Kraid

Okay.

I've beaten Kraid.

Okay, you beat Kraid.

Yeah.

Cool.

Um-

I mean, we got Cra- we got Kraid back in the last game.

Surely like this has to be like Torizo.

I, I, I mean, uh, Kraid and Torizo aren't exactly on the same billing, but I, I think that that would just be nice for, you know, that'd be nice for Metroid fans.

Uh, I, you know, obviously all signs point to this being kind of similar to Super Metroid in that it's one of your first bosses that you get in the game.

Looks like there's barely any Aeion, barely any health.

Uh, it might have been, I don't know, it might have been around moving from the first area into Norfair or something like that.

'Cause I had a little bit of difficulty with Kraid to start.

Yeah.

The, the big green boss.

Yeah.

Um, and, and yeah, it was-- So my biggest gripes with this game were, it's a combination of the difficulty, um, 'cause I mean, particularly some of the bosses.

Like, I think it was, I think it was Kraid, where I could not work out how to damage him.

And again, I had to like look this up and it was like, it turned out-- I was using like missiles and super missiles, but it was doing bugger all damage.

It's like, holy shit, like she is so fucking cool now.

And she already was cool in Dread, like there were moments like where you fight fucking Kraid where she just like blasts him in the face.

It's...

I really, really like the characterization that Mercury Steam has given to Samus in...

I was like, "What is a mini-boss?" Like, is this, uh, the, the, the vision I had in my brain was, like, mobsters, like some guy in a pinstripe suit or something.

Uh, and I still, I still think Kraid would actually look pretty good in a pinstripe suit.

He's got that kind of, like- You know, bulky, a little bit gone to seed look to him, but also very powerful.

Like, that is your sort of classic middle-aged gangster boss.

Like, I think it works.

Can't wait.

I can't wait to see what this idle speculation results in once people start hearing this and saying, "Hmm, I could draw a Kraid in a suit."

Well, you know, in, in Super Metroid, he's, like, launching spikes out of his belly, but what if that were a Tommy gun? See, I, I just, I-

Let's, let's go back to, uh, Brinstar and, and poke around some more and s- and see if we can get more powered up."

Um, so have you taken on either Kraid or Ridley? Doesn't sound like it yet.

No, I haven't even-

Yeah

[laughs]

Uh, yes, they...

So, so they have their own dedicated areas that are just literally called Ridley and Kraid.

Okay.
