like that.. A lot of the cutscenes look like they were designed by fans of Samus, so it's awesome to see her Dodging Kraid spikes like it's absolutely nothing and not mincing words with it..

Alright I timed it; 10 seconds from stepping on a platform to getting the prompt asking if you want to go to the next area which isn't loading anything, just long for no reason. 39 seconds after hitting A on the prompt and waiting for all the animation to finish before I can move. I just got this Switch last year but no one else seems to have long load times so I wonder if mine has a problem.

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
During the first boss when it turns around and the camera zooms into the gap you're meant to slide under, who else's first instinct was "shoot that thing"?

I really liked the end of that fight how Samus nonchalantly charges her beam in the background before delivering the killing blow.

I think this is pretty normal. I do find some of the machinery animations for saving and stuff, while very cool looking, feel slightly too long.

30-40 seconds sounds about right for loading a new area. That said since the areas themselves are completely seamless, I don't find it too bad except when you do a bunch of transitions in quick succession like when you first go through a teleportal.

You can only wall jump off a spin jump, so you have to be moving left or right as you jump. Neutral jumping won't work.
