Currently watching Oatsngoats route Dread for Speedrunning. Holy shit, what you can with Speed Booster is nutty such as Morph Ball mid jump, can land and keep your speed boost going in Morph Ball, change while still on the ground and keep the Speed Booster going. The fact that Ballsparking is back from Zero Mission makes me really happy.
I don't think this is a spoiler but I'll hide it just in case, you can Melee Counter while sliding AND while in Morph Ball. Like, Melee Counter instantly changes Samus out of Morph Ball and does a Guile-like Flash Kick.

Yeah, this channel has been uploading sequence breaks, definitely dev intended too, especially the

Are you saying that RavenBeak durability scales with EMMI durability?

I would argue so, yes.
Am I correct in assuming that Raven Beak is the most powerful Metroid character to date then? Aside from Post-Dread Samus of course.

Is animus really a character though?
And I meant like, in the games.

Been thinking, Samus destroying the grapple blocks via pull strength could definitely serve as an upgrade to LS. It's done in a motion that scales to LS, obviously, and she shatters what is essentially a few cubic meters of solid alien steel. Shit's definitely Class M.
(Her pulling the steel blocks, like the big ones might be, it's only Class K weight, but once you factor in the speed at which she pulls it, it might hit Class M).
Definitely gonna do the latter after I'm done with my current things, but I'll look into the former as that's probably gonna get drastically higher yields.

If we wanna highball, let's argue she has stellar lifting strength via Darkburst functioning like a black hole and it's stored in her cannon.

I agree if we're using RavenBeak's shields. Without it, I don't think his durability scales to EMMI levels.
I'm still gushing over how badass RavenBeak was. Coolest metroid character by far.

I think that’s what the game implies, since he literally calls you the strongest Metroid while him being the one to straight up overpower you.
It’s quite a decent boost in power.
- 31,462

Well, at least excluding the temporary powers ups and villains we see in the Prime trilogy, I'd agree we Dread should logically have the strongest villain and strongest Samus suit yet.

We know for a fact end of Metroid Dread is a lot stronger than Metroid Queen, the Fusion Omega Metroid, end of Metroid Fusion Samus (Who is basically end of Super Metroid Samus + the ability to absorb X viruses). And could pretty much solo an army of SA-X's.

I mean yeah, the Omega Metroid literally One-Shot SA-X and could One-Shot each of you're health bars after you absorbed SA-X and now Samus is stated to be stronger than that? That's a hell of an upgrade.

Man, I love how sequence breaking is heavily encouraged in this game.

It ain’t a proper Metroid game if you can’t do that.

I love it, and the fact that the game rewards you with different boss killing methods and cutscenes for it makes for good replay-abilityIt ain’t a proper Metroid game if you can’t do that.

Should someone make some sort of Metroid Dread spoiler discussion thread or just wait another week to discuss that stuff here?

Metroid Dread has by far the best debut in Japan for the entire series, selling almost twice as much as the second best debut and almost as much the entire Prime trilogy debuts combined.

Yes, the Switch is basically turning a lot of game series commonly seen and/or expected to be cult classics, and turning them into part of the mainstream lineup.

So we've been hearing nebulous vague accounts throughout the series of how overwhelmingly powerful and threatening the Chozo were as a warrior race.
Boy do they live up to the hype.

Are we still supposed to be using Spoiler Tabs?
If so then
If so then
What in the **** are we gonna call that shit Samus does at the very end of the game?
- 4,498

Elaborate on what that shit is.
Do you mean the energy drain on Raven Beak? Because if so that's just Energy Absorption and Technology Manip since she also seemed to cause the space station to crash by doing so. Whether by draining it or just interference from her abilities.

No, I mean
the ******* Rage Transformation suit she uses to absolutely shatter his armor and then proceed to take his laser beam thing that then Obliterates his X-Parasite Infected Self right afterwords.
- 4,498
- 1,117
I mean it just seems like a really good rage boost and vastly improved weaponry, Absorption, and the aforementioned possible tech manip
Also why are your spoilers tabs but mine are blurs?
XSOULOFCINDERX
They/Them- 21,382

I mean the Laser she gets is straight up the same one he uses so I'm starting to think she can actually steal abilities now as long as she can Drain them for long enough. As for the Tabs thing, I have no ******* clue how to do the blurry shit.
- 4,498
- 1,117
Looking at the source code, it seems like we're doing the same thing. It's just doing different stuff for some reason
Also I totally didn't notice that it was his laser. Cool.

I got the impression that getting the Hyper Beam was also from getting the Metroid Suit/Metroid DNA going out of control. If Samus stole Raven Beak's Hyper Beam (assuming that's what he had) then wouldn't Samus be able to still use Missiles? The description of the Hyper Beam during the escape says “Samus unleashes her latent power, causing all Arm Cannon abilities to combine into a devastating beam capable of destroying anything in its path." This includes Missiles (and seemingly Aeion Abilities since Samus can't Flash Shift or anything despite not being Arm Canon abilities) were combined to create the Hyper Beam. The Metroid Suit/Hyper Beam are powers Samus can achieve on her own (Metroid Dread goes full anime at the end so the Metroid Suit/Hyper Beam is basically Super Saiyan isn't it? Activated by rage/the pain of loss) since if she could steal Raven Beak's abilities she'd get more than just the Hyper Beam considering Raven Beak had a LOT of other abilities like creating a miniature sun and Shinesparking out of nowhere.
