24? You playing on hard mode? Good luck. The way the guy at AGDQ played the fight is actually really easy to do, it just looks harder than it is.

Yeah its hard mode. I'll take a look at that run to steal some strats.

Low% mother brain was a nightmare but I don't think any of the rest of the game should pose a problem, since Hard mode ship is basically identical to low% ship where you can't ever get hit

I'm doing 14% mother brain (on normal) and it sucks, I really want to go back to pick up Screw Attack for my last item except I think that room is probably the furthest possible distance away

I don't understand how he makes it so Ridley doesn't use the tail move. How lenient is the safe spot between his feet? sometimes I feel the tail move just happens and I don't know why.

I think 2 or 3 times he just pulled the tail move out and I was hosed and I wasn't totally sure what triggered it. I think I may have moved too far away from his body to jump out and grab a missile pick up so it may have been that

I believe the Ridley trick works because in that position he always wants to go into a little swoop to try to grab Samus and pick her up (and fails). This is my hunch based on no research nor reverse engineering nor pixel/frame counting etc, but it just sorta seems like that's what happens based on what he does when I mess it up. Too far in front of him, his swoop+grab succeeds; too far behind him, he tries a different move instead (often the tail swipe). His fireballs are probably just on a random timer and when it's up he does those regardless of what else is going on.

I haven't played this since it came out and I forgot how hard it owns. I'm pretty happy with how I did for my first try, but I'll probably play it again soon.

How come Metroid has to fight that dragon Ripley so many drat times. Once or twice okay.,.but it's every drat game. Find a new boss.

By my count she fights the thing 10 times in 9 games. Haven't played Pinball or Hunters, but the only classic Metroid game Ridley isn't in is II.

Prime 2 has 17 bosses and zero ridleys. That's why it's my fave prime.

By my count she only fights him twice (not counting Other M because I didn't play it). The Ridley fight in Zero Mission and the original are the same event, then he comes back in Super Metroid. All the other times are actually Meta-Ridley, or Omega-Ridley, or an unfinished robot Ridley, or X parasites masquerading as Ridley.

edit wait three times, counting Ceres Station

ridley isnt in hunters, all the bosses are other bounty hunters, hence the name: hunters

If Ridley was in, they'd have to call it Hunted, because he is hunted by the bounty hunter, Samus.
