Low% Ice | Lower Norfair | WRITG | 3-Cycle (update) and Basic Backups
1(check the first version if you haven't already, it contains details about the strat that I will not repeat here. https://youtu.be/bpHHraqiLyE )
Two things were added in this update:
(1) Stashiocat's earlier jump 0:03. This saves half a second and isn't as scary as it looks. I like to buffer the jump button.
(2) a unmorph followed by aim-down (or down-back, thanks stashio) at the very top, after laying the power bomb 0:05. I find that this gives you a better chance of not getting hit by the 3rd pirate, making that wall jump more lenient.
The times I get are high 16s or low 17s, but you can lower that with better movement and some 15 less lag frames that I don't really understand. Maybe a 15.xx? Overall, the 3-cycle saves 3~4 seconds and saves 1 super, at the expanse of 3 missiles.
The two extra clips are two very basic backups: 0:23 one for when you miss the bomb placement,
0:44 the other for when you miss the power bomb (ofc other things can go wrong that I did not cover).
Important in these backups is to bait all three pirates to the left wall so that you can later fall without getting hit by them. I do this by waiting at the bottom for the 1st pirate to start jumping to the left and by doing lazy wall jumps so pirates 2 and 3 have time to see Samus and start jumping. After this, all three will be synched.
