Am i allowed to submit a "run" with a picture of the completion time (the one game-time after ridley)?
You don't need a video to submit a run in the first place, just stating that you need the RTA of your run for a submission, anything else is fluff
Not making a new thread for that, but just to get an idea of the time an 100% run on hard and fusion mode. I don't think it's valid, because the run I did was segmented and I used not just save points, but basically every Check point available to redo each segment as many time as necessary. All in all, I managed to do the Fusion 100% run in 3h20m17s. This time is definitely beatable, as I haven't even used some of the more advanced tricks speedrunners use. But I think it still set a good estimate of the time needed to beat it.
To be fair, The hard mode and Fusion mode differ from the other metroid games as the enemies aren't more resistant, they just deliver more damage. A 100% hard or fusion run shouldn't be too far off from the current 100% run one normal we have. This is IGT, in case it wasn't clear already.
