im a bit disappointed we didn't end up fighting any x infected central units, that would have been cool

and im convinced kraid x was originally intended to be a boss fight, most likely got axed somewhere in development
im very curious if kraid will show up in prime 4, its weird he almost made it into prime 1, and then they just never revisited the idea

Yeah it's pretty weird that they made a whole model and animations for what's effectively a 5 second cutscene.

The only real complaint I have is the music wasn’t very memorable, but this may just be a MerSteam complaint because I wasn’t too fond of their OSTs for the Lords of Shadow games either.
Very late reply but the composers are actually from Nintendo, quite new composers to the industry it seems. Soshi Abe joined the industry at Nintendo in 2017 and first worked on the BOTW expansion pass and Sayako Doi joined the industry at Nintendo in 2019 and first worked on Super Mario Maker 2.

How is it explained why kraid is even in this place? Chozo captured him and imprisoned?
Given that this is like the fifth individual Kraid and there's a Draygon in a big vat in the background of Dairon, my guess is that the Mawkin Chozo actually grew/created Kraid in the first place

Ending sequence was nuts. Metroid-Samus was dope as hell, a bit of a shame we didn't get a proper boss fight using that design... Maybe DLC?

I wonder where the series will go next. Fusion had the entire plot thread about the Galactic Federation potentially wanting to hunt Samus for ruining their plans so maybe that's next.

even if it was brief, im sooo glad samus speaks in this game, that scene with quiet robe was great i was afraid after other m they would make her completely mute.

finished my 100% percent run, the cloaked figure in one of the unlockable arts is definitely a tease for metroid 6.
also, its interesting that there are chozo spaceships in the background of hanubia, but the infected chozo chose to stay and fight samus instead of escaping, shows that they are very resistant to being infected by the x

Can I just chime in here, after beating the game 5 minutes ago, that it is freaking awesome, that Samus is a Metroid?
This is such a satisfying conclusion to the arc and now you can make funny responses to the people that say that Metroid is the protagonist, lol.

I really enjoyed the story/lore of this game and it is definitely my favorite from the 2D ones I played. What a ride.

even if it was brief, im sooo glad samus speaks in this game, that scene with quiet robe was great i was afraid after other m they would make her completely mute.

That is probably my favourite moment in the game and I love that she only talks there, it felt so powerful because of that. And I love that she spoke in the language of the Chozo and not in ours.

Is it possible to do a hard run under 4 hours without sequence breaking?
Very likely, yes. I did a normal run with minimal sequence breaking in under 3 hours, hard really isn't any harder than normal if you're decent at dodging attacks. All it does is make enemies hit a bit harder.

I was able to do a hard run without sequence breaking clocked in at 3 hours 12 minutes. (though I did shinespark three bosses)
Thanks!
Which bosses?

Does the time reset when you die at a boss or does the clock still run?

Escue, Experiment No. Z-57, and Golzuna.

I'm actually not sure if the time resets if you die. 🤔
You can shinespark Escue?

That's wonderful to hear, I'm going to do that next time I see it. Can you do it while its electric barrier is up?

One question I had while playing the game... was it ever established before that Samus has Chozo DNA? Like, in any other game?

Not sure if it was in a game but I'm pretty sure there was a manga way back when that established that. She needed Chozo DNA to operate the suit or something.

I remember once hearing about people playing Smash and referring to Samus as "that robot guy Metroid" -- the funny thing is that if anyone still does that, they aren't wrong about the Metroid part.
