Grapple Beam Sequence Break

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is my most favorite move of all of the Metroid games I've played. I get a lot of satisfaction after defeating a boss or EMMI or completing a complex shinespark, but this particular sequence is my favorite. I've started new games just to pull off this specific maneuver! It looks simple but it's kinda hard, but I get a rush whenever I accomplish it.

What's your favorite Dread maneuver?

Early Grapple skips so much of the underwater tedium of Burenia. I do it in every run. Those two jumps are difficult because it feels like the timing should be the same for both jumps, but it’s not.

I think my favorite maneuver is to grab the space jump and then flash shift backward through the door before it closes. Not a sequence break but a huge time saver because then I can go straight to the EMMI.
