A roll shot or roll shooting is a technique that is only possible in Metroid Prime 2. It involves shooting a Beam or Missile in the process of unmorphing. This trick can save minor amounts of time throughout a run, usually when rolling into portals or towards a door.
Requirements
- Be morphed
- When unmorphing, press A and X on the same frame (or Y and X if opting for a Missile)
- Samus must be on the ground as it is impossible to do this airborne
An interesting side-effect is that Samus will begin charging whatever Beam is equipped after the roll shot or will begin to initiate Seeker Missiles after a Missile, if you have Seeker Launcher. This can sometimes be useful with Power Beam if you want to start charging a Super Missile early, or if you want to fire Seeker Missiles quickly as well.
Tips
To avoid laying a Power Bomb when attempting to roll shot with a Missile, lay some Bombs so the Bomb counter cooldown prevents the use of a Power Bomb.
