http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/S...horterDistance <-- Pay really close attention to that image of Samus, that's when you want to tap run. having run held on that frame tricks the game into thinking you're gaining speed. it ticks 4 times so if you have run pressed on those specific frames 4 times you'll turn blue. you can walk then press run a little bit later (read: on that magic frame) and that'll be good enough for anything you need to do in any%. learning shorter charges of course helps at a high level of play.
fast/optimal walljumping.
shinesparking Draygon takes some good practice but manipulating Ridley is the easiest thing to do once you understand his AI. Here's a video i made that looks into his AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBrbkd8zico
Pressing down just once right out of a walljump will instantly morph samus so long as you have jump held down. retry this trick (alcatraz) with this in mind and it should be much easier.
to damage boost you face the opposite direction you want to travel in, take damage and right after getting hit you hit the direction you want to go with jump held down. after you take damage you have 4 frames to dboost so it's pretty lenient, though each boost has sort of a different outcome.

Quick shine sparks. How the hell do you do this? Couldn't get the one in norfair...not even CLOSE. Same with Draygon.
Maridia shine spark before boss...how is this possible? Lmao
Draygon and Ridley...man. I know Phantoon is considered the worst because of RNG but technically speaking he wasn't bad. Even I killed him pretty fast and I SUCK. Those bosses though. Save states galore. Shine sparking Draygon and manipulating Ridley are 100x harder than they look in runs.
Rest was OK. Mostly me botching shit that doesn't look that hard in runs (omg the wall jump up into ball after you get bombs...100+ tries for sure).
Everything is literally 1000x harder than people like Zoast make it look. I couldn't even figure out how to do the damage boost thing where you take a hit to get a speed boost in the air.
x RTA, still haven't calculated In-Game time) and will try and sub 30 for sure.
