'''Guest Interview: Zoast''': Kipp points out the range of categories that Zoast took the World Record in 2017. They discuss the SGDQ 2017 race of Low% Ice, the history of RBO including smashing the World Record. Zoast started playing Super Metroid as an adult, when he was gifted a copy by a friend and did a casual playthrough. He was active in speedrunning Symphony of the Night beforehand, and started speedrunning SM after watching Hotarubi's run. The community around the weekly races on SpeedRunsLive is what led Zoast to stick with SM as opposed to other speedgames. Zoast talks about managing nerves on WR pace, or in front of a large audience like GDQ.

TrueMoss and Zoast talk about the methods of practice, and how to practice efficiently. Figuring out cues for tricks, or altering a trick to be more consistent. Figure out backup strats.
