Bridge Skip is possibly the very first large skip ever discovered for a video game. I would classify it as a multi boss skip or final area bypass. This strategy has existed for 30 plus years and has barely changed in the last decade and a half. Absolutely amazing.

It’s amazing how the first run was able to work smoothly with no issues, then the any% had everything go wrong with getting the run to work.

Gotta love the "First try!" at the timer at 39:12

Always nice to see DwangoAC and TASbot show up at a GDQ event. Always a good time.

The audio is a bit quiet on this one, really had to boost up volume to hear it

Came to say the same thing, their last several uploads have been the same way and even with my bluetooth speaker I can't hear them at all at work

i would say it's very quiet

Tasbot is _adorable!_ i need to give it a hug Also, quote from Gamechamp3000: ""Metroid for Nintendo Entertainment System" for Nintendo Entertainment System is programmed on duct tape."

1st run: Metroid all items 2nd run: Metroid all errors

This made me laugh, heh - yeah, I had some really bad luck there that second time, I saw things I hadn't even seen in practice even though we knew there was a chance it could fail if I inserted the cartridge wrong

Always like me some Metroid content, thanks guys!

Pretty cool, always love the TAS runs.

All the videos of the Express are so quiet... really blast your ears out if anything autoplays after.

TASBot Tourian is always a wonderful thing to behold.

Loved Metroid as a kid, but could never beat it. All the illusion walls and fake death pits had me trapped in the main overworld area for years.

Are all the vods for GDQX really quite for anyone else? i have my volume maxed in browser AND on my headset and its barely normal sounding.

Love the energy Brossentia brought to this! Shows that you don't always need all experts on the couch.

Let's go TASBot!

Being low on health at all times is just the normal Metroid NES experience

Always love to see TASBot.

Nice run, and very interesting tidbit about uninitialized memory. (It's hard to believe that isn't a bug. One of the most basic things software developers are supposed to learn is to _always_ initialize variables, unless there's some really good reason that can't be done (shared memory controlled by the OS, or memory-mapped I/O, for example). Not doing so is a huge source of bugs and security vulnerabilities.) Also, I just love how accurate KZread is about what game is being featured. /s

The extra energy tanks were probably there to refill before mother brain. I save the one in brinstar that you need the long jump for refill before coming to Tourian. The two ice beams though, I only knew the one as a kid only knew the one in norfair.

Favourite part of any GDQ event!

So many missed opportunities to call door warps "dorps."

Awesome run! Plz normalize volume though... this video is -26.6 dB and should be more like ... -1. So it's hard to hear even at full volume.

Nothing like watching Skynet beat Metroid.

There's SO MUCH SWAG going on in this TAS that I'm surprised @DwangoAC wasn't pointing it out!

I'm a simple man. I see TASBot, I click

Why is it so quiet? Other than that, cool vid.

yep, or some reason, it got uploaded very quite if you look at "stats for nerds" you will see the DB is at "content loudness -26.5dB" when a normal video is about -5dB to +0dB

Great job by the couch/chairs :P Love this game, fun watching it get destroyed

Mega Man 2's best track is Wily zones 1 & 2

wasn't expecting the run to start with nes gore

Doesn't the low health beep costs cpu cycles and frames?

Yes... but also no. Actual NES hardware assigns audio and video to two different processors, and the audio processing unit (APU), does not suffer the same performance penalty, for reasons that can't really be explained briefly here. The Tl:Dr is that, no, audio can't cause lag.

Is it just me, or is the audio awfully quiet?

7:35 He just said we should be able to see the controller inputs? Where is it? I'm not seeing a controller display on the screen. Is it cut off, like on the side or part of the chat replay or something?

wily castle 1 best mm 2 music

Woohoo more tasbot

TASbot? Metroid? Well that’s an automatic click from me.

Tasbot is always a delight❤️

Ho hell yeah!!!

This vod is very quiet.

Beat it with R.O.B. the robot or the TAS time shouldn’t count. :)

why is this video so quiet with my volume at max

Volume is very low.

Very epic

Audio is extremely quiet

These uploads are super quiet

Notice me, TASBot-senpai

Because Metroid for the Nintendo entertainment system was programmed using duct tape!

Classic TAS; all the right kinds of broken 😄 ...though some of these strats are outdated

It's ok I don't think anyone knows the same of the enemies

35:05 - Oh yeah, Samus and Peach both are natural brunettes. They both dye their hair. Edit: Also, first, somehow.

The video is so quiet :(

video way to quiet

Hmmmm

I could do that

Am I first?!?! Tasbot is king!

I had to skim the video to make sure this wasn't one of those 'this is totally a tas of the game guys, oh no we're really playing tetris and talking to the audience in real time you can totally do this yourselves players with precision inputs' runs.

Hi! It sounds like you don't like ACE runs, and that's okay. In all recent events we've been upfront about ACE content, and we've also been doing runs like this that are just normal TAS runs with commentary. We'll be doing Super Metroid this way in January, so have no fear tuning in. There's a lot of folks with a lot of different tastes out there, and that's fine - my goal is to provide a variety of entertaining TAS content for charitable causes.

@@dwangoACI on the other hand LOVE these vids, it’s amazing to see what the community can do to really push the boundaries thank to ACE and being creative with these limits - something that only a TAS can deliver! And, to me personally, it fits perfectly into the spirit of GDQ just as well! In any way, thank you so so much for your work and am really happy to see the wide variety of TAS represented on the GDQ as well, I’m so looking forward to AGDQ 24 ☺️

First!

First!! 😅

TAS at GDQ just feels wrong, still cool though

"why are there two ice beams" because the ice beam and wave beam replace eachother instead of stacking or being selectable once obtained and you all but require the ice beam for Norfair; if you got the first ice beam then the wave beam, the other ice beam exists so you're not screwed the powerups do not respawn if you get the other one, and IIRC it even remembers in your password
