This guy is one of the reasons I can't play Super Metroid randomizer as much as I'd like to. Having to fight him when you're underpowered is a bitch and a half.

I usually have a tough time with him, but last time I played I ran him down pretty decently. Helps to flip over of the fire waves at the top corners. Then just gotta wait for the fucker to eventually show up and drop SM's into him. There's probably a better strat for normal missiles then SM to try to get him dead.

It is possible to do the fight damageless, I've never done it, but I've seen it.

Randomizers are retarded anyways and such a stupid reason to hate a boss. Just play a new game. You're vainly trying to recapture the feeling of a fresh playthrough by playing the game in an non-optimal and unfun way as proven by this very boss.

can't you go through forbidden highway to get most of his checks assuming you have gravity?

How? It has the most stupid sweet spot in the game, unless you missed charge, wave and plasma beam + both suits all you have to do is crouch on his foot, aim upwards and shoot it until it is dead

Not him, but I like the challenge and you learn new stuff with each seed you're able to beat. Also, in the case of SM, the maprando randomizer has got pretty sophisticated, you can adjust a ton of options, in particular the difficulty

Space Pirates are a curious species. I kinda want a cannon (besides the Prime games) reason on why despite having some of the most lethal technology and dangerous warriors as generals they still come up with some of the most idiotic plans ever. Space Pirates executives and/or shareholders are insanely retarded or something?

it's been years, but I remember Super Missiles were fucking me up because he gets so much harder if you use them
it's better to stick to regular missiles to get easier patterns. that is, if you're having trouble. if you're better than I am, go nuts.

It's harder, true, but it's also hilarious just smacking him in the eye with a super and watching him completely lose it with rage. Eye pain's so annoying.

Randomizers can sometimes mean the only way to progress is through Phantoon.

If you're playing Map Rando though, due to the structure of the game you can usually ignore Phantoon until you need to defeat it. The trade-off is you can't use the adjacent map station until you do so.
This is because all other main bosses have two exits, Phantoon only has one.

Most of the time, randomizers make the Phantoon fight a lot more bearable, like you're not supposed to have screw attack or plasma beam against this thing.
It doesn't stop the small window to land damage on it being annoying as shit though; it instantly flees into invisibility if you take ANY damage from anything.

i always thought the entire wrecked ship felt out of place in the game
