/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm not 100% sure about this, but here's my theory.

First off, I'm pretty sure you can't shinespark in water without the Gravity Suit. So what's going on in this case?

When shinesparking upward in this room the water is so shallow that the collision test around Samus' head never intersects water, and is thus allowed.

When shinesparking left (or right) while standing in knee-deep water, the collision test checks Samus' side, which partially intersects water, and is thus stopped.

Way to check this: Can you shinespark diagonally? Since this moves you both horizontally and vertically, it should probably be stopped by my theory.

Way around this: If this is the case, then what you need to do is shinespark left _in the air_. To do this, you need to somersault, shinespark, then hit left. Something tells me you don't have the head room.

Lastly, way to verify if you can shinespark in liquid w/o Gravity Suit: Go to the Crateria room to the left of the Wrecked Ship and try shinesparking in the water there. You can look up tutorials on how to get to the Wrecked Ship w/o Grapple Beam to see how to do this.

Why are you making another thread if the other one is still up and didn't even reach bump limit.

This shit is already only tangentially related to /vr/ and having two threads up will only make more people upset. (I'm not making the argument that it isn't /vr/ related, but you know if you're not cautious about this shit you're just going to invite shitposting)

In the least you should have made a proper OP asking people to scan their stuff, but instead it's some unrelated bullshit with no explanation that no one will understand unless you were following the previous thread. (which you didn't even do the bare minimum of linking to)

Come on man, intentions are nice but think about things before you just splinter off the threads for no reason, was this really necessary.

There's a ton of pros and cons for both.

SNES requires less technical programming knowledge for musicians, so the barrier of entry for acceptable sounding music is going to make sure that the shovelware titles end up sounding better, which definitely put a dent in Mega Drive's reputation, since those American and European cash grabs sound like fucking ass (thank you GEMS).
But if you know your way around the YM2612 it can output richer sound with a great timbre to it, while the SNES chip since it can only output low quality samples it ends up sounding really flat *most* of the time.
But another downside to the YM2612 is that you really need good sounding equipment for it to sound good, and for most of us growing up with a shitty CRT with shitty built-in speakers even the good soundtracks sounded really piercing to the ear, FM synth can get really jarring to the ear if not in ideal conditions. While the SNES music was never too aggressive and more natural sounding, so in the least it could output pretty well by shitty built-in crt speakers, and definitely masking its flaws.
In that time period I think that Nintendo definitely won the sound race, leaving a more general positive impression on most gamers, but nowadays we can hear how the sound quality isn't that impressive, while the YM2612 still manages to output impressive and rich sounds, musicians still use FM Synth for a reason.
Now, I think it's pointless to point out that both have great OSTs that knew how to use the capabilities of the hardware they were using, you can easily try to one-up one another by posting great songs and trying to say that this is better than the other, but you'll soon find that both had an immense amount of great songs, and we can both do this dance all day. But, I think that the YM2612 has an incredibly bad rep, and an unwarranted one. Please leave the impressions you had of it as a kid at the door and consider listening to it again with a good pair of headphones in your head.
