It took me forever to realize I needed to power bomb the glass tube. The only part of Super Metroid that I had trouble with.

This is at least fixed by the control freak patch.

>>256312030

You know what, I'll agree OP. Every game has to have a worst part.

First time I was down there as a kid, it took me a bit to learn how to wall jump consistently. Then a bit longer to get all the way to the top instead of settling for the middle.

Can't think of another point as low. Even getting lost in Maridia is fun because you at least get to fight and explore.

Same for me. Unlike the walljumping, pretty much nothing in the game indicates that this is possible. I'm pretty sure I figured it out by accident.

I guess you can't shinespark for shit either.

>>256317562
It actually gives you hint, in a very subtle way.
There's a broken glass tube in Maridia before the game forces you to go back in Brinstar next to the other tube.

>>256316834
That's a TAS, isn't it? Doing things like flipping slightly backwards into an attack you know already will be there to gain a small bump forward make it scream it, and shooting foes while inside of them makes it clear.

Is there even a single part of the game where you need the shinespark jump the Dachora teaches you?

There are a couple of items which cannot be obtained otherwise.

>>256318165
Damageboosting isn't strictly TAS.
Folks like Zoast abuse it to high hell and beyond.

The precision on some of the shots while walljumping does seem to be indicative of it being a TAS, though.

>>256312030
I figured out how to wall jump on my own, but yeah, it's probably the least fun part of the game, in that wall jumping just isn't very much fun regardless of whether you can do it or not. Of course, Super Metroid is so good that its worst part is still not all that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Also, what's up with the idea that the only reason somebody wouldn't like a part of a game is that it's too hard? It's entirely possible to hate a part because it's tedious or boring, not difficult.

>>256322685
That was what made me decide to try blowing it up. It just didn't seem likely they'd put stuff there that you couldn't interact with.

>>256315116
I could never get good at escaping the quicksand in Maridia. That might be more of a personal failing though.

Why are people so bad at critical thinking?
I beat this game when I was fucking 7. Just a lower middle class black kid with no friends that lived to watch Toonami and play video games. Now, suddenly the world got an IQ nerf in the new generation patch. It's frustrating that my brain skips the trivial nonsense and gets to the solution where everybody else struggles with it daily.

There is no such thing as something being at one state through an entire game/movie/book if it's well made. It's supposed to fluctuate from highpoints scale down then back up again you're just taken aback because you have more to learn after getting the game down mere hours ago so the learning is something you're not willing to slow down for.

Maridia was far more annoying.

You dumb

some emulators do weird stuff with the wall jump, that's why people have trouble. if you go back and play it on snes it just werks, but emulated it can be kinda wonky.

>>256315116
That's not true. It has very very few flaws.

I guess my taste is just different, the music makes that atmosphere which I love. And having to deal with quicksand and confusing level design is the challenge of the whole thing. This is a game about exploration after all, but I understand that people draw the line at some things.

>>256325096
The problem is that its all just really annoying to deal with
its not that bad if you know what you are doing but things like the sand pushing you down in the sand segmants and parts of the level where you almost have to know where to shoot the grappling hook make it incredibly irritating to go through for most people on early playthroughs

Huh, I swore that when I replayed the game, I couldn't get it to work inside, hence you can't get into Maridia early since the tube is well before that segment of the game, maybe I was just doing it wrong tho.

its a really stupid idea to get in there early unless you are good at sequence breaking but yeah you totally can

>>256324652
>horrible
>horrible
>horrible
>horrible
Could you be more specific? Do you have another word?

The underwater jump physics are completely manageable once you get used to them. You can even use them to your advantage once you git gud.

Saying the level design is horrible is just subjective until you say which parts are badly designed. I'd say it's at least on par with the rest of the game.

The quicksand, like the jump physics, is only a detriment if you're not good. You shouldn't be getting stuck in quicksand at any point after your first playthrough.

And the horrible music is, again, subjective. I like the music.

Well damn, something like that has to be intentional sequence breaking, but that's fucking massive. Not sure if nintendo even thought it would be useful for more than a sneak peak.

>>256323809
I can't count the amount of times I've played through Super Metroid, there is no question I am completely capable of wall jumping, and learning how to do it hasn't been an issue since the first time. But that part is always the least fun section of the game time and time again. It's just not a very fun activity.

Like, imagine Super Metroid, or any game for that matter, had you stop and count gravel at one part instead. Is it a confusing goal? No. Hard to learn? No. Particularly difficult? No. Fun? Also no. Gravel counting would be the worst part of the game for reasons that had nothing to do with being difficult to do and/or learn. Similarly, wall jumping is also just not a very fun activity. I can nail it your first try and all that means is that good, I got that part over with faster.

>>256324652
Actually, I liked its music alright and as far as overall feel goes, its my favorite part of the game. Regarding the slooowww water stuff though, yeah, I could do without that.

>>256325898

Is this your first time playing a 2D Metroid?

>>256326410
wall jumping isnt that bad
its not even that fimmicky its just really precise and you dont even NEED it
the only place its required is not only optional but little critters show you how to do it

>>256326096
First of all, wall-jumping is a skill, counting gravel is not.

Second, saying you have to "stop and count gravel" is a horrible analogy. That's a rote task which interrupts gameplay. Wall-jumping is a means of locomotion.

Seriously, you are being a bitch about this. After a few playthroughs you should be down the tunnel, get the the energy tank, get the super missile tank, walk past the etecoons and be back on your way in under sixty seconds.

>>256326551
>wall jumping isnt that bad
It is.
Like you said it is precise, extremely precise.
>the only place its required is not only optional but little critters show you how to do it
In a game about exploration?

Yeah, no.

>>256326715
get out millennial scum

>>256326715
i think there is like a missle tank or two down there and again the fact that its precise (not extremely precise just enough to have to get used to) doesnt mean its bad

>>256312030
People had trouble with this?

I hope this isn't an "I was only pretending to be retarded" moment because shit's basic as fuck. I can wall-jump vertically up one wall.

>>256326518
Dude, what?

It's a fucking flaw. it doesn't even tell you jack shit how to do it, this isn't an "It's old so it can pass!" sort of thing. They could have at least put a tutorial or an explanation in the controls menu.

This is a game mechanic that is mandatory for the game but it doesn't tell you anything about it besides that "you can do it".

>>256326715
>Yeah, no.

Yeah, actually. Every other part of the map can be accessed without the wall-jump, with the exception of the etecoon tunnel. Wall-jump is just another way to get around the map. It's not required.

>it is precise, extremely precise
I think it's becoming apparent what your actual problem with the wall-jump is. Git gud.

>>256326896
>precise (not extremely precise just enough to have to get used to) doesn't mean its bad
It is extremely precises though, it's a clunky mechanic that they should have simplified or just mapped it to a button.

>>256326096
The section was made to teach wall jumping just another skill you have to apply to get out. Also it's one room after which you never have to go back into it. I understand if you don't like it anon but I find it fun it's a vertical room filled with walljumping fun that takes less than a minute 2 tops to get out of. If this room is tedious wouldn't shooting the robots in the wrecked ship suffer the same judgement? Wouldn't the same be said about traversing the lava in Norfair riding the small jet-powered platforms to get the ice beam?

My point is if lack of fun is a legit complaint then I find it hard to understand how you enjoyed several other rooms in the game.

I'm sorry that I can't sympathize.

>>256326949

No, it's not.

>>256326937
THIS

I emulated the game on my wii for another playthrough just three days ago with a gamestop brand gamecube controller. Even jumped up the shaft several times because the stick makes midair morphballing a hassle.

>>256327118
Yes it is. and they don't show you jack shit. They show three little crittersdoing it. which says nothing besides "you can do it!" might as well tack on "But you need to figure out this really weird combinations and actions to execute it."

It's a terrible mechanic.

>>256327165
>multiple power ups
>and even a bit that's required
Could you be more specific?

I've been playing this game for twenty years. Believe me, describe a room and I'll know exactly what you're talking about. If you're confident you're right, just say which parts.

>are you a souls faggot
Never played them, I've heard nice things.

>>256327118
>And they SHOW you how on screen.

Did we play the same game?

They jump on the wall, hold it for a second, and then jump off.

You jump, kinda spin around the side, and if you're lucky you'll get to jump off.

>>256327165
I can think of one area that requires the wall jump and thats the area in which you are shown how to use it
not to mention the mechanic isnt shitty you are just bad at using it

You should be able to map it anyway.

I've beaten the game several times without going in that room or walljumping as a youngun you are just bad at independent learning and critical thinking. You have no legit complaint besides "it's not fun". We both and the rest in this thread know you are bullshitting.

>>256327253

No I didn't. It was a very easy power up to learn how to use. Literally the only thing that gave me trouble in all of Super Metroid was the walljump.
>>256327285
>Could you be more specific?
Energy tanks, missile tanks and the like. Nothing major but in a game that stresses exploration it has an extremely shitty bit of gameplay.
>>256327309
No, it's a really shitty mechanic. Just because it's bad doesn't mean it can't be used properly. IT just means it's shit and ruins the flow of the game by adding a frustratingly difficult type of movement that is retardedly precise.

>>256318596
You have to use it if you want to beat the game without fighting Crocmire

>>256326715
>Like you said it is precise, extremely precise.
No it's not. After you turn away from the wall, you have about 1/4 of a second to press the jump button. Wall jumping is very easy, you're just really bad at video games.

>>256327372
>Saying something incessantly does not make it true.
Exactly, saying walljump wasn't an extremely bad and out of place mechanic over and over isn't going to make it true.

>>256327706
actually speed runners use wall jumping (consistantly i might add) to go faster in the game
not to mention you still cant name any parts of the game where its actually necessary
in fact you can probably 100 percent the entire game without using it if you just wait to get the space jump

>>256327706
>Just because it's bad doesn't mean it can't be used properly. Actually if its a bad mechanic then it cant be used properly. it just sounds like YOU cant use it properly and are just calling it shit

>We both and the rest in this thread know you are bullshitting.
Or the fact that you're a bunch of nostalgic fanboys who can't admit the game has a flaw.
>You have no legit complaint besides "it's not fun".
It's clunky and extremely precise compare to the rest of the controls, it has a much too high skill ceiling and the part where it "explains" it to you isn't anything but a bunch of critters immitating the movement of walljumping when ALL the other controls are explained to you.

Insulting and demeaning me isn't going to change the fact it's a shitty mechanic.

>not to mention you still cant name any parts of the game where its actually necessary
The part where the game explains it to you.
>in fact you can probably 100 percent the entire game without using it if you just wait to get the space jump
You can't.
>>256327920
>Game about exploration
>Has a shitty mechanic
>YOU DON'T NEED TO USE IT!!!
Yeah, naw. It was a shitty mechanic.

>>256327706
I'm starting to think you are a hypochondriac and blow things way out of proportion. It's literally an extra shown tutorial like the shinespark bird to teach you advanced maneuvering.

>>256327832

So it's a wonky mechanic that only works if you learn how to deal with the fact that it isn't well designed enough to actually telegraph to the player how to pull it off in the short amount of time you have to do it and is completely pointless and outclassed by an item you can get later? Am I reading this right?

>>256328042

That's because it actually works the exact same way the animal shows you. You go fast, hold down, and jump. Wall jumping doesn't. You touch the wall and hope it lets you jump instead of just falling back down.

>>256328142
so explain to me why you wouldnt be able to just go get space jump and come back to do the only single part in the game that "requires" wall jumping.

>>256328282
So does wall jumping
you run up to a wall
jump against it (keep in mind like the animals you have to be flipping)
hit the opposite direction on the d pad
then jump again
its the exact same as they do it

>>256328018
Beat the game, learned to wall jump. It was a shitty mechanic and took away from the game's quality for how retarded it was.
>>256328042
Because shinespark doesn't require retarded button inputs.

>You get shinespark power up
>Animal starts running (Which is shown to you in the controls mapping menu)

>>256328157
no you are actually adding a shitload on to it so you can feel like you are right
the mechanic is fine and its not necessary its just there to help you explore a little bit more in the early game but if you are a huge bitch (which apparently you are) then you can wait till the very end of the game so you dont have to learn how to do something thats only kind of hard

>>256328150
The shinesprk bird is fucking obvious as you JUST got the shinespark powerup.
plus it was progressive, he ran so I ran, Running is an explained mechanic. and then shinespark happened.

Walljump on the other hand gives you no indication of what buttons you're suppose to press and is retardedly precise to the point of making me quit for days before going back and beating the game.

What makes the controls clunky it's 80% timing at best.

>ALL the other controls are explained to you
Since when? The game drops you in and has you learn by experimentation.

It's like complaining that typing on a keypad is too hard and clunky after learning the alphanumeric keys. There was a time when learning a game didn't stop after the first level.

>>256328305
Because wouldn't that be sequence breaking?

The game is a puzzle of different shit, you could argue that most of the stff is optional but it doesn't mean that a certain one isn't complete and utter shit and there are parts in the game clearly intended for you to use it and get 100%

>>256326282

I didn't even know they had a D-pad.

It's clunky because it's precise. You need a specific button input that you have to guess from the animals in front of you.

>>256328695
>>Because wouldn't that be sequence breaking?

The control do not teach Shinesparking or Shinesparking at an angle using L and R.
The controls didn't teach using your ammunition to heal yourself. Controls didn't teach you how to space jump nor did they teach you how to bomb jump. Face it you're full of it and need your hand held throughout a game made for the thinking man. I am fighting hard to avoid the "C" word sir/madam.

You didn't get the shinespark powerup, you got the speed booster which at that point just makes you run faster.

The bird runs, then ducks to activate the shinespark and jumps.

How the fuck are you this dumb

The bird runs, you run. The bird ducks, you duck. The bird jumps, you jump. It works.

The monkeys jump into a wall, you jump into a wall. They cling to the wall, you just kinda hit it. They jump off, you fall back down or if you get really lucky with the timing (it is not telegraphed in any way a player can actually notice unless they spend more time learning it than they should on an entire playthrough) jump off.

I did it multiple times, I used it on ever section I was suppose to because I'm anal about collecting shit in the game before progressing.

Look. I love Super Metroid. Wall Jumping is really good when you get it down. But it is not "perfectly functioning." It requires way, way too much precision and is generally a nightmare to even learn nevermind master. If you think it's "perfectly functioning" you're either a troll or one of those self-absorbed people that thinks anybody who isn't as good as you is a small child who can't do anything right.

i actually started playing super metroid for the first time awhile ago. walljumping isn't really that bad, although getting past that part took a few tries. i'll admit that i got totally fucking lost trying to find kraid (i had no idea that wall in the elevator room was bombable), and the angle shinesparking thing was something i wasn't really aware of either. but you kinda just figure it out after a bit of slamming all the buttons on your controller at once, its not as bad as most of you are making it out to be.

Saying it's optional doesn't mean it isn't bad. Sparkshining is optional but nobody complains about it because hey guess what, it isn't badly designed. It works in a way that makes sense and doesn't require you to learn perfect, precise timing. There's a reason they added the ability to grab ledges in Zero Mission, it's because wall jumping is fucking shit.

>>256331458
>1. its not clunky at all
>2. precise doesnt make it bad
It is clunky, and it's extremely precise. Compared to literally every other mechanic given to you, ESPECIALLY ones that you start out with it's a retardedly difficult one to use. It requires more button inputs than anything else in the game and requires you to do them perfectly.
>>256331536

Wall jumping is just slow and clunky compared to the rest of the mechanics in super.

So you're saying it doesn't matter that it's bad because it's optional.

And it is bad because it's precise. Or more accurately, because it's far too precise. You can't be expected to pull it off on a consistent basis unless you spend like half an hour just learning it. Nothing else in this game takes even a minute to figure out.

Like the fact that it's a terrible mechanic.
>>256332049
No one is saying it's broken, anon. It's just a bad mechanic. Bad games can work fine but it doesn't mean they're goo games for working.

I've been playing this game for six, seven fucking years and I still can't do wall jumping for shit. I know how to play the game perfectly fine and can do literally everything else with zero effort. It's not about "skill," it just isn't designed well.

But no, just call me a casual and tell me to git gud, because god forbid my second favorite game of all time have one fucking problem.

This shit right here

>>256332183
not once did i ever say that its not bad because its optional
and just because you have to learn something doesnt make it bad
but i guess games have to hold your hand 100% of the time

>>256332196
>yeah, for the first 10 seconds after they demonstrate it
Try an hour.

I would love to have been there for your first time playing it, and not your exaggerated memory of it.

I'm not against valid complaints of classic 10/10 games, but this isn't one of them. It's not a bugged game mechanic. It works just fine. It's not too hard and it's not even super precise like people are saying. It clearly shows you exactly what to do.

If you're going to make a super metroid complaint, I'd instead bring up the glass tube. No indication you can break it. No indication that power bombs are what you need for it.

>>256332196
>it works based on exactly what they showed you

No, it fucking doesn't.

>>256332358
i cant do it =/= a bad mechanic

>>256332518
>jump to wall
>point away
>jump to next wall

just because you had a hard time figuring it out does not make it a bad mechanic.

>>256332518

>turn in opposite direction
>jump again
yeah thats exactly what they showed you

I have never beat it fair. Always used a cheat.

>>256332385
There's a unique sprite to look out for when doing it. I have trouble getting the wall jumping started, but after you get that first one it's just timing.
I figured that out when I was eight.

>>256332517
It shows you in the game's attract mode if you idle on the title screen. It shows you you need to blow it with a power bomb.

>>256332542
This was the exact point I was making, anon. I don't know why you think you needed to repeat me but okay.

Your main argument was that it's a bad mechanic that doesn't work and you are trying to convey that overly skilled players are MAKING it work when that is not the case at all.

The fact that it is possible and not as terribly difficult as you say is a plus for the game.

You not being able to grasp it does not discredit the game one bit.

nigger i had no fucking problem emulating the game with a goddamn keyboard with the walljumping sections

what the fuck are you going on about

>>256332517

See now, unlike wall jumping, that actually is common sense. It's fucking glass. What breaks glass? A lot of shit. Power bombs break damn near everything. If you see a glass tube and don't think "I bet this can be broken," you're retarded.

>complaining about super metroid being difficult
lol

>>256332642

Yep, it is. They jump on the wall, look the other way, and jump again.

It is similar to the bird, who runs, ducks, and then jumps. 3 actions, all scripted and shown to you.

git fuckin gud fgt

>>256332121
Monster X is easy. Spam Blade lv. 2 on everything. boom done
Blade 2 resolves all the boss' HP in like five seconds, and if you really need to, level 3 removes half the projectiles on the screen.

>>256329310
you know, I used to think illustrations were included in kids' books and the like so that people who can't yet read can still follow along easily. But now /v/ is starting to make me think the opposite; text and lengthy tutorials in vidya is included for challenged people who can't pick up simple visual cues.

>>256332924

Nobody's saying the game is difficult, they're saying the shitty wall jumping mechanic is shitty.

>>256333056
Its funny because i have yet to see a valid reason as to why its shitty

>>256333056
No they are saying the wall jumping mechanic is too hard for them so it's shit.

>>256332931

One of those makes sense because you know how to run, duck and jump. Nowhere is it stated that you need to spin into a wall, hold the opposite direction and jump, all within less than a second.

The little monkey things (or whatever) do a wall jump but it's nowhere near as easy to parse as shinesparking is from the tutorial they give. And even then, it doesn't help you learn the exact timing it requires at all.

>>256332995

yeah i have no problem with monster x normally. the problem comes in when you can't take one hit without dying because the game gives you no health upgrades or the missile launcher which will heavy press and ballos take longer than they should. i can't even downgrade the blade now, nothing does under 3 damage.

>>256332770
No, my argument is that it's stupidly precise and hard to use for a mechanic given to you in the beginning of the game. It's possibly the hardest one to figure out out of all the basic powerups and skills in the game.

It requires near perfect timing, and is barely explained to you at all in game. The animal critter barely explain it to you and they're unhelpful as 1/3rd of the animations they're imitating can be easily missed unlike the shinespark, because running is clearly explained in the controls menu.

It's not at the same entry level as the rest of the game and it's shit for it especially since there are section that are obviously meant to use it. The mechanic feels like a moment the devs thought "this would be cool" but got stuck on how to implement it properly and just left it.

>You not being able to grasp it does not discredit the game one bit.
I grasp it fine, it's just a bad mechanic.

>>256333112

Besides the fact that it requires pixel perfect timing?

>>256333202
>Nowhere is it stated that you need to spin into a wall, hold the opposite direction and jump, all within less than a second.
except you know how to jump and you know how to look in the opposite direction
your arguments are holding up less and less

You know, I used to think super metroid fanboys were pretty chill until I tried to point out a flaw in their game.

It's all namecalling from there.

And you're supposed to know you have a third of a second to jump before you stop "looking" in the opposite direction and instead just fall to the floor... how?

No, it's not the sprites they show. Those never show up when I play the game until it's already too late to jump. They don't work.

>>256333438
Nah, it's actually fairly under rated.

The fans however retardedly over rate it.

This thread is a good example of how Super fanboys can't admit walljumping was implemented badly.

>>256333428

Fucking hell this. Metroid fans are cool as fuck but if you have the fucking audacity to say "Hey this thing doesn't work right" they chimp the fuck out.

>>256333571
by missing the first time and saying "OH THIS ACTUALLY REQUIRES TIMING MAYBE I SHOULD DO IT WHILE IM STILL AGAINST THE WALL"

>>256333454
A difficult mechanic in a sea of easy mechanics is a bad thing though. ESPECIALLY when it's outright required and has several areas that need it.

>>256333743

Literally the worst tutorial I ever played. So bad that I stopped playing the game during the tutorial because of the tutorial.

And then you spend the next three hours trying to figure out the timing, and then getting into a rhythm.

When the animals jump from the wall the first thing you notice is the sound. They chirp everytime they jump off of the wall this is there to tell you that rhythm is the basis of the technique. It's explained plenty.

Currently playing Zero Mission and hoping it gets better.

I never understood what the big butthurt over this one was about. I have literally never failed to win it and I've beaten the game like a dozen times, not including the times when I've had to beat it for friends.

If you think that wall jumping isn't a shittily-implimented mechanic then you probably think pic related takes no effort, either.

You're just a tryhard that refuses to accept that something you "learned" is actually ridiculously hard and badly designed. Yes, I can wall jump. Yes, I can reach that upgrade. That doesn't mean either works well and isn't a huge pain in the ass to do properly.

>>256334057
You mean that place where it's not optional at all?

>>256334162
Super is generally the most loved
Fusion isnt that good since its very linear and very heavily story based
original is ok but it can get kind of confusing (should just stick with zero mission)

>>256334162
Super is the best. Just the walljumpng is shit.

>>256334162
super and zero mission are pretty close in terms of quality, but are you really not having fun with zero mission immediately? what the fuck

>>256334243
taking effort does not imply it's shittily-implemented, you cockmongler

>>256334249
actually it is completely optional there is nothing down there thats necessary to get
in fact i'm certain that everything in that area you can get by going through different routes

>>256333703

>first time

Try first thousand times. Every fucking time I play Super Metroid I spend an hour trying to "learn" how to wall jump and every time I realize it just doesn't work right. Don't say it's just because I'm bad, or something. It's not like I can't do whatever else the game asks of me. Wall jumping is just way too precise to be reliable unless you spend days learning it, and if you're doing that you probably, legitimately have something you need to see a doctor for.

>>256315116
I wouldn't say it's a flawed game, but everything it does has been done better in later games in the series, other than the inventory system and arguably sequence breaking but they aren't the main reason that most people play games, but I'm sure some will argue are to claim that Super Metroid is the best in the franchise.

This and Chapter 6, too. They should have been merged together at least.

>>256334470
i learned how to do it in no more then five fucking minutes and ever since then i've been able to do it consisntantly
you are so full of shit

>>256333428
dude, no. Don't even begin to pretend you're this thin-skinned on /v/ of all places.

I played Super Metroid for the first time a year ago. I already knew about its existence through other Metroid games, so I didn't really need to discover it or learn it from the Etecoons (I learned it in the other games, then, and those didn't have tutorials for it either) but the thing is that it's not difficult at all. Spin jump toward a wall, tap the opposite direction briefly so Samus is left in a certain position where she looks ready to jump off, then press jump. You can just jump up the same wall repeatedly and I found it easier than alternating between two walls... not that that's hard either. It's not finicky if it has clearly defined mechanics like this.

>>256334162

Super would be the only game that deserves a 10/10 if it weren't for the wall jumping and that one place with the sand pits.

>>256334464
You can't. It's required. The area is in the way of one of the required plot areas. You have to shinespark through but you fall down a hole.

>>256312030
The problem with this part, is that the creatures are only showing you the general concept for how to perform the jump. But it's never explained the exact button combination that's required. Because the button combination isn't adequately explained, it allows the player to feed themselves misleading information.

At first, the player might think that they need to press away + jump at the same time. But in actuality the combination requires the player to press away and then jump. One action in quick succession after the other.
By trying to perform the button presses at the same time, you might by chance press the jump button one frame before the direction button, and thus you fail. Or you might by chance press the jump button after the direction button, and thus you succeed.

The problem with this, is that the player's first solution would be to act more precisely. Without actually understanding what's required, their successes reinforce the notion that they were more precise, and the failures reinforce the notion that they were less precise. Essentially, sending the player down the road of misunderstanding.

If it were just better explained, then it wouldn't have been so bad. Or, they can do what they did with Fusion and Zero Mission, and make wall jumping more lenient.

>>256334398
>but are you really not having fun with zero mission immediately?
It's alright. I enjoy the upgrades. But it's not the 10/10 I kept being told it was by /v/.

>>256334398

Being able to do something that's a hundred times harder than anything else in the game does not imply it merely "takes effort," you dipshit.

>>256334470
>Every fucking time I play Super Metroid I spend an hour trying to "learn" how to wall jump
Having trouble with it the first time I can understand. If you're having this much trouble remembering how to perform a game mechanic in a game you've played more than twice, you might be the one who needs to see a doctor.

So for you and everyone else complaining about difficult timings, let me ask you this:

Are links and combos in street fighter and most fighting games bad mechanics?
The timing is extremely tight, and it requires a fair amount of skill to pull off consistently, but is extremely useful and effective for completely your goals, just like wall jumping, which has been proven by all of these webms:

>>256316834
>>256319256
>>256330448

Seriously. People claiming it's a bad mechanic don't even know what a "bad mechanic" is.

>>256334687
>you have to shine spark through

>worst
It's not worse than KH or FFXIII that takes 30 hours to finish

>>256334876
>>Are links and combos in street fighter and most fighting games bad mechanics?

No because they actually work as intended. They aren't supposed to be something a small child would do.

>>256334647
>Don't even begin to pretend you're this thin-skinned on /v/ of all places.
What.

I mean seriously what? I'm not thin skinned in the least. but GOD forbid someone point out SM's flaws.
>those didn't have tutorials for it either
Super has tutorials though. The Walljumping one is stupidly vague.
>but the thing is that it's not difficult at all
Except it is.
>. It's not finicky if it has clearly defined mechanics like this.
It's not clearly defined at all, it's pretty elaborate for a game whose basic techniques are extremely simple.

>>256331132

Wall jumping works okay in Super but it's hard to go back to it after they perfected it in both Fusion and Zero Mission.

>>256335049
but they are 1 frame links in a 60 fps game
they are too precise to do consistantly unless you spend hours and hours trying to get them done
so they are bad mechanics

>>256335196

Combos, in good fighters anyway, are not 1 frame links.

>>256334243
You do not understand the word "design". Your understanding of good video game design is the entire game should be easy or hard.
Good game design is the beginning is easy to help you focus on mastering the basics and you get better as advanced mechanics are put in front of you. It's not the fault of the designers that it's hard to grasp it's fault of the player. The fact that you CAN walljump is proof that the game did not drop the ball.

>>256335295
SF4 has 1 frame links
but according to you they are good mechanics
meanwhile Metroid has a wall jump that has up to 15 frames to allow you to do it
but those are bad mechanics becuase you cant do them

1. Wall jumps work every time if you are doing it right, just like links.
2. Small kids can play fighting games, there's no fucking restriction.

So if a kid can do it. So can you, unless you've got a learning disability. Honestly, I'm actually concerned for you. I think you have either a learning disability or some sort of cerebral palsy.
