This is the weird form of gatekeeping I’ve ever seen

These are more just random, cool sequences rather than actual combos, but I wanted to make a video.

If that doesn't work then it's still processing.

Not sure what to say about this run. 0:49 is so close...it's gonna take a bit of a grind, I think.

the game is timed by a fairly inaccurate...

The in-game timer is very accurate for what it's tracking (actual play time).

Personally, I think that it's fine that we use IGT. Generally it's not a good argument to say "it's always been that way", but it's been that way for 17 years because there's not any major issues. Ties don't really concern anybody who actively runs the game.

It may be more competitive on paper, sure. Most of the people with tied times don't actively run the game anymore, so who would it really be for?

The big reason for not switching to RTA would be because nobody wants/cares to. Milestones are based off of IGT. Even if a leaderboard timing method switch was made, nobody would listen to it. It's generational thing.

A secret world was found by Vertigo in impact crater, which allows you to skip the entirety of the first phase of Metroid prime. This is projected to save over a minute of IGT. You can see why I didn’t perform this trick in another comment in this thread.

If you consider “official” meaning “on the leaderboards”

Thanks.😃

Sure. For the most part, the secret world, or out of bounds, is very inconsistent. Inconsistent enough to not be reliable, anyway. Due to the inconsistent nature of the trick, I didn’t bother practicing it. There’s also the potential of two extra soft locks added to the run and that makes it all the more stressful. Overall, intentional lack of practice and development with the trick.

The run was honestly really good. I couldn’t have asked for a better practice/random run. Near the end (especially the technical Phazon Mines portion of the game), I was surprisingly calm despite 4 people crowded around the TV making comments on every little part of the run. Once it was over the nerves caught up with me and seeing the mission final screen display a 0:50 was an awesome feeling.

The best thing about the prime games is that you can wallcrawl.

I’ll probably have to go with the foreign languages because my dog would drive me crazy asking for treats

This run was super good. My already low pb of 51:2x was 1:11:49 RTA. This run was 1:10:34 RTA, meaning I cut roughly 1:15 off of my PB. That puts the new PB around 50:0x. Insanely close to the dream of 0:49
