Do as they do.

That room is there to teach you how to walljump.
Follow their lead and jump out of there.

>First thought is shooting them with super missiles

That's fucking hilarious.

>>748448
It wasn't my first thought exactly. I was pretty much trying anything, and it only works when you shoot the wall.

>>748443
>>748446
Thanks. I'm trying to get the hang of it, but most of the time I can't bounce off the wall. Do you have to hit the same spot?

>>748453
It's a bit tricky at first.
Make sure you're spinning into the wall when you do it, and jump when her back is facing the other wall.

Bump. I'm not trying to sound retarded, but I can't get it to work. I managed to jump back off the wall once or twice just by trying a bunch of times. Am I overthinking it?

>>748472
I'll give it a shot. Thanks bro.

>>748441
You have to tap the direction you're jumping to right before you jump off the wall to do it right. For example, right now you're facing right, when you do a somersault to that right wall, tap left first and then hit jump.

you have to push the dpad in the opposite direction in this order

spinning jump at wall -> as you touch the wall press the button back <- and samush should temporarially change to a grappling position then while holding the directional button jump and repeat as you approach the other side. Spinjump, change directions, jump

Crawl up the wall.

>>748441
I hope you arent emulating. I never could walljump on an emulator.

>>748482
You don't actually have to tap anything, you can just hold it down.

Once you know the input, walljumping is easy as sin.

>>748501
why not?

>>748501
then you've obviously never tried emulating with a snes controller.

>>748483
>>748482

These.

I always found it a pain in the fucking ass to pull off, though.

>>748505
Probably because of this >>748508
But it may also be because I was using zsnes, which may fuck with the timing since it runs everything faster than intended.

OP here.

I figured it out! Thanks for all your help. Hopefully this will be the only thing I can't figure out on my own.

There was another part earlier in the game that I struggled with but eventually got down, and that was getting the x-ray scope. Was definitely a pain in the ass with the freezing and the spikes.

The game definitely lives up to the hype, by the way.

>>748512
fair enough
I never had problem with wall jumping whether it was on the d pad or keyboard so I don't know how you have this problem

>>748501
I'm walljumping around Ceres Station on ZSNES using a keyboard, this is fucking trivial to do

>>748523
awesome OP good luck in the rest of the game

>>748512
No, it doesn't fuck with wall jump timing at all.

In fact, there's very little "timing" to wall jumping at all. It's very forgiving considering how people have trouble with it. If you're really having trouble just watch for Samus' wall jump sprite when you start holding the opposite direction while you're hugging the wall. It's basically the game's way of saying "Hey you. Yes, you! If you press jump now Samus will wall jump!"

>>748528
>now imagining a game-tan loli yelling at you in frustration and excitement

op's post has me laughing, you can't make that shit up

>>748680
Haha I was legitimately concerned! Now that I think about it, why do the super missiles affect their jump?

>>748737
They have a concussive blast effect. Try shooting them in other areas where creatures climb on the walls. They'll fall off.

>>748453

Spin toward the wall, touch the wall, quickly face away from the wall, then jump.

>>748793

whoa I never thought of that

>>748793
That's actually an incredibly neat touch, that etecoons react to that properly.

you're stuck at a deadend OP, game's over, there's no way to get out.

>>748885
Thanks bro.

I like how the noises they make when you first see them is the item collect jingle.

I never could wall jump in this game well, emulator or console. Ever time I get here on my pc I end up spending 10 minutes trying to get out while save stating on every ledge.

Sucks because other games make it easy like New Super Mario Brothers or Strider.

>>749069
Make sure you're hitting right or left and not diagonally when you jump off the wall. I'm never able to do it with a 360 controller cause of the dpad but with a SNES controller it's pretty easy.

Walljumping 101: Always start with a spinning jump. Straight vertical jumps don't work. So get the fuck back a little before starting.
Hit the opposite direction of the wall and jump at the same time.
Don't hit up or down during your shit or it'll take you out of the jump. You can recover, but it's difficult and unless your TAS or at super speedrunner level, you're better off not fucking around while jumping.
So long as your spinning towards any wall or floating ground at sufficient height, you can walljump it. So you can wall jump up a single wall if you come back at it quick enough.
The game is kind of bitchy about it sometimes, it helps to exaggerate your motion and tap the directions rather than roll, try to hit the sides of the dpad as squarely as possible so you don't come out of the jump.
Congratulations, you can walljump.

>>748525
Walljumping is one of the few things that is easier to do on a keyboard because you aren't going to accidentally come out of it, which is the largest issue by far with a dpad.

start the game over its not to far

walljumping on the virtual console version is bullshit

oh man i would love to see the posts about this part on that wiiu thing

>>749464
thing?

>>749473
you know the message board deal where they ask for help and whatnot where that guy asked why metroid cant crawl

>>749480

>>749480
you mean miiverse? i haven't seen anybody say
>metroid can't crawl

>>749481
ah i see what you mean

>>748523
>I figured it out! Thanks for all your help. Hopefully this will be the only thing I can't figure out on my own.
Apart somewhere getting lost with Phantoon, that was the only place I remember feeling "lost", so you should be fine ;)

Good luck OP!

>>748528
>>748534
Hey listen!

>>748501
This. First time I played Super Metroid, the streaming viewers made me jump into this hole. I was emulating on zsnes, with an LCD monitor using a PS3 controller.

Try and imagine how much bullshit lag there was and how angry I got. Oh and when they tricked me into the shinespark area too, I found out it's physically impossible to shinespark with a PS3 controller. I eventually had to use the keyboard to do it. That experience was so bad, it tainted Super Metroid for me.

>>749481
>ycantmetroidcrawl

What? How do you even get that far without using the morph ball?

>>749373
>Walljumping 101: Always start with a spinning jump. Straight vertical jumps don't work. So get the fuck back a little before starting.
That's actually kind of a problem since SM is completely unforgiving with the type of jump you perform based solely on the microsecond order that a direction key was hit in relation to the jump button.

>>749528
Because it's a joke

>>749538
>>749531

I couldn't get past Crateria in Super Metroid Redesign, and even I think walljumping is easy.
Seriously, guys, just practice it for like 10 minutes and you'll have it down pat.
The button timing is fairly precise, but it never varies.

Yes, I played on an emulator.

>>749576

Oh, right. I see. I get it. You were lampooning me. It was a simple lampoon.

>>748494
why cant metroid crawl

>>748523

You've just cheated through the coolest part of the game. You aren't qualified to say whether the game lives up to the hype.

Next time try not cheating. When you fail, try harder. If you continue to fail, play something else.

I fucking hated this when I first fell into it during my first playthrough... and yet, when I finally got out, there was a very satisfying feeling of accomplishment (and relief). I kinda miss that.

In subsequent playthroughs, I discovered that the Ascii Pad's auto-turbo was perfectly timed for bomb-jump chaining.

SPINNING
DESCENDING
NEXT TO THE WALL
PRESS AWAY FROM THE WALL
PRESS JUMP IMMEDIATELY

>>750835
>walljumping out of a pit
>the coolest part of the game

OP here again. I came to another part soon after where an ostrich taught me how to super jump. It was a lot easier to figure out than the walljumping.

>>750881
Besides, isn't that what people do when they get stuck in games? Ask their friends for help? None of my personal friends are much into classic gaming, and I consider you guys to be my friends too, so I came here for advice.

Other posts ITT say it wasn't as intuitive for them either, so I feel a little better.

>>750881
>super jump
I never heard anyone call it that before, why is this so fucking funny to me

>>750893
Besides, if you really wanted to show off you'd just get 100% or beat the game under 2 hours for the better ending.

>>750853
>Ascii Pad

Truly, the king of all SNES controllers.

>>749531

>>750965
What do you call it?

>>749596
The guy who posted y cant metroid crawl on the WiiU made other joke posts, like taking a screen shot with the Mocktroids and saying "I found Samus."

>>751105
Shinesparking.

>>751110
That terminology came later, IIRC. I remember everyone calling it a charge jump when the game came out.

>>750980
Best controller I've ever used.

>>749531
Jokes on you I did all that with almost same set-up, but wireless x360 controller instead of ps3 one, and I didnt have any problems, but it did took me while to get timing right.

And I got around 90% completition too.

>>749481

he can

>>751142

Not this again...

>>751142
Zero Mission not /vr/ is an exception.

>>750835
>You've just cheated through the coolest part of the game

lol, this faggot. OP was polite and didn't say "RAR BAD DESIGN" and clearly did at some experimenting and you're still being a faggot about it.

>implying thousands of kids didn't learn this from their friends or the tips section of a game magazine

>>751142
that aint metroid shes a girl
