Yeah i call BS even if you kill SA-X you need more than one Energy tank cause one hit from it takes down about 1 tank also it still goes to fight Omega Metroid but because Omega is more powerful than SA-X it kills it then Samus absorbes it and becomes more powerful and kills Omega very easily. The only way to killed it with only 1 tank is to use a GameShark/Action Replay
@@BigSkylar What he is trying to say is that he beat SA-X in a 1v1 while at 1 energy, mwaning that the first hit from the Omega Metroid would do no damage whatsoever

X-Quiet Robe may have just acted following QR's memories or the more basic instinct to kill the predator
Don’t forget the boss where the X takes the form of a scientist! He was working on the computer before Samus came in and if I recall doesn’t do anything until you shoot him
I really hope Nintendo does a remake of Fusion using Dread's engine. Imagine a sequence where we have to run away from an SA-X that's using the Speed Booster. That'd be so damn intense.
@@Moderrnclassic I know, if they make the remake (MercurySteam × Nintendo) they should add that but only in a Extra Hard Mode. And unlock a new suit: EMMI suit
Avoiding hits from Serris was always the most difficult in my opinion. His movement patterns seem randomized, and my Metroid Fusion reflexes aren't good enough to avoid his supercharged movements. Nightmare was made much easier when I figured out you could do the trick to make him climb to the ceiling then slowly decend while you blast his underside.
I think Serris would have been much easier if the battle wasn't restricted by the tiny GBA screen. Maybe if we could see more of the arena it would be more reasonable to react in time and dodge him
It's actually just one pattern with Serris that you need to remember. When it starts waving up and down the platforms you drop down because it goes up over the ceiling grips. Otherwise you can just stay up there and wait its tantrum out.
Serris is not just easy, Serris is a complete joke. The easy cheese method for Serris is to go to the third platform, on the right side of the room and hang from the ceiling. If you pay attention, Serris curves through the platforms two very specific ways when he's going to go up to where you are. Once you know those, that's the only time you ever have to leave the ceiling and you can just stay up there and blast him from above.
When I was a kid and had a Gameboy, I was never really big into games. I just played it to pass time. After my dad bought me this game, though, my perception of games changed. I was so immersed with every little detail this game had to offer, like the creepy sound design, unique enemies, exploration, and the infamous motif of isolation in Metroid games I would play soon after. I dearly love this game, and it holds a special place in my heart, so much so that I actually bought a Gameboy (since I lost my old one) and a legit copy of the game yesterday and just finished it. Unfortunately, I only collected 56% of the items, so it looks like another replay is in store for me!
NGL, it’s ironic that one of the easiest bosses (the plasma beam boss) is sandwiched between two of the three bosses that *will* make you scream the first few times through thr game
Nettori is hell until you realize you can stand at the left edge of the elevated platform and just shoot, going into morph ball keeps you safe from the pollen coming from the buds and when the plasma beam start coming out of Nettori's body just duck under the high ones and jump when the low ones
Dang I never realized I could cheese Nightmare by going all the way up before he starts his gravity, that would have made my experience soo much easier. This must have taken quite some takes I'd imagine, Fusion is one of the toughest Metroid games.
I hope they make Metroid 5 someday. It's been almost 20 years already since this game came out. It could be a very interesting storyline going forward.
Never played Fusion but knew the story before playing Dread. Like that there's a bit more boss diversity. While I liked the repeat encounters of the Chozo robots and warriors from a world building standpoint, it got repetitive and some more variety in Dread could've helped
@@lukelafontaine69 I've now seen videos where people use the Storm Missile quite effectively against them. When I do my hard playthrough I'll have to try that
Doesn't help that baby level sequence breaking ensures most speed runs will completely skip two of the five geniunely original bosses in Dread. (Droyga and Z57) So it's just chozo Droids and Mawkin X for the mid to late game...hoo-ray
@@avocadeous Same, i almost beat it but i was so focused on getting past the first parts that i forgot that the bosses turn into x and then i died Edit: I FINALLY BEAT THE SPIDER
@@ksubswithnovideos-us7bn that actually happened to me with nightmare lol. I always got thrown off by the X since I’m used to bosses dying after they, well, phase out into nothing. On the plus side, it’s made me more aware when fighting bosses in other games.
Actually you can cheese the cores that shoot the beams at you buy jumping onto a platform with it being underneath you, then move close to the edge so you can hit the core when jumping and shooting straight down...the core will be stuck under the platform and aim diagonally upwards while you can hit it whenever it gets vulnerable by just shooting straight down and since it aims diagonally kt can't hit you
It was Mega Man Zero for me. But I’m also trying to get at least an A rank on each mission. And the MMZ1 also suffers from what I call “First game syndrome.” A bit unpolished and lacking in a few areas. But 2, 3, and 4 made up for the short comings in the first game
Taking off the nsotalgia googles, Fusion has too heavy handholding to bring it up the top and the bosses are pretty boring for the most part, SA-X and Adam story hard carry it, I'd say Super Metroid is above it and Dread feels like it's missing something small in order to up it since that game has great fights, it really is the highlight of the game.
I don't use it at all, a Turbo button in my emulator is better than the Charge Beam (yeah, this is cheating, will you report me?). I use it only for bosses that don't take much damage from the Beam
Amazing gameplay. I love your boss fight videos so much more than Boss Fight Database, especially your Metroid ones. You actually know how to play Metroid games and how to fight the bosses in said games. A true breath of fresh air.
That would be awesome. If the day comes when a Metroid Fusion remake for the Nintendo Switch (or whatever Nintendo's next gen console will be) is announced... (GIF of Philip J. Fry from Futurama) "Shut up and take my money!"
Man, I was never brave enough to dance around SA-X like that. I ended up getting her to chase me in a clockwise loop around the room. Once she started running towards me on the floor, I had enough space to hit her with a charge beam. Then I'd repeat the cycle until she turned into THAT.
I did not think I would see such clean transitions. If there was a Metroid Fusion Boss Rush ROM hack, I’m sure the transitions would be as seamless as the ones seen in this video.
Little fun thing about the serris boss, theres a small area right next to the entrance door that you can just sit in and never get hit for the first portion of that whole boss. Better part is all of the ample opportunities to hit serris in the head. Just a little something I'd figure be nice for everyone to know
@TetrisLBlock if your looking at the floor of the arena, crouch once you get to the second "floor tile" (idk what to call it other than that) not only does serris never come out of the floor there, but they also can never hit you as long as your crouched or in morph ball
I remember both Super Metroid and Fusion coming out I was in grade school when Super came out and middle school when Fusion can out still two of my favorite games
Forget the vine boom soundeffect those super missile explosions were the OG bass boosted soundeffect. You can feel the power behind the bass of those explosions, they drown out the music 😂 Seriously, my god this game is iconic, mainly for it's horror feel and feeling of isolation and weakness. Possibly the best 2D metroid game in terms of the feelings and immersion I felt playing it.
In the first phase SA-X fight, stand under the platform at the bottom left of the screen. If you get the position right, it will try to jump and attack you but end up on the ledge above. SA-X then gets stuck in a loop jumping up and down without actually attacking so you can just plug away without getting hit. If you’re in slightly the wrong place or your beams knock it back too far, it can break the loop but a quick dash around the screen and back will reset it
This is why I love Metroid fusion. It has thousands of unique and great bosses, unlike zero mission that has a couple of them (others are minibosses or a true one)
Damn... I always had trouble with the no damage run with the following: Zazabi, Yakuza, and Nightmare. Yet you made it seem so easy. ... Hell you even *BULLIED* the SA-X from the looks of it.
At first i was like "what is that a special mode with all bosses behind every door." but then i realized it's the good transition work👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
It's been over a year since I made a statement on how I want Metroid Fusion to be rereleased for the Nintendo Switch, and while that "technically" didn't happened, the game was added to the Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online mode. It's not exactly what I wanted, but I'm still glad that it happened.
If anyone is curious as to why he used the charge beam on neo ridley instead of rockets, it's because the plasma beam will pierce through ridley and do more damage, and it will kill him faster.
Wait, here was a whole second row of energy bars?😅 I missed half of them hahaha. And wow, killing all the bosses (specially nightmare who killed me like 20 times 😂) and that serpent with no damage really is a feat 👏👏
Impressive you were able to kill these bosses without getting hit, since the prevailing design ethos for this game seemed to be plopping you in a tiny room with a boss that takes up most of the screen.
I just need Nintendo to have all Metroid games (at very least all the mainline games: Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid, Fusion, Dread; all playable on the Switch. They definitely could’ve capitalized a bit on it and have the first 4 release as a pack alongside Dread
Metroid Fusion (A game marketed as another Metroid game) - Multiple cases of body horror, tense situations, chases, and mystery. Metroid Dread (a game marketed as a horror game) - Thin, crawly robots that one taps you unless you destroy a brain and (for some reason) get charged up by it's juice, and fight daddy birb! No body horror. No tense chases. No feeling like you're being stalked wherever you go. Just moments where the game goes "OOps. You got seen! Better lead this robot around in a loop for a little bit or just let him kill you and start again!" So spooooky! Had more tense moments in Mario Kart. Dread sucked so freaking hard, I regretted playing it when it was the only game I could play at the time.
"Alright fellow X, we need to assimilate some combat forms to destroy Samus. Any ideas?" "I was thinking an Aquatic super predator who's speed is unrivaled." "Alright, good start." "I'll assimilate the corpse of her nemesis." "Ooh, poetic, I like it." "I dunno, some kinda weird eye stalk thing with hair?" "Hah! Classic Jim, always good for a laugh!" "... Yeah, totally kidding..." "I'm gonna get REALLY BIG!" "Uh, Ted? How exactly does that help?" "No, you're not getting it. I'm gonna get... really... BIG!" "But how does that make you harder to kill or stronger? In fact, wouldn't it just make you an easier target?" "I don't see what you're not understanding... REALLY... BIG!" "Sigh... Dammit Ted..."

Better part is all of the ample opportunities to hit serris in the head. Just a little something I'd figure be nice for everyone to know
Yeah that totally worked. Absolute genius. You can still get hit.
@TetrisLBlock if your getting hit then either your not in the right area or just not crouched.
@@justingibson2358 he just comes out of the ground right underneath me no matter where I’m at. But aye, I still no hit him just now.
@TetrisLBlock if your looking at the floor of the arena, crouch once you get to the second "floor tile" (idk what to call it other than that) not only does serris never come out of the floor there, but they also can never hit you as long as your crouched or in morph ball
I remember both Super Metroid and Fusion coming out I was in grade school when Super came out and middle school when Fusion can out still two of my favorite games
Forget the vine boom soundeffect those super missile explosions were the OG bass boosted soundeffect. You can feel the power behind the bass of those explosions, they drown out the music 😂
Seriously, my god this game is iconic, mainly for it's horror feel and feeling of isolation and weakness. Possibly the best 2D metroid game in terms of the feelings and immersion I felt playing it.
I just beat this game for the first time this morning and Ridley did NOT go down that fast….
His model is so big the charge beam destroys him, but also lags the game lol.
In the first phase SA-X fight, stand under the platform at the bottom left of the screen. If you get the position right, it will try to jump and attack you but end up on the ledge above. SA-X then gets stuck in a loop jumping up and down without actually attacking so you can just plug away without getting hit. If you’re in slightly the wrong place or your beams knock it back too far, it can break the loop but a quick dash around the screen and back will reset it
I wish I realized ice missiles trivialized the SA-X encounters (the one after the spider boss and the final boss fight with it) as a kid.
This is why I love Metroid fusion. It has thousands of unique and great bosses, unlike zero mission that has a couple of them (others are minibosses or a true one)
im only now realising the SA-X's final form is a mashup of samus & that OG frog that infected her in the first place
Oooo.... that's something!
Damn! Some of those transitions are seamless!
As much as I love metroid zero mission, fusion definitely has better and harder bosses
Zero Missions bosses were forgettable at best and terrible at worst. Fusion easily has the best boss fights in the series. Dread has the 2nd best. IMO
The only boss you can't avoid damage is the omega metroid. You have to take damage. It's unavoidable
This was a great run. What do you think about it Ridl---

Damn... I always had trouble with the no damage run with the following: Zazabi, Yakuza, and Nightmare. Yet you made it seem so easy.
... Hell you even *BULLIED* the SA-X from the looks of it.
Man, I couldn't even dream of beating Yakuza and Nettori without any damage. :D
I could do Nettori no damage if it weren't for the fact that I pay more attention to damaging the boss more than dodging the spores that fall
At first i was like "what is that a special mode with all bosses behind every door." but then i realized it's the good transition work👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
I also love the way u ultra instinctively predict serris moves 😂😂😂
Man, as a kid, when I first encountered the boss Yakuza, the spider boss, I died immediately to him Lol. Took me a bit to figure out his patterns.
What i gathered from this is that charge shots are now powerful than missiles for many of the bosses...
13:03 When I stub my toe in the middle of the night
I genuinely love the item pickup sound
god thats such a good boss transition
プレイも編集も上手いですね！
I remember playing through Super Metroid in the 90s then this one in high school on my game boy advance great games
Metroid fusion all bosses:
Arachnus-x

nice video BossRunner. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the amazing work.
The SA-X will always be up there with one of the most “how tf did this get into a kids game” bosses ever.
My favourite Metroid game. I miss the GameBoy Advanced era and honestly, emulation could never replicate the vibe of the real thing.
One of the best games in human history. Fight me.
It's been over a year since I made a statement on how I want Metroid Fusion to be rereleased for the Nintendo Switch, and while that "technically" didn't happened, the game was added to the Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online mode. It's not exactly what I wanted, but I'm still glad that it happened.
If anyone is curious as to why he used the charge beam on neo ridley instead of rockets, it's because the plasma beam will pierce through ridley and do more damage, and it will kill him faster.
Best Metroid imo. Proud to see this vid
Wait, here was a whole second row of energy bars?😅 I missed half of them hahaha. And wow, killing all the bosses (specially nightmare who killed me like 20 times 😂) and that serpent with no damage really is a feat 👏👏
I wish I could have the chance to replay Metroid Fusion again. Maybe have it be available in the Nintendo Switch's eShop.
Impressive you were able to kill these bosses without getting hit, since the prevailing design ethos for this game seemed to be plopping you in a tiny room with a boss that takes up most of the screen.
Only ridley and mega core x were annoying screen tbh
The X may just be an excuse for Nintendo to reuse past departed bosses in Fusion. But damn, what a way to recreate said bosses. Especially Ridley.
I just need Nintendo to have all Metroid games (at very least all the mainline games: Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid, Fusion, Dread; all playable on the Switch. They definitely could’ve capitalized a bit on it and have the first 4 release as a pack alongside Dread
I think thats coming this E3?
everyone: i hate nightmare so much!
me: fking yakuza gave me nightmares
why are some of the boss musictracks SO BOPPIN'
Is this a hackrom or just a cut video? I would be interested into a full length run without cuts, but still this is pretty cool!
Just Edit. Thank you!
The transitions are very smooth
Metroid Fusion (A game marketed as another Metroid game) - Multiple cases of body horror, tense situations, chases, and mystery.
Metroid Dread (a game marketed as a horror game) - Thin, crawly robots that one taps you unless you destroy a brain and (for some reason) get charged up by it's juice, and fight daddy birb! No body horror. No tense chases. No feeling like you're being stalked wherever you go. Just moments where the game goes "OOps. You got seen! Better lead this robot around in a loop for a little bit or just let him kill you and start again!" So spooooky! Had more tense moments in Mario Kart.
Dread sucked so freaking hard, I regretted playing it when it was the only game I could play at the time.
"Alright fellow X, we need to assimilate some combat forms to destroy Samus. Any ideas?"
"I was thinking an Aquatic super predator who's speed is unrivaled."
"Alright, good start."
"I'll assimilate the corpse of her nemesis."
"Ooh, poetic, I like it."
"I dunno, some kinda weird eye stalk thing with hair?"
"Hah! Classic Jim, always good for a laugh!"
"... Yeah, totally kidding..."
"I'm gonna get REALLY BIG!"
"Uh, Ted? How exactly does that help?"
"No, you're not getting it. I'm gonna get... really... BIG!"
"But how does that make you harder to kill or stronger? In fact, wouldn't it just make you an easier target?"
"I don't see what you're not understanding... REALLY... BIG!"
"Sigh... Dammit Ted..."
