This movie is faster than the old one, by maybe about 80 seconds (inside of the game-time, not 'Length').
'Movie length' is not short, because I opened the 'equipment menu' more than in the old version.
Notes
This is my 5th movie of Super Metroid of 'Any% timeattack' (except for the '14%' version).
I tried to throw away preconceptions.
I tested many cases, many patterns, again and again...
And now, I think "clear time 00:26" is impossibility...
Thanks for all people who advised me something!
Lastly, I really hope that you can enjoy this movie!
If you have a question, please write in easy English.(^_^;)
Bisqwit: I edited this text a little for readability.
This was fantastic, as we've started to expect from you. I don't understand how you can make a 31000 rerecords movie in so little time.
Yes vote. If it wasn't obvious already.

Thanks your voting,and I talk about rerecords.
1st - 5715times(00:33- ClearTime)
2nd - 10498times(00:31)
3rd - 15432times(00:30)
4th - 24522times(00:28)
** - 25251times(14%)
5th - 31039times(00:27 - This time)
Maybe it is by practice, I think.
Umm, but ,is '31039times' little?(^_^;)
I was thinking of rewriting that sentence, because I thought maybe it was hard to understand. But I didn't, sorry.
>is '31039times' little?
No, it is a lot! I meant: it is strange that you can do a new movie in such short time, with so many rerecords.
For comparison, my Kid Chameleon movie has 15000 rerecords, and I've worked on it for more than a month. Your movie has double amount of rerecords and was made in only two weeks, or maybe less.
Maybe too quickly... I haven't watched the movie yet, but I think not all the menu switches are necessary, and/or they could be played faster. Even if they don't affect the "completion time", the player should aim playing the menu control perfectly.
Also, Bladegash mentioned that a savestate was used again. So actually the 'movie length' in this movie is slower than the currently published version. (But this isn't a reason to reject it, because it is still a more impressive result.)

That makes me feel kinda dumb since I never use "Mr" or "Mrs". I apologize for that Mr. Terimakasih. I hve one question though.
I haven't compared your run with Frenoms that much but someone just brought it to my attention (and it might have been discussed already?). You collect 24% of the items while Frenom only takes 23%. What extra item do you collect? Is it skipable?
Anyhows, im still more then impressed of your efforts and really really like what you have done to Super Metroid!
Thanks again Mr.
>Maybe too quickly... I haven't watched the movie yet, but I think not all the menu switches are necessary, and/or they could be played faster. Even if they don't affect the "completion time", the player should aim playing the menu control perfectly.
I agree with the last sentence but I don't know enough about the menues to be able to tell.
>Also, Bladegash mentioned that a savestate was used again. So actually the 'movie length' in this movie is slower than the currently published version. (But this isn't a reason to reject it, because it is still a more impressive result.)
Hm, are you sure? There is a save, but it's at slot C and shouldn't affect anything. This movie starts from an empty slot and plays the demo like it should, so I don't see how the actual movie length could be slower. Both the SMV time and ingame timer are lower than the last submission.
I was thinking of rewriting that sentence, because I thought maybe it was hard to understand. But I didn't, sorry.
No problem, you don't need to say 'sorry' to me.(^_^)
>it is strange that you can do a new movie in such short time, with so many rerecords.
Oh, I see. I misunderstood about "short"...
Umm,is it so strange...?
For me, I strange that why you(many people) feel 'strange'...
Another Words : I wonder that why you think so.

Why you can judge the movie, when you haven't watched the movie...?
And which menu switches are not necessary?

I can understand this meaning.
But, I said in SuperMetroid-Thread "I can't understand about 'BackSlush-Key's meaning.' "
I don't know it ,still now. So, I can't improve menu-speed...

Where is Mr.Bladegash's comments...? (Is it Private Massage?)
What does "savestate" mean?
I think that it is "Savedata", it is not "Savestate".
Is "Savedata" bad?
If it is bad, please tell me why it is bad...
And, I can't understand that why "slower" by savestate(savedata)?
Sorry about my many questions.

Oh, I have never thought about myself! (^_^;)
I saw some thread-boards of this site, but people didn't use "Mr." or "Mrs.".
So, I think that not using "Mr." is no problem.
So, you have no need to say 'sorry' to me, and you have no need to add "Mr." to me.
"Terimakasih" or "Terima" or "Teri" or... All OK.(^_^)

Ok, I check up it. But please give me a time.
You said to me many happy impressions, thank you!
(Edit)
Sorry my mistake...
I forgot , I wanted to say thank you to Mr.schneelocke!

Sorry for accusing. I am just worried. :)
I can be wrong, but I want to know, if you have optimized the menu access.

Backslash is 「 \ 」 (not blackslush, slush means 泥濘 ^^;)
When snes9x is at pause, press \ to play 1 frame. Press \ again to play 1 frame more. and so on. This way, you can be super precise.
If you have \ and it does not work, try ¥ instead.

I understand. I didn't know how-to,but sorry.
>Backslash
Thanks! Now I can use it.
(I have not known this part. [When snes9x is at pause])

Same thing.
I don't think so.
"Savedata of game(*.srm)" is just exsist, it have no influence.
What did effect to this movie?
I didn't any 'Cheat-Code' etc.
And I couldn't 'Cheat', because I started from riset, and started blank-slot.
I know that if I made the movie with 'Cheat-Code', nobody can see the movie.
(Everybody can't see the movie.)
"Savestate"(Shift+F1-F9) is 'a State of game-scene'.
If someone use 'Cheat-Code', and after , he made 'Savestate', it is dishonesty.
Because, only this case, 'Cheat-Code' can work normal in movie-files.
Do you know the game "Actraiser"?
This game has "Special-Mode".
"Special-Mode" need "Completed Savedata", doesn't it?
If 'Savedata' and 'Savestate' are same,and If these are bad, nobody can make(and submit) Special-Mode-Movie,I think.
Because they can't have "savedata".
I'm wrong...?
To Mr.Bladegash
If you have some dissatisfactions, tell me directly...
To Mr.Walker Boh
I checked up.
Mr.Frenom got 'Missile-tank' 1 frequent.
Mr.Frenom didn't get 'SuperMissile-tank' about 1.
Mr.Frenom didn't get 'Energy-Tank' about 1.
Totally, his item% is 1% less than my movie.
I can't answer whick way is the best, sorry.

I believe the extra item collected was the Energy Tank after Ridley. This was, if I may offer a guess, to refill the tanks and allow for a faster escape of Ridley's lair using Speed Booster/Shine Spark.
The best Japanese word I know to describe this run: スゲ！
I do have questions:
[1] Why did you turn off Hi-Jump Boots?
[2] Why did you turn off some beams before boss battles?
[3] What happened after you defeated Draygon? Samus turned blue?
