AM2R Normal 5% in 1:23:16 RTA 50:26 IGT [with timestamps]
7This is my first finished run of 5% aka Low% No blinks, this category was born thanks to the discovery of the Gravitt zip in the industrial complex and the Gamma clip.
Gamma Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1eYMV6UL_w
A double frame perfect glitch, requires to hit a gamma at the same time he grabs you but he has to release her at a point where Samus can clip outside the wall with the spiderball.
If the clip was not effective she is going to clip back inbounds but if it was too further, she straight up falls to the void, crashing the game, unresponsive because she doesn't fall so we can't control her until she hits the ground.
So it’s like a 70/20/10
Gravitt zip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRvqHlK-dJM
A faster way to get out of bounds but if not done properly, the game crashes so for RTA we use the G-Clip to avoid losing 20 minutes of gameplay for every try.
The gravitt activates the solids of the wall of the other side of the red torizo door in the industrial complex, that’s why we can zip there.
So we, Naatiska and myself, started routing this category and ended up with Bombs, Spider Ball, Gravity suit and Ice beam as the items to be collected.
Bombs to access the first areas, Spider ball to navigate while being out of bounds and prevents getting stuck inside walls.
Gravity suit replaces speed booster or the super missile for the Flooded Temple and allows the usage of the G-Clip while being underwater.
Ice Beam, for the meboid barriers and the larvae metroids at the end
The route is like this: bombs, spider ball then clear areas 1 and 2, save in Industrial complex (in case of failing zip or Gamma-Clip), perform G-Clip on the gamma to the right of the complex (this is safer than the zip but requires luck and a frame perfect missile shot), get to A5's warp room, activate emp ball to the left then get gravity suit, gamma clip in dual gammas to get ice beam, go back to dual gammas through the gravity section, perform G-Clip again and get back inbounds once you crossed the big lava room in A6 (this avoids 3 additional blind bomb jumping sections), save in nest (in case of failing the jump for the skip), perform nest skip, get back inbounds once you reach the room before the waterfalls. Save at gen labs, kill larvae, save, perform queen skip.
