raocow's talkhaus

Did you find the hidden door behind the mass of purple square blocks in the elevator room? The hint about the pirates takes place beyond there.

raocow, I have a very important hint to give you only because I think you might have a lot of trouble finding this. I know I did because it's pretty well unmarked. It's a required thing so yeah.

The group of red Space Pirates are a greedy bunch.

Hope it helps.

Ahem, from your Youtube comments on SCW 08:

"Doomberg says: raocow is using save states again? Oh wow your videos are good again. I am pleased, thank you sir."

raocow your videos are horrible unless you play them illegitimately and you should go shave a radish in shame.

I love the mentality of these people. I shall now explain using Time Traveler as an example because they know how to deal with sarcasm and they like. "Time Traveler, I hate you videos and to show how much i hate them i will now take timeout of my day to continually downvote your video and leave...

Either the Super Metroid Redesign LP by axeil or the Sonic 2006 LP by pokecapn because both were just hilarious LPs and should be viewed by everyone.

Alright then. Well, graphics are among the easier things to change in the game but even then they can be annoying if you haven't taken the time to repoint the graphic and palette data to free space in the rom so that you don't accidentally overwrite something when you try and get too fancy with them...

I say yes because there truly isn't a good place to put these at the moment. I only put my thread in here because I saw Kristian's thread. As for it being a mini-smwcentral, I don't think it's much of a thing to worry about since it seems like this would be more of a showoff forum. Plus, most people...

Double bomb jumping: (Applies to ALL metroid games with the morphball) Lay bomb. Just before bomb blows up, lay another. As you are launched by the first, lay a bomb at the peak of your jump. ??? PROFIT This is wrong for Super Metroid. The timing is to lay one bomb, then lay a second bomb as soon a...

How far have you managed to get in Spelunky? I managed to get to blue-groundy land (level 9) twice now. That tunnel shortcut guy ain't cheap! He wants 200K for a passage to it!

Man raocow you're like the most persistent person ever. I have no clue how you managed to get in that bubble tunnel and then stay there for a minute! :lol: And to use a save station you need to stop going bonkers and stand still on the center of the platform. And yes there's something in the elevato...

Wow, this game hides its secrets so well, i don´t even know where the main items are. In order to get Power Bombs, i had to use techniques like walljumping, infinite bomb jumping and mockballing. This is gonna be interesting in later episodes! I also hope that you figure stuff out so you can help m...

Ah so I have to basically alert you to whatever two days in advance if I want to make sure you see it in time. I can do that.

The game is all glitched up after the space colony part.

Aka "Super Metroid (JU) [!].smc"

What time do you record the next day's episodes by? I'm always unsure if I'm getting on early enough if I ever have something to tell you in time for the next day's videos like when I was letting you know about secret exits in the SMWRs.

I wondered if that's what he meant by them. I'm now half tempted to sprite up a hamburger in place of the power bomb icon.

raocow: hamburger blocks?

TNB: No. Underwater Walljumping is near-impossible in hacks that aren't Redesign. You get no height off the walls.

I figured I'll show off my hack here as well, maybe get a few people outside of M2K2 interested. So, Volta is my hack of Super Metroid. My goal in creating it is to keep things close to SM's traditional roots. I've been designing the game with this idea in mind: "What if Super Metroid took plac...

For you it might be but a lot of people have trouble with it. I remember when Redesign was released a similar thing happened when they discovered they needed to learn how to do a mid-air morph. Some got it right away, others struggled for hours. Same thing here. And actually, I play with a keyboard ...

If you haven't figured out walljump mechanics yet, the way to do it is to jump at a wall and then press the opposite direction and hit jump right after doing that. There should be a Samus frame of her looking like she's crouching against the wall, and if you hit jump anytime during this frame, she'l...

I specifically didn't bring up Redesign when mentioning SM hacks because of the fact that Axeil already did it and did it awesomely, and that we don't want poor raocow to go mad, do we? (Aka, I thought it would probably be a bit much for him in terms of difficulty.)

There's no point in feeding the trolls.

I'd like to remind skeptics that this is one of the first full hacks of Super Metroid (meaning that rooms have been resized and moved around instead of using the original map layout) and so it's obviously not going to look and feel terribly different from the original. Yes, it's similar as of now, b...

Return of the stupid horse! And wow I forgot about puzzles like that. I know they're even trickier later on.

Super Metroid starts out slowly, with all the enemies gone until you get morph ball and missiles so if you think it's boring thus far, it's probably just the way the beginning of the game is set up. I have a feeling that this game is going to have a lot of random raocowisms seeing as Metroid games a...

You say you have a cane, but would you want a cane-sword just to have one?
