MASTER-88 posting history part 4

Maybe these both are as fast as. I personally like used that TAS route.
I remember TAS used Maridia route when he going into Tourian. You used same route as Hotarubi did his 32 SS run.
I forget ask is it faster or slower used Maridia route than Brinstar route when you going into Tourian after completed Ridley?
Why these both runs are taking down? Ureta is back. Just weird.
Also i wonder what are happen Seth glass Megaman 2 runs. Is there picked up some cheats, because these ones are disappeared?
Comments are welcomed.
If i keep playing that even more. I´ll will skip some extra lifes in future. Also i´ll hope better last boss fight. Otherwise i was quite happy with this run. It is very good casual speedrun. There not was any large mistakes. Only a lot minor ones. Its looks sub 12 is not are trouble. Sub 11.30 seems very potential on console. Just can,t say more right now.
Last boss went faster than my other runs. It was still about 10-15 seconds slower than Votava fight. But last boss is just extremely hard & random.
This run was done with only 4 deaths. But i collect too much 1 ups here. This my caution 1 up route cost me about 30 extra seconds which is a lot. But i was just confused how i beat game with 4 deaths only. This game always are taked me 6-7 deaths. So i not was never believed i can make it well like this.
Its beat Votava run by 15-16 seconds. But yeah this route what i used are better than Votava route.
12.45
I make my first "good" Iron Sword run
If you haved WII you can also buy this game your WII too like i did my Probo 2 run using WII.
Good luck sub 14.50 though. Seems incredible goal. But sub 15 are surely superb especially if you are maded it without deaths.
This seems quite good run even used power ups. Hopefully you are maded it on real NES and will submited it in SDA too. Its awesome improvement over previous SDA run which was also very good run.
Huh sub 15 with low-%
Awesome. I´ll check out your youtube.
No i not are test. I´ll watch TAS run again and let see which is fastest.
Level 2
SKY level are most difficult at all for me. Its take me most reset. I played boss fight quite slowly i just wanted pick up magic here. I need full magic metter before i enter 2nd boss.
Level 1. I tested that key route already which is fastest. IMO both are par as fast as. Not any time difference IMO. Egg trick is not very hard. So i´ll used it in future if i pointed out it is faster. IMO it sounds also as fast as my route. Not sure though.
Thanks Breakdown a lot nice stuffs here.
This is test out now. This route going up was same as TAS used and its seem fastest.
This looks if i can make run like this and got well enought last boss like Votava did. 11.30-11.45 seems very good run. BTW this took me 2 & half hour beat my record. My dream goal is 11.30 all depend last boss.
IMO there is just not any order how boss attacks or how much damage it take. Sometimes boss got more damage sometimes less.
This was a lot better looking run than last  time. I was almost one minutes ahead my 12.45 when i enter in last boss. But i just lost much time here. This boss is just so random. SMB 2 last boss or Jackal Huge tank is nothing random compared this one.
12.17.
I did another Iron Sword run
Yeah i agree this run is really insane. Extremely well played game. Nothing errors here. This can still done couple seconds faster if you used wall zips into Bowser castle. But yeah i can,t say anything else. Let see  put andrew even more effort run this game. Its maybe can beat frezy run if he can make it perfected like his SMB run.
I guess these autoscroll levels are most fun into speedrun this game. You can relax here, because you not need worry about your speed. But its might piss of when you mess up your run after avoid hands.
This one is 1 minute & 2 seconds faster than my previous archive run. I´ll keep playing. But i have to say this game is so frustrating and random one.
If you guys want i can show this run in archive. I maded some new stuffs and used some Breakdown tips. I´ll keep my goal which is sub 11.30 then i look how much better it will look than Votava run.
Only 5 seconds faster. But record is always record. Its close my goal. Gameplay itself went better. But i lost too much time in Volcano boss. Also two last elements suck in final boss. Otherwise my starting was easily my best ever.
11.43
EDIT:
I´ll keep trying hopefully sub 11.30 my next attempt. Even sub 11 is not are impossible time on console, but just requires extremely luck with many places especially last boss.
This includes some really well spots: -Sky level went very well (god i hate that level its take tons reset) -Volcano boss was awesome. I got good rhythm and i not miss shots -Last boss went much better. But its not are superb yet, but surely passable in speedruns.
But yeah sub 11.30 is not are trouble anymore. But just requires luck everywhere gameplay and last boss.
This is fucking ironic when i other game went suck last boss went well. Alternate other game went well and last boss suck. This is my luck my every speedruns.
This gameplay itself not was good like 12.17 yesterdays. I was about 20 seconds behind it when i enter last boss. This time i got last boss really well done compared my other runs. It was somewhere par like Votava fight.
11.48.
Finally sub 12 reached
I´ll keep redoing my run
BTW enjoy with this. Í´ll hope run somewhere 11.2x range. Let see how cool my run is then.
I´ll keep playing. I think this is my final posted run outside in SDA. I´ll check out this mountain route again and its might save some seconds using Votava route here. Also its might be very possible skip one more 1 up. Maybe even 2 but its might be too risky in any serious speedruns.
Now i´ll back with this questions. This look votava used different route than TAS. And its look TAS route was slightly slower than Votava route, just don,t know why TAS used slower route. I just timed TAS climping up was only one shy seconds faster Votava run. So i thinking Votava route would lower TAS run even more with few seconds.
This started are very close stanard i think. I just make some stupid errors. Volcano boss not went very well. Also i haved some bad luck with end of the final boss.
11.43 in archive
Yeah i agree mooh point. "very soon" My Jackal run was submited 27th ocotober 2009 and its not are site yet. Its will take half year a today. Couple year ago verification process went much more faster. But yeah if updates happen once per 2 week its may take forever. Over half year maybe.
I think you would take it down by 10 minutes. Let see. I can,t wait see your sub hour 100% run on PAL. This category is hellish hard.
Nice time your test run. My own best 100% PAL time is 1.05 (very high)
BTW. I´ll keep running that frustrating game even more. If i got sub 11 i think it is surely enought for me.
Also current TAS route in last level sounds really slow one. There is also one even more faster route than Votava run, but its extremely difficult perform so i think i´ll used Votava route here.
So i think this game never can,t be done perfectly on console. But sub 11 is surely possible with extremely lucky attempt.
This game is just freaking random one. I just work my luck my every attempts. Where enemys located wrong places take me 50% energy per hit and kill me almost instantly. Escaped in water boss are freaking frustrating one. It s usually ruin my run 90% of the time.
Orginal goal is completed. I not was too happy yet. Many things went well but also a lot stupid mistakes. I´ll hope my final product are sub 11 minutes. This game started really tired me now. Its took me always 2-3 hours beat this game once and always many things went wrong.
11.21
Iron Sword in
So i think im not are very good to say how good this one is.
This is always ironic why nobody runner never are too happy his own run. Even Frezyman keep redo his Contra run over and over even his run is awesome IMO.
Just hard compared it because route is so different. My dream goal is sub 11 minutes.Yesterday spending hold night playing without luck beat that. I´ll keep that progress at least couple months. If it look i can,t redo that i maybe try submited. But yeah its not reach my dream run yet. But many really hard things went well done like volcano boss and sky level. Last boss was avarage one.
Any comment about this? Its stanard and its look it better than votava run?
Let see going i try started redo that in next week or keep i some days break. Yeah this is very good run though. I think it is better than Votava run. My last boss was 8 seconds slower than Votava run. My sky level was surely about 10-20 seconds faster than votava run.
11.21 in archive
Hope you got working NES and good controlls. I can,t wait see your run. Its might be so awesome.
I remember when i bough NES in ebay. My Nes power button was broken. I changed power button my PAL Nes and its got working.
AWESOME AWESOME
But IMO this was quite good run and surely good enought in SDA. And its looks most peoples liked it much.
Yeah some wall stuck and memory mistakes, but these ones cost me some hundreds so even better gameplay not make game 20 seconds faster to beat. Let see go im even redo that in future. Yeah its fact 20 seconds away with this is not are real trouble.
Good run is accept. Verification always need one asshole verifer who reject it.
NES-versio
Usually if i haved less than 2 lifes i not have much chances beat that fight.
Four elements mountain *Most random things entire game. Its impossible perfected on console. Boss lost random amount damage with your hits. Its can lost 3 bar or 1 bar depend how well you hit. Maded all critical hits are impossible on console.
pit 2 Easy overall. Bats can be dangerous.
Ice fire mountain base *These fires coming random and if you got critical hit with fire its can cost 50% your energys. This often happen me here.
LEVEL 5 Pit *This part is easy. I not usually ruin my game here
Earth realm lower. *Bats and red guys are random. These appeared randomly and are very dangerous. Boss fight take me usually about half my energys away. There is one glitch but i never got it working well enought
Also there is some difficult jumps are annoying ones.
LEVEL 4 Earth realm. *This part ruin my game so often. This fucking ghost before & after tankard are really random one. This enemy kill instant hit and its appeared very random places. This are killed much good runs.
Volcano inside *Quite easy. This flying enemy is random and dangerours its make me death sometimes. Boss fight is not random, but its quite hard find correct rhythm
Volcano outside *This area is quite easy for me if i not make any stupid here. Money route are taking some resets. I need 2300 gold and sometimes i have less it.
LEVEL 3 Volcando pit *This is random area. These geysers are random. I hate that part.
Water *Nothing else hard. But escaping after water boss is so random. I reset about 90% all attempts here
LEVEL 2 Forest *After entrances frog pit. There is random enemys when i falling down. These enemys are really dangerous ones. I usually die and its take me many resets.
Sky *If yellow guys falling onto my head. This guy kill you instantly or almost. Its always take good 80% energys. *These fucking tornados are really annoying
Mountain *I try survive up with enought energys. I usually reset if i got hit with big meat (enemys drops randomly) or lost too many energys. Golden egg jump is not too hard for me. I make it correct about 80% of the time
Thanks. Yeah this game requires heavy amount luck. I just didn,t know much random games like this. Where you need luck here LEVEL 1
This attempt went really well otherwise but not luck got hit with last boss. Most important things in last boss are make a lot critical hits. I not know how it happen. Sometimes boss lost whole 3 energy per hit sometimes only one. This make console players lost a lot time here. This critical hits seems really random to make.
My best attempt i have 10 seconds ahead my 11.21 run when i enter in last boss, but last boss suck and final time blow sligtly over 12 minutes.
No luck sub 11 yet. Several hours keep playing and got a lot head ache with this game.
Also i did it without used silverfleeche spell. So silver fleeche would be skipped on console speedruns. But last boss is just freaking dangerous if you got hit with it.
EDIT. I did last boss video. Its took me about 30 attempts make last boss quick like this. Its about 20 seconds faster than my "avarage" fight my SS speedruns. Also its good 10 seconds faster than fight in votava run. If i can got fight like this and play run optimize my final time would be are 10.45
Let see have i any patient redo that anymore. Its fact it is overall much faster than votava run. My last boss was still slower like always. Votava haved incredible luck make critical damges with boss. Its weird fact i not know why boss lost sometimes lost less than 1 bar or sometimes whole 3 bar energy per hit. Its make very big time lost if you not make enought critical hits with elements.
This seems absolutely max console time limit are 10.30-10.40 range. Its requires extremely well gameplay and awesome luck with last boss. Its so pain ass im not never are maded faster boss fight than 1 minute & 30 seconds. Its surely possible got sub minutes boss fight but its might be insanely difficult in SS run. Overall my best run was very well played. When i enter in final boss i haved tie my best sub time. Its haved chances got sub 11 minutes run but i not haved enought luck with boss.
Its seems really hard got sub 11 minutes. I got four almost as fast as run. This last one was fastest gameplay. I have really bad luck with end of the last fight. But i got really awesome starting with boss and its make me made this fight overall well done.
Run 1: 11.19 Run 2: 11.25 Run 3: 11.17 Run 4: 11.14
About 5 hours and 200-300 speedrun attempts later i got beat game times order
EDIT Im not are played Final fantasy. But Final fantasy 1 TAS run is 1h 10 and this look run in nicole video is so much slower. Over twice longer than TAS. Its not seem very optimize. But i just not are played that game so i can,t know which make TAS run so much faster.
I just can,t believe all runs here, many impossible things on console like SM 64 runs. Maybe cheated runs or toolassist runs. We can,t know it.
Its might be TAS like many runs in this site.
Its usually take good 1-2 hours pass two first level through with passable speed.
But yeah i can,t say which is perfect human limit. This game is just too luck base beat perfectly and last boss never can going like TAS.
This run includes tons minor mistakes. Most was just bad luck. There is not any major mistakes. If someone want redo that run welcomed to try it. I´ll let it that and i´ll submit it. If someone going reject this its not are played that game enought.
Last boss went much better than it normally going. Im not have very good hit luck. But i make much critical damage hits with here and its make it really well done.
Finally after two weeks and about 600-700 runs later i reached sub 11 minutes. This is absolutely not perfect gameplay. I started that slower than i usually did. When i enter last level i was about 10 seconds behind my best. I just have horrible enemy locations in earth realm.
10.55
Iron sword in
Thats it
JES
-You not need take silverfleeche but its are really hard skip -Volcano boss not went too well. Its was avarage one -Really bad enemy locations in lower earth realm -One really bad mistake in last boss (its still was my best last boss what i am maded my speedruns) -Its can be done less extra lifes collected and less deaths. Zero deaths run are "impossible" on console. But i think 2 deaths run would be possible with extreme luck. I never are beat game less than 4 deaths -Less minor mistakes with starting
Where this run can be better?
I did die 4 times: Death 1: Level 3 volcano first pit Death 2: Earth realm higher Death 3: Earth boss (i have last energy because this red guys take me 75% all my energys) Death 4: Last boss (im not never are maded it without deaths) Maybe good magfest 2011 challenge make this done without deaths.
I hope you guys not are waiting see super awesome run, because its not are it, even its was freaking hard to make. But its surely done less mistakes than Votava run. I make one less death than votava. Also i collect one less extra life than votava. My last fight was maybe only couple shy seconds faster than Votava run. Sky level not went very well, but still a lot better level run than Votava did.
Yeah i´ll submit it to Nate maybe a today or a tommorrow.
Awesome to see there is couple peoples who loved see this run.
0-Star run not look good, because quality suck too much i just cannot watch it. Is there any versio difference between US or JPN versio? I just wonder why nobody in SDA never managed make 0-1 star run. I just can,t believe japanesse players are better. Is there autofire used or is glitches in JPN versio easier? I remember TAS told 0 star is frame perfected make and its hard even used TAS.
But otherwise this run went nearly perfect.
1: Death in tick tock clock cost 8 seconds 2: Air ship star in rainbow ride suck.
There was two bad mistake
I watched out SM 64 70 star run. This run was awesome and yeah quality told me its done using real console.
Awesome news. Can,t wait see your runs.
Nice.
I just wanted see your real run and i hope i can verifer it. But i already ywatched out your 15.20 and its seem really good expect 4 deaths.  Just can,t eveen imagine how well your final product might look. You make croc doc look noob Even his run was so awesome too.
I not are yet. I maybe check out it, maybe not.
I am watched some your videos and you are good runner IMO.
1.03 is not are bad time. I think its would be submited & accepted. But we hope see better run too, hopefully sub hour. And these nicole videos players can be fakes. Played used tons cheats and etc....
BTW run is submited now. We needs verifers next
Let see want someone got this challenge try beat it. I just not want spend anymore time with this game. Its too big luck base run that game with perfectly.
Its surely good run. Hard to compared Mr Votava run because route changed very much. But i guess this seems better quality too. My first level only was 11 seconds faster and there is not much different in routes in first level.
Thanks.
Its fact run is timed wrong. It is low 8.53 or very high 8.52. But i not care its very minor thing.
Comments are welcomed.
Finally this run is up
But its might be seperate category because Croc run is done without deaths. No deaths are always cooler though.
Surely.
Dragorn SDA run was awesome year 2006. But with current day tricks used its can be easily 10 minutes faster. But its surely very hard beat that game with optimize speed with all hard trick used.
IMO this not was very great looking run even it beat Dragorn run by several minutes. He used a lot cool new tricks (not was founded when Dragorn beat his own run). But when i watched this through i am sure sub 2 hours is very possible. This look 1.56-1.57 would be possible 120 star time on console. Let see want someone got beat 120 star under 2 hours. But i am sure it is possible.
This JPN runner make 120 star run about 5 minutes faster even this run includes several deaths (death in course 12 cost about 2-3 minutes) Also he falling down into sky (this cost surely 1-2 minutes). Also he did tons rough mistakes around the game. Especially course 14 went really suck compared 70 star run.
It is cool see how much more Dragorn 120 star SDA run would be better.
I guess there might be better map route. I watched this run several times through and i pointed there might be one better route. I just not founded it then when i working on that. If i try redo that in future i´ll look out new routes and also try got better quality run. but right now this was really good one.
Nice to see this is accept. Its not surprise i was 99.9% sure this run is accepted when i did it, because it is my best run so far and it is almost par as Feasel. Its first run where every verifers accept my run and this make me very happy.
But i agree my main areas went 5-6 seconds total slower than feasel did. but we need add all extra areas and its make game longer.
But its just not very good idea compared my run with feasel, because this is seperate & longer category and even i was little slower with certain places its not are big deal in hard game like this.
I am also tested several different routes but i not founded these save any important times. Though i skip some risky tricks in later levels, because these make me dying game too often. But its fact my run is very, very close fast as feasel run and 100% run includes more lenght. I agree my area 9 & 12 was total about 15 seconds slower than feasel did his run. My area 6 was whole 10 seconds faster than feasel & areas 5 & 10 went also about 3 seconds faster total than feasel did. In other main areas i lost 1-2 seconds feasel run i can,t compared area 7, because feasel haved fire weapon. So i can,t say my run is any slower total. You maybe need watch feasel run back and timed both runs main areas individually you surely would see there is not any serious differents for speed. My routes was different, but i think it was even faster with certain places
I also played area 2 used very different route than my speedrun, but i timed it is as fast as my route in my speedrun. I not thinking go through slimes used lower route before boss room save any seconds time also this method are quite difficult perform without dying. This run went really well, but i was only 1 seconds faster here than my speedrun where i make some mistakes and used very different route.
There is faster route in Area 1 first part. But i not wanted used it because its caused me tons resets make extra grapple and i was thinking it is only 1 seconds faster.
I am also pointed out different strategys which make game even more faster. But these ones are usually too hard and risky managed in speedruns. I played every levels individually in youtube and every levels are played faster than my speedrun expect Area 6 which was my best run ever my SS attempt.
I´ll look out it again and compared how much better your intentions seems.
I not like your area 9 route, because its seem hard and risky. Yeah my starting jump into gap was my mistake and its not was intention. Its cost me at least one second . I haved bad luck with mine carts what i normally not have. When you enter into boss its looks you not was much faster even i make tons minor time lost here.
*****************************
Area 8 route was nice for you too. I can also make it little bit faster with my own route used, but i usually waiting these bullets in speedrun, because these usually can ruin grapple and its cost quite much time. Its seems you was very minor amount faster so my route seems also as fast as. But maybe your route is less random. Let see. But its seems very good too.
**************************
I watched it. **************** Your area 1 was freaking nice job also this run are maybe taking so long for you, because this seems very hard overall.  But i can,t say anythings. Its look your Area 1  was good couple (5 seconds) seconds faster than my way. Also my Area 1 was 3 seconds slower than my best individually level. But you rock here and stuffs seem new for me. *********** Im not say anything in Area 5. It seems used my route is overall faster, but i just make mistake here. If you check out my any-% 17.32 run in archive you would be see coolest area 5 first part. Its went almost well what i was planned. ******************************* I know Area 3 through elevator glitch but its not seems any faster. There i also make mistakes what i not plan make. Its look you was very minor amount time faster here.
Most awesome moment in speedrunning are when you reached something really great and watched your run back and you are happy enought. But its fact nobody runner never are too happy with his own product. Expect maybe andrewg because his SMB run not includes any rooms where you can drop time more than some hundreds.
But good luck with speedrunning. Its fun if you not try too hard. But if you mean going try got run up into site you really need loved game, because you usually need spend weeks non stop playing.
I normally are really liked games what i am speedrunning into site, expect WW 2 Iron Sword. This is never are my favorite game. I just wanted got this challenge and this was only reason why i speedrunning that.
Its recommend you really loved game.  Speedrunning and sbreaking is fun if you haves avarage experience about game and make speedruns outside in SDA. I can told make accetable run into site is freaking frustrating and stressful and it is everything else than fun make very  ood run
I started speedrunning 2005 but i started recorder games until 2007-2008.
My PAL DVD recorded NTSC games as well. I only need seperate disc 50-60hz games. But otherwise no matter, i can recorder PAL and NTSC games using same DVD recorder.
Are you plan try low-% SS speedrun? Its allow got wooden sword, but minimal possible items (3 hearths like your challenge). This might be great to see especially if you can make it without large mistakes. I think category like this is not are possible speedrun solid like any-% runs, but its just might be awesome challenge and surely great to see in SDA too.
I already watched your 1st quest challenge. This was so crazy. Nice job, i liked Dungeons 8 & 9. I personally never was survive alive through this challenge.
I think new "max" limit would be are 10.51. But yeah this look almost perfect as SMB 1 & 3 WR run. So there is very minor rooms improvement.
1: Bowser castle. He mess up enter in boss room. Cost maybe about 1 seconds or less 2: Last hit with Bowser seems slower than other hits. Cost maybe 1 seconds.
I watched any-% run. This looks it beat current WR by 6 seconds. And its beat SDA "perfect run goal" by 3 seconds. I am hearing peoples here are talking about max limit on console are 10.56. This run was really awesome. I still pick up two very minor mistake here
But otherwise i not see any troubles. But i can,t know what other verifers will thinking your deaths but i think so there is not any troubles got accept.
But im not sure obsolete this current WR run because with deaths is "always" seperate categor?.
I am quite sure its accepted. If i am verifer i´ll surely accepted it because this seems awesome time and it is big improvement over previous run.
But yeah if you wanted try i really hope see no death run about same speed as your 14.40. Its might be cooler though. But if you can,t i think you not need worry about rejection.
But its fact verifers not like deaths. One verifer reject my Jackal run when i accidentally die in level 5 its cost 2-3 seconds and it was easily my biggest mistake my hold run. But luckily other verifers accept it. I understand your nervous submit run because we can,t know what verifers thinking.
Just weird how almost 2 minutes improvement can be reject even there is deaths. I can,t reject it and i understand your pain make no death run.
2: Wart was awesome. Make this door appeared faster when you throw vegetable with grey colour wart?
1: Used key against Birdo (1-2). Is this faster? Its seem faster IMO, because its take forever when Birdo spy out eggs. But though you lost time got key into pipe so hard to say is this any faster. What do you thinking?
I see two new tips for me.
I watched through andrewg magfest live attempt.
I think i haved potential try speedrun that one too. WR into site are 12.37, but it sounds beatable. Is there any new tips?
I played it on emulator and its not are done for speed. I just got fun and make it mostly because i loved music in this game.
All bosses beat without taking any damage:
But if you guys want see perfect boss guide into game i haved it:
Im not are speedrunning that yet, but i am interested make speedrun if i got working game my real NES.
One most greatest NES games ever. I bought game in ebay, hopefully i got working game cart. Maybe coming in end of the next week. I am played Blue shadow (Eu-versio shadow of the ninja) its one my favorite game when i was child.
But its fact TAS run could be better. There was some wrong intentions like level 2 boss was much slower than Liger did his console run.
But its fact there is very minor rooms improvement. But if i got working game cart i´ll try at least casual speedrun in this game let see then how much i´ll lost WR run. I´ll test some new stratgies (luckily game has level select code) and i can see how much faster i can make certain spots.
I watched this run through it seems certainly better than TAS with some places. Like runners used bombs with 2nd boss was about 4-5 seconds faster fight than TAS did.
BTW know anyone a today how it is possible skip last boss like TAS did? I test several strategys, but i just can,t founded way make it. I never are see any information with this.
JPN versio
NTSC versio
I did two vid with last boss. I just look out version differences. Im not never thinking last boss on JPN version are almost joke compared NTSC fight. At least twice easier
There is no life without Mike
About mine cart boss there is one good strategy. (working every versions tested)
I did beat Singe with dagger only used PAL version. Its absolutely not possible on NTSC and its very hard on PAL too. On PAL & JPN version boss take 10 more hits take down than NTSC. Used axe 30 hits is required (used dagger 58-60 if i counted right)
********************************** About other stuffs
PAL version Its doesn,t not work because these flying guys never appeared in last level. Yeah i trying long even i haved golds. These never appeared
JPN version (Boss really disappear and its not are even difficult perform that. Only hard thing are beat level without losting golds:
NTSC version (look like here even Singe disappeared he never lost and he always kill you, also he never stop blow baby dragons, but smokey puffs can,t hurt you. Also game freeze happen quite often)
About Singe skip. Its working JPN version only. I find it easy to make. Its happen when flying money guy appeared. I did also VID about this
I did a lot research with this game
How about you. Any plan speedrun that? Theoretical current PAL run is beatable time. most you can haved more luck with Singe and save good 10 seconds.
On PAL i can beat Singe about 1/5 attempts so he is SO,SO much easier on PAL than NTSC version.
I not haved game my real Nes yet. Speedrunning Dragon lair with NTSC version are out my plans in near future. I can beat Singe about 1/100 attempts on NTSC so i was extremely lucky when i once beat that game without savestates, i think i never can beat it without any dying for speed.
Its might be good idea used flames with certain places on PAL. Its make bosses sligtly slower, but only couple seconds, expect grimreaper is really slow beat used flames IMO. LAst level is faster though. Only one flame is enough kill each baby dragon. Also Singe seems almost as fast as used flame. I think axe is still better overall because its save all time against grimmy.
There is speedtrick vide with last Dragon. Its very hard make without dying used axes
I did test run last level (PAL) Its not are optimize but its show some strategys. I skip two baby dragons (WR skip one)
There is another fun glitch. Not save time. But if you scroll screen correctly in last level you can kill most baby dragons without need used your weapons IIRC its working NTSC version too.
Grim reaper speedtrick on PAL-version. I beat him under 10 seconds. This is very risky and random strategy. Fucking cool though
EDIT 3*********** MORE STUFF***********************************************
Its little bit easier take baby dragons out if you used flames on PAL. This is my flame fight on PAL
Yeah 2 fire and 4 daggers is required on NTSC and 1 fire and 3 dagger is enought on PAL. If you used axes like most players its always take two hits with both versions.
EDIT 2: I find new version difference (at least news for me) Baby dragons take more hits to kill on NTSC than PAL if you used dagger or fire.
I beat this boss in 10-11 seconds. I think it is fastest strategy what can found.
TIPS: Throw two axes before you enter the boss. Your must be throw both before room flash this caused extra damages with 2nd troll.
EDIT: I did minecart trolls even more faster. This is 4 seconds faster than my previous vid (6-7 seconds faster than fight in WR run). I just find better strategy.
There was some unlucky smoke puffs and baby dragons, but its very lucky fight overall. I know fight like this might be too risky make in speedruns. But theoretical Singe would be almost 20 seconds faster than fight in WR speedrun.
Its really luck base beat this boss quickly. I think perfect fight would be 5-10 seconds more faster what i did. Its took me 4-5 minutes make this. Only one savestate used (before i enter boss).
I did speed video with Singe. I did it 14 seconds faster than fight in WR run. Its also done on PAL-version
Now i can say sub 6.30 is surely possible with human luck. Hard to say how much luck you need got sub 6 minutes run on console but its surely theoretical possible too.
If i got beat bosses better its only enought rush current WR run. Also every levels are possible play faster and riskier. I just stop way too much. These eggs guys into last level are pain ass. These randomly drops eggs. I played these guys extremely cautions like WR did too.
Trolls (i lost 5-6 seconds with my best) Grimmy (i lost 30 seconds with my best fight) Yeah but maded perfect fight is really random i think 1/30 attempts. Current WR runner also did really lucky fight, but its not are perfect but surely better than my run) Singe (i lost 11 seconds with my best fight) (I was still 3 seconds faster than fight in WR run)
Better last level than last time. I was still unlucky with boss fight.
7.18 24 seconds slower than WR.
EDIT: I did another improvement
Annoying i not haved game my real NES so i played it with emulator used SDA rules. Its my best casual speedrun right now. But i think if i haved time and motivations i´ll try beat it and i know with risky and lucky attempt i can got beat SDA WR run. But its fact i never submit it because i not have PAL Nes. Im not are interested speedrun NTSC because last boss is way too frustrating
There is my boss run where i show perfect boss guides with real time
BTW this is my 7.57 first run into game
Also my Grimreaper was a lot more cautions than WR runner did. I just never survive against him with risky strategy used. But i surprise how much better run would be possible than SDA run. I lost only 1 minute & 3 seconds SDA run which not sounds much compared how caution this one was. I think 6.30 even sub 6 minutes is possible on real NES with extremely risky gameplay. Without ugly death in last level my run was are 7.30 or less and even then its not was are too good. But yeah this game is challenge.
I Got beat game in 7.57 on PAL. Its went surprisely fast even i played last level incredible cautions (if i was played it very risky my run was are par as current WR in SDA). Also i got two deaths my run last one cost me 30 seconds. First one was intention. I think its would save time fill your energys and make more runs through enemies
I did first single segment speedrun into game
EDIT Are you plan try redo your run in future? Some new tips are founded all around.
Also i find one glitch. I think its not are useful any console runs. But its might save some frames in TAS runs maybe not, but its looks still fucking cool
Its not are normally possible run through first pendlum without dying. Wizphix did it though, but if you stay stop skull into air then pendlum are automatically correct spot. But its save some seconds time if you crawl first part through. Look out this upper vid do you see it.
There is one speedtrick in reaper domain
Usually PAL games running with 50hz speed and i not sure count emulatos that difference.  Thanks you told it im not just pointed out it already.
Oh yeah. This seems used real NES game haved more lags than on emulators and its seems it make slower used real NES. Like a lot TAS vid its seems running freaking fast, but im not sure is JPN even more faster version than PAL.
I still will to say even i lost about 48 seconds by WR run its not seems too fast. But yeah i can say sub 6 minutes is absolutely not possible with PAL speed. But sub 6.30 would be are.
I haved really bad luck with money guys. Money thiefs never appeared in this run and its cost me total 10 seconds i think. Also i skip some hard tricks which kill me often. I don,t going through first pendlum in reaper domain. Which cost me about 5 seconds or more. But i was bored make it because its kill me 80% of the time and its near frame perfect trick. Also i not skip first Dragon in last level like last time because its also random one to make and overall my games goes quite well.  There was also big bad cautions with some places into levels. Also i did two intention death like last time. I think death in level 3 is even faster fill energy once back. But i think i not need make it beginning level 4 but its usually run my energys very low.
Though my run was still quite cautions. This time every bosses went very well includes grimreaper.
This seems WR run is harder to beat what i thinking first. Though i find PAL mode easier run, because i haved more reaction time for example in elevator shafts, which is one hardest part with NTSC speed.
I did PAL (50hz mode) run in 7.42. I think this was are easily under 7 minutes with NTSC speed (my brother count 6.25 with 60hz speed). Hard to say time differences between 50-60hz mode but i was about 50 seconds slower than WR.
Well i see my two previous run was done with NTSC speed. Emulator not automatically changes speed back of PAL mode.
Nice style. I am always like walk. But i am always nervous at this point and maded it slow.
And hell yeah NTSC version not are good, because survive against last boss without any dying is big bad luck base end of the game especially if you try run game cool at all.
I haved only NTSC Nes. PAL games doesn,t work and if even work these will running with 60hz speed. Only hope if game appeared on WII virtual console i´ll bought it and then i am interested try real speedrun.
But as far as i can tell. This is my last run played on emulator. I only can try redo it if i haved game on real Nes.
I´ll hope wizphix will watch this run. If he are interested try redo his own one. Also i wanted know make emulator PAL settings game run even more slower than real PAL game on console? I just can,t find places where i lost too much WR run. I did die twice but this make time lost at most 10 seconds total. I am quite sure emulator run speed are slower with PAL settings than PAL games run on console. This look whiphix walking faster his run.
I used almost all new tricks and almost all tricks what wizphix told me yesterday. Yeah this seems almost all tricks is succesfully done in this run.
I not haved any idea where i lost time with WR run. Maybe these emulation PAL settings going even slower than real Nes speed. IMO many intention in my run seems better. But i can,t just say because i not haved player where i can test it.
7.20
Well i did awesome run (Pal speed settings)
Good luck if you try going to beat this run. I just not haved any idea where this run could be faster it was so close perfection IMO. Its better look out TAS run and try used most tricks like TAS. Also if you can manipulated instant kill with Bat boss is not way too random because its very beging of the game, but its might take tons resets.
I was verifer new Castlevania run and its seems near perfect run expect there not was used damage glitches against bosses but i agree these ones are way too random make on console speedruns so we never will see it in speedruns " expect maybe would be possible manipulated bat boss with extremely patient attempt.
Yeah i agree damage glitches working with real time too. But yeah these ones are incredible random. I am made it twice against 1st Dracula (much before TAS was even founded it) I still not know how it working it seems just luck.
Good luck. This game is hard as hell speedrun. If you wanted see awesome run you are better watch 36 minutes run in Nicole video. This run includes tons awesome tricks all around and its seems very optimize too. Also i haved some tricks stuff in youtube.
This is quite avarage game i´ll hope see run into SDA too. I am sure this game will got verifers if nobody not. I´ll play it through.
I am played that game too, but never beat it through so i can,t are verifer. Its look it is hard time find verifers with rare games like this. This was mostly reason why i stop run Joe & Mac Nes, because this looks nobody not was played that game and i not got any comments in forum.
But its fact i know every manipulate drop depends your points i am 99,9% sure with this. I´ll hope strategy got fire weapon requires at least 10600 points. You can,t got it before 3-2 i know because TAS pick up it until here.
Also boss patterns depend points. Boss pattern changed if you collect different amount points. I did something 100 test attempt with savestates and find how manipulated random stuff. Though points coming random into game. Its depend how you kill boss fight and etc.. So you can,t know how much points you got with bosses. Game maybe changed points limit after every resets then you can,t know how manipulated weapons drops but if game not changed this will make fire drop easier in future.
This look every random drops depend how much points you haved. i did several test about fire drop in 3-2 i got fire weapon "always" when i haved somewhere 10600-10650 points. Its never coming if i haved less than 10600.
I test some random stuffs in this game.
This game is impossible with perfected. This run was quite good on real Nes used. All comments are welcomed.  I´ll also hope someone are played that game and know how game work on.
Im not know going i submit this one because i not know is there verifers. I know sub 8.30 is possible but its requires more luck with bosses. Boss patterns are always differents (you can only manipulated perfect boss patterns and weapons used toolassist) My point theory doesn,t not work with skills because its always requires different amount points so you can,t manipulated boss patterns or weapons on console speedruns.
Finally got both drops. Its took me about 3 hours and this was only attempt where i got both weapons. I was quite happy with this run. There not was any very bad errors.
8.52
You make Hotarubi look noob
You play like crazy. Can,t wait see that one.
54 WTF?
This seems cheat IMO.
I wonder is this even allowed in SDA? If you mean submit your run?
Im not are played hard mode. Any difference between normal & hard?
If you mean try reach no death run you are not allowed used death glitch then. Otherwise all is allowed.
I am really, really, really interested see run with this game. Im not personally can,t even believe is "no death" run humanly possible even normal mode, because there is very easy die. Many wrong timing jump or shy hit with most enemie kill you instantly, but like Kareshi did his GnG run without deaths i thinks everything is possible if you are crazy enought. There is TAS run
I think im not are very motivated try better run soon. This game is just way too luck based perfection and this run was quite lucky overall. Im not are played Snes version but i am hear its has very differents controlls and gameplay overall. Its nice to hear you are played that game and you can are potential verifer. You are maybe first who are played that game.
Boss in 4-2 was also quite good. Also i avoid all zero hits round. But i make critical damage only once and its make much important time lost (TIPS: you can make critical damage with bosses if you throw flame vertically and you are very close boss faces) Look out 3-2 & 4-1 boss fights. These ones are much faster to beat if you used flame. Otherwise flame not caused any more damage with bosses than stone wheel. Its just as effective. Im not sure how critical damage working on 4-2 boss, but its sometimes happen if i did perfect hit when boss flies low. Its important overall and its might save several seconds in speedruns but its just lucky and precise.
Also i often mess up boss fights totally. There is important boss fights like flying predators in 2-2 & 4-2 and also 3-1 boss is important which luckily went very well here. I was glad my 2-2 fight there not was any zero hit rounds which is extremely rare. Usually little predators ruin some throws and very often zero hit rounds coming. Avarage fight haved 1-2 zero hit round
I am glad you are liked my run. Yeah drops are randomly to got, especially fire and its are middle of the game. Stone wheel located in 1-2 its not are big deal manipulated. Though my last run i haved incredible bad luck and its usually take me 10 attempts per each drop. Very often i miss game in 2-1 when 2nd plant spy acid with me and falling me into water. Also these happen randomly, plants spy acid random timing.
Wow. Awesome see there is peoples who is interesting enought and hopefully can verifer my run too (if i going submit)
BTW there was really much nice things. My day is not enought count everythings. Totally this run was freaking cool. I like this even more than your any-% run (maybe reason with this are 100% run are longer and there is tons more awesome tricks). AWESOME JOB CONGRATS
I like also how you did pre draygon shine spark on PAL. You going through half rooms and its look incredible good. Its normally took me over 100 attempts to make it well like this.
Since when you did beat Phantoon your run started went really well. I just not pick up any sloppy mistakes i was almost shock to see how much crazy tricks you performs and your speed looking so cool. Many things was also news for me. I like how you did shine spark pre wrecked ship ET. I just never knew you can make it through falling platforms and its also look quite easy.
When i watch that run first 15-20 minutes its not look very special. Runner did a lot minor mistakes everywhere. Miss damage boost and etc.. Also phantoon went descent, but i agree he is incredible random for speed. (I was still hoping to see bomb torizo skip & Phantoon 2 round fight) But i agree these ones are way too crazy in SS run and i totally agree runner intention didn,t make these tricks.
I watched it. This run was fucking incredible. Its look runner are octobus. He changed weapons so quickly and perform a lot incredible tricks its looks runner haved a lot fingers or hands. I like how runner did quick charges. This first one into maridia is extremely difficult. Its only one what i never are maded even i am trying it several times
This is played on real time without savestates. He used some autofire, but spread speed not seems any faster than frezy run IMO. So this equal console run even it is played on emulator. Part 1 Part 2
Are you watched thezeth 13.16 (equal 13.06 with SDA rules) Thezeth started clock when push start button into menu.
Great time.
But improvement is always improvement. Its beat previous run by 17 seconds. Most time coming with predator fight in 2-2 which is one most important thing hold run.
Also 2nd predator was quite good maybe par like last run. Last boss went quite well too. 1-2 boss haved very bad pattern but i not still lost much time. 5-1 boss pattern was near flawless, i was really happy with this one. Also 3-1 boss went quite well. Pattern not was my best, but its not seems too worst.
I did 2-2 predator 4 round faster which is my best fight ever (its maybe only reason why i redo my previous run a so lot my 2-2 boss was 15 seconds faster and i redo my previous run by 17 seconds). I was so close make it even one round faster, but unluckily miss it. This fight usually ruin my runs and its always frustrated start hold game again and manipulated stone wheel again. Predator fights are so random Big predator and mini predators used always different attack pattern so best of luck.
My level gameplay was one my best my 8.52 run. This time i did a lot more sloppy mistakes especially in 2-2 & 5-2. 5-1 was par like last time so its not was so good. Other levels went well enought almost non stop.
8.35. Again it take me another 3 hours improve my previous vid. I count good 100 or more attempts.
new record is
Well i did beat this one
Have anyone else that trouble?
This is reason why i not wanted change game carts everyday, because it always took forever before game turn on.
I bought Snake revenge into ebay. I am trying turn it on about 2 hours. I know cart is not are dirty i am clean it several times used vacuum cleaner my game carts and Nes. All games still not want turn on and every games take long before turning.
I hate turn on my Nes. Its usually take me 30-45 minutes turn on each game. My Nes like blink red light over and over. I not never haved that trouble then if i once got game working and as long as i keep game cart inside my console, then its never blink. But always when i going change my game cart then its always take forever turn on new game.
I got Snake revenge working too. Its took two and half hours, but its finally got working. I think i not going change game cart next two weeks.
It depend little bit game cart too. Contra & Joe & Mac usually start play after 5-10 minutes on/off attempts, almost every other games took forever turn on.
im not haved any experience about replacing. But i agree there is surely some connection troubles because when game cart got turn on once its never blink if i not change game.
EDIT Oh i see Zenic put link up. But its fact there is way too less screenshots about this.
I just give order with 72 pin connector. If i win i´ll bought it. But its fact i not haved any idea how replace it hopefully i got some instruction. This all is news for me.
Video was really awesome thanks.
Awesome to hear you seriously started recorded that game. I´ll love see your runs. This game is freaking good, but as well freaking hard to beat without dying.
I am also interested see no death run in this game especially on hard mode, its maybe even harder to make because there is more acts.
Yeah warp is allowed but yeah then category is with deaths and it is seperate category.
Yes
SPEEDRUN V1: 55:58 SPEEDRUN V2: 53:53 SPEEDRUN V3: 52:03 SPEEDRUN V4: 49.53 (no deaths)
EDIT******************************************** Look out 2nd post. My newest route plan are updated. I´ll fix/updated it even more if i find new and better stuffs.
I think it is good idea collect all normal hostages in first building, because it seems way too hard beat two bosses with rank 1 only like TAS did this will requires random drops and very hard boss encounters and maybe so backtrack collect enought items. So i thinking collect rank two before first boss is good idea on console runs.
I can beat ship level much faster than thezeth did. You not need care hostages here, because game automatically add all hostages after beat ship. I also let enough explosives after first building and this make me ready to fight boss fight.
Also i think used some explosive against first boss is better intention than bullets. Explosive is most effective weapon entire game and its can hit with many enemy with one hit.
BTW about thezeth run Part 2/5 (0.06-0.24) This is possible skip these block like TAS. Its not very hard, but quite precise though. Its save good 10 seconds and let some explosive
I am sure i can make this game through used better routes. Im not still never follow TAS route because its seems nearly impossible on console. Game is quite linear, there is only one real sbreak (also thezeth used it) You need rank 4 to beat game.
Thezeth already did nice run (somewhere around 50 minutes) 1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5
I also see SDA not haved speedrun with this game. I think my goal is got accetable run maybe somewhere end of the this year. Game is really hard enougt speedrun, much harder than orginal Metal gear which is actually very easy game. So i think this is my next long project like my Bionic commando run which take me over 3 months.
I also bought Shadow of the ninja but Nes turning on is frustrating enought so i changed my plans and i decide spend much time play with this game
I bought Metal gear 2 Snake revenge into ebay some days ago. I completed game first time two day ago. This is really awesome Nes game, more cooler than orginal Metal Gear IMO. Also a lot harder.
Awesome see new finnish assist speedrun. Damn great job.
Congrats.
I loved see more runs with this game. Its might be awesome to see if someone here can make it better than DK28. His run rock.
Yeah i work ID tabbles about year ago. I got stopped it after DK28 did his awesome SS run. I personally find SS run way too hard and random for me.
Its fact i have to practice a most 2d action parts. These ones are so big pain ass for me. Drain every rations (totally 7 rations in last level only) These 2d actions are also random and there is most dangerous enemys entire game. Its very easy lost rations here.
I did test run. Ended 55.58 (its had two deaths (cost one minutes total) Also i played it through extremely cautions +tons minor mistakes with cards and etc... I think final product would be are somewhere 45 minutes range, maybe even faster depend how much faster my route was than thezeth run.
EDIT********************************************************
Its look easy on paper. But this game is hard as hell. I haved most troubles in 2d walking sections. These ones take tons my rations and every sections are random as hard. Also last boss is very annoying. Without armor vest you will die with two hits so rations is required IMO.
Escape Kill Metal gear (you need at least 14 missiles to beat him)
Big boss cyborg -Get out down -Let drop mines under his foots. (Need used rations 2-3) Not moved use 24 mines and kill him.
Last boss Big boss 1 -Going upper right corner (save spot) and kill him used 9 remote missile (i used 8 remote missile and some bullets) It make next form starting easier TIP: ALTERNATE CHEAP SPOT
-Collect rations if you need (you need at least 3 rations to beat last boss) Only way take rations are take random drops
Going elevator up***************

I am planning more routes. I also changed some old routes EDIT: Starting route update
This cheap must be find one pixel precision so its not easy even you know it. (About as precise as Donkey kong arcade level 1 ladder glitch). So this choice not save enought time in casual runs and its quite hard find spot without dying.
You normally need collect at least 25 remote missile. This time 15 is enought (very risky though last boss requires 14 to kill and its easy miss shots here) if you used bullets against boss. Alternate you can collect more remote missiles and used these against boss 1st form, but i not know is it any faster overal. Good bullets firing working well though.
BTW this strategy might save about 10 seconds in speedruns
Its look there is nobody who are played that game.
I also did tons differents errors around the game. I´ll post my test run up in youtube. If peoples are interested see my route lines its would cool to see.  I think im not find many rooms where route can be faster so i´ll try make more luckier and cleaners gameplays in future. Its hard because game is really random and also very hard make without big dyings. So making good run would take forever
I ask Tank boss with thezeth and he told he is 100% luck and its kill his 16 speedrun attempts. Boss located quite end of the hard & long game so its not are fun mess up run here. I lost about one minutes with these deaths
Yesterday i did another test run which ended 53.53. Its still slightly slower than thezeth run even my route is a lot better, i mostly losed time when my ration luck not was too good. I spending 3-4 minutes with rations drops only. Also i did die 3 times. Two was accidents with tank boss.
I estimate my route is around 5 minutes faster than thezeth used so my optimize run goal is somewhere 45 minutes range.
Thezeth is awesome guy. I believe he is real, even he played on emulator. Every his runs are beatable, but these are very hard, because he is awesome runner. He answers my questions and i got many good tips with thezeth and as far as i can tell his run is only run with this game.
Yeah i see. No much discuss older Metal gears. Nobody not are comment any ideas my routes. I also planning orginal Metal Gear WR route myself and did run too.
Right now i thinking sub 50 minutes seems awesome run on console. Taking incredible risk and haved perfect luck with rations and bosses 45 minutes would be super cool.
52.03 seems quite good casual speedrun. Im not never thinking how hard is got sub 50 minutes run. I find still a lot rooms improvement here. This game requires some cautions, its suicide run like TAS.
I did collected 4 ration with last boss. 3 is enought, but then i have to find perfect rhythm quickly its requires also little luck and risky timings.  I was maded it with this time, but i usually die if i haved 3 rations. 4 is quite bit safety.
Im not die with tank boss, but my encounter was nearly horrible unlucky. LAst time i did die twice, but its not went much better with this time. No death fight look cooler though. But its not my fault how boss moved, this fight is 100% random and reseted after 28-30 minutes gameplay are borring
I did another improvement a today. My new time is 52:03 This was maybe first run which make me quite happy. My ration luck not was good, but luckily i not lost too much rations so i not need spend too much time collected. Also i avoid all deaths expect this intention after train. I did it just when i going in checkpoint and its cost only 7-8 seconds. This can easily avoid used ration, but then i usually need spend too much time with ration collections. Thezeth haved incredible ration luck with his run. I just never are haved luck like this.
My test run 53:53 ******************************
Last boss is not are possible to beat without rations on console if you used speedtrick. Though no damage fight is possible but its will take forever to beat him so its not are good choice.
I´ll hope if i can found one more truth gas without major time lost. Its make me got rank 4 early. Then i haved more energy and more oxygen tanks crawl through water without losting damage. Then i not need are super lucky with rations drops if i otherwise play game through well enought.
Good thing at this is i am learning play that game a lot better and if i got lucky attempt then i haved chance got good run. I´ll also hope i can make run without taking any deaths. Deaths itself not save any time, but its make me save some rations and its make game less luck.
Sometimes each ration  drop can take 3 or more minutes to got so its mean run is ruined. Enemys drops rations about 5-10% of the time. Ammos are little bit commons, these coming about 20% of the time.
5 rations are absolutely minimum in last level IMO but i always need more, because there is many hard and random things which can be avoid, but usually too hard. Thezeth need less rations, but he haved rank 4 more early than me so he  haved more oxygen tanks crawl through water. 5 oxygen tanks is not are enought and you can haved only 5 oxygen tanks with rank 3. Also his ration drop luck was something like TAS, he not need even used his rations.
Super Bad ration luck ruin me two more attempts after 35 minutes gameplay, i simply not haved any luck got any rations . Its so frustrating at this point, but i need some rations beat this game.
Tank kill me two attempts after 27 minutes gameplay. Which is really frustrating start game over again. I can beat him about 50% of the time. Fast encounter is also really random to got and a today i not are haved any luck with this too.
I ruin several good speedrun attempts when i trying beat my 52.03 run.
God this game is frustrating speedrun.
So my goal is sub 50 minutes and its might be very hard to reach with my shit luck.
If i got 48-50 minutes run i´ll are happy enought with it. Its fact nobody can,t be lucky with rations like thezeth, but even less luck make this game a lot faster. 45 minutes would be too big luck base to make for me.
Also i was close ruin my game with Metal gear 2 "last boss" This boss is annoying if you mess up one missile its make boss fight totally random. Then gates open differents timings and its make you miss several missiles. I miss 6 missiles which is a lot. I normally miss two. Also my tank encounter not went well, but this is random too.
This fuck piss me off so much.     Its normally never take long like this.
Totally lost time with only one ration around 3 minutes which is horrible long
Its about 20 seconds slower than my best record, but i did it no deaths +run quality was best overal. Thanks horrible ration luck again. I normally was wanted reset but after ruined three attempts with this reason after 30 minutes gameplay i was way too bored reset game and i wanted did no death run because i never are did it already
I did no death run in around 52.20
I´ll also hope someone else can put effort try improve this one. I´ll keep my mind 45 minutes its migt looks superb.
But yeah i hate that game too much played it anymore. Spending about 2 weeks learining and playing and about 20 runs ended after 25-35 minutes gameplay. Mostly tank kill me or ration luck was way too suck.
I´ll maybe submit this one, because i not really know where i can redo my run, becasue there is not any run where i can compared expect thezeth run which was really lucky overeall, but route is also different.
I knew i can got sub 50 with good enought luck. I know 45 is possible with superb luck. I just cannot know how much under 45 is possible on console. TAS run is not are realistick compared with this, because my route is a lot slower and luck manipulation like what you need here are way too hard by human run.
It beat Thezeth run by 1-2 minutes. My ration luck was descent enought, with very good luck my time was ended 46-47 minutes. Which is only minutes behind my super optimize goal. This run make me happy. Its was very hard to reach.
No deaths in 49.53
JES JES Finally after hours non stop playing
But i posted run up in youtube. Its surely worth watching and quite good run IMO.
So i thinking 46-47 is surely very good time. But i´ll keep break with this game and i maybe back it sometimes in future. But right now this game drive me crazy. Its haved much lenght and requires a lot luck and perfect focus and most good attempts ended after 25-35 minutes gameplay and its piss off so much.
I decide i didn,t submit my 49.53 run. I watched it back twice and its haved way too much errors in SDA stanard so risk got rejected is way too big. My manipulation luck was better than most my attempts but still way too descent.
Yeah i know TAS run and this sbreak. Yeah it is only sbreak in hold game. Orginal Metal Gear haved several cool sbreaks.
Can you make some video clips in youtube? Its might be awesome.
Any new with your Bucky o hare run?
Yeah and hell yeah i wanted see your run. If not in SDA but at least in youtube.
Yeah i agree this console differensce. When i first time played Bionic commando on my emulator i find it easier than my console. But a today i liked play that game on console more and its really much easier. Yeah its very different controlls. I agree 100% with you. But when you learn play that on console you will be master.
Only DR Mario is expected i not still got that one working my Nes. I think this cart is broken.
Almost every games started working 1st attempts. Its awesome thing.
I finally haved 72 pin connection on my Nes.
IMO this is not are baby/mother forum.  What special it is if someone make baby? Its happen very often.
I can,t just understand why all gaming discussions going with baby news, like final fantasy topic.
As far as i can tell these fours are only hiddens into game. Only Bombs 1-3 & energy in 3-2 are good choices in speedruns.
1-3: Bombs & Arrow power (this is rare item you normally got it just before last boss) 3-1: Bombs 3-2: Hidden energy 4-1: Bombs
This game includes some secret/hidden items:
I can beat 1-4 boss before its going back up to air. Level 1-3 includes spot where you can got secret bombs. Im not sure is this any faster overall, its take couple seconds take bombs, but its save good 5 seconds back with boss fight.
I pick up one thing which is not are used josh styger run.
If someone wanted see something cool here. My 1-4 boss went down used bombs. I think its not save any time overall, but looking cool though.
Its casual speedrun nothing anymore. Its not are very bad looking. Little caution though, espcially 5-1.
I did my first run into game ended 15.36 (no deaths)
I watched it and its look really lucky and awesome run. Most random things went well done, for example Necromance & Dracula. Also he got gauntlet drop without dying. Very little rooms improvement here. His stanard play that game are something really good. Like his magic mode WR was really awesome. This one is very different category and really good run too.
Estimate over 4 minutes faster than Radix WR into site. He will submit this one.
He did just really awesome SS run.
I always miss last bomb with Garuda. Somereason its always went throug the boss without taking hit. but yeah this run was riskier than my other runs. I´ll continued make more casual runs. I´ll look how close Styger time i can got.
Yeah Styger run are really good. I thinking i can,t beat it very soon "maybe never" But i think i can easily going sub 13.30. Maybe sub 13 is possible for me with very good gameplay. I did one bad mistake in 4-2. Also i haved low energys end of 5-1 and this requires me some cautions.
13.59 Its equal around 13.55 with SDA rules. I see SDA stop clock after energys coming back. But you can still controlls your character, so i stoped clock when screen disappeared, because controlls take off until then. I timed Styger run with my rules 12.38.
My third completed run ended
E: OOPS. WR was 12.37. I remember it wrong. :-[ Yeah time rules seems same as me. My time was 58 seconds behind WR.
This run was about 56-57 seconds slower than Liger run. Yes i used different time rules. I not exactly know when SDA stop game clock. I start it when controlls take on and i stop it when last screen disappear "controlls lost until then".
Again i miss one bomb against Garuda. I not haved any idea why its always going through the Garuda. But i never managed make that hit. Maybe i have throw it even more slower.
Its very good casual speedrun. Over 2 minutes better than my previous in youtube. 4-2 & 5-1 went well done here. There is one mistake in 4-2 which cost me around 3-5 seconds. 5-1 i miss both pixel perfect jumps end of the level. These jumps are hard to make. luckily i haved enough energy go through most enemies.
13:35 Its always going more close WR Part 1 Part 2
Another improvement.
Yes i´ll hope verifers not are allowed decide real verdict is run accepted or rejected, most verifers are played game through once-twice and these guys not really know much about game, but it is still easy say reject.
Also my Jackal got one rejected which was stupid too. Run was better than any other WR run in other sites. So i not was even wait someone can still reject it.
About verification. I´ll hope verifers can,t be decide is run reject or not. Admin are allowed decide it. Verifers comments are still welcomed.  Verifers need look have run cheats and its all happen with rules used. but verdict itselfs accetable runs are quite unfair. Most verifers can,t know how frustrated its make good run and if run includes some mistakes its not are reason rejection. There is verifers who not know anything about game. For example one verifer reject my near perfect Metal Gear run, because its includes some wall stuck. This was something like fun. I said WTF But luckily other ones accept it.
About verification. I agree stanard make accetable run is way too high compared other WR sites. I think starting point would be lower and first run can be done with avarage speed. Radix time almost all runs was accepted. A today first run must be superb.
Its fact verification always take a lot time. But its nothing compared it how long it take when run got appeared into site. With a todays its take forever. When radix was boss several runs appeared in at one week. A today its take about one month when each three runs appeared. This action are so slow.

SDA SPEEDRUNS*******************************************
My runs: Speedruns:
SDA SPEEDRUNS: Currently up in SDA OBSOLETED SDA SPEEDRUNS: Runs is not are up SDA anymore because someone or me are improved it OTHER SPEEDRUNS: Just my casual speedruns. I´ll add always my currently best runs with this list. All these are played on real console or Wii. SEGMENTED SPEEDRUNS: Just used savepoints. Most my Metroids runs are here. SEGMENTED PROGRESS: Runs currently progress EMULATOR RUNS: Just played used emulator without savestates and without slowdown. I mostly try avoid make speedruns on emulator but i not always have choices.
Well. I haved some runs up in my Sig. But i haved much more runs. Most runs are up my youtube channel too. But there is my speedrun videos collection. Many good runs here. I counted runs category
These two games are annoying because games requires a lot luck manipulation. Also Metal gear 2 Snake revenge requires a lot 100% luck requires things like Ration drops and this fucking tank boss which often like kill me instantly and ruin hold game after 26 minutes. Its depress so much.
My new Irons sword run is great. Its are currently in verification. Its beat this my archive run by half minutes. Most time i saved happen with last boss its was main reason why this run took me so long. I´ll hope my run is accepted. But yeah im not are seriously very worry about this, because my run is huge improvement and also run quality seems sligtly better than Votava run.
Yeah Joe & Mac. I think i would submit it if there are enought peoples who are interested enought verifer it. I still agree 8.35 includes a lot sloppy mistakes, but as you said game requires a lot luck manipulations, even there is much rooms improvement its still hard beat game with decent luck. Weapons drops not are only, but maybe most depressed thing hold game especially this fire middle of the game which often take several reset and its piss of especially then when you got good boss fights before this.
Thanks.
This is easier way find my runs. IMO this topic was very good idea.
Yeah but these most are my "casual" speedruns. This is best place discuss my runs i not need create several topic per game. And these each games topic not never got life for example Bionic commando topic (i am only poster here).
Huh this are taking long. Run is accepted almost 5 month ago. Until now its coming into site.  This are taking maybe longer than any other run  ever.
Congrats DK28. Seems very good run.
Go man submit this one. Its surely very good run. There is very minor rooms improvement. Its very close perfect human limit IMO.
I not wanted say anything about lags. You kill some enemies your behind and its look you avoid lags quite well. But its hard to say anything about lags.
Level 7: Bad luck with purple monster. Frezy did it faster. Level 7: Boss look you not find very good rhythm. But your firing speed make this incredible quick. Its was par like frezy even you dying couple times. I think with your firing speed you can take his down couple seconds faster Level 8: Missed jump.
Are you thinking submit this one. I think there is not many seconds possible take off. I pick up only couple dying your run:
I just never pointed out your incredible button smash your low-% attempts. I always see it is very good, but never thinking it is incredible like this. I just never played much low-% runs. But i see how incredible your button smash are compared my PAL run or vgmr 14.06 run. We both smashing about as fast as.
I really loved your button smash. Thats was something like incredible. I have to say you smasher faster than frezy IMO. I like your level 7 boss was as fast as frezy did even you failed couple times here. I just can,t imagine how fast it can are if you fired it down perfectly.
I watched this. I have to say this run was incredible good.
But i agree this might piss off play that game over and over and its defnitely tired you so its very cool too if you started new project. Its might be awesome see SMB series runs and Contra runs too. I think you can,t beat Frezy Contra run very soon. Though i agree you maybe can beat this run in future but its might take a lot time months-years. Low-% is more beatable though at least when i see your firing speed in Super-C and your experience with low-% runs are already really good. So i thinking you can got beat frezy low-% run with hard job. This might be very awesome to see better run, i really loved frezy low-% run and its surely very hard to beat. But its fact his low-% run includes more errors than his weapon run so its might be little bit easier to beat.
I vote Super-C. Yeah this your current run is very close perfect human limit. I think i can,t wait see better run, but if i can its definitely awesome and cool watching. Also your no weapon run is very great. But no deaths goal is always cooler though.

Good luck with this.
I am already watched this 11 minutes run in youtube and it is really good one. IIRC TAS time is slightly over 10 minutes.
Thats interesting. I´ll hope see your run.
I am always thinking skipping seven league boots is possible if you used some fleet foot magic. Though im not sure save this any time in speedruns (its might save but maybe not). Also TAS not skip it but as far as i can say these all TAS intentions not are best ways like icefire mountain climb route which are better my and Votava run. But that might interesting to see is it possible skip seven league boots and save time. Im not are test it, but its not sounds way too impossible IMO.
Yeah game is really random one and i was overall very happy with this one. I agree no deaths game is not are really possible i think two deaths are absolutely minimal what you need beat this game with human luck. I did 4 deaths which is one less than my avarage one.
Thanks a lot guys. Its accept and it is cool see all voted accept.
And one super slow completion guide.
This game is good speedrun game. Its might really interesting see some speed stuffs. Nobody not are never maded. BTW there is some gameplay stuff like this
Cobra Command (NES) DK28 planned that one. Somereason he lost interested with this. Also this game is insanely difficult. I just cannot imagine how someone can make any runs with this game. There is very easy die and game haved quite much lenght. I am also really interested see TAS run with this game. Nobody not are maded any TAS and its interested see how perfected this can be beated. Its surely interested see both RTS & TAS run.
Frankenstein The Monster return (NES) -This game is hard as hell. Really hard boss fights. Bosses are especially difficult take down with speed. Even slowly played this game is really difficult. Its good game though, but surely way too difficult speedrun on console. There is TAS 2/4 levels
I´ll add two Nes games which not are listed yet.
This game look very easy on paper but run itself is really hell as frustrating.  So i not want promise will this run never are done well as i plan. I´ll hope sub 35 minutes run. Thats might be insane.
I´ll save a lot time with most bosses over DD current run.
About my route: I´ll make 4 shop visit (i already did 3) DD told 4 visit is better I´ll got ascalon. Its important against Julius. Manticore ascalon combo save over 30 seconds against Julius. I´ll got Red minotaur lubicant combo is most important souls entire game. Also manticore rush is really good with against Julius & Chaos 2nd phase.
Next segment will be one more toughest entire run. Its not are only hard make gravekeeper jump but got combat knife drop is really random one and its usually take several minutes before gravekeeper jump is done. Yesterday i spend total 5 hours and 300 attempts with this segment. I only got combat kniwe once but i fuck segment later. This make me understand well why nobody not are wanted run that game.
Yesterday i did first segment its take me 25 attempts Segment 1: Saved 0:01:15 (8 seconds ahead Dragondarch run) 1-seconds ahead my 37:45 run
My 37:45 was quite good run, but i did a some bad mistakes with routes. DD told me some better things with routes. I made two big flaws and its cost me surely 1 minutes or over. My dream goal will be sub 35 minutes. Its surely take a lot time, because its requires a lot hard drops also segmented must be well done.
I agree why nobody not are wanted try beat current WR run. This game is hell as hard. Almost every segment requires nasty soul or weapons manipulated drops. Its can easily take hundreds attempts per each segment. Luckily most segments are very shorts.
Dragondarch run is very possible improve with all new startegys and soul intentions. He started his own new run 4 year ago and as far as i can tell he somereason stopped that run. Yeah im not are hearing anything with this since 2006. So i thinking DD are got bored
Well i´ll back this game. 4 year ago i did speedrun which ended 37:45. I didn,t haved DVD recorder then. This run lost 1 minutes & half with DD run. There i used some new routes and strategys and these all save a lot with bosses.
I thinking got kaladbolg and sell it give a lot money too. Also pick up Vjaya take time, but hopefully its save back with bosses
DD plans shop visit year 2006
After this i have to plan some ideas.
Segment 4 Need pick up Manticore soul and saved before great armor.
Segment 3 Next segment will be short. I just got giant skull soul and saved.
Its par as fast as Dragondarch run. I keep 8 seconds lead. A today its took me only half hour. Yesterday i spend 5 hours without luck.
Segment 2
Thats surely good idea. Dragondarch pick up axe armor soul. But i personally thinking its not save time. Yeah it save 5 seconds with against Creaking skull. But killed axe armor take time and also if you pick up soul ingame timer still run. So i think taking axe armor save 2-3 seconds total. Baselard maybe save bit more. But its too late say it im not pick up it. But thats it still very minor time save. Maybe 2-4 seconds. Its not are important if i otherwise played well.
Im not sure got i beat DD run with enough margin. His 36.12 is really good run. I know i can at least beat it but how much? i´ll hope DD answers my questions in upper posts then i know more about his plans.
Yes i am watched current TAS runs twice. Im not want follow TAS routes on console run because its not are realistic. TAs picked up kicker skeleton soul, but i not find its save any time on console runs. Also used gravekeeper run is not are faster on console. TAS pick up final sword, but i not want, because its seems slow and unecssary on console and its really random drop especially when i need caught succubus soul in at same segment. Also TAS runs are done on normal mode.
Yeah i agree point with axe armor soul. Its are useful with big enemies. This might be better than baselard. How about if you half your first segment. Take both baselard & axe armor. Saving game not take any time. Only running into save room and back take around 2 seconds.
Yeah im not try super optimize run. I´ll follow my 37:45 run and try make some new intentions with routes let see how fast run i can got. Im not even sure save DD shop visit route time. Im not really know nothing how well route will working and etc.. So i wanted say this is my test run. Mostly i´ll look out routes and soul intentions. I´ll maybe try new run later where i´ll make things riskier and better.
These ones was very minor. My segment 2 was still as fast as Dragondarch run, so im not like you said it super sloppy. You are welcomed try that game yourselfs.  And then i can told you what i thinking. I am sure you not know nothing running with this game so keep your harsh posts with you own minds. Crtitc are welcomed though but you are welcomed say it kindly than this.
Zurreco post was really harsh
I have to plan some routes. I am surely forget some and etc... Also 4th shop visit seems weird and im not sure anything about time saves. Let see.
Segment 4: Manticore drop and save point before great armor Segment 5: I´ll used manticre against Great armor. Boss will drop his soul drop and i´ll saved Segment 6: I got kaiser knuckle and i´ll sell it. Now i haved 9-potion-9-mind ups. I saved in clock tower Segment 7: Mystletain and lightning doll drop and save before Death Segment 8: Death fight (im not are planning strategys. But i think i´ll used most my mind ups here. I´ll test working manticore or lightninig doll better Segment 9: Shop visit (need 9 mind up & high mind ups. I´ll saved in underground resevoir Segment 10: Flame demon soul drop and i´ll pick up laevatain in Arena (need i it?) I´ll saved next Segment 11: Simply killer mantle drop and saved Segment 12: Lubicant drop and saved back Segment 13: I´ll kill Balore with last energy lubicant soul activated. Laevatain & Lightning doll working well IMO. I can,t got red minotaur because its way too random got it in arena espeically when i need got flame demon in at same segment Segment 14: Im not remember that segment and i need plan more when i reached it. This looks DD plan make shop visit before Graham. BTW i´ll at least pick up succubus soul and saved in top floor Segment 15: I´ll grap red minotaur soul and saved Segment 16: Graham fight. Black panther & Dracula tunic. I´ll got hippogriff and maybe kaldbolg sword and some Mana prisms. Next i need shop visit. Its important bought ascalaon. Now i saved before Julius Segment 17: Julius fight (ascalon activated) Manticore rushes working well IMO. Yes i can beat his around 30 seconds faster than DD did his 36.12 run. Segment 18 Chaotic realm 1 Segment 19 Chaotic realm 2 Segment 20: Chaos. (manticore & red minotaus working well against his 2nd form.
I was planning continued next:
Yeah this will be test run. Its too late make all things well done. It seems axe armor soul skip not was good intention. Also baselard can make first segment bit more comfortable. Depend how random it is. Also i think i´ll test routes and strategys here.
Saved 14:23 after Death
2nd form went decent. I think its would be 20 seconds faster with perfect luck. But my Death segment took me only two minutes and its seems a lot faster than my unrecorded run 37:45.
Yeah im not need used giant ghost even i pick up it already. I did find awesome stratgy rush Death 1st form down very quickly and easily.
EDIT**********************: Manticore seems really useful against Death 1st form:
Segment 3 (Giant ghost drop) Segment 4: (Manticore drop) Segment 5 (Great armor fight) Im not pick up any drop because IMO great armor soul is totally pointless. Segment 6 (Study +first shop visit) Saved castle corridor Segment 7 (Castlecorridor to middle of clock tower)
Also i did segment 4 quite lazy. I hate got manticore soul its usually take really long and its tiresome reset after this. I still want call this is mostly test run, because i can ruin hold run if shop route not save any time. So this run is itself risky. I think i would try better run after beat this one. If i find this route working well enough and im not are too tired play with this game.
Saved game middle of clock tower 11:15. I haved 10 seconds ahead my 37:45 run. I am 20 seconds behind dragondarch WR run. I am just used one shop visit which cost me quite bit.
I´ll use manticore and red minotaurs his 2nd form. But im not haved magic in first form so i need used weapons. Which is best weapon what i can used?
******************************************IMPORTANT************** BTW Can someone answer with this questions. Im not remember anymore its a lot time when i played that game last time? Which is best weapon against Chaos 1st form? Working Kaladbolg better than laevatain? And how about ascalon?
Well i think i´ll plan used only 3 shop visit my run. Nope 4 like Dragondarch planned. IMO shop visit after Balore caused horrible backtrack. Take Vjaya take a lot time (especially if you pick up it without black panther soul. And i see Dragondarch warp Arena to Clocktower and its seems faster than warp in Castlecorridor. There is many reason why its doesn,t seems good. Even it save time against Balore i think its not save enought. 4th shop visit might be very ok idea if you pick up Red minotaur in Arena. But seriously im not care make it. RM is one most rare soul entire game and i need take flame demon soul in at same segment so i think its not seems very human luck. At least too big luck base for me.
Segment 19 Julius. Manticore +Ascalon and lubicant combo. Nothing else i need here. Why not use red minotaur? Simply its take too much magic and made double hits with Julius and nearly impossible. Segment 20 & 21 Chaotic realm Segment 22: Chaos itself.
I not haved money. But i´ll sell Kalabdolg or VJAYA. VJAYA is also fast to take when you haved black panther.
I´ll did last shop visit. I´ll bought full mind ups & potions. Potions are only useful with Chaos especially his first form. Expert not need potions but i think i can,t beat that game without any potions. I´ll also buy ascalon. Its make souls much more powerful and its very useful against Julius and i think against Chaos 2nd form too.
EDIT**********************: Segment 15 Next segment will includes succubus soul drop Segment 16 Red minotaur drop (huh this is hell) Luckily i know how frame manipulation working. Its might take time find correct frame and take this insanely rare soul Segment 17 Graham fight. I´ll used all 7 mind ups & 7hi mind ups here. I´ll used red minotaur & lubicant combo. Maybe manticore too (just not know how my magic will divide) Segment 18 Im not are planning that segment yet. But I´ll grap hippogriff. I´ll collect kaladbolg (im not know need i it and its anymore better than laevatain. I only need it against chaos if i even need it. But nobody not answer my question in upper post. IS KALADBOLG BETTER AGAINST CHAOS 1ST FORM THAN LAEVATAIN?
Also this run are breaking two my DVD RW disc. Im just are erased these disc several times. And disc ar got ruined. I´ll bought new disc and hopefully its enought beat this run.
Its depend a lot can i got redminotaur my 1st attempt. Its requires i saved my game with correct frame and its extremely random. As far as i can tell red minotaur is most rarest soul entire game. Even got it first three kill are taking me several hours/days my old runs.
Now i haved about 40 seconds ahead my unrecorded 37:45 run. I hope i can got at least good 30 more seconds ahead in Graham fight. Last time i didn,t haved any mind ups here. This time i have alot. Its look i haved really good chance got sub 37 minutes. I think sub 36 minutes in my test run would be amazing.
Segment 10 (clock tower to resevoir includes 2nd shop visit) Segment 11 (HARD segment) Resevoir to arena. I need flame demon soul drop. I got laevatain in arena. A lot mistakes in Arena. But i still got 20 more seconds lead here my unrecorded run 4 year ago Segment 12 (Lubicant soul) Somereason its never drop it after two first kill. Also killermantle never drop it first kill. Im not any sure about luck manipulation. Lubicant very often drop murmasa or soul after 3rd kill. But i never got any drop after first two. Im not know how i can manipulated frames correct here. TAS peoples surely know how often rare souls appeared. Lubicant is quite rare soul. Segment 13 (Balore) (well played maybe 5 seconds off is possible. I let 7 mind ups & 7hi mind ups against Graham. I think its useful used all mind ups here and save a lot time. Segment 14: (Killer mantle soul drop) frame not was correct so i need waiting little bit before i kill him.
I see nobody not want answers questions here. But anyway i´ll test out strategys myself. This is test run and hopefully i can beat my own personal record more than 45 seconds. But im not think sub 36 is impossible with this time. If my plans going correct i can reach sub 36 minutes run. But even i did it i never submit this one. I am did way too much wrong intentions and ugly mistakes (like i got giant ghost soul and im not never need it).
BTW I´ll hope peoples watch my run. There is surely good strategys. I really wonder why Dragondarch not plan pick up Mantiocre soul. Its most useful soul enitre game IMO.
Then nobody not can,t say my run "super sloppy" Otherwise he is envy. But i not care im not are got much answers my questions so i am planning hold this route and boss strategies myself. Yeah thats weird dragondarch visit in forum everyday, but he can,t answer any my questions. Maybe he not know his plans or he wanted keep all stuffs his own secret. Thats make my job harder but more interesting though
59 seconds ahead my 37:45 run. I´ll hope i can save more time against boss fights (i haved mind up against Graham, i not haved last time its really good way saved time). Yeah sub 36 is possible now. Then i can easily said i am beat WR if my final time went sub 36 minutes. And i really haved chance make it. If i keep my plans and speed up its not easy though.
Segment 15 (Succubus souls and saved in top floor) This segment is played very well. Its really hard segment. Its 19 seconds faster than my previous run Segment 16 (Red minotaurs drop) After read a lot infromation about RNG. Its take me only 8 minutes. Yeah its really helpful know how RNG working. It was easy got battleaxe here. I normally got battleaxe 100% of the time if i attack correctly. So i changed enemy act and it was very helpful way got this very rare soul.
-Kaladbolg is crap against chaos. -Ascalon is strong but very slow (its useful against Julius so its important) -Lavatain is 2nd best. Its quite fast, but i find Vjaya even better because its make extremely quick damage. Its quite strong too. Its more stronger than kaiser knuckle (DD used his 36.12 run)
BTW. I am planning next: -I´ll sell Kaladbolg, laevatain, mystletain tear of blood before Julius. -I will pick up Vjaya. But i not sell it. Vjaya seems best weapon against Chaos 1st form. I test all four weapons my full save file:
Well yeah your run is really old one. Its still very well played. All where i can redo it are boss fights. With all new strategys and soul intentions run can be very beatable.
2 minutes & 10 seconds ahead my 37:45 run. This look i can going at least 35.30. With extremely good Chaos fight can lower time maybe sub 35 minutes. Im not believe its happen with this time. I´ll hope i can got run done a tommorrow.
Segment 17 (Graham fight) Segment 18 (Top floor to floating garden) Segment 19 (Julius fight)
Its might be interested see new WR run. Good luck with this.
Game is also really annoying speedrun. Its requires a lot luck manipulations drop. IMO current WR haved really nice job with luck manipulation.
I think i not goin start new run very soon. This one was really frustrating and random one. About submission. I not know yet. Run is quite good improvement, but wrong intentions here piss off little bit. I think 32-33 would be really optimize run. But anyway this is new WR.
Chaos fight surey can be even better. But its can,t lower my time under 34 minutes. Yeah i beat Dragondarch WR run by 1 minutes & 14 seconds.
Segment 20 (Chaotic realm 1) Segment 21 (Chaotic realm 2) Segment 22 (Chaos)
Final time 34:58
But thats was cool got Dragondarch run down. I am planning it whole 4 years.
Yeah i´ll plan did another run somedays. But right now i am tired spend time with luck manipulations and etc... Yeah this game drive every runners crazy i guess. So im not going make another run very soon. Its will requires even more crazier gameplay and maybe more luck manipulations.
Thanks. Yeah this was mostly test run- I just didin,t know fastest method when i started this one. I test out several strategys. My bad intention was got giant ghost soul. I always are i need used it  against Death, but used manticore and this item route i didn,t need it. This cost me over 5 seconds ingame time.
1st form was par as last time i guess. 2nd form went without taking any hit. I miss two red minotaur double hits. 2nd not cost any time. I think i can beat him two less RM used. But then i need haved less than 130 energy. But i thinking its not cost much. Snake encounter was really good here.
EDIT************************** I improvement last segment: 34:47 -Only 11 seconds faster. But look million times better real time than last time. i didn,t lost any potions. Not too much ugly equip screen than last time. Yeah its over minutes faster than last time
But this are taking so long with you i agree these DVD troubles are suck. You started your own new run when i completed my unrecorded 37:45 (2006). Maybe your DVD troubles can block you another 3-5 years who know.
Yeah i believe you. Yeah this run can be quite easily possible take down "at least on the paper"
Im not sure what you mean comedy? Is my run silly? BTW i am glad if you are got laugh my run I´ll hope you will make your own run and i´ll got laugh with this.
I already ask is there any better strategys with boss fights? but nobody not answer my questions. So i thinking manticore is best way and its seems very fine for me. Also i´ll used manticore my next run later in this year. I think i can got 32-33 with same route used.
IMO Manticore is best soul entire game. Its slower with real time but very quick make run with ingame time. Also Manticore not take too much magic compared red minotaurs and its caused tons damage. Its easily best soul against Julius. Also Its very useful against Graham if you not haved full mid ups. BTW which is your point? Do you know any better?
Is this good or bad?
Yeah this Death stratregy surprised me too. My orginal plan was used giant ghost soul/lightning doll like Dragondrach did. But i find manticore really useful. Its not requires even much luck. Thats was maybe my best find in this game. I got a lot ahead my old runs here.
BTW i think this run is timed little different way than Feasel run. I timed feasel run are haved 4-5 seconds different time rules (used that way his time are 17:43). But yeah its hard find correct time rules game like this because AB reset still work when you are lost other controlls. Also Scot old run was timed different than feasel one.
Im glad you liked it.
Thanks.:)
This is maybe best starting point what ever see in SDA. Congrats
I already watched this run in youtube. This run was super optimize.
Thanks Kareshi. Thats nice to hear you liked it
I agree thats might be more interesting see hard mode runs though. But i think Mike 14:59 not seems very possible to beat. Or at least its really hard/nearly impossible to beat. Low-% hard might be crazy job too. I think its might be really hard to beat only. I´ll hope see it somedays.
Seriously thats not look baby job. Dk28 skills are really hardcore and these speed stuffs was awesome.
1st verifer seems really stupid. He reject your death run even it was big improvement over previous one. IMO your death run was really good one too. And yeah both run was masterwork. Even you played on easy that is really good job.
Congrats DK28 both was awesome run. I was verifer number two.
You are surely make awesome job. I can,t wait see your runs.
Congrats your runs heidman. Im sad i cannot verifer your runs because im not even know you are submited your runs.
i just wonder when this game are in verification? Im just not are see game in verification topic.
Thats might be so cool. Hotarubi 14% SS is one my favorite run ever. I can,t wait see another one on PAL.
And you sounds you did it single segment?
Whats going next? New any-%?
This was just so awesome. I loved your all three runs so much. But this one was most intense IMO. Maybe because im not never can,t even beat this category. And you did it single segment and really quickly. Your starting was surely best ever what we can see. I just not pick up any mistakes here. Expect missing torizo skip, but this is not are big deal on low-% SS
I watched this run twice.
I ruin three run a today because my NES got shut without any reason. Latest one happen after 20 minutes gameplay. This make me really worry and its scared me if this happen very end.
I´ll hope i can got 31.xx in future. I did some sloppy mistakes with equip menu (these are really hard avoid). I also lost some rations wrong places because some enmys make more hurting what i was thinking. Overall this one was really good one.
Thats looks quite par quality as my death run.
I did no death run in 32:13
Let see try i another death run. Thats might tell how good it is.
I´ll say this is really good run. Better ones might be very hard. Im not know is it better than my death run but at least its seems even better IMO. Thats hard to say my death run includes several very minor flaws and i think there i did a lot less.
I did couple menu mistakes. I push extra transfer screen in last building. Thats happen very easily and mistakes like these ruin some pontential 31 minutes attempts. Also part before last building went quite bad i think 7 seconds time lost here. But thats it. My starting like easily my best. I think even better than my death run. I counted i did 20 seconds mistakes total in hold run but its not seems bad because game haved half hour lenght. Also i haved one more ration when i completed game. But i usually lost all. Used menu screen faster is always possible, but i hate that menus, its so easy choose wrong here and each wrong choice take 4 seconds.
I wanted say i think this is even better than my death run. At least its includes less wall stucks and etc... little flaws.
I got twice 32 and finally 31 minutes.
31:51 (No death run)
This might be so hard time to beat. I think 27:40 might be surely possible. I think sub 27:30 is impossible by humans. Who know.
Otherwise i not make other bad big mistakes. Mostly wall stucks, thats happen so easily. Especially 1st roof includes most ugly little flaws. I was beat game one less ration, iwas just lucky with enemies. This cost me 3-4 seconds, but i usually lost it. Yeah i still used two less ration than my SDA run.
This run went well. -I did only one real mistake when i again push accidentally transfer screen. Thats very easily happen its usually got hit twice with d-pad. This is one most common mistake. I never are avoid it my runs.
27:54 (i think its might be under 28 in SDA too) SDA timed my 28:42 to 28:46 (so this might be turn 27:58) This look SDA used DVD clock its weird but its add some seconds compared stopwatch. My stop watch running slower than DVD clock. Used DVD clock timed my new run is 27:58 and previous one 28:46 like SDA timed it. This is 48 seconds improvement over it.
EDIT:
I am quite pleased with this one. But i´ll try 27.xx yet. Its might be cool see one minute better gameplay in SDA. Also its might be really hard. This run seems near perfect as far as i can tell.
My ration route was riskier than my SDA run. I think with extremely perfect luck 2 ration less can collected. But this will requires much luck with bullet guys and its very risky.
Many lucky things went well done. Also 2nd building was great compared any other runs. 1st building was also really good, but i did some wall stuck.
I still try reach 27.xx. I know i can make it with extremely perfect attempt. I did two real mistake my run: 1: One extra transfer screen. Thats always happen. 2: I nerves forget card in last building. Cost me around 7 seconds.
Its areound 40 seconds faster than my SDA run.
New best time is: 28:05
I got beat my death run
Thats my news and plans.
-About Aria of Sorrow run. I still thinking i´ll submit it later. Im not are decide yet. I also thinking i´ll try better run later in this year. But starting another run after this is really frustrating.  Also this run is big improvement over current SDA run.
-About my Joe & Mac run. I thinking i wanted try redo that later. This game is hell as hard. But my 8:35 look bit too sloppy so i thinking redo it later in this year. Let see
-I also thinking i´ll submit my snake revenge run. I was plannig redo it, but two weeks non stop playing drive me totally crazy. This is not perfect gameplay its not even close it. But i´ll hope verifers will undestand how much luck manipulation and how hard this game is speedrun. I also got some good feedback when i completed it some months ago. I think im not going back with this project very soon so i thinking my run is good starting point. 4-5 minutes off clear time is very possible though. But all luck manipulations in hard & long game is so frustrating. Thats SDA choice wanted you got my run or not.
-I also did no deaths in 31:51. I did it before my new death run. I think this one includes some more mistakes but its also very good run i thinking quality is surely better than my current SDA run. Its show deatless route, nothing much different. Also i find this category little bit harder.
-I did with deaths in 27:54 (used DVD clock its timed it 27:58) But whats ever timing its 48 seconds improvement over my SDA run. I watched it back twice and its seems are really good run. Route is actually identical same as my SDA run. I think route can,t be much better on console runs. TAS tricks are too hard perform constantly IMO. So everysingle 48 seconds time saves coming with better execution. My SDA run is also good looking one, so this new one look 48 seconds better.
I thinking i´ll submit my both Metal Gear runs when i got contact my friend.
About my run plans in future:
Yeah all three runs is submited through the torrent and comments are sending to Mike. We will need verifers with this.
I also  submit Metal Gear 2 Snake revenge run. Thats just my old run in youtube. Completion time is 49:53 used stopwatch. DVD time turn it in 50 minutes. Yeah thats my old run done in april 2010. But right now im not care redo that one very soon. I´ll hope verifers liked it and its are good starting point. This is not are perfect run, but game is very hard.
Death run 27:54 (maybe SDA turn it 27:58) (48 seconds improvement over previous SDA run) Deatless run (31:51)
I submited my Metal Gear runs:
Hello
Thats nice to hear i´ll got verifers my runs.
Thank you
Thats sad with marshmallow this is maybe his last run in SDA. Hardcore player are drop away in SDA list. He is lost his Banjoa kazooie, Castlevania64, Yoshis islands ID, and so many others world records. He haved most records in SDA some years ago. Also Luigi Mansion was his WR run. That big congrats with you. I´ll look out your run when it is public.
I have this game too. Its great game.
good job.
Thats cool see new runners and new awesome speedruns. Hopefully we never forget old runners, these all are making great job at all.
Marshmallow is one big pearl in SDA history. I really respect with this man.   As far as i can tell he haved most WR before Tom Votava. Right now marshmallow are lost almost all.
Oh yeah his SMB 3 warpless run is up and its really nice. Before andrewg will crash it. Maybe he haved some other records too, but most are got beat down.
Yeah this run was super awesome, but its sad this is played on emulator and maybe used cheats. :-[ Hope see real console attempts later.
Me too thinking he played on emulator and used TAS. Thats fact nobdy can,t play long run perfect like this. I just was surprised if he not used TAS.
This run might be so cool. I already loved his old run. I can,t beat this game less than 30-40 deaths.
I can,t wait see it.
Congrats your run. Is this same run what you show in youtube? Its so cool run.
andrew Mario master.
Also runner did runs very quickly. He spend couple days with each run. Perfect runs like he did might take much more time.
But its near impossible play games through so well. There is some runs which seems really hard. DKC 1 & 3 100% runs are really hard categorys speedruns. And its look runner didn,t make any single mistakes. Seems way too hard.
Maybe he is played runs real time but used savestates. Thats fact all his runs are theoretical very console possible to reach.
Yes i´ll follow that your progress, i can,t wait see better run Than current SDA run. This was just one so insane cool run ever. Cool see you are planned make som serious attempts with this. Good luck man. We trust you Andrewg.
I just wonder if you can beat Baum run. I think yes you can beat it but its can,t happen very soon. Baum run seems near perfect, i think Bowser was only slow part in hold run and even Bowser went down decent. Though we know a today much new stuffs and its might be help save some shy seconds.
SMW 100% run is one my favorite run entire site. Yes i liked all 100% Mario runs more than any-% these just includes more cool stuffs and much lenght.
Cool see one damn hard game in SDA. Time seems good. I just never are completed that game because game is crap and hard as hell.
I also like see runs with really hard games for example Ghost & Goblins games. Mario, Contra series games are really hard speedrun and also really cool looking. I like see most runs. I am watched through most runs and i never find these borring.  But it is fact some games are more interesting than others. Also its depend how well run is played.
Game where is tons hard tricks are most interesting, these games are pain ass speedruns, but hard game like Super Metroid, Metroid Prime & Bionic commando are really cool looking games if you mastered play these.
Maybe most borring looking Nes games are Castlevania 2 Simon Quest, Deathly Tower and also Metal Gear. I run Metal Gear myself and i like run it, but this game are overal easy and there is not are interesting hard tricks. Most Metal Gear tricks are piece of cake to perform. Maybe you like watch run through only once.  Simon Quest is also easy game and there is not much tricks used. Deathly tower is hard game, but yeah its not are very interesting. Though i wanted say who can beat this game through is just PRO skill player. This game is piece of shit.
Expect i hate watch extremely long subprograms. There is some games for example many Zelda series games, Paper Mario 2 and some RPG games. Zelda games are otherwise really interesting, but i usually like skip all subprograms. I am see these over and over, its not are interesting anymore.
Im not never find speedruns look borring.
I also haved several VC games on my WII and i haved several PAL carts but i can,t play these my NTSC NES. My PAL NES is just got broken. Most carts still working.
*******I also give orders games: (i not know win i it) -Bad dudes -Double Dragon 2
-Castlevania 1 & 2 -Cobra command -Dragon spirit -Life force -Rush´n attack
*********A today i bought and pay games
My Collections is here: I´ll grove it in future. I haved (NTSC carts) -Bionic commando (2 NTSC carts one is broken) 1 PAL cart i can,t play -Contra -DR Mario (cart is broken) -Jackal -Joe & Mac Caveman ninja -Metal Gear (NTSC & PAL cart) -Metal Gear 2 snake revenge -Shadow of the Ninja (NTSC & PAL cart/Blue shadow) -Tetris (both NTSC & PAL cart) -Trojan (this cart is half broken, i just can,t play game with crap quality) -Zelda orginal -Wizard warrior 1 -Wizard warrior 2 Iron sword
I am interesting hear how much NES games you guys haved?
EDIT: I solved this trouble. Used boots of force open chests without keys. Weird i never knew that already.  :-[
BTW awesome run congrats with this
Anyone know How runner can open treasure chests without keys?  Thats look just easy, but its doesn,t work for me. Did anyone know some explations with this. Nobody not explain with this in TAS page.
Also i solved it myself too after one hour planning. Weird i never pointed out that already.
I read this comment a today and i also looking TAS glitch page but i was blind and i skip this question. :-[ I see now Bablo told it his comment. I was really blind thats embarrassing :-[
Baum run is surely one most optimize old run into hold site. Yeah run is 5 year old, some minor things might be changed. I think you can save some seconds away with his time. Im not sure can MAP route are better, maybe you can follow TAS route in map?
TAS run not was even much better than Baum run. IIRC TAS time was 1.21-1.23. And hell yeah TAS strategys, crazy wall jumps and etc... stuff are way too hard by humans. I think you can only make some very minor things faster. Im not seriously believe under 1.30 is possible. I think max limit might be 1.30.30.
If you find this game easy why not run it? I am really interested see run with this game and hard skills player like you might make run look so good.
Also game seems really random with many places. And its most annoying because there shit enemys and usually few hits kill you.
I also got this cart working a today. Its take some clean and attempts but its finally got working. I played game through with infinite continue code (hold/keep Up button after game over screen then you not need start hold game over again) Im not find game very easy even then. Its take me nearly 2 hours completed. Last boss only take me 15-20 game over screen. LAst boss is so much harder what it look on TAS runs.
I am happy my own first run. I really surprised how quick i learn play that game well enought.
Its not are so cool run. TG world record are somewhere high 6 minutes range with SDA rules which is quite close TAS limit.
This my first "test run" ended 8:44. There is not deaths. I surprised how fast i learn play that game. I never was beat it already. Game not seems super hard speedrun. I am planning make better attempts in future. My game cart haved crap quality but patient attempt a today its got working.
I finally did beat NES Trojan without taking deaths. Yes i beat this game first time a today. Couple hours later i wanted recorded run.
Oh this seems going little off topic. But we are also allowed discuss games your collection
Game not seems very crazy speedrun, yeah its random like most games and d-pad controlls hurt my fingers very much especially if i play long session. I seriously wonder why SDA not includes run with this game, its very common game speedrun and many guys are maded casual speedruns my self includes. . TG record is something very high 6 minutes used SDA time rules. Its look fucking tight run near good as TAS, expect some luck manipulations for example armadillo bosses these are "impossible" perfected on console speedruns.
When i learn play that i got beat game without dying twice. My current best time is 8 min 15 seconds. This really surprisely how fast i learn play that game, i did beat game first time a today. Its important learn cheat enemies and bosses and keep power ups hold run. I forget speed up item my both runs. Im just never pointed out where this located until i watched TG run through twice. I´ll grap it with next time (sub 8 minutes attempt)
This is good casual speedrun nothing else can,t say. Many minor things can be better, but i can,t blame it myself at all. Controlls are painfully hard and hurt really much my fingers. Its make mistakes very hard avoid. Luckily game is really short.
Look like 7:53 used SDA rules.  That was cool i going game under 8 minutes. With my skill level i think sub 7:30 is surely possible, but very hard time to reach its requires more luckier attempts especially boss fights. TG record is just insane i lost time every levels expect level 2 where i was one seconds faster than WR. Thanks better armadillo fight. But otherwise i lost. Level 4 was nearly 20 seconds slower than TG run, thats weird because i grap speed up item and i played level quite well IMO.
Trojan (NES). Finally under 8 minutes
Thanks ktwo Speed up at least help me little bit because constant jumping is pain ass.
Feasel why not Deadly Tower? Mike loved this game
I still like back with this game. But usually lost motivation soon, because luck things really piss off. I think superb run might be sub 8 minutes. I think this is not very realistic goal because every patterns especially preadtors are so luck base. I think i wanted got 8.20-8.30 I think i can,t make first predator never fast what i did my 8:35 run. My avarage predator fight are done in 9-10 round. Thats really incredible got him down in 6 round. I think 5 round is best possible on console. TAS did him in 3 rounds. Predators fights is main reason why i did lost a lot time with TAS run.
I thinking i can going game as fast as my record without getting flame, but thats might requires extremely perfection boss fights. Flame save time 3-2, 4-1, 4-2 (only if you can did critical damage) & 5-1 boss. Last boss is not any faster, i find him even easier/faster used stone wheel because its throw faster and did same amount damage against him.
I did around 120-150 attempts -I got stone wheel drop about 15-20 times. Yes i miss most my attempts with this. First guy give me boomerang almost every fucking attempts.  -I totally mess up first Predator fight 5/7 attempts. Two time he went down quite well. I did twice 7 round which is one round slower than my all around best fight my 8:35 run -I reach level 3-2 three time and i didn,t haved luck got flame. One attempt was superb, but thats sad i didn´t, haved luck got that fucking drop.
A today i recorder two hours without luck got weapons drop
I still keep playing that one. Usually i bored work my luck
1: Jackal was most fun game. We survive both alive losting two continue. This game was easily best at all. This game really make me & brother happy. 2: Contra (30 life cheat is very good choice with 2 player game) Its surprisely hard play game with 2 player game. But it was just really fun play that game with my brother. Thats sad my Brother lost all lifes between level 7. :-[ 3: Shadow of the Ninja: We both did die level 4-2.  Thats annoying because there is less lifes than normally. 4: Trojan VS battle was fun first but its being borring very soon.
I enjoy most
I never are haved funs like a today when i played NES classic with my brother (emperor91). Thats so cool and fun. Which is your opinion best games players with 2 players?
Which is top best games with 2 players?
Speedrunning is fun & also really painfull. Sometimes its just cool play game through without any stress.
USED ingame time i lost 51 seconds by TG records. But thats not very precise, but its look i lost 19 seconds only in level 4.
TG run is so great its best of luck if i mean beat it. I think SDA stanard are somehere 6.50-7.10. But i not got stress try beat it, i just wanted try make my personal records. Also you haved this game, its might cool see your run too even you play on PAL, thats not difference if you played it through well enought.
I´ll try redo things next time. I think i have to play game through my emulator before i did next run. I think this not happen very soon, but like i did always i´ll back games and play over again.  I never give up, hopefully I have to practice timing with last boss. Im not lie but my last boss not went well compared TG fight. I let 189 time remain and WR let 196. Thats was just bad. My level 2-1 was whole 3 seconds faster than run in TG, but i lost two seconds in 2-2.  So overall my level 2 was one seconds faster. But this level was only where i was faster.
Thanks a much with your comments, i really liked it Very much thanks your tips :D.
I think if i was got really good boss fights my time never ever going under 8 minutes. I think 8:10 seems absolutely max limit with human luck.
Thats all what i wanted say. I think i´ll submit this new one. Its look speedrun. I think i cannot make this much better. Its really frustrating manipulated everything. These weapons drops and predaotr fights take so many reset. I usually spend hours before i reached 3-2. First predator ruin just so many attempts.
********************* I managed a today 250 failled attempts (that all 4-5 hours) Im not play that all one sitting just used two sitting I managed got stone wheel around 25-30 times I managed got flame drop 4 times I managed beat game twice (first one ended 8:48 and this new one 8.33)
Last boss was quite unlucky and many fights includes a lot minor time lost. Thats not look very good but all fights depend much luck with patterns and controlls game like this are crap.
About predators fights. My first predator was around 10 seconds slower than last time. Thats was just done in 8 round. I usually wanted go 7 round or i reset but i was just way too tired. My Predator fight level 4-2 was really amazing, thats done in 5 round, its better than my any other runs. Its usually going 6-7 rounds. but i was just lucky here.
8:33. Only two shy seconds faster. Run quality seems better here. I make better work levels itself.
4-5 recorded hours later i got beat my record
This run look better than my any other ones i lost some seconds with boss fights, but levels is played really well, so i am much more glad with this than previous run.
I counted if i can got perfect attack patterns with everysingle boss, my time would be 8.10 maybe under 8 minutes, but this is out my plan. That fact Predator can always faster. I totally lost over half minutes TAS run Predators only. Also TAS did got all perfect patterns and used unhuman throwing skills, so all TAS strategys are out my plan. But yeah most time lost compared TAS coming with boss fights, but these never ever can going perfectly any serious console runs. That just best of luck if someone try beat this time i´ll say its not easy task.
I think i´ll submit this one, because its looks i cannot redo that anymore. I am really happy levels itselfs every levels look quite solid. Boss fights was actually little bit slower than last time. Thats fact i lost 8 seconds time 2-2 Predator fight. And i lost 6 seconds with last boss fight, my patterns was just unlucky here and last boss is one really annoying fight too. My 4-2 Predator was whole 9 seconds faster than last time and only 11 seconds slower than TAS. Other bosses seems as fast as last time.
Thats vid my 8:33 run. Yes i seriously planning submit this one.
Thats cool how well you get boss fights down its take a lot longer with avarage players. This was good run. Its seems SDA stanard. Im not pick up any serious mistakes. Good job
I am played game through once, its nice and simple game. Controlls are pretty bad IMO.
This run was really nice.
Yes i´ll submit this one. I am quite hoping its accept because this is high qulaity looking run. Like i did always i´ll maybe back this game and try redo it later.
Its might take time when i back with this game next time. I´ll got many news games in ebay maybe in this or next week.  Im not caring make anymore attempts with this very soon. Im not even know is there enought verifers and its might take months-years find verifers. I´ll hope you can verifer it because its look you know this game.
Do you think is this submition worthy? Yes i´ll keep that still my progress and hoping better run, i ruin one my dream run which maybe was ended 8:25-8:30 but weird glitch happen level 5-2 and i fall through floor, that never happen already. Thats sad, but its not my fault like many things in this game.
Im not seriosly care is my run 8:29 or 8:33. I think 8:33 can look even better than 8:29. I wanted make levels look high quality thats more important than some unlucky boss patterns for me.
Great hear your comment. Thats fact this run is technically very possible improvement as i already said with perfect patterns every boss fights time woule be 8:10 or maybe even faster. Thats just like Iron Sword run game is really frustrating because its requires a lot luck manipulation, even more than Iron Sword.
Thanks Spacoina
Thats look you maybe haved more WR than Tom Votava. At least soon you will haved.
You going close most games WR holders in SDA.
We have to one more verifer . Thats look 2-3 verifer must be are. If someone are interested  welcomed.
This run is submited now. Its coming in verification later a today. Depend Mike LOL
Thanks Spacoina you solved my hard trouble got verifers.
Anyone else hate this?
Thats fact its suck. Only 500 letters MAX what to hell?????? :-[. I like older signature thats allow more letters. Who are planned this?
We SDA runners wanted post we runs in sig too. 500 letters limit totally suck ass. I´ll hope old rules come back soon.
But thats not allow post any hyper links. Each link easily take almost hold 500 letters.
Thats sad it only allow 500 letter.  :-[ I´ll hope limit are 1000-1500.
I loved signatures. Not caring is big or tiny. Thats just best places put up your runs. DK28 haved also really big signature and he are listed all runs up with this and thats very cool IMO. Thats easy to see how many speedruns you haved up and and how many need verifers or etc... Thats fact hyper links take much letters 500 letters allows only couple hyper links and its suck.
Thats seems good point.
Seriously im not are interested PC games runs. But if someone are maded runs with PC games are put runs up his/her sig. Im not care it. Im not find nothing bad with long signatures. You not need read it if you not like it. You not have open links if you not like it. Thats really simple.
We guys who haved NES/SNES games surely liked see runs in sig too. For example DK28 sig is one my favorite thats show all his awesome runs and these are easy find here.
Thats your post was quite harsh. And im not agree your points because its seems retared.
BTW Which is your final time? Or want you keep it with your secret?
Thats cool you did SMB2 (JPN) and this run very quickly and as far as i can tell game is also really difficult to beat too.
Congrats andrew. Thats might be cool run. I am only played game my emulator, im not like controlls because jump button is B and usually it is A for most NES games. That seems same as Dragon lair and its make really hard play other games.
I agree Trihex SIG is nice and cool. Also Dragondarch sig is nice. Sig like this requires extreme PC skills and im not haved it. Also its requires much times learn used special PC programs.
Welcomed to verifer it.
Game is up in verification:
Thats seems good places and 500 letter sig is not  are bad thing anymore.
I create page in SDA wiki (what ever)
I fixed it. Now its look this link open correctly.
Thanks guys.:)
I liked your 14.50 run new one might look superb. I´ll wish luck you can go for sub 14 minutes. Thats might be awesome looking run and you have to be submit it.
Awesome. That nearly minutes faster than your previous one.
Thats look Frezyman is not coming. He did awesome job last time. Fucking crazy man got beat Contra sub 11 minutes his 1st attempt. And also his SMB 3 run was really amazing he avoid all hands he are maybe most lucky person what i ever see.
Cool see Metal Gear is on list in this year. Its never are here already. Who might play that if im not come? 35 minutes limit is really easy though.
Thats make it even easier because you living in the unitedstate. Go for ebay and buy New and real NTSC NES. Thats make your live easier.
You maybe can buy new NES in ebay. Hopefully its working better than your old. Thats maybe easiest way got real NTSC NES.
Virtual console is allowed too. Used DVD recorder then quality it SDA worthy.
Welcomed to site Rocky L Rose. Yeah there was already topic with this. TG run seems really good. Im not thinking it is fake. TG runs are also real run and Chrish Knight haved his both boss run in SDA too. Its best of luck if someone try beat it. But it is surely humanly possible beat it.
All new members cant know rules. Not need are harsh.
I hope new members not escaped here because you really are good irritate peoples. But i wanted say you not know nothing and you not are speedrunner. You are just one freaking clown but you not are fun clown
Seriously you not know nothing about speedruns and you only like tease new memebers and these guys go leave here just that reason because you are retared. Im not care you here. I leaved mk2k2 because im not like that site anymore and most professional speedrunners are go leave away. You not was reason with this so im not care with you here.
I think 99.99999% all SDA members haved more sense than you.
Congrats pojr sub 14 minutes run. I have to watch it later. Seems very good you are got over minutes away your orginal run which also seems look good.
Game look similar with both. Why SDA not accept yobo NES runs? Is this like emulator or something?
What different is between Yobo NES & real NTSC NES?
So this rule change is big bad idea. Im not like this. Hopefully its never happen.
I personally like watch much more speedruns without used secret worlds because these speedruns are real.
Also secret worlds are cheating. These skip large amount game and you will always find new secret wolrds and route will always changed. Also wall crawls skip much interesting tricks and its not look cool see when someone jumping outsite screen most of the time. All super awesome trick  will lost like vent shaft bomb jump, geo core bombslot jump and etc... stuff. If we talking about low-% runs.
These need are seperate category. Thats unfair runner like Zoid who is did most awesome speedruns in SDA without secret worlds. He is just best, thats so unfair if he got lost his records if someone used secret worlds.
Im not like this.
These both seems tricks. Not glitch IMO.
Still these seems as well glitchs like secret worlds in Prime series.
And how about Castlevania DOS boss rush mode run? This can be done used succubus warp glitch and my best time is somewhere 40 seconds here. Peoples never allow with this because its look so stupid and noob. And its not look interesting. I like more watch boss rush mode runs normally.
I agree SW runs and im not find nothing bad with this as long as they are seperate category. But im not like it if secret worlds runs will obsoleted runs without SW used. Thats unfair and im not like this idea. Thats just sounds like same as if someone make Castlevania (GBA or DS) runs with suspend glitches used.
But im not really like when someone spend half amount gametime outside into screen. Thats simply look stupid and im not find any interesting with this.
IMO secret worlds and infinite speedbug are huge warps category. Nothing else can,t say. See my previous post where i tell example with this.
Zoid started his own new run. Thats look its went even better than Sparky run. This will be played without secret worlds. He is completed 5 segments. Though he is privated his run but we youtube friend can see it.
He is only admin here who are Metroid games expert.
Thats big question what Nate will thinking with this.
I´ll try got contact with Zoid too and ask him what he will thinking with this. Its might take time when he respond for me because Zoid rarery visit in youtube.
But i´ll hope old rules will be up in future. But i can only hope it
Let admins just determine it. Nate is only "admin" who is Prime expert.  Thats just important what he will thinking with this. And if he like this idea i can,t say anything.
Thats just. We can,t know it how rule change will happen.
LOL thats fun
I`ll try. But i rarery find point what you talking.
About secret worlds stuffs in MP 2 Echoes. Is 14% hard run more interesting than 21% hard mode run? 14% run not includes quadraxis fight and boss fights are most cool stuff in low-% runs. I like much more see crazy boss fight than borring wall crawls.
I just wonder why my Iron Sword run not obsoleted votava run even magic keeping glitch seems very minor thats surely less cheat than secret worlds. But its still seperate category and its fine for me.
Thats fact glitches in Ocarina of time save much more than secret worlds in Prime. But these seems similar looking glitches.
But who care how much it save. I counted MP secret worlds same category as Ocarina of Time with glitches. There is still seperate category with full medallions collected and seperate category with glitches.  And all Ocarina of time glitches seems same as secret worlds in Prime series.
In Echoes it is easy to say. Secret wolrds cut much parts entire game. I counted these major skip
Yes this is big question what is major skips?
And you not have to always comment your retared comments if you not know what you want to say. BTW Do you ever sleep?
There is two good example with this. If secret wolrds are allowed obsoleted no SW runs why there is seperate category game like this? Both runs are less glitchy than SW runs in Prime series. And thats fact Mike not know nothing about GCN Metroids. I´ll hope hear Nate opinion with this.
But im have to with good reason say this. If secret worlds will obsoleted (no SW category) I´ll hope All glitch runs will be same category Like Megaman 2 & Iron Sword run. Thats mean glitch run will be only allowed into site.
I love you Mike.
And PAL is seperate category but then you have to play well like NTSC run. Good luck with this.:)
I´ll hope see it at least in speedrun collection. If this rule change will happen. I´ll hope see it in SDA too if quality are fast as Sparky or even faster.
Thats cool see Zoid is back and his youtube channel is open too.
Let see what will happen about rule change. Let admins decide it. Im not haved any troubles about it if it are ok Zoid & Djgrenola. Otherwise im not like it. But let see what will happen. You guys are hear my opinion and im not are changed it. But this is your site Mike and you will decide it.
Thats also cool he didn,t want remove all his runs.
I was vacation. Cool see Zoid is back in SDA.
Let see what will happen.
This look djgrenola not seems happy with this. I ask that with PM Zoid too. He said its ok, but also he not seems happy with this.
Thats maybe not hurt site much if you going submit this one in SDA and try redo it later.
Do you even plan submit that in youtube or somehwere else internet? Thats might be awesome see it. Its might take much time when you got 49 minutes.
Is anyone ever banned here? I guess nobody are not. Even you are banned you can write without accounts. Guests can still write.
All SW & IS tricks are OOB and there is absolutely nothings how we can even comapared secret worlds with ghetto, dash or bomb jumps stuffs. These three are just pure game tricks like Zoid said.
I agree Zoid & djgrenola with most things. And i really understand its piss of a lot. Im not like this rule change too. This hold idea is piece of shit IMO. Because its so unfair persons who owns awesome runs into site and these are played without SW and little later secret worlds are allowed obsoleted runs without secret worlds and all hard job will be unnecessary.
Thats always interesting read Zoid post.
That was cool
LOL
Then you are out
How much time difference is between any-% & low-% run? At least nettori & nigtmare take longer to kill, but i think other bosses are theoretical as fast as. Also 1% run is tons harder speedrun than any-% run low energys and low missiles make this so hell to speedrun
I am waiting your 1% run so so soooo looooonng I was surprised even you finally got 50 minutes you not was happy with it. 50 minutes was as good as wassup dawgs previous any-% WR and one minutes faster than Kridly previous any-% SS WR.
I´ll hope you will submit if you going 49 minutes.
Like Riskbreaker said. Huge tank are weak with you bullets too. Bosses 1, 3 & Huge tank are vulnerability with your bullets too.. Other bosses requires grenades or rockets.
Yes extra life not counted item. Im not was even need it. Thats always come front up my route so i grap it.
But its working very well if you used grenades too. Machine gun is good friend assist your fight. But used machine gun only is much slower IMO.
I already show fight machine gun only. Machine gun is much less effective than grenades.
But yes gun and grenades both are good used with same time. We both was right at it.
Yes this video was played my emulator "keyboard used" and my firing speed is 3x faster with real NES controlls. Thats just not make it very realistic compared it.
Congrats heidman. I can,t wait see your other runs. And not give up Contra run. You are only who can theoretcial beat frezy awesome 10:17 here.
Frezy is not only one who can firing like crazy. This seems heidman firing speed is even faster than frezy or at least as fast as.
Thats mean this run is very, very, very close perfect limit.
Thats went really well. I think at most 4-5 seconds can be saved with better luck and execution.
Which is your goal in low-% run and any-% run?
Damn. Seems good.
You still beat my run what ever you will obsoleted it, you should be happy with it ;). I´ll hate all new stupid rule changes with every games for example Metroid Prime. If we decide about rules then we have to play game with these rules, not changes these later. No upgrades/no items is same thing IMO. Extra life not help you play game faster and its might look super rough if you will die so many times even you can play quickly.
Who care about 1 up. Im not think anymore death abuse save time. If you pick up 1 up or not what ever. You still got 1 ups when you collect enought points. Im not count extra life item. Im not absolutely banned it.
Huh thats seems superb. I can,t even imagine how well you did it.
Do you want post run in youtube? Im really interested see it. I might try redo it when i first see it. I personally can,t go under 8:45 in any theory. Maybe new stuffs/strategys are founded thats might give me more motvation go for sub 8:30, depend how perfect run this is.
He was just changed his account name thats cheat me.
Im jut pointed out new world record holder are Vgmr.
These are maybe my potential SDA projects in future. Otherwise i´ll play games through casually.
Possible SDA Projects in future********************************: Jackal NES: I´ll want got WR back if i can. Thats just depend how fucking cool Vgmr run is Bionic commando NES any-% sub 17 minutes with AB reset. I know i haved theoretcial chance beat Feasel run with enought big margin. But thats all depend extremely luck and perfect gameplay. Trojan NES I haved casual speedrun in 7:53. I have to increase some skiils and try go for close enought TG record. Joe & Mac. I am also planning redo my submiting run in future. But right now this are stuck in verification topic so maybe im not back this soon. Game is also extremely frustrating.
Im not haved real plans. I´ll maybe will did some casual speedruns in future.
My New Metal Gear runs are underverification. Also Joe & Mac caveman ninja will need verifers (maybe never find enought).
I´ll lost my Jackal WR run. Thats sad but i´ll are really glad see new run by Vgmr. I maybe try got it back later. Depend how perfect it is.
My future plans. Im not are planning what i goes next. Im not are got new games in ebay yet. Thats are taking so long.
I decide update this topic. New runs/links are added first page.
Also all old runs comments are disappear. Some old runs comments includes interesting stuff and thats fun read comments about older WR runs. I´ll save all my SDA author comments in future. I am still losting my comment my oldest SDA run (probo 2 16:58).
Who really can find all those runs here. Thats much easier find game page with game name like already as well runners author comments was up then
Thats hard search older speedruns because every runs is posted for example like February2010 runs, March2010 runs, April2010 runs and etc.....
Im dislike with this new system about old runs. I loved read comments by old runs. A today old runs coming in archive, but there is not own pages about games.
Yes i try, but that impossible sometimes. And actually im not rant. I just say my opinion.
About Jackal thats same as no upgrades or no items. Not different about it.
I mean i hate rule changes overall. Most i hate rule change Metroid Prime series. I just mean that overall. If we have to rules we have to used these rules and not changes rules later. I mean it everysingle games.
What ever reason this run will obsoleted my own one.
Yeah thats not matter is category no items or no upgrade. Thats same as.
I wonder how this can take so long find verifers. There are still run up already is it taking even longer?
EDIT: I forget to say my brother did run without cannon warps (not all boss killed) Is cannon less run seperate category?  Yeah i agree rejection all boss run, thats just not seems real category.
IIRC my brother did several years ago casual speedrun single segmented this one. He beat it slightly under one hour somewhere 59 minutes.
Also SMB 3 there was also three category in TAS videos. Thats just surprised me why this is reason reject run if this are otherwise well played run.
16-start (min-% 70-star (without major skip 120 star (100%)
Yeah and there is also one more example SMB 64 categorys
If you play game through with all boss kill then you have to play all worlds. Run without cannon warps seems more real category than all boss killed IMO.
Beat all worlds & all bosses (i guess runner did) Beat game without cannons warps (then you skip worlds 4 & 7) Or alternate skip worlds 3 & 6)
I mean there is two way
I loved DD 1:06 too. It was great job single segment 1% category. Thats sounds just incredible someone can going this fast like 49 minutes. My personal best 1% segmented is 57 minutes and thats was really hard make it fast like this even used save points. I can,t even beat 1% SS run.
I can,t believe it before i see it. Damn man you are cool.
Low-% SS 49 minutes
But some DVD errors seems impossible fix, but if error are your disc you might try save your file.
I am sometimes got errors my disc. Then hold video is possible watch my disc but its not allow rip it correctly. Maybe errors like this are possible save file. I think used camstudio and record with it. Camstudio not automatically recorded sounds, but maybe can record sounds if you haved soundcard.
So is there any way save your file or do you need make whole run again?
But yes its might be easiest way make another run if you really are patient enought make all awesome stuffs over again.
Though im not sure allow SDA this and how much its lower quality and etc.... You maybe can ask that with Nate.
I still believe your  file can still saved. Though im not know error before i see it. I think if you got normal disc error then you can watch your whole run your DVD, but its not allow rip it correctly. Thats most common error especially if you are used same DVD RW disc way too much. Disc got damaged after tons erased and ripping and etc.... But usually then you still can save file. Just use some different rip program or camstudio recorded can working well.
So i´ll give full point your patience.
Good luck with it again You might make it even faster. I personally was get depressed and totally bored try awesome run again.
And i agree about lags. Maybe you not need pick up that star item in last level. Its might be good idea take only one rocket. But i thinking collect full rockets in first level is good idea. Its will save time with boss
I already did test run with power ups 9:09. Just show some tips. Its played with death abuse too.
Death abuse against helicopter seems fine enought. You can also collect power ups back in last level. There you find star item and got all power up back.
Its actually faster beat first boss with four way rockets. Then tanks appeared into screen twice faster. Even you lost time collect rockets its will save time back with 1st boss. IIRC i timed it once, but time difference is still very minor.
Its fact levels includes more enemys if you haved too much power ups. 1 way rockets seems fine way save time than four way rockets. At least lags are easier controll here.
I also pointed out you can kill tanks and soldiers faster in Fortress fight and its might make some less lags here. Then taking four way rocket seems faster method because you can kill both tanks with one shot. But i think what ever method thats very minor time save/lost i think.
I agree with you. Thats might be faster with 1 way rocket than four way.
If your DVD fuck with this one i´ll buy new DVD recorder for you lol I can,t wait see this run.
Damn man. You are awesome.
Can we see this at least in youtube. Cool to hear DVD is ok.
Do you going submit this one?
I really wonder if 51 is even possible. But if this are, thats surely limit.
Run was simply amazing. I pick up some "nerves" mistakes last three part. But thats very understandable very long and hard SS speedrun. First six parts in video went near perfectly and includes new and really cool looking timesavers. Also Metroid skip was something new i never are see before.
I ranked this best looking Super Metroid speedrun ever.  I just wonder if someone can going beat it. Thats surely much better than Hotarubi 100% run "50 minutes" I guess this equal 47-48 minutes on NTSC.
I watched it.
I think this is real category "non oob" I think we not need other non oob subspecies
As far as i can tell there is up Kazooie full medallion single segment run.
But if you find enought yes votes here this game is surely cool see in SDA. Go on try it.:)
Game is rare so thats might be very hard find verifers and its can take forever "like my Joe & Mac NES run"
I am played that game my emulator. Its seems accetable game in SDA. Though im not personally like play this game.
I really loved see better run if you really are going make it. I still ranked up your 52 one all around best looking Super Metroid run. Mistakes very end seem minor, but yeah you might save important seconds if you can avoid all. Thats might just crazy see perfect 100% SS run i can,t wait it
I´ll keep thumbs up with your new attempts if you really plan go 51 minutes thats might be just insane. Thats seems you have to make everythings perfectly here. I only pick up minor errors your 52 run its might be long way make everything perfectly and its maybe still not going in 51. Though it depend how high 52 this are.
Thats look you are perfectionist like Zoid & Biospark. These guys never are too happy even everybody else are.
What to hell you are not happy enought with it? We not see that in SDA?
Im not going make that in SDA. But who know maybe in future i might try got challenge my 41:35 run. Right now my skills are way too rusty make it and im not are get very used play game with GBA player. But as far as i can tell with extremely good luck manipulatiuon and incredible patience sub 41 is surely theoretical possible time to reach, but in future its might be enought got just sub 42 or beat 41:35 run. Sub 41 might be way too hard goal even masters.
I am added completed 11 segments my test run now
I called that just test run, because im not going try beat my best unrecorded run "41:35" But i just try make it look cool enought, because i recorded it. I orginally thinking i´ll make test run 45 minutes or so. Now this look i am some seconds ahead my 2nd best speedrun 43:40 so i´ll might be try make sub 44 minutes this time too and this one will be recorded run.
Just work on 9% normal speedrun.
Very last boss look very ok. Its look you missing some grenades, but thats very hard to avoid.
Level 4. Good tip avoid kill missile launcher Level 5. Route seems same as me Level 6. Its look you got most improvements here. Awesome strategy kill helicopeter your behind. Starting boss fight seems good idea kill tank first and helicopter later this look its avoid some huge lags.
Level 2. IMO i beat this level cleaner. But maybe your strategys controlls lags was better, you still might save time kill enemies used bullets than grenades. I have to timed it later Level 3. Route seems different, maybe less lags? Boss was identical as me.
Level 1. Why you kill so many turrets used grenades? BSulpher already told me its better way avoid lags used bullets with most enemies. Also you enteri with boss more right than me. I think enter as left as possible is some frames faster.
I watched it awesome run. I still wonder where you beat my time so much. I´ll timed your strategy later i not have time right now.
Joe & Mac is still up in list. Thats are taking so long. I sending run to Nate over month ago. I´ll hope game find verifers somedays. Usually Nes games not take long like this find verifers. This seems rare game for Nes.
But seriously this your run not seems impossible hard to beat. So i maybe will back it later, but not very soon. I just haved other games work on now. But i planning back attempt this one later in this year.
Already my first submission 9:25 (2-death run) Was very cool looking run. But my lags controlls was simply bad. BrianS told me how avoid lags better and later i fix it includes some better boss startegys. Then i easily redo my run several seconds.
Annoying i not have mediaplayer where i can watch both runs side to side. But yes it look mostly you did level 6 much better. My level 5 includes ugly death cost me 3-4 seconds. 20 seconds still sounds much. Your runs just look only 10 seconds faster. But maybe lags what i did level 6 first boss are quite huge. You did it very well and very less lags. These lags slow really much.
EDIT Archive link is done.
I also did point record 647200. Thats i just continued playing after making this run. I was surprised i beat game through 3 times without getting any game over.
I finally got this game in ebay. I really liked this game. Its annoying speedrun but luckily short game. Im not are way too happy my run, but mostly its went well. Level 5 was quite ugly, i just haved horrible enemy locations here.  I´ll might try redo that run later. My own next goal would be sub 10:20. Just requires more risky runs in later levels and especially area 5 have to be better. But a today i was happy it. Its first time when i beat game without taking deaths on real console.
Its played on real system. Its beat my very old emulator run by 22 seconds.
Speedrun a today Rush´n Attack for NES I did beat it without deaths in 10:37
Thanks everyones:)
Awesome to see accepted this run. I was really worry about it. But as far as i can tell game is really hard and deathless is always hard task.
Cool see guy who last time reject accept my both runs this time.  And yeah i agree my mistakes in deathless run was just noob looking. Especially some things before last building look little bad. I might try better run somedays. But its seems thats still good enought.
Thanks guys.:)
I am sure this run is so awesome.
Thats maybe fastest verification ever. Annoying im not haved chance verifer it. I can,t wait see it.
You guys find me so quick.
Cool thats fun game.
Do you mean Virtual console version? Is there difference between N64 & WII version? Most games are normally indentically same.
Thats might be cool see deathless run with this category. Though its have to be almost good as death run so its might be very hard did its accetable enought. If you read old verifications you might learn something about best route.
Someone already trying that category. He got reject, because run was quite cautions and route not was way too great.
Well there is just casual speedrun forum too
All stuffs in world record runs take really much practice and luck, so i did some cautions intentions with hardest places.
Only 13 seconds faster, but somereason this look a lot better than previous one. Less stop, less cautions and more solid looking gameplay. I still did some hard places levels 4, 5 & 6 cautions enought. Thats just hard enought survive alive here. But hell yeah guys this look like speedrun. Its doesn,t look superb like andrew or vgmr run. But right now this is my first good looking gameplay at this game. Its take me nearly 3 hours a today, but it is worth it.:) This game is just very good so i might try redo that later. But this seems really good run for me right now.:)
Rush Attack speedrun again 10:24
But everyone called game Metal Gear 2 because game is 2nd in NES series. Its just more simple call it MG 2.:)
Thats true. Yeah game name is not Metal Gear 2 its just Snake revenge.
9% normal mode Not my all around best run, but really good one after 4 years breaking. I´ll post video my own collection until dowloading is done. Youtube are hating me two days and like give me several errors.
Great job packattack. Is there difference between PAL version run? IIRC WR was played on european version. That was also very high quality looking run.
Damn this is fucking good news. I can´t wait see this one.:)
Its take quite long.
Cool i just see Joe & Mac NES are got enought verifers.
Youtube link my playlist is update main page. Enjoy my run.:)
Metroid Zero Mission 9% items on normal mode is update my list Archive link is here
Even games like this moving autoscrolls you will surprise how much you can controlls time with boss fights and lag controlls. Its can be even some minutes.
-Life force NES. As less you shoot as less you have lags. Lags slow tons time. Also bosses can done always better. -Super R-type SNES. Beat game hard & PRO mode without dying and see real ending its surely even harder than Super Ghouls Ghost run. Bosses can take long time take down. Also less shooting as possible make less lags.
For example about two games:
I vote yes. Its might be interesting see speedruns autoscroll games too. Autoscroll games haved more sense than games like Clue which ended in 3 seconds.
Questions about autoscroll games speedruns. What do you think?
I can imagine:P
My english is surely better a today than 3-4 years ago i think. Im not speak good english. Thats easy guys who living in America. My life is much harder because english is not are my language. Thats still look most guys understand me 50% and thats enought for me.
Even with deaths you are did it very quickly. Me too will hope see deathless run in future. But you not need hurry about it. You have to keep long break with this game and back with this maybe until next year. Then you maybe will hate that game less.;)
Cool see this one in SDA.
Cool see you still put attempts try redo it. Don,t take too much stress go for 51 minutes. You already make really good run.
IMO you should submit your 52 if you can,t going it faster. I watched its back and its looks there is very minor amount mistakes. Mistakes with Tourian & Mother Brain glass not cost way too much time IMO. 51 sounds nearly impossible and its surely requires nearly perfect gameplay.
Cool see you keep that your progress.
Congrats Spacoina. I never knew your real name. I hear this first time now. Is this your first SDA run?
I can understand it. You are spend really long time running with this. I remember when i work on my Probo 2 run. Its really star tired me die areas 6 & 7 over and over.
Main idea was ask games which are 100% autoscrolls for example Gradius series games & R-type series games. Then you can only controlls time with better boss fights and better lag controlls.
For example SMB 3 min-% run haved 50% autoscroll levels & 50% speedruns levels Guardian Legend is another example with this. Game haved 50% autoscroll & 50% other adventure like Zelda style
Yeah i agree SDA are already accept some games which are 50% autoscrolls
If someone wanted see my Dracula fight my run. I just haved superb luck and make critical hit with it like TAS did. Yeah i drain whole 50% energys away my 1st hit. Im not sure how this exactly happen, thats just very rare.
With two deaths (2nd death was intention and cost me only 2-3 seconds fill energys before Dracula. First death cost me around 25 seconds. Thanks with Bat level 6. I just haved rough luck and getting hit with bat and falling down. Otherwise this run was quite well played when compared it thats my first speedrun into game. I might keep redo that later.
Castlevania NES Speedrun 15:08
I did another Castlevania run. This ended 14:36 There not was ugly deaths like last time. I just only make one intention death before Dracula because i haved last energy. This cost 2-3 seconds time and its not look ugly. Mostly everythings went better than last time. Only Dracula 1st form was a lot slower because surprisely i didn,t haved luck make critical damage glitch like i did last time. As far as i can tell its so rare, used only TAS runs. I just accidentally make it my first run so this caused me most time lost compared previous run. Level 1 Was my all around best Level 2 Was my tie best Rest Level 3 was little sloppy but still faster than last time Last half level 4 was unlucky almost every eagles come my back and make time lost Level 5 was one my best. I was really happy last half level Level 6 bats was lucky expect last one. Skeleton caused me two hit and take nearly all my energys Dracula was ok for me. Last time its went just much better because i caused critical damage against him. I´ll post run in archive maybe later a today.
BTW Kraeshi you are did so good job. I´ll watch your run soon as i can. This might be superb good looking. I am watching your previous one three times. Its might be awesome see this new one.
Like Kareshi did i always used med quality because high quality take really much computer space.
Many times quality got improvement when run got up into site. Quality just suck with verification copy. Someone verifer told audio was horrible my Snake revenge run, but im not haved any audio trouble my VOB files before i send it.
Castlevania 14:36 Part 1 Part 2
After continous errors im not got loaded it succesfully in archive and its take forever load it in youtube but i finally got it done
Also andrewg planning go for sub 9 minutes gameplay. I have to bumb this topic and ask do you guys are forget working on this? I personally really waiting see sub 9 minutes run sooner or later. We know sub 9 is possible because cak are did it but somereason he never did any video about this.
Thats 8-9 months now when cak did sub 9 minutes run. Im not are hear anything about this.
You can try make it in SDA only if you are interested enought. Thats sad to hear you are giving up with this. I am really interesting see nearly 20 seconds faster run. Current "9:15" run is superb too.
Why TG not allow this? Banned glitches used?
Thats weird. I am hearing about guys like Feasel he are did his Bionic commando run in TG & SDA. Verification method in TG was DVD. Also Andrewg was posted his SMB 2 9:15 run with both sites. Do you think can SDA accept VHS runs? Though im not sure how much its lower quality and SDA wanted see runs with high quality.
Annoying im not see any serious close calls like previous run. Kareshi skiils are too good a today. I loved see close calls in speedruns. Its just really great run and make look hard game easy enought. Thats look Kareshi can beat game over and over and he never die.
I just watched this. Its very great run.
That pretty damn incredible how VGMR did his any-% 8:20. Can you show this one too? I think im not going try any-% run. I am just more interested try redo your low-% run but maybe this any-% haved some cool stuffs i never are knew.
All 10-12 seconds time lost happen for me Fortress fight and Huge tank. Thats just make my run whole 20 seconds slower. VGMR did Fortress fight so well that was nearly totally lag less fight. Is it just pure luck how many tanks come your behind or can you controlls it something?  Thats always cost tons time if i have to kill tanks here. VGMR did awesome  huge tank fight. First i think my own fight was faster but after watching run side to side thats seems VGMR did it nearly 4-5 seconds faster than me. I still think this is nearly only way try redo that run make Huge tank more luckier.
I´ll try find ways beat VGMR run. Seriously his low-% run was nearly perfect i maybe never beat it. But i got fun and try practice and test some different strategys. I timed some things. I was little amount faster levels 2 & 3. VGMR seems two seconds faster level 1 and par as fast as level 4. Level 5 seems nearly as fast as expect my death which cost me 3-4 seconds and i lost maybe one extra seconds with lags before boss. Level 6 seems near as fast expect 2nd spread cannon and helicopter. Thats strategy kill helicopter your behind seems nice idea and not was even difficult.
I am practice that game two last days.
Most hard things perfected for me are Trojan warriors. These are really hard perfected also seems random how you hit with its. Armadillos are biggest luck base these can ate a l lot time.
A today i managed did game 4th completion run in 7:43. Thats take me only two failed attempts. Both armadillo fights was really unlucky here, i think i can save 10 more seconds with better luck Armadillos. Hope my next run going for sub 7:30. Though im not haved idea how much better i can got but i think SDA stanard about first run might be somewhere 7:20 range. I just look forvard it. This is short and simple game but perfection is always hard task.
Speedrun history. V-1: 08:44 (Done 29th juny 2010) V-2: 08:15 (Done 29th juny 2010) V-3: 07:53 (Done 30th juny 2010) V-4: 07:43 (Done 8th sep 2010) V-5: 07:38 (Done 8th sep 2010) V-6: 07:33 (Done 9th sep 2010) V-7: 07:14 (Done 9th sep 2010)
Well i think this is my next SDA progress if anyone else not are interesting make this. Seriously i really wonder why there is not are run up with this game. Game is quite popular game and its not even rare game.
I´ll load this run soon as i can.
I am curious who was this runner? IIRC Frezyman and Pojr are working on this category but neither don,t seems submit it.
BTW every critics and comments are welcomed. I´ll are quite serious with this speedrun. I want make accetable run sooner or later if someone else didn,t make it. Right now its seems i am only one who working on this.
When i look out TG run thats look i losed 20 seconds level 4 only and several potential seconds with first armadillo. I am really bad with level 4, even practice it my emulator i still losed time TG record. If someone didn,t know TG best time is somewhere 6:57-6:58 used SDA time rules. Im not really try reach beat it. But i´ll try make it close enought. Right now my skill level are enough reach run sub 7.30 run. I´ll hope somedays sub 7:20 or lower. I think skills and speeds got improvement if i keep playing so thats really hard to say how well i can finally goes it.
7:43 is up in youtube
EDIT: I just see your videos. I was very glad especially your Trojan warrior 3-2 i giving more comments your youtube channel. BTW do you can show me how you did Trojan warrior level 6-1? Jump timing might be different here.
BTW: Thats help me a lot when i did  run Rush´n attack casual speedruns couple weeks before i started attempts this one. Its just help me a lot make jumps constantly used d-pad
I´ll waiting see your youtube tips. I still haved major troubles especially with Trojan warriors. Even watching TG run several times i still can,t realize that timing to kill him. Akhilles is little easier for me. Yesterday just practice it a lot my emulator. I can even let 197 time remain, but its rare. 195-196 is just my good fight.  I still haved little trouble make it constantly, especially if i am nervers enought. but these Trojan warriors are just my major trouble.
Thats just ironic my 7:43 take only two attempts to beat. I just managed 7:38 and its take me near two hours. Many enemys are just luck.
Thanks Ktwo. Yeah i know its have to be close 7 minutes before submission but as far as i can tell i not still need to beat TG time if i going close enought about it. But i´ll look around how well i can goes this, i didn,t submit before i am did all well enought. Right now its seems 7:20 and under, but maybe my skill level will increased when i keep trying.
I personally loved this run. I´ll watch it again. Its really good speedrun i enjoy every seconds.:)
I have to say this run was absolutely superb. I never ever was reject it. I agree two big mistakes 1:Death 2: Bowser without fire. These cost a lot time, but everything else look went really good. I´ll hope runner are proud himself because he are did one masterpiece. I´ll hope SDA not regert this. I think there is not are many runners who can make run like this. Execution was really nice and planning was superb. Luck manipulation seems very ok. And about death if you was getting hit with 2nd hand that was maybe costing more than death.
I just watched it. Im not was verifer.
Damn this is fucking good news. Let see how well he/she can goes.
Right now my Thumb is extremely hurting. god i hate that constanly jumping
EDIT: Another 5 seconds improvement I got 7:33 Both Trojan warrior went well enought. Akhilles was decent 194 time remain. Luck with armadillos not was good but i think better than my two previous runs. Level 4-1 was horrible bad looking. I haved real trouble hit with power up and i also did many little error with this level.
EDIT: I did myself some boss fights quick kill too. I´ll hope i can did well boss fights my final product. Annoying i can,t make Trojan warriors constantly
I´ll try make some attempts later a today. Hopefully can got more faster run. Next goal time will be sub 7:30.
Akhilles seems easier for me. I got 10 times successive attempts 196-197 time remain. My strategy are did akhilles without jumping its seems slightly easier realize that timing. But its seems Ktwo and my way are as fast as.  Akhilles are still annoying. Muscler caused me some troubles especially first one in level 3-1. If i try got it fast i´ll sometimes got two hits and that mean low energys in 3-2 which usually caused me death.  I trying realize that timing too but its seems random. I´ll hope its will be easier on console because i can rapid B more faster.
This look avarage succesrate make Trojan warrior quickly increased quite bit its look that key make constant hit are slash and jump immediately when you get hit with land. Thats timing is still very hard realize for me. Even practice it a lot my succesrate seems increased little bit but thats still hard.
I look out ktwo videos and practice that myself too on my emulator.
Final time was 7:14. Yeah some bad luck with enemy locations but mostly this run was really good one. Akhilles was only dissappoint thing. i was freaking nerves and thats going little slow (193 time remain) . But yeah this is my first really good speedrun where most luck bases went well enought.
Finally really great run. Most things went better than i was thinking especially both armadillos was super lucky and Trojan warriors went better than usually. I´ll post run in youtube and if i can,t redo that i´ll might even submit this
Total times 4-5 hours recording attempts drop time 7:53 to 7:14.
I might be submit this one. Because i think its mostly accetable. Though i like hear comments with you guys. I might try redo that later, but as far as i can tell thats not happen without a lot luck. It was painfully going sub 7:30, i was never believe i can drop time a lot soon and going for sub 7:20  but its requires just only one lucky attempt.
I looking it back and thats seems really nice speedrun for me. That total i lost TG run was 14 seconds used levels ingame timer. Thats maybe not very precise timer. I was mostly very happy with this one. There is some dissappoint things like Akhilles and some bad enemy locations waste time.  Most important was both armadillo fights was really lucky. Got 170 or so time remain level 2-1 happen me around 10% of the time.
Yep 7:14 Its here
But not without lots luck. TAS limit into game are 6:16 with perfect luck and perfect execution. As long as you reached it you can drop time. My 7:14 was very good looking though.
Thanks man. Yeah i agree about ending its better than most old NES games.
I still agree its slightly slower than TG run but i guess these TG runners never visited in SDA. I am watching TG runs couple times. Mamusi level 4-1 is extremely random i practice it my emulator and i usually always lost half aways my energys which is nearly suicide in level itself. Most things i can fix are really minor. I usually lost 10 or more seconds with Trojan warriors and armadillos. Both went really well here. I think i can make some things more aggressive but i never are got good armadillos and Trojan like here thats reason why i really want submit this one.
I still planning submit this one. Its surprisely lucky run and i think i can,t going its much faster and constant jumping really killed me too that hurting my thumb so much and i usually make good run with couple attempts otherwise my thumb are way too hurting played game anymore. I enjoy much more playing that game my emulator used computer keyboards used.
Maybe best games on series are: Castlevania Dracula curse & Super Castlevania IV. New Castlevania games i liked most Portrait of ruin & Aria of sorrow. Hard to say which is best.
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow is maybe easiest to beat. Also Castlevania 2 simon quest if you know how solved all troubles. Otherwise game is maybe hardest. Im not never are played any really hard Castlevania games but Dracula curse is maybe most challenging especially on NTSC version. PAL version is a lot easier though.
Cool see someone back with this game too. Someone already seems make nice run in 12 & half minutes but he never submited or improvement it. Nice to see this game is good hands now.
Congrtats great time deaths or not.:)
Its deathless?
BTW Im not seriously understand why i have to beat TG run before first submission. This site is not are TG and most TG player never visited here.
I have to practice later levels a lot. TG runner are did superb job levels 4, 5, 6 & 7. First three level can goes faster even me. Level 4 can,t even much faster expect if you got totally perfect armadillo 3x1 fight.
I look his level 6 i think i can going it fast as his used more savestates and making everythings perfectly. Theoretical i can beat game sub 7 minutes if every luck bases went well i planned includes perfect armadillo fights with both encounters. Usually this all is much harder pull off SS speedrun because many things can going wrong.
Im not know how TG runner are did level 4 so quick this is my biggest pain entire run. His armadillo was nearly perfect lucky. Also i never are beat his time level 5. I am got 175 twice but its never are goes 176 even everythings seems going perfect.
Level 7 TG run 196 (nearly 197) My run 193 My best 197
Level 6 TG run 152 My run 149 My best 150
Level 5 TG run 176 My run 174 My best 175
Level 4 TG run 135 My run 128 My best 131
Level 3 TG run 142 My run 141 My best 143
Level 2 TG run 144 My run 147 My best 148
But i am did some timing about my best ID levels (played on emulator & savestates used), my 7:14 run and TG run Level 1: TG run 157 My run 156 My Best 158
I am still kept playing, but just my emulator. Even i submited 7:14 run i might withdraw it if i goes faster or find way redo my avarage speed. Otherwise my final time will stay just with this, because nearly everythings went well i as planned and i didn,t find any real things where i can redo it.
E: Huh thats long text and includes much information. Its goes little off topic but i´ll hope Mike read this.
So im not promise anythings about this. I´ll only make attempts if i can drop much time used heavy amount savestates. Otherwise i´ll let this with this. And that all what i wanted to say with my progress. I also haved my own life and i am busy sometimes. I didn´t haved time spending million hours trying attempts to beat TG "perfect" record.
I might still keep trying if i can goes drop time with my emulator. Thats only hope make faster run. 7:14 90% all things and luck bases went well as i planned its really hard to beat. I didn,t even know where i can redo it more than 5 seconds. Only way is increased avarage speed like crazy.
But like i said its just Mike choice what he want take up into site. He is dictator here like spiderwaffle already said.  This is his site and he are allowed change rules and decide what he want take up. Thats just fucking ironic Mike didn,t even post that run up in verification topic because he are decide reject it selfish without needing verification and thats suck compared how well played run this is. Like a lot: Someone was got long sentence for prison without trial.
Its six year nobody not are make any run with this game. My 7:14 was already really solid gameplay, as far as i can tell its 2nd best run what ever are created. It was are "superb" first speedrun and awesome starting point.
Yeah i agree you with this. I was pretty sure most verifers was liked and accept my 7:14 run. Its surely  better than over 50-75%% accepted "first" speedruns into SDA. But its just Mike choice what he want take up, im not shit care it. If someone was did even high 7 minutes run two year ago it was surely are accetable then and it was are staying up into site.  Then my run was are automatically accepted because it was are improvement over previous. Its shit care about TG runs. For example with this are Metroid run. TG run is 16 minutes and SDA run is shy 18 minutes. If someone will did 17 minutes run in SDA i think its automatically accepted because it is improvement but still slower than TG run.
And thanks tjp7154 your comment i am glad you liked my run.
LOL Thats Mike post was just fun. I still wanna cry because he will put me in prison later: '(  But Mike was really fair because he put me up in verification. We can,t wait anymore for you Mike, but do you are sure verifers will reject me? If verifers will reject this run then my 7:14 will staying best run in SDA history which are taking reject. I can,t wait it LOL.
Level 7 TG run 196 (nearly 197) My run 193 My best TAS 197 (its usually 196 with perfect fight)
Level 6 TG run 152 My run 149 My best TAS 153
Level 5 TG run 176 My run 174 My best TAS 176
Level 4 TG run 135 My run 128 My best TAS 138
Level 3 TG run 142 My run 141 My best TAS 143
Level 2 TG run 144 My run 147 My best TAS 154
Level 1: TG run 157 My run 156 My Best TAS 159
Here its times
I got beat TG run by 17 ingame seconds and i beat my own console SS run by 31 ingame seconds.  This includes boths totally perfect armadillo encounters 1x4 & 1x3 fights its reason why i am so much faster level 2 than TG run. Chance got both perfect encounter on console are 1/16 & 1/12 attempts so technically this can,t happen on speedrun.
I just did semi TAS run (only used several savestates but all is played real time and without turbo) Its take me around 150-200 save load attempts. I used several savestates per each level and i look out how well i can did with perfect optimizion on console condition.
Next i want told im not want take any stress with this one. I maybe never reached sub 7 minutes run but i´ll keep make some recorded attempts and i´ll wish i am lucky enought.
My savestate run was 6:40 thats includes both perfect armadillo encounters and run includes very minor amount other mistakes so i am allowed did only very minor amount mistakes if i mean reach sub 7 minutes run.
Seriously im not caring take stress with this run. I was personally truly happy my 7:14 run. Though i am extremely happy if i can reach 7:05 or sub 7 minutes run.
I am did some hours recorded attempts my console. I am only reached level 4 once with accetable attempts but i fuck it because i didn,t find speed up quickly and thats mean reset. Even then i was around 2 seconds behind my 7:14 run.  I accept 168 armadillo level 2 if i am fast enought level 1. I am got at least 4-5 attempts 167-170 armadillo but i usually die level 3.
I am sorry my little mathematical typo. I already said its 1/16 & 1/12 got perfect armadillos encounters was wrong. My brother are expert with mathematic and he counted its 1/256 & 1/64 chances got perfect armadillos on console. And yeah i consider it impossible because there is extremely little chance are lucky like this.
About timing im not are sure. I started when i start moved in map and stop when princess appear. I guess its quite same as SDA timing not sure though because SDA change timerules later. BTW i am did both runs over 4 years ago.
Both played on real PAL SNES. Unrecorded ones.
Any-% deathless in 0:12:10 (PAL version) 100% (96 exit) deathless in 2:10:33 (PAL version)
Castlevania NES speedrun in 14:36 archive link is here
I´ll put archive links up: There is my Trojan no items run in 10:15
Hi Favorite runner master-88 is here again
7 minutes faster 100% is surely good stuff too and riverside race sounds awesome. Someone are did 52 seconds riverside race too, but like many youtube videos are played on emulator. Awesome see these runs in SDA. Big congrats with this:)
I hear thats was massive improvement over your previous any-% run. I can,t wait see your runs because i liked your previous one so much.
And yeah i agree PAL run was a lot slower than current NTSC run by mrs Pipper and its surely slower than this one.
I liked previous one that was quite tight run and route & execution seems mostly nice. I can,t wait see this new one
Awesome to see new run. How much faster this run is than previous?
I just sounds noob but i never are played game on difficult mode. I am just completed game once my emulator and i played it through normal mode only.
Is there differents between normal-difficult mode?
Awesome time Heidman. There rising up same question like my Trojan run. Your run is not are fastest time and Humorisk are making faster run than you. You might got at least one reject vote if humorisk are verifer. Who know but at least i wanted see this game in SDA because your time is simply awesome and Humorisk didn´t want submit his own run.
Like Heidman said youtube limit is 15 minutes a today. Then you can show whole run without need edited it.
Then you need rip video through anrichan and used virtual dub edited your video. Thats way i used already before i got nero.
You can split video. Code video VOB to AVI used Nero or Autogk. Autogk is free program and easy one. I like more used Nero because then you not need virtual dub, but like i said nero is not are free program.
I can,t wait faster run. But if you let this with this i´ll be so happy too.  This run look like speedrun and your gameplay make "hard" game look so easy.
Damn this run was great. I giving youtube comment too.
Damn man. You have to submit this one This is really great time close like TAS. Congrats.
This was really nice reason accept my run LOL.
This is maybe fastest verification ever.
Cool see you accepted this run.
Cool see run is accept. Game seems haved some troubles find verifers, but thats finally completed.
LOL im not was my own verifer also my brother didn´t verifer this.
Any-% run was really nice i nearly wanted give bounty if someone will improved it anymore. I still wonder how much perfect lag controlls could save time.  TAS run nearly look as optimize as vgmr console run.
Congrats heidman.
This might be awesome run. I was little dissappoint to hear there is one death which waste time. But i totally agree runner because he are spending much time with this run.
Is anyone planning go for hard mode runs in future? 2nd quest is over twice harder and cooler.
Cool see Votava runs are taked down.
That pretty sad tjp did this run way too early. Now you can drop your time a lot especially used new 1-1 warp glitch.
New TAS was incredible fast. New big time saver warp glitch was truly cool one. Its look quite hard but i think this could be used next console speedrun.
What about glitch level 2?  Im  not are never hearing it?
Maybe jump over spider pods level 7 & jump over cannons level 1 can save some seconds. But time savers like this are really difficult to make. As far as i can tell you need one pixel perfection your jumps. but see just TAS run.
But everythings what you need is you have to used real console and and beat current run into site which is 2h.00.01. Thats awesome time and its more awesome if you can going it faster your recorded attempt.
For sure 1h 57 is accepted because its beat current WR run into site.
Last verifer speaking easiest english ever. Thats was very easy understand he speaking english lot like me. I love his/her style speak english Keep this up.:)
BTW Add with this:
Yeah i agree Biospark. Miles are actually did new run in 1h 12 minutes. I see he are posted new time in cyberscore site.  Thats just main reason why i am really against secret worlds, because its easy find better routes. I guess game can be sub hour in future.
I guess its would be because new glitch keeping items save a lot time.
Is 7% run category OOB?
Dragondarch said how he got cloth tunic easily with first Zombie but even spending hours im not never are got any cloth tunic or baselard drops. I am only got soul two times. I am trying watching TAS but TAS is played on normal mode and its otherwise very different timing. Some RNG help me a lot when i watching TAS for example Red minotaur. But even TAS didn´t help me take baselard. I know there have to be way how to take this drop with 1st kill i have to find it.
About RNG its just not are luck at all. For example i can got battle axe with red minotaur nearly 100% of the time if i did kill it correctly. I remember how i get it 29 times successive attempts my previous speedrun. I guess this working other enemies too, but some frames are really difficult to find.
I might start new project if i can find way how take this but otherwise this will out my plan because im not will continue that if i can,t got this.
I am spending two days and several hours recording attempts trying pick up baselard with 1st Zombie.
Josh Styger did game around 2 minutes faster than current WR run but somereason he never submited. Cool see game in marathon. I still liked see MR Styger run. What is happen with this?
@Andrew: Do you are got 5:00 run more than once your life?
Thats look many things can going wrong. Especially 8-4.
Enjoy my runs.:)
I posted my new SDA runs links my first post.  I´ll hope webnation will post my new SDA runs up his youtube channels later because he haved super uploader. You can also find my runs my youtube but i am just cuttings videos because youtube limit is 15 minutes.
Speedruns update 5th november.
I guess sub hour is easily possible a today.
I see many things are changed since 2006-2007. WR then was 1:09 by Satoryu. It was great time then.
Damn segment 2 look super awesome. I really wonder if you can make it any faster, but keep going if you can.
This run might are super fast sub 50 minutes. I never was believe sub 50 is even possible. I am hearing someone are did sub hour run already.
If runner haved PAL version he can,t used that glitch.
IIRC quest glitch doesn,t work on PAL version.
I have to say runner did really solid run and i enjoy every seconds, especially run was played without any dying. I´ll hope runner didn´t give up. Hope he used better route next time and making run look fast like this.
This run was still faster than 49 minutes. I surprised this was rejected. I watched it and its look really damn fast and also route look solid, but its might faster a today. Im not know because i never are see any better videos.
Damn i remember wrong. I just remember you got 59 minutes. It was 49 minutes im sorry with my bad memory i´ll going old.:-\
WTF?
First verifer was big bad ass hole. He reject this even you improved it by 4 minutes. Good job man!
Congrats packattack!!!!;)
But faster is always faster. Previous runner talking with Brentilda several times and its look so stupid. For sure this run is not are perfect but 2 and half hour lenght game is impossible make perfect and for sure this run look faster than previous one. If you was verifer number one you are ass hole because you can,t play well like this and its make you envy.
Im not submited it because my run was unoptimize at all.  Dragondarch run are really old and many things and soul intentions are changed a today.
I actually beat Dragondarch time by 1 minute & 25 seconds
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow GBA
Thats sad. Thats ironic its happen me too always my best attempts. Its important change DVD disc often, old disc can did this often. Also my old DVD recorded make this often. But hell yeah you can did this again because you are superb.
I am sure 4:55 is possible if you run like TAS used flagpole glitch and etc... hard stuffs. But there is no any persons who can did this. I guess andrewg can did 4:59 run, but its have to be played totally perfect on console condition. I think lower than 4:59 never happen.
I´ll hope see deathless run in SDA if you can. One death here is not are bad.
Last year i joking about this: Can anyone beat game low-% on hard? I just joking because i thinking thats impossible by human. Now i see one death run it was truly cool. You make very last boss look so easy maybe you was just truly lucky or you was just so good. What ever this run was really great and you make it look much easier what it is.
This run was truly sick.
I´ll hope see run with this game in SDA. Good luck and keep going.:)
I find game quite difficult to beat and yeah that was extreme magfest challenge beat last level less than 2 deaths. Yeah last level seems very difficult.
This is quite good NES game. Keep going.
Its seems quite good playthrough. I think you could make it faster. Do you have any videos?
Hi There is one deathless speedrun
Thats look everythings went well. I can,t wait see it.
Awesome.:)
I think its very close perfect limit into game. I just pointed out 5-8 minor mistake entire run and these ones cost maybe 1-3 seconds per each mistake. This run was truly great, i think even TAS can,t be much better.
I watched your any-% run. I liked much your previous one too but this new one look super awesome.
We´ll hope
Thats really cool because he beat it in marathon and i think he have to beat it his 1st attempt. I wonder if he didn,t submit it.
Mike new run was super awesome.
There is PAL new WR SS run 52 minutes by gigantobehemot89 and he didn´t was even happy enought at it. Also NTSC is faster and easier vesion speedrun so you have to target sub 50 minutes run and for sure you are accept then. Thats not are easy task got accetbale Super Metroid run.
For sure 1:00 SS is rejected. You have to make it at least under 52 minutes if you played on NTSC version.
Do you are see new TAS run? IIRC there was some new tricks like Yoshis wings in yoshis island 3. Im not have any idea how impossible TAS tricks are.
Nicovideo run was 10:53. Im not think you can drop time 10 seconds on console condition without new tricks used. Though im not sure about timerules in nicovideo. But as far as i can tell runner did nearly perfect run.
Good luck.:)
If you mean improve my death run by one minute thats migt be simply awesome. I estimate 20-30 seconds off is very possible but anything else might be way too hard.  My death run was tight with only few errors and wrong intentions. Taking less rations and used card menu faster might be key beat this run.
1 minute off my deathless run is surely very possible. IIRC old TAS run was 30 & half minutes used deathless route. Also rations skip didn´t was founded then.
Damn. Cool see someone wanted run that game.
Good luck your run.:)
No dying run might be really interesting. Thats take me nearly hundreds dying beat this game first time. Deathless run might be just important because game haved infinite amount continues and everybody can beat this game his 1st sitting.
I am played that game through my emulator.
BTW do you can did Dracula 1st phase damage glitch constantly? This save a lot important seconds, but i find it extremely random.
Current Castlevania run is one my personal favorite run entire site. Its just extremely tight. Thats might be cool see better run
Damn thats look you got beat current run into site and you still keep that your progress. I can,t wait see your final product.
I can,t wait see next one.
This is your best segment ever. keep it up.
What ot hell. Nobody are comment your new segment.
I was verifer number 3 and thats cool see your run was accepted.:D
Congrats your run Zyre.
Yeah this run was terrible slow.
I´ll hope see more runs for you.
Congrats again Spidey this is Metroid ZM run of the year and it is really awesome. Somereason i guess correct you was author this run because nobody else can,t run Metroid ZM well like this.
I was verifer number four.
I really like Metroids runners. Metroid series games take much more skills than many other games. Nes games are mostly easy learn to play for speed. but mastered metroids games will take years or so.
But hell yeah Spidey widey is best MZM player ever, Biospark is best Fusion player ever and Behemoth89 is best Super Metroid player ever and Zoid is best Prime player ever. These guys haved extreme skills and extreme fast speed. This might are taking several years non stop playing reaching stanard like this.
I mean a lot avarage speed. There is a lot skilful players, but nobody can,t run fast like Spidey Widey did ZM 100% run. My own estimate perfect time on normal mode 100% run are 54:40 this look Spidey haved fast enought avarage speed got 52 minutes on normal run. I mean he got a lot time saves little things like nobody else can,t got fast Tourian escape. My own best is 30 sec remain and yeah i can,t make it any faster even i perfected it. Spidey speed is enought make 3 seconds faster escape than many others.
Maybe i have to ate my words later. But i´ll think these records will be up in SDA next 10 years or so.
I think you can,t beat these record only 3-4 months practice. Its will take much longer. You have to keep speedrun motivation up several years.
For sure you not really mastered any metroid games. Also i am expert Metroid gmes player but i can,t beat any world record run. These master guys are played games several years. IIRC Biospark started run Fusion several years ago before he did sub 50 minutes run. Also Spidey Widey mastered Metroid ZM. IIRC he got beat game 28:04 couple years before first SDA submission.
Also Biospark did awesome 1% SS Metroid Fusion run? Did anyone else here beat game sub 50 minutes only? But he did it 1% and single segment. I think nobody else here can,t beat this run thats just impossible by many.
I mean: Right now nobody can,t beat current Metroid runs. But always new metroid masters are coming. For example Behemot89 is new Super Metroid player and he is currently best SM player what i know and yeah i say he is better than Hotarubi. Im not think anyone can beat his runs very soon, its will take years or so find better Super Metroid players.
You guys understand me little wrong.
Echoes stanard is much less good than other Metroid series games. But yeah miles haved skills but this game is nearly full amount wall crawls and its not requires real skills IMO.
And im not even try wall crawl because wall crawling is retared. Luckily its not are possible 2d metroids.
Yeah its taking skills. But absolutely there is no sense make it in speedruns. I just lost all motivations about MP 2 runs because wall crawl is allowed.
I also plan make some recorded speedruns in future, but i am quite rusty right now.
1:11 is great time Baron Dante. Good luck sub hour. BTW i did some fun boss stuffs in youtube look out here:
I am really bad with double core-X hits.
Double core-X is insanely difficult with stronger missiles. Used regular missiles its quite easy to managed. I never managed it succesfully with ice or diffusion missiles. Biospark is just fucking PRO
How about Metroid Fusion or Zero mission? There is no way cheated these games.
Yeah but these not are allowed to make in speedruns and for sure all these glitches are considering seperate category. Also Super Metroid 7% completion is not are humanly possible as far as i can tell. Otherwise there is no sense used these tricks in speedruns.
Metroid 1 (skipping bombs used door glitch) Metroid 2 (like you said select glitch or what ever) Super Metroid (X-ray warp climping) Metoid Fusion NONE Metroid ZM NONE Metroid Prime series (Infinite speedbug & secret worlds)
SJF is not are OOB i specify next tricks OOB
CHEERS Master-88
I lost my Jackal WR run you still can find archive and youtube link below.
Also Joe & Mac WR run is added.
New main page update. I updated new youtube links my Metal gear runs. Thanks MrIvan loading my Metal Gear runs in at one file in youtube
Good luck your run vgmr. I´ll hope you will make it.
Yes he is same guy.
BTW Great time Baron Dante. You will got sub hour soon.
I die a lot here. Somereason Yakuza and Ridley take me couple deaths to completed only. Also i cannot make Omega quick kill. I trying it 2 & half hours but im not managed make it. Thats look i am going old and i cannot firing very fast a today. Years ago i did managed Omega quick kill around 25-50% of the time now my succesrate are 0%. But yeah i am nearly 23 year old and my fingers are got slow.
Ended 0:57. Its my first completion since year 2007-2008. Yeah im not are touched game while. Time was surprisely good i did lost my best run only 5 minutes. I saved game quite often and im not caring manipulated any eye doors. First one before archanus shoot 5 beam and 2nd one before chargeX shoot whole 7 beams.  Usually i reset game but this was just test run and i allow a lot mistakes and bad luck.
I just did test run.
Cool to see you mastered this game too. I´ll hope see 47 minutes run its have to be nearly perfect.
What to hell Spidey. 48 minutes segmented? Awesome time.
Awesome idea. Vgmr runs is really hard to beat especially his any-% run. Its best of really lucky with final boss.
Damn good. keep going you will beat it your next run.
Mostly it look cool if you did your choices quickly enought.
Castlevania GBA & DS games required used a lot pausing.
You are welcomed to try that yourself, if you don,t was happy it. I am reading several your posts and thats look you never are happy enought other players runs. Seriously im not never want you verifer my own speedruns, because you are so impertinent. You might find mistakes even andrewg sub 5 minutes SMB run.
Why you are so negative person? Yeah everybody know you can save some frames, even TAS can,t make everythings perfectly. I think Heidman mean about perfect is near perfect.
I think 100% category might be more fun to play because you not need real luck manipulations here.  Let see can someone make it.
Otherwise im not have any complains about run. This run was really tight. I think one minute off could be possible with better luck in map (runner get some unlucky hits with hammer bros) & hands world 8. Execution run itself seems nearly perfect at all.
Thast can,t be much faster IMO. Its just best of the luck if you might redo it. Getting hit with two hand levels was biggest time lost i see, but its just pure luck. Thats look runner forget take hammer suit world 6 mushroom house because he did a long back track back take this. Strategy kill last boss used hammer suit was news to me. Damn you was close lost it before boss.
Great run.
Wait do you did beat 100% PAL 48 minutes?
Do you might try make 100% SS again? Its might easy get lower than 52 minutes now ;).
Hopefully you will submit this in SDA too and don,t forget submit your low-% SS run.
Damn man. You might submit this run. I can,t wait see it in youtube
Did you work low-% or any-% run? Thats look you work on low-% run. What ever good luck you really need it with this game.
Damn thats your deaths video was nice. I haved same troubles when i work on my PAL run year 2009. I just really rarery reach later levels and im not really care take huge risks levels 6, 7 & 8.
Run is over 2 minutes faster and still rejected. There might are most ass hole verifers ever. Its unfair reject faster run. 2 & half hour lenght game surely includes some ugly mistakes thats nearly impossible avoid. This game is not are short like SMB.:-\
WTF
Congrartulations man. Let see can you keep this record your own or take Mike back his WR. Right now i think even Mike can,t beat this very soon.
I was verifer number one.
I can,t wait see this one. Congrats.:)
I´ll wait  see your run. Hope you can make it again.
Awesome. This piss me off you didn´t recorded it. Why?
WTF you did it.
Also someone else can try improve it who might find this easy. But for me this sounds truly good time. Congrats Jumpman. I´ll hope you got accept this run. You are making great job.
You can improve it later if you want. I agree 2 hours long game is impossible perfected. There is no way make it look like TAS.
8 minutes improvement over packattack run have to be accepted. Especially if runner did it without taking any deaths.
Good luck your submission.
That was so long time when i play that game last time. I am watched Votava run twice, but its just long time ago. Where you did beat Votava run so much? IIRC Votava run was deathless category and its make it much slower one.
That was great run man. I just watched it.
But anyway if you can make it real time its simply awesome. This vid was nice this look truly hard. All looks easy with TAS.
IIRC this was used new TAS run?
But its just super hard. You have to make it first attempt your speedrun and rest you make entire game done quickly. But i will hope someone will really handled this.
Its best are fast, but hell yeah this seems quite interesting game speedrun.  Good luck
I think TAS route might be just best.
When i watch arctic run back i think this run could be faster more than couple seconds. Let see can Arctic eagle take back his world record.
Congrats. 23 hours recorded attempts and only couple seconds faster run seems really hard job.:)
BTW congrats your run. I never was believe this game could be done deathless low-% hard mode.
Did you have youtube channel or lower quality video?
I am trying two days dowloading this, but my internet are way too shit load over 400 mb videos. Its like on/off like every 5 minutes and normally its take hours load long video like this.
Whatever congrats you beat my time. Did you make it on real console? This seems just awesome time.
My time was 27:54 used stopwatch timing. SDA timing runs used DVD timing somereason its add some extra seconds my final time.
Torizo skip save around 20-30 seconds time. NTSC version are faster one elsewhere. I think 0:44 on NTSC version equal 0:48 PAL time. Yeah this behemoh run was just superb. Also PAL version is elsewhere a lot harder to speedrun. Door transitions requires better timings and etc....
Also its super hard on PAL version. Requires just totally perfect timings.
Yeah Torizo skip is impossible on NTSC without toolassist.
I can,t wait see your final products. You are make good progress here.
I never was believe under 27 minutes is even possible.  Did you plan submit your run in SDA? If you mean submit i´ll hope you try make deathless one too, this is even easier take down and there is no much sense keep it up anymore.
Damn. Great time.
BTW Did you have any recorded material by yourself? Are you making any casual speedruns already?
Otherwise im not pick up many mistakes entire run. Yeah frezy run is near perfect as far as i can tell its just best are very good.
Some tips where you can beat frezyman: Base 1 boss could be faster Water wall boss could be done with one round. Its just best got perfect spread rhythm and fire like crazy Base 2 boss also could be better
But damn. Good luck your run, i agree base levels are most pain ass ones with perfect speedrun because frezy firing like crazy. Other game is just luck and memory.
Thats look frezy is totally burn out speedrunning.
Is frezy dead? Im not are see him log in SDA very long time.
I can,t wait see this especially you make it single segment.
Huh 32 minute PAL. WTF
But if you really try redo this its might just superb. Good luck.
This run was also damn fast and without deaths done. What ever you want make this run i really loved it.
Without doubt this will be accepted.  I´ll list this of best speedruns ever created. Couple year ago i just joking: Could low-% hard mode done without continue lost what ever time its would be just crazy.
I agree DK28. You can try redo that later and submit this one. I can,t say anything else. THIS RUN LOOK LIKE SO DAMN FUCKING GREAT.
I seriously wonder you mean improve it. I´ll also wish you buy better DVD recorder when you will attempt 31 minutes. Its might just piss off if your DVD fail your run when you finally got 31 minutes.
I yesterday watch it. This run was just fucking sick. Your luck with Phantoon was something like mad. I think chance make great phantoon encounter like this are around 1/10
My favorite part was levels 3 & 8. These levels look super sick cool.
Yeah this run was really superb. I can,t say anything else. Runner was super skilful and lucky and take huge risk.
Did you are working other ones runs into game?
Congratulations
Good luck your run.
BTW my run was glitchless done like SDA run
This is actually quite sloppy run. I just test new ideas here. But all luck manipulations make game super annoying to speedrun. I think 32.xx is surely possible. Its might be possible go for sub 30 minutes. My clear time was 34:47. I pick up some unnecessary souls and items.. But for sure there is a lot good ideas about route and run is worth watching.
I actually did beat SDA run already.
Did you are plan try 100% run in this game? There is three more level IIRC.
I agree nice run. Just some very minor mistakes its just quite close TAS limit into game.
I pick up only one single mistake entire game which cost more than 10 seconds. Other mistakes seems really minor. Thats quite good because game has 2 & half hour lenght "real time". I enjoy a lot with this run.
Awesome run. Its maybe best MP 2 run entire site.
I´ll wish luck your run. You will make it but its can take a lot time.
I agree sinister. Also my Bionic commando run take me hundreds attempts and couple months to beat. This still could be a lot better than i did.  IIRC Heidrage spend so long working on his Super-C run longer than any other runners ever.
WTF Thats might be april fools.
Congrats MR Styger. This might be nice run hope you will let this run in SDA. Also i´ll hope you back and make more runs in future.
I can,t understand why SDA banned one most talented old shcool games speedrunner.
There are many more "ass hole" persons too but these didn´t are banned because these are really good runners.
But he is good runner. What ever is  he ass hole or not. BTW i personally like Josh person because he is friendly guy.
Im not have complains about run. Hundreds crazy trick are done succesfully here. Thats one best speedruns ever done.
Awesome run i finally watched it.
Congrats your run.
Last verifer being truly big ass hole.
But BTW i might watch this run when its come out. I think its not are bad as what last verifer make it sounds.
Also Wak run is 4 year old. Current strategies might be better. Let see can someone improve this even more. Maybe last verifer might be give his own shot make super optimize 100% Alttp run. Thats might be awesome.
Last verifers comments was really rude at all. He might are really good speedrunner or just he wanted are asshole and make personal attacks against WAK.
Low-% runs seems super difficult to beat only. Its might interested see this run. Your time seems aweome.
Hi Sinister. Did you have any video done about your low runs?
Thanks Sinister. Yes i want see your progress before final product will be done.
That was great run Siniter. I can,t wait see your final product.
BTW this death your run don,t look bad but thats might even cooler if you can avoid it and make run done fast as this without making deaths. But final time is still most important i think SDA dont, care is there one intention death or not. Thats will be same category.
For example Frezyman Contra run includes death at end (when last boss die). Also previous Super C low-% run obsoleted Ray cullen deathless run even it had one accident death.
I think deathless is not are seperate category if deaths don,t save time.
Also Zoid did beat PAL version 1:07 and his SS run was done in 1:12. Both are available in youtube. Did Zoid submit his run in SDA? SS run is big improvement over Stefan van dijike SS run.
Is Ridley fly phase skip impossible on PAL version? I never see it done on PAL. If you could make it its save around 20 seconds time. Also 4 pool Prime 2nd form is possible (see Zoid 1:07 run) Thats save another 20 seconds. If Ridley fly phase skip is possible thats might drop time 1:07 to 1:06. I think thats started are real limit on PAL version.
Congrats Pirate109 that was great run.
Damn Flip. Damn Zoid.>:(
It seems there is no way make 1:06 run because Ridley fly skip doens´t work depend how high 1:07 you are.
Its look Ridley fly phase skip doesn´t work on PAL version of the game. As far as Zoid explain it his comment he never are get working it on PAL. Also Pirate didn´t make it. Did anyone know how high 1:07 you are?. Zoid said his final time was estimate 1:07:59. So this pirate109 run is at least as fast as Zoid run or even faster.
Here i find these Zoid runs in archive org
Nice run. That look almost well played like TAS. Congrats.
That one was just fucking cool. Nice job. Votava ancient run is still up here did you plan redo it too?
Damn. I can,t wait see your final product. Did you really can beat frezy? That look you really can.
Andrew are making nice progress. I am little sad you going die with Tryclydes and ruin your awesome run attempt:(. Thats not fun. Keep going, i´ll know you will make your goal time. 8:45 might just awesome final time. I think its are quite close your SMB run then.
Q: Cak Did you have any video about your best run? Youtube or somewhere else?. Its might awesome run without any glitch used. But i never are see it.
Any news yours progress Heidrage? I really liked your run, thats looks base 1 & energy zone ruin your run attempt beat frezy, otherwise you was faster elsewhere. Why hell you not take barrier in energyzone. That was most stupid intention ever.
Yeah Base levels are reason why i can,t go game sub 11 minutes. My personal best are 11:38. I really suck bases.
I´ll hope. Current 101% run in the site was horrible slow even it was segmented there was really big errors. Its absolutely not SDA stanard anymore.
Its look frezy reach you when he take this barrier. You lost time when you need wait these flames. IMO taking barrier look faster method. Maybe i am wrong but at least frezy reach you here.
But congrats about beating frezy awesome SDA run. Its definitely not easy task. You are currently only one who i are making it. Really nice job, i´ll watch this video later.
Frezyman unrecorded best time are 10:16 too. He never submited it because improvement was very minor. I´ll hope you keep going. I think good final goal might be between 10:10-10:12. And if everythings goes right its might be even sub 10:10.
I see some cautions this look frezy was faster in levels. I think skipping this barrier level 6 are really bad choice IMO. You have to waiting way too much these flames. But congrats to beating frezy awesome run. This look sub 10 minutes time is console possible less cautions and with better luck. But hell yeah this run was very well done and these boss fights look like super quickly done.
Damn great run. I loved your boss fights, these are done really well especially base bosses and boss in waterwall. You really crush frezy run there.
This is fastest one.
Why Exo don´t submit his WR run?
I´ll hope see deathless run. This game actually very easy to beat because there is infinite amount continue like lot Ikari Warrior 3 & Guerilla War. I think making good speedrun is tough. Good luck with this.
One shit 8 bit game.
IIRC i did die hundreds time when i beat game once. But infinite amount continues make game so easy to beat only.
Mostly i mean accident deaths. This game is really hard to beat without any dying.
Frezy current record 11:34. Thats easy for you.
Go for low-% run next.
Any news your progress Andrew do you working on this anymore? I see you got sub 9 minutes run, but you can make lower time if you want.
Thats more interesting because we can also see your videos here somereason TG don´t even shows any videos about runs. TG is ancient WR site.
Make your run in SDA. There you not need thinking is trick banned or not.
Keep going dxtr. Thats your run was simply awesome. I see you want make it even better. I wish luck with this progress.
Great progress here. Awesome Ninja Gaiden 2 run Sinister. Thats quite close Hotarubi run. I think this is worth submission because its look Hotarubi & Liger didn´t submit own runs.
Great run. Congrats.
Is this same run than your previous withdraw submission?
Congrats Feasel i´ll watch this run. I hate this game too, but i am played it and iam really proud your progress. Yeah this game are suck ass. Feasel rock.:)
Is Mike first verifer. He said last time: He never verifer this game again.
Good luck. I might looking your progress.
I think if you single segmented you might try reach 52-59 minutes run its started are SDA stanard IMO.
I think good 9% SS run would be sub hour. I got segmented 9% 41:35 & my recorded run in youtube are 43:19. A lot manipulation refill luck.
Thats seems interesting. I never got beat this category without saving game.
Thats so awesome time. I think its surely worth SDA stanard. 48 might just awesome SS goal i think definitely accepted submission. That all manipulation refill luck you can,t make on console. I think Segmented run definitely could be barely sub 40 minutes today. But single segment 10 minutes slower not are bad. I think peoples will enjoy this. Good luck your attempts, but i´ll hope to see 9% SS run into site.
But yeah this was good run. I think 46 minutes could be possible.
I think you can watch my segmented run in youtube (see link upper) There is some good strategys for example Acid worm fight without varia suit.
If you want make SDA speedrun you need use GBA player & DVD recorder. Thats make it possible.
Okay is this run done on emulator? Thats quality look like weird. Im not liked it.
Some bad intention: 1: Varia suit you not really need it. really bad timelost 2: Before Kraid you might try fill your energys. Kraid will drop easier missile drops if you have full energys before fight.
Okay i just watched it. I loved it. Really good run, i see how nerves you was in Mecha Ridley.
Quality will be better when you use DVD recorder & GBA player.
I´ll hope you watch my segmented run. There is some really good strategys. Its might help you a lot.
You definitely can make run without taking varia. You need make sure you don,t take hits with Metroids because these kills you instantly. See my Mother Brain fight segment my run. This is much easier strategy beat her without taking any damage, its also quite fast if you refill luck are well enought.
See my segment 7. How i got refills before Kraid. I also used that damage boosts side hopper rooms.
First page updated my personal best NTSC run. Take me one week to completed. I also updated all new WR runs.
But i can personally skip varia suit so easily. You will got varia suit when you beat chozo boss. Thats never my trouble. Varia suit is really easy skip, you need little practice and thats it. You have to learn this. Only hard parts are these Metroids. Its instant death if you got hit.
Yeah i think MB strategy not are good on segmented run, because its slower. Somereason its make my personal fights faster. I use that my OWN SS run too but this run got died in Tourian escape because my hand shaking too much. I cannot wall jump anymore. Yeah i can seriously feel your pain here. 9% SS is hell as hard.
Good luck. Its not that hard.
Easy mode runs not are because its similar as normal mode. Normal 9% is very different than hard 9 or 10% run.
I think all normal mode runs are accepted category.
I personally think 9% normal segmented sub 40 minutes (definitely accept time) 9% SS normal 46-48 minutes (definitely accept time)
Thats also look current 100% hard mode segmented run beat Dragondarch normal mode SS 100% run and both runs are accepted into site and seperate category, even this normal mode run is slower one than hard mode.
Im not are admin but i am 99.9% sure normal 9% runs are accepted category segmented & single segment.
As far as i know. I am got beat both low-% runs. 9% normal mode is very different than 10% hard mode. Im not know why we talking about this. 9% normal SS is definitely accetable category if you play it well enought and make better quality your run. I warning don,t take varia suit next time. I might reject your run only with this reason.
PAL version only allow beat game 9% items on hard mode, but its impossible on NTSC version. Also we talking about single segment run. Hard mode low-% SS is way too crazy category single segmented.
But yeah on normal mode you not need pick up this SM pack. Thats 9% is lowest possible.
Let see have i the strenght even watched this when run are public.
Congrats thats huge improvement over previous run. LAst run into site seems quite crap because its segmented and its full amount major mistakes.
I never are played over 3 & half hour in at one go. Thats make my all reflex lost. I can,t even imagine what will happen over 7 hours speedrun. I think those mistakes are just human. I see some verifers nerver are played over 7 hours in at one go because he wanted reject this.
7 hours SS. Thats real marathon.
New casual record. NTSC hard mode. 100%.
Awesome run Arcus. I see sub 12 minutes is possible. Thats requires just perfect gameplay.
Congrats new record.
IIRC this Exo run was played on emulator. Thats might reason with this. There is less lags on emulator than console.
Otherwise great job your 100% run. I think this jump through hammers not are real trouble for you because you are make it several times your warp runs.
Why not through Bowser hammers Andrew?  Thats slowdowns looks like really ugly.
I´ll hope see its your next attempt.
Yeah i understand. Thats happen.
And ETC::::
Okay my english suck i mean for example like this: 4:58:77 4:58:70
Seconds time rules no are accurate enought IMO.
BTW can SDA change time rules SMB runs? I think one seconds improvement is way too hard to make. Hundreds will be are allowed too. Andrews are beat his SMB run couple times faster than current SDA run.
This current SMB run look like perfect everywhere like two previous runs too. Its long way to reach these 70-80 hundreds off with this. IIRC this current SDA run was 4:58.9x.
I totally agree this.
Awesome time dxtr. I wonder if Josh can beat this. There is nearly nothing mistakes.
Damn this look like TAS.
I see no death run. Thats simply awesome job. Keep going, this run was definitely SDA stanard IMO. At least this was awesome runthrough.
As far as i can tell this game is freaking hard to beat only. Its only GB Castlevania i got never beat. I pass level 1 but these freaking jumps before boss caused me really much headache.
Awesome run.
What is final time for this run? I think sub 14 minutes.
Only real shortcut are medusa head jump level 2. Its save a lot time and its not possible in 1st loop because this room not includes any medusaheads. Maybe this category is fine but only GBA classic version IMO. Because there is level select IIRC.
And 2nd loop are quite silmilar as 1st loop. Stages 4,5 & 6 are identical same as 1st loop. There is more enemies and damage hurt 1, 2 & 3 levels.
I think i´ll more Metroid Prime runs in future. Mostly NTSC version. I think i could also improve my PAL version PB run (1h19) Thats really old run and my skills are increased quite bit with this.  But right now my main progress are 100% ntsc run. its really worth watching. I am keeping my segments quite close with Zoid SDA run. Though my avarage speed is not are good enought yet. So i am 3 minutes behind Zoid SDA run right now.
I am little dissappoint because my videos doesn´t got even views like couple years ago. Thats look peoples don,t know i speedrun or nobody care it.
Estimate goal time is 1:35 but hopefully i can go lower.
Metroid Prime NTSC 100% speedrun is current progress. 13 segments are completed
Hello guys. Thats couple years im not speedruns any games. But i am back now.
What happen 11:26? I can,t open that upper link. Im not have right programs with this.
But what happen? I see your avatar something really bad happen?
Yeah i mean this attachment.
But cool see you are got nearly as fast as run.
I see. Damn. How you could are so carefree?
100% single segment 1h 42
100% segmented 1h 32
Speedruns Metroid Prime NTSC
This was really awesome run. Last level went so fucking well includes everyelse levels too. 4-1 seems most runkiller level entire game. I see you ruin maybe most good attempts here. Congrats dxtr. This was super great speedrun. Go for submit it.
Okay this seems game are got nearly limit like Ninja Gaiden & Contra. Just nothing big ways improvement anymore.
I am glad to see this your live attempt yesterday. I see how much job you make. You was really consisten got sub 10:30. Final time sub 10:20 surprised my so much because first i thinking limit for you is somewhere 10:21.
I think this could be seperate category. Its just any-% with reset. But yeah this seems faster route. This runner can got maybe sub 8 minutes all star version used that level select route.
Yep. This seems this working only SM allstar version. Runner used stage select after warping 4-1. He simply reset game and stage select 3-1.
Yeah you have to be submit this in SDA. Can we see this run before publish submission?
Next i might start any-% pure speedrun or 22% hard mode "runthrough"
Metroid Prime low-% 22% items 1h 32
And low-% (no power ups with deaths) 17.20
This run is several years to old. I still have video. Its done on real NES.
My time was something 11:38
Thats will never happen on speedruns. Im not sure is it TAS possible
BTW: What will happen current frigate escape record into site when this run got public? Thats look pretty noob if actual escape record into site is slower than escape in single segment run.
Skip 1 is not that hard and its very begin of the game and not too frustrating to reset game here. Im make skip 1 & 5 only. These are maybe two easiest into game. And yeah skip 1 is very important on speedruns but luckily its very first one.
+Armor power and health power is both useful here. There is lot enemies. I used armor power with begin but i think its better with end. +Use arrow power (buy level 4 shop) against demon dog (mini boss) you can,t use it with last boss. +Last boss is pain ass. There is not much better strategy make it.  Just keep you rhythm and try you best.
Level 5 speedrun plans
+Shop visit. Buy arrow power but not use it here. This boss is fast to kill with grenades.
Level 4 speedrun plans
+Wing power is useful here. Let see you can skip all walls. +Shop is pointless here because there is no arrow power item +I used arrow power with boss but if you are used it level 2 boss you not have it then simply used grenades with boss.
Level 3 speedrun plans
+Pick up (arrow power, wing power & lifepower) +Not need shop visit here) +About boss you can kill it used arrow power but then you not own arrow power level 3 anymore. But i personally think its faster kill level 3 boss without arrow power)
Level 2 speedrun plans
+Boomerang (i think you could take lvl 2 if you not want manipulated it galago tunnel) +Grenade lvl 2 +Arrow power kill boss instantly (buy it in shop)
Level 1 speedrun plans
Im did some plans:
Im not own that game yet, just emulator practice. I might try buy it in ebay later.
Game not have any speedrun record and not any TAS runs.
I have to look out ebay can i find working cart. Then my next trouble will be how i can recorded runs in SDA without DVD recorder.  My old DVD recorded got broken some years ago. Im not have working recorded system. Though i have openbroadcast software (i did recorded Metroid Prime runs) but its not are SDA stanard quality.
Its pretty crap run just pure test run, i just wanted test my route planning. I did tons mistakes. Some nerves mistakes and etc memory stuff.  This is also my first completion without continue code. Im not know how much i want put effort emulator run.  I think i have to pick up this game my NES and try some serious run. 12:30 is definitely very possible. Sub 12 might be possible.
I did first run in 13:15
EDIT: Quality test is up tech support comments here.
Its long time ago when i recorded games in SDA (my previous runs here are played 2009-2010 IIRC) Then i used DVD recorder. But rightnow im not have working DVD recorder. I still have easycap & openbroadcast system. This make me possible recorder cube & wii games casually. Let see can i solved recorded trouble. Im not have any idea what i´ll need make good quality NES game videos without working DVD system.  I know SDA is really nitpicking with qualitys.
I just bought this game cart in ebay.  Hopefully its working cart.
IS this good or need i change some resolution or other stuff? Answers please.
Easycap recorded system
Thanks:) I´ll post better quality test later when i got game i plan try run (ikari warriors 2). I personally never encode runs myself Nate will always did it. But this look my recorded system at least work rightnow and IMO quality is good but no idea is it SDA stanard.
Okay look like messy.
But like i already say. There is nothing information with this game. No tas videos, no other speedruns. Those  all speedrun plans i did is my own. So there might be better routes and etc.. then time will be lower than what i thinking. But current strategys and routes could aim "good run" somewhere 11:50-12:15 range. My 13:15 was totally crap but route planning working very well and awesome rng with galago tunnels.
About galago tunnels (red room end of the level) im not have ideas how these RNG working. I think its like a lot SMB 3 hands. There is 50% change per each tunnel (weapons or enemys). Then this is more rare avoid all tunnels than SMB 3 hands. I was really lucky my test run and i avoid all. But its most important avoid last tunnel, because its probably hardest room entire game. Its nearly always kill instantly or drain nearly all energys.
But yeah then  i started practice and this game seems very beatable. I did test run my emulator 13:15. Now i wait when i pick up this cart my NES (i bought it yesterday). If quality and other recorded things are okay i´ll try good run in SDA.  I´ll hope sub 12 minutes run.
Themexicanrunner (speedrunlive) give me all this motivation play that game. Its his list top 30 hardest nes games into world. I trying play that game some years ago my emulator but i never pass first level and game seems just totally crap im not wanted put anymore effort with this then. When i see mexicanrunner did his playthrough but he not beat this game thats give me all motivation try beat one hardest game ever.
I once got rejected run because video quality was too bad in SDA stanard. Im not want this happen again especially if i got awesome run. This new system is just very new for me.
I actually know how this quality test working. Me and my brother did some test years ago. Youtube is not correct place but i think archive org is because you can load videos for yourself. I think its what ever NES game quality is same with these setting i used.
Okay. Thats okay.
Its might save some time especially long cutscenes before boss fight.  Last boss itself is not that long. Right now this seems very luck based use any serious speedruns. But i think if i can consistent that its could be nice time saver.
One single pixel timing. I failed it twice my video so you can see it is hard.
I see its working, but its really hard (requires flash power up)
And yeah i bought game in last week in ebay. Im not have pick up it yet.  But i think my strategy planning is totally ready rightnow. My new strategys seems very good i did several different test and i think those new routes i did is fastest possible.
EDIT: About glitch skip last boss. I did several different test. There is absolutely no way make it safety walking. Screen have to be scroll all time. So this trick have to be done without stopping. Just walk straight and push item button right same times as cutscenes appear. One single pixel timing. I think if i learn use that 25% of the time its could be very good succesrate in speedrun. succesrate like 10% if fucking bad because this game is not easy and there is tons random things here and there.
Comments and questions are welcomed
This level is damn hard all my new strategys +Got wing power and used it. Its faster than walking Boss: Demon dog Use armor power and rush him Boss: Zada Use flash one pixel timing and kill him. Okay this is really important and at least its worth try it. Its also really hard one. I can make it around 10-20% of the time.
Level 5 plans
Okay some news here +Got armor power (need level 5 boss) +Got energy power +Skip shop visit (its save around 10 seconds time) Boss: Kill it used grenades. Believe me its faster than buy arrow power in shop. About armor power its doesn´t caused damage with boss only grenades caused and arrow power too.
Level 4 plans
Pretty similar as last time. +Use wing power +Got energy power Boss: Kill use arrow power (you got it level 2)
Level 3 plans
Level 2 plans +Got wing power +Got flash power (use it last boss) +Got energy power +Got arrow power Boss: Use armor power and rush it you got it level 1
+Pretty similar as last time. +Got boomerang (lvl 1 is enought) +Got grenade level 2 +Buy arrow power +Got armor power Boss: kill with one arrow
Level 1 new plans
New plans is done. I think this game could be even under 11:30. New boss strategys used armor power rushing is cool.  And those new ID level videos is much cooler looking than previous ones.
Im interested to know who is author with this run? Feasel?
But thats might be cool see accetable run with this game.  That game might have some hard trouble got verifers. Its not very popular game (like you can see this topic) even it is very good NES game and one best games ever by dataeast. I think im ready to verifer it if game have some serious trouble find verifers.
Cool see this game is finally up in verification by someone. I did some serious research some years ago (huh thats look 4 years ago i touch this game last time). Somereason im not never pick up this game my console. Then i thinking this probably not accetable game in SDA because its includes mostly scrolling and several autoscroll parts. But SDA rules are changed a lot in 4 years. For example Prime secret wolrds not was accepted then.
BUMB 4 years old topic. But good reason with this.
Thanks Ktwo. This time saver is huge.
EDIT: Level 1 new (without shop visit
About level 2. Yeah its little bit faster. Good point. Im not have idea is diagonal walking slower but its not seems much slower/faster.
Thanks your comment. Level 1 WTF fuck 2 armor power up??. Im not never are find this 2nd one LOL. Yeah thats really important time saver shop visit easily take 20 seconds. I´ll go for check out this next.
Did you are test how RNG in galago tunnels (red room) end of the levels working?  I can,t understand this. I personally think its depend your points??
Okay i think its very good idea pick up boomerang and energy both begin of the each level. Machine gun make this way too hard at least for me. Maybe TAS guys can make this.
Okay thats nice. BTW my first completion without that code was 13:15. Its totally crap speedrun, but im not want put anymore effort try beat it my emulator (computer keyboard controlls truly suck). I´ll wait my cart my NES i´ll be try serious speedrun my Nes. Rightnow this seems i have to be go 11:30. its surely possible. I think sub 11 is possible but then run have to be really good one.
Last boss flash method only is really hard luck base.  Its might be cool looking in speedrun i know i´ll dying it often because it was quite hard even with savestates.
I totally agree your ideas. Avoid select as long as possible save a lot time in game, but its make it incredible luck based too. I think TAS could pass entire game without taking boomerang and without taking energys. its could be super nice on console but im not believe its never happen.
Nice. Yeah i should try those. Im not think these are my trouble in savestate run, but i can.t consistent that flying parts without taking damage.  So making real speedrun make game so luck based without energy taken.  Yeah its around 10 seconds time saver skip both menus. Especially level 5 is so pain.
This one is so fucking hard. Im pretty sure im didn,t going try that my single segment speedrun. Maybe use it in future runs if i can consistent everythings well enought. Its important avoid losting anymore damage more than two. Otherwise its make really hard pass all three first levels without energy power. Yeah and pea shooter is truly crap weapon and horrible game controlls didn´t  make that any easier. But yeah its possible and its possible without taking any damage too, but requires insane amount good luck. Its not happen my video but this plan look optimize well i wanted.
EDIT: Level 1 pea shooter route plan
Last boss skip is still hard but my succesrate are went quite bit. Rightnow i can make it around 33% of the time. I roughly know where this flash have to be used. But its still insane precise.
Rightnow im just practice galago tunnels. 1 is quite easy and 2 is easiest. 3 tunnel caused sometimes hard. 4 is pure luck.
Level 3 energy power skip is actually quite easy. even without full energys. I think i could use that my speedrun later. Level 5 selection skip is HARD AS HELL. I can,t make that even used savestate. I´ll always die or lost tons energys. Pea shooter is simply horrible weapon.
Level 3 speedrun v3 used ktwo method
Level 2 speedrun v3. Around 10 seconds faster. Magic mirror skip at end thats avoid me dodge that mirror without going water. Nothing much news
Im not have pick up game yet even i bought it nearly two weeks ago. I´ll hope my cart coming soon. But yeah more practice and planning.
Im not believe its working like this. Yesterday i got 3/4 galago tunnels my test playthrough. IMO its seems totally random is there galagos or not.
BTW nice movement test ktwo
But fact is im not going make all those pea shooter runs my next single segments runs. Maybe in future runs i might add some very hard time savers depend how consistent i am. This took me 30 minutes beat level 2 only with this strategy. So its not easy.
First two part is easy, but latest part is hell. I did horrible looking boss fight (this is only boss where this hit box is so weird i never had trouble beat level 1 & 5 bosses) but its still faster than previous video with boomerang. Flying butterflys at end is truly hard i usually lost at least 3 energy bar.
Level 2 pea shooter run is here (no damage taken)
Yeah but those enemys bullets is main trouble. Those fly so quick and its trouble. Im not sure is that all luck required but i can,t consistent dodge those bullets. If i stand wrong place its surely take hit. Slow gaming controlls didn´t allow your dodge those bullets.
I did starting little bit different than ktwo video that not requires any stop and i surprised i was quite consistent with this around 50/50%. Flying part is really nasty one. This game like lag like crazy here and i cannot see any bullets. just pure luck survive.
Level 5 new plan v3 (no damage taken)
Thats started are something like crazy. I really enjoy with this your live. Awesome i nearly feel your pain here. Thats first time i see really good buffy fight. This fighgt seems really random.
Congrats stingerPA you new WR 2:14.
If you guys wanted see full 100% japan version runthrough its done here.
About Area 15 yellow translator. This is cool trick take it and its pretty hard too i wanted make checkpoint before this because i usually die often but im not was need it this time.
Yes this is played on emulator. But this is done real time and without cheats. BTW im not sure register that game taking machine gun area 18. I clearly take it probably my emulator lag too much or probably i AB reset way too quickly but its not matter because this is more run through guide not real speedrun.
I called that game hard mode bionic commando. Okay this run is just pure runthrough and take me only few reset (this video includes one reset with begin but not care it. Actual run started after 30 seconds). So its not optimize and contains one death some bad flaws especially horrible albatross fight. I still surprised i lost only little bit over 3 minutes my SDA console run.
Japanesse version Bionic commando includes same level desings but there is more enemies and tons other differences.
Something like fun and nobody already make that. This take me only few tries and its look im first who show full game in youtube. Thezeth have any-% run though.
Game simply doesn´t register it even you got it and even you go away with level. No fucking idea why not. I try several different test but i can,t save that item. Im really confused. Thats look JPN version can,t be done "100%" items. No trouble with other items.
LOL thats look you can,t got machine gun weapon JPN version of the game
EDIT: LOL i have to say this is one best Nes games ever. When i started play that first time i really hate this game. This game seems piece of shit. But rightnow i want play that game over and over and enjoy every seconds. I love music into game. BTW there is one cool remix i find in youtube
This time really surprised for me and i miss last boss quick kill too. I think my SDA console goal could be sub 10 minutes. Im not want make too good run on emulator but my previous 13:15 was simply horrible and iwanted redo it. But yeah this 10:35 was pretty good run especially awesome galago tunnels. But yeah sub 10 minutes is easily possible. I´ll aim that my goal my SDA submission. Probably sub 10 is too easy goal 9:40 seems like god. If i can throw all harder speedtrick level 1 & 2 mean skipping selections and have totally perfect luck with galago tunnels its insanely difficult but definitely theory possible make run like 8:59-9:10 range. But seriously i have to be really bored then. Run like 9:40-9:50 will be definitely worth submission.
i bought this cart fucking three weeks ago but im not still pick up this yet. Why ebay why?. I was bored and drunk i did last test run on emulator with few resets
Im not have any idea about quality things.
-I used easycap recorded system -Open broadcast software -Real NES NTSC console
Here is sample
Im not going encode my run myself. But IMO sample video look like good enough.
Resolution is 748/550 FPS 29,97
Can anyone look my sample and say something if im wrong. My most setthings is like default setting
I just changded resolution 720/480. This look probably little bit better than my default resolution already.
IMO this look like good enought im not sure about SDA.
Yes i can here is new sample used those resolution settings
When quality test is done i´ll look how much i can lower that time. I think 9.10 started are very good run and sub 9 is definitely possible but maybe requires some harder selection skips.
Now i have to just wait can i beat SDA quality test. I post some samples in tech support.
Finally managed last boss quick flash method used. Its take me several resets. That was still not my best run i have some bad luck galago tunnels and losting too much energy before level 5 thats requires me use energy item which cost extra selection.
First speedrun used real NES 9:20
So i´ll hope Nate or someone else who know will look out this and tell me.
Okay i´ll stay wait answer with this. Im not personally understand nothing those bitrates and etc... Too weird for me. I just wanted know can i continue speedrun and is quality settings is acctable enought. If i got good run im not want its go for rejeceted only with this reason if something bitrate are little bit too wrong.
Openbroadcast software
Im not hear any audio troubles myself. Im not understand what you mean. I watched my video through and sounds and voice effects seems like normal IMO. I think those minor audio troubles could be fixed after encoding too.
My plannings is pretty much done rightnow. Only try consistent some things which caused me serious troubles. I´ll try look some minor things, but when quality things are fine i´ll make full attempts all time and let see how much my time will drop.
I think i´ll try aim sub 9 minutes run before SDA submission.  I think i can pretty easily drop at least 10 seconds off my 9:20. We let see. Im not really see any bad gameplay errors my 9:20 run expect i could avoid some select screens and make some very minor things better here and there. Especially avoid all alternate select screens includes levels 1, 2 & 5 could save something like 22-25 seconds. But its requires good rng luck and some mad skills avoid those ones in one run.
9:20 is my first "very good" full run my real Nes. Now i´ll wait proper answers my recorded quality settings. Nate not are comment that yet so im not are going try "perfect" run before quality things are good enought in SDA.
Im not understand nothing about settings. This resoltuion setting seems are correct. About audio there is only two possible codec (MP 3 & AAC) This MP 3 is totally crap so i use AAC. Heidrage pick up some audio trouble but im not hear that myself. Bitrates are greek to me. Just tell me what i have to changes if you guys know better. This look Nate rarery visited here and he is only who can tell me 100% proper answer.
Current openbroacast software settings are Quality balance =8 max bitrate kb/s =1000 Sound package= AAC codec & btirate 128 resolution= 720x480 FPS= 30
Okay yesterday i send PM to Nate and ask with this. He not are answer yet.
Yeah i agree this. But i hate wait simple answers for days because i can,t personally make nothing else than wait it. I wonder why there is only one single moderator entire SDA who know much enought with encoding. Yeah i agree its really hard job because there is hundreds games/players and hundreds questions. And after 6 days i have to be create new sample video.
buzz/hum noices its could depend my game or telvision too? Thats still seems very nitpicking, im not even notice it before you tell me it.  Probably reason with this is NES is very old console its could be pretty normal Nes games voices. Im not sure though.
IIRC Virtualdub is AVI edited program you can,t recorded videos used it. Thats reason why im not use it. Openbroadcast is only free program i can recorder rightnow.
Im just trying hearing that voice. Im not thing this depend audio codec. Its seems like my TV like keep this weird noice.  That seems very minor thing IMO. I mostly can hear this in title screen only.
Look pretty similar as 2nd sample IMO.
Okay thrid sample with 10000 bitrates. I increased bitrates 1000 to 10000. Quality balance is still 8. 10 is max. Sound package settings is same as upper FPS is 30 need i changed that?
Okay thanks Nate. I think my settings is correct rightnow and i can started speedrun attempts with these settings used.
But we let see can i redo that run. I´ll at least try it. But if this not happen i´ll submit this one.
So i might add every fucking hardest tricks and try run game under 8:50. Let see if this happen, but rightnow i have at least very good run which rush my goals with good marginal. I think lowest possible console time seems like something 8:40 range.
Selection skips went much better than anyother runs.  I use pea shooter through level 2 but im not going make it level 1.  It was way too hard this time and level 1 is really hard to beat pea gun without losting much damage. I just set goal sub 9 minutes and i wanted make it.
I might post video later if anyone interested see this run. This run is definitely SDA submission worthy at least with gameplay is awesome. I used recorded settings and its look Nate accepted those he encode and say quality is good. There is nothing major errors but some minor errors and better lag controlls could drop more time.
8:56
Damn sub 9 minutes. Take me 2 hours beat my previous record.
You can usually dodge this first bullet tunnel of the galagos three when you keep dpad right b button down when you enter the room. But its doesn´t always work like you can see this video. I have same fucking trouble flying part level 5. I find savespot fly this part without losting damage but sometimes its doesn´t work. probably TAS guys could tell better but its look there is two differents bullets encounters. Fast bullets & slow bullets and its luck and you can,t controll it on console. Usually this game is not very random enemys located same spots but bullet rain is sometimes really weird. I can,t personally controll that. There is several spots especially level 4 & 5 and galago tunnels where i lost random damage with bullets even i know what im doing.
About RNG with this game. Sometimes those bullets is random i have very good example video which really proof game randomness sometimes IMO
8:56 is here. I think nobody like really watch runs with game, but i´ll still public this even previous run has only 5 viewers in youtube. This game doesn´t seems very popular.
I think im done now. Includes select skip level 1 too. This fucking take me 3 & half hours and 5 attempt die with Zada quick kill. its really shitty trick end of the run.
8:46
Long play: Play game through collect everythings and try find everythings. Deaths and all flaws is allowed. Only goal is beat game and find everythings. Playthrough: Try play game deathless and not need worry about time, but your gameplaying have to beat fluent but its have to be cautions too and you have to make most safety strategys beat to game without losting damage much. Runthrough: Usually casual speedruns. Just try run game through game without wasting tons time, but you not need are optimize Speedrun: Just like SDA stanard. You have to be good and make run with very good stanard. Some human mistakes happen and etc... Run like TAS: Mostly SMB 1 by Andrew. I think Miles is new Prime run could be this category. You have to be really close perfect possible time.
I´ll did this for fun
Its pretty good run only spending little bit over 2 hours playing. Robot in MU was great, but not perfect though. Bermuda was pretty ugly level. 10:20 seems at least possible.
I did pure casual speedrun NTSC emulator in 10:39
I see Frezyman are did 11:40 on PAL. Its pretty old run and current best SDA run
Is anyone trying Duck Tales 2 NES bad ending run?
WTF: That damn sick time :o. This will crash frezy easymode PAL run so easily. Thats might be interesting see if you did another NTSC "bad ending run" stanard like this. Recorded next time please.
Cool. Im always think this pogo double hits with egypt boss is possible because TAS used it. Im not remember i make this even once, even i practice it quite bit. So its at least fucking precise, i can believe your pain here at least after Robot boss.
Its 3 years time i last time posted runs in SDA. Then i simply send author comment PM to mike and video to Nate and then my submission was done waiting verifications. This new systems seem very complicated.
Which is this new upload program? Where i can find this program? Im confused.
Nate respond me
What is my next step? Im not actually are posted video yet. This submission form allow only post author comment and run informations, but nothing else. Will i got more information later?
I see its pending submission. What its mean? My run comments and informations is up here i see. I accidentally post same things twice.
Yeah thats look im making everythings correctly i have to just waiting PM.
Okay. Thanks.:)
And thanks your game choose. Its always cool to watch some rare NES games runs. This game is so fucking rare, its seems a lot Ikari warriors games, nobody watch and nobody play. Usually me and ktwo make this verification with rare Nes games.
LOL this run look like TAS. And congrats about accepted, its probably not surprise you because this run was super tight.
Awesome run Murphgator. BTW i was verifer number one its not surprise because my fun english.
But okay i think i´ll started go some other games runs and practice (need we some other rare Nes games up in SDA). So 8:46 is my final time its improve 10 seconds my public run in youtube.
My run is coming verification soon, i´ll hope i can got enought verifers. My run includes some waste steps (those biggest errors my run) I might try back this run in future. I know i can somethings like 10 seconds off my time in theory. Its might be max human limit.
Okay guys. I decide submit 8:46. Im not public run yet, but as far as i can tell this run is so fucking tight. Level 1 selection skip save me 5 seconds and other 5 seconds coming with better gameplay.
I´ll look your progress.
Im not have experience about speedrun that game. Its one my childhood game i play that quite bit then. This mostly look making good run you have to avoid losting too much energy then you not need fill energys way too often. I know its requires a lot skills.
Nice first run man.
I pick up couple things which could be useful speedruns: *Blue form is most useful with most bosses. Also blue charge hit is pretty effective because its make multiple hits with certain enemies. *You can transform with Dragon form only if you have enought magic *Dragon form seems slow you in levels (walking is faster but a lot harder though) There is some really hard enemies especially level 5 which requires you use to dragon. *Dragon form is really important time saver with boss fights. Usually every boss could be done with one dragon form changes, its will requires at least half metter your magic. You can get magic point only way is kill enemys without used charge shots.
Okay this game have at least really good music like a lot Shadow of the Ninja. There is only 3 continues entire game so one death and its gameover. So run have to be deathless. Im not are practice that a lot yet, but i did some boss test
One cool NES game which is always interested me. Im not know can i ever make any accetable speedrun with that game.  Cobra Command and Dragon fighter is two pretty good NES games which are interested me, but im always think way too hard make speedrun.
This show how hard this game is speedrun.
You can scroll screen faster when you enter the dragon form and fly as much right screen as you can and then quickly back human form. Its seems really hard perform that consistent and you have to keep your eyes with magic metter all time. You need 50% your magic remain then you can transform. First level is definitely easiest level to practice this. Other four levels are much harder and longer.
BTW I did practice level 1 test run. I test TAS idea with consisntent screen scrollings. Im really bad with this yet. But with extremely good memorize this trick could be used pretty well even console runs.
Its fucking insane. Its look TAS like use green dragon form entire game. Its might be interesting if level 4 boss one round kill could work on real time, im not believe that, at least its doesn´t are possible with blue form used.
Oh i see there is TAS run too. I just watched this.
Current WR in SDA is fucking tight, but 5-1 was very cautions. So this run is very improvelable run.  My own PB includes much better 5-1 begin than SDA run. Good luck working on this. Sub 12 might be somethings like magic.
Cool man. Im alway love see run with this game. My PB is still 13:35 im not trying redo that after this. I have to time things faster. Is level 1-3 faster got bomb or not? Boss is a lot faster with bombs. 1 round seems way too hard with humkan kills without bombs.
Good luck with sub 12:50. You are making nice progress here.
12:57 look really good run. Its beatable but its look still really well played.
Usually Contra series carts are pretty expensive IMO like something 20-30 US dollars.  Some cheap Nes games prices is something like 5 US dollars. For example i bought Ikari warriors 2 cart less than 4 dollars.
Yeah incredible expensive. Just look ebay and its look price is something like avarage 90-100 US dollars. There is nothing reason bought expensive NES cart like this. Probably this game could be nice game to run with emulator and casual. Yeah i agree why SDA page not own that game. Im not never are hear expensive game like this.
But yeah this my no damage runthrough is worth watching too. I did this just for fun and my drunk entertaiment. But yeah this look i really mastered that game. I can,t find anymore challenges here.
I´ll hope my submited run "8:46" will take enought verifers in future.
I might try interested try redo my 8:46 submited run later, but this look game has real trouble find enought verifers and nobody else than Ktwo are interested. But yeah this game is quite fun to play, so i might back this game later.
I still like play that game. I did beat super challenge. See no damage playthrough. Its not real speedrun, but just perfect guide beat game without taking any single hits. Final time was 10:47. My intention was beat game without any single glitches. So thats not includes last boss skip. Its totally damage free playthrough and includes pretty good speed too. I am really glad i beat this. Its take me something like 2 hours. Always some bad luck with galagos and some hits happen and mean resets.
LOL my 8:46 still wait verifers.
But yeah thats might be nice if someone who have this cart like run this game.
Thats cool. You are actually got this cart pretty cheap price what it usually is. I yesterday accidentally mention US dollars, but i see my computer changed everythings with euros so avarage price with this game is 90-100€ and equal around 110-120 US dollars. But what ever its really expensive game cart. Even Nes game Over horizon is cheaper than this which is really rare cart too.
But finally SDA has first HOD run and i´ll really glad to see this. Awesome job charleon.
I like play GBA castlevanias. My brother "emperor91" have COTM WR runs in SDA. I personally beat Dragondarch AOS SDA run nearly by 2 minutes (no glitches and hard mode) Its still suck ass run so im not submited it, but all this rng luck not give me motivation redo this. Its incredible frustrating spend 5 hours with each drop and make good segmnt after this.
I´ll wait see this run.
I know Spidey you are awesome runner but 0% SS? You mean 1%????
WHAT? Did you joke around? 0% SS could this be even true?
Come on guys. Go for verifer my best run. I know game is rare its look my youtube too something like 10 views my videos.
I usually verifer rare NES games runs. But i can,t verifer my own run.
Why this game has really trouble find verifers? If you not have this game you can load it your emulator and play it through with savestate or use ABBA code. I think then you can know how this game working and verifer my run. 3 weeks is coming and then not enought verifers. Im not know how long this will take. One rare run in SDA take 2 years find verifers.
This look new category is up. Only this segmented time is awesome, but SS WTF??? Biospark spend at least 5 years with this. You make this your single attempt and make good run after this. i can,t even feel your nerves here.
Okat i´ll believe you. Even im not know why. I can,t even imagine make  this trick.
But if i´ll learn play this game better i might give my own shot make run. I just have to practice a lot.
Probably this game could possible make some speedruns in future. But requires tons practice on emulator. Deaths is allowed and some deaths will save a lot time too.
EDIT: LOL this game seems beatable on console too. I just test and reach level 4 with full continues and my first try, but i lost all lifes and continues here. Level 4 is easily most difficult level entire game so if you can pass this level you can pass level 5 & 6 too. Thanks god i find savespot level 4 boss room. But i still have real troubles with homing missiles. Those are impossible dodge
But yeah this is one game i´ll hope someone make run sooner or later. I am actually interested play this game myself too, but why i suck this game? But i´ll probably try find and recorded some good strategys tips in future and i´ll post videos if i can find something nice. Let we see can this game are even beatable with accetable speed.
DK28 seems are interested with this game 2009. Its 4 long years and im not see any speedruns or good playthroughs with this game. I can really imagine why peoples not like speedrun this game because this difficulty is very high. Even game is overal pretty good and cheap. Not cost many dollars in ebay. IIRC i got it less than 4 dollars.
Today i decide i finally want play this game through. I have to use emulator and several savestates and yeah i finally beat the game. This take me nearly two fucking hours even with savestates, especially level 4 was so pain ass level ever. I think i´ll really glad if i can somedays beat this game my real console. I am pretty sure making any accetable speedrun will never happen for me. This game is just BRUTUAL DIFFICULT and its has pretty much lenght.
I am own this cart some years but im never are pass longer than level 3. This game is definitely one hardest games ever created for NES. For example ghost and goblins a lot easier game than this IMO.
This game is still my TOP 5 request games to see.
Level 1 is hard level, but other 5 levels are tons harder. Especially level 4.
But LOL i did level 1 Sumatra test run for fun this is not optimize, but just wanted show some ideas about speedrunning this game. Im not very familar with controlls yet, but im just learn much better what i was. This scrolling mechanic is so weird, about overworld you can use backward flying all times, but in underground you have to scroll screen front of enought this make possible make hits with your bullets breakable walls. Its difficult explain.
Yeah this controlls mechanics is one which will take most practice.
Hi guy. Thats cool. In next week i think i have time make some more research with this game and i have to look can i find some useful stuffs. I´ll hope see your progress too, its probably help me too.
Level 6 Headquarter
Level 5 Siam
Level 4 China sea (this level nearly drive me crazy luckly i find some accetable and nice things
Some levels speedrun practice and plans. Level 3 Borneo
Here is some research, im not really know will i speedrun that game someday. This game is simply infuriating, i might break my NES controlls if i start seriously working this. Especially i use fastest possible engines my videos its make controlls so horrible. Also this target hitbox is weirdest ever.
I think level 8 is faster on JPN version. This staff power beam metter seems little bit shorter on JPN version, its make boss fights little bit faster IMO.
I can imagine good casual run *Use fastes possible engines most of the time *Avoid make most time wasting deaths *Use intention deaths *Use backward flying as much as you can.
I can imagine good speedrun *Use fastest possible engines all time *Avoid making unintention deaths *Use intention deaths (my ID table 3 to 6 is good example with intention deaths spots especially level 4 last time saving death i accidentally find it) *Use backward flying as much as you can
Using hyper engine all time make you crash so easily, especially last boss is insanely difficult with hyper engines and also many underground areas too.
Its playthrough run but without losting any continues. I estimate 27 minutes. I think good speedrun could be low 20 minutes probably even under 20 minutes.  Beating this game what ever time is great job with human skills. I think i might drop my time in future i think i can pretty easily aim 22-23 minutes if i can avoid most stupid errors, add some intention deaths and avoid changes engines in underground areas, its make game harder though but very possible as you can see my ID levels up.
Yesterday i finally first time beat this game my real NES system.
Level 2 Java speedrun. That was actually quite good one. Some pretty tight strategys surprise me.
Missile damage randomness glitch. Usually you are allowed take some random damage, but sometimes homing missile can kill you instant hit
More research Weird enemy depot warp glitch. I accidentally find it yesterday my ID table. Thats take me quite while make this again. Nothing idea how this happen. See last attempt this video or watch my level 4 speedrun where i accidentally make this.
Level 1 is still very easy level for me rightnow. Also level 2 is quite easy. Level 4 seems are harder than other 5 levels total. Even i am practice level 4 more than other levels and i still can only consisten die here. LOL
Most timesaver trick was explode those building with new system. New way is easier and also much faster.
I pick up twin missiles here, but i am pretty sure this is very easy skip even casual speedruns. As long as i got firebomb i use it not need twin missiles. Its could just help and save little amount time begin level 2. Skipping twin missiles save around 10-15 seconds. But then you got one more less extra life, its mostly make game harder because every extra lifes is importants, you need use several intention deaths and and unintentions deaths so easily happen.
EDIT: level 1 Sumatra new speedrun with all depots (3:30) (much better looking than old one but i got twin missile depot this time)
I´ll try help you much i can. I´ll continued search some tips,stuffs and strategys and probably try make some personal best speedruns in future too. I´ll hope i can aim at least 21-22 minutes run in future. This look if i can play all things well i did my ID stuffs this game could be easily under 20 minutes.
Cool DK28 and im glad my gameplaying inspiring you play that game.
Tell your opinions guys.
-Cobra Command NES level 4 south china sea. This game is only very hard but this level look like harder than other levels total. Even practice that a lot, its still seems 90% luck to beat this. -Ninja gaiden NES 6-2, first time this level was pain ass, but when you beat it once its not that hard, still many people count it one hardest levels -Ghost & Goblins NES level 6. If you not know where you can find hidden armor this level probably drive your crazy. Yeah its still hard, first time i spend 3 hours to beat it. Luckily tons gameovers is allowed. -Lifefroce NES level 3. Okay this is not my opinion, but yeah i agree this difficulty, several peoples say this is counted one hardest levels ever created. Yeah this level is just 100% memorize and its pretty easy when you learn it and have good enought weapons. But yeah its probably take me more practice than other levels. -Astyanax level 4-1. Okay this level seems harder than other levels total. Every difficulty is here. Otherwise pretty easy game. 5-1 is little hard though, but 4-1 is super hard. -Star Wars NES last level. Its damn hard, nothing else can,t say. Its 3x harder than other levels total, its incredible long, this level is probably reason why SDA not own run, its not expensive game and this game is actually pretty good.
I think NES is best choice hardest levels in history. And this topic is making for fun and everrybody is allowed say his opinions. Someone can say SMB 3 pipe land fortress part two, this level was torture when i was kid but yeah im not count it here because this level is still easier than most what im playing.
Go under albatross part is super hard. IIRC first time i spend good 3-5 hours beat this fucking level.
Thats cool you mention this game, im not actually played it, even i am played nearly every NES games. This probably give me motivation try this one too. ' I forget Mention Bionic Commando GB last level. This level is intense and incredible long, some years ago i did fun video how to beat this level
Yeah awesome time man. Nothing else can,t say.
Okay TMR next go bought this cart your NES and start SDA attempts, its time to go sub 10:10 next goal.
About good stuffs my 22:35 run -I used fastest possible engines entire game expect last boss. This fight is just totally insane with hyper engine used. -Im not used menu too much. -I use all possible intention deaths saving time expect level 4 glitch which is virtually impossible make consistent. -This look i really know what i was doing here. My planning working quite well i wanted. My gameplay overal look pretty solid, its little bit cautions with hardest places though.
Let see will i post video. This show some good strategys. I´ll definitely try improve this one. At least this beat my playthrough time by multiple minutes. I definitely could make 20 minutes run just with little bit better luck. Under 20 minutes might requires some damn great executions and avoid some horrible deaths what i did here. But for sure under 20 minutes is very possible time to reach.
Absolutely horrible. 4 unintention deaths. -Level 3 just noob thanks horrible controlls and weak hit box. -Level 4 this was very minor one cost only few seconds -Level 5 boss room. Not my fault, but fucking game bug doestn, register hits with boss. This death cost huge amount time its definitely my biggest error my run ( i count i lost 1 minutes and 10 seconds) Other deaths not are huge like this. -Level 6 boss room. This boss is really hard one its nice i die only once, sometimes its just take multiple deaths and i can,t consistent that even my emu practice.
I did beat game in 22:35.
I did first speedrun my console.
Next i have to look some new plans. I know under 19 minutes is definitely possible time to reach. But well this run was quite good one through very hard game.
A lot better run and definitely worth watching. Finally sub 20 minutes which beat my orginal goal. only one unintention death, but that not cost much time (probably something like 10 seconds because i did it very begin after checkpoint
19.42
New speedrun
If my new plans and strategys working well i wanted i can definitely go for sub 19 minutes. Probably even in 18:30.
Level 1: Skipping twin missiles. I believe im not need take it. its make level 2 begin little bit slower and harder but nothing else. I think skipping is still faster Level 2: Nothing news. Skipping armor might be useful on TAS but its make game way too hard for me. Level 3: Nothing much new i think Level 4: Okay not much new plans. Death warp glitch save time but just 100% luck. Also i have to check out couple minor things Level 5: I have couple great ideas. I think its could be useful change fire bomb or mines and use that until last boss end of the level 6 is reached. There just change homing missile 2 back and hyper engine to normal engine. LAst boss is nearly suicide with hyper engines. Also probably 3 way and hyper armor could be skipped but its will requires some no damage begin and its very risky way. Level 6: I have to test make mines or firebomb this level faster. Its might make some targets destroyed faster. Last boss: I trying find way use agressive strategy, but its doesn´t seems working in any theory. This way i used my run look like best possible.
Next i have to back emulator grind and look out some things and plans which could save time.
Thanks. Yeah this game is rough but luckily my consistent are went much better.
Damn last boss i hate you. I might aim sub 18 minutes run next. Its requires just better gameplay and avoid this horrible death what i did with last fight. I use hyper engine method and its make last boss really hard. This fuck still piss me of only two hit remain and my time was hittiing 18:09-18:10 range.
Video is here
I might go for under 18 minutes or i got deathless run i probably will are done then. Otherwise my 18:21 run was simply awesome run new plans drop my time whole 1:20. I probably will post video later.
I did die last boss damn. Its cost roughly 12-13 seconds.
18:21
Okay new time
Its not that hard i managed it easily. I think this will drop my current time little bit. I think i might aim under 18 minutes and i´ll submit. Current time is 18:21.
Level 5 boss quick kill
I think any less menu screen is not console possible. Level 4 with peagun is definitely way too hard on console.
Its seems bad rng with galagos 3 was most biggest single error but its not my fault and level 1 could be few seconds faster, but its very painful level with peagun. Other erros seems just like single steps and etc...
This game is fun and i might be interested redo my time somewhere in future. But i was thinking this run went nearly perfect and im not pick up any better plans and strategys. So this run went 99% well i wanted. I think 10 seconds off might be really hard but probably possible.
Thanks verifers. Cool see my run is accepted.
This look runner "who care" this run. I know Miles working that so long, several months he spend time drop time 0:59 to 0:58. 0:58 to to 0:57 was really hard & long way. Finally 0:57 to 0:56. But why runner doensn´t care make any comments? I can´t understand this. Writing comment definitely take less time than this run. I´ll hope see this comment too.
Pretty sad to see there is not any comments about run.  This is probably best run entire SDA, but runner don`t take the time write any words.
This game is really fun to play casually, but its might just hell as hard make any serious speedruns. Especially all levels run is super random, thanks last level. This make SMB 3 hands looks very consistent. I count you need 20 random diamonds drops here. I think each drops is around 33-50% probably even less.
I just spend 2 days route practice and lazy 5 attempts my run. Last level is fucking stupid. You can pick up only something like 60 diamonds but you need RNG drops other 40. This take me something like 5 minutes extra time for me, good rng might make it a lot faster.. Even you suck ass elsewhere good RNG here save more time than anything others mistakes.
I did casual "noob" run Wizard Warrior with all levels
But well this beat my previous run something like 15 seconds. Im happy i beat my 4 year old record. I think i might aim under 11 minutes somedays. But yeah i think its long way yet.
I mostly suck base levels. I was something like 40 seconds behind TMR after the levels. I also suck level 7 first i used WR route but i always die over and over so i decide go my old/safety route my run. I think i have to practice level 7 my emulator, because this look i can,t handled that level.
Here my New best time 11:24 deathless run. Take me little bit over one hour beat my previous ancient record
TMR also give me motivation back play that game after 4 year breaks. Huh that was long break. My skills was only little bit rusty. I got my skills back quite soon and beat my old run and i also beat first SDA run 11:25.
Congrats TMR your record.
Ikari Warriors 2 is awesome game  & Ikari Warriors 3 is pretty good game too.
This game lag very much, its also have very horrible musics. This is definitely most horrible game i ever played. I am pretty sure nobody can beat game without this code.
This game is insanely difficult and shit. I can,t beat game even used ABBA & stage select code. My playthrough end boss of the level 3, no idea how pass this.
My personal most horrible game i bought (very cheap price) Ikari Warriors.
Its still not 4:57?
Awesome run.
I am probably stupid but what hell is frame rule? Is this random thing?
Its might be awesome see console speedrun with this. This TAS video is worth watching, especially last level skip is very huge time saver trick, im not sure is it console possible, but i think it is because most TAS tricks are.
Hi good luck with this. My experience is i am played this game through couple times. Super nasty controlls make game hell to speedrun, but otherwise its fun and cool looking game IMO.
I´ll wish better luck next time. I know you can make it.
This is so hearthbreaker. Joe did most awesome attempt ever (20 seconds ahead hanage run). End of the level B (just before Slogra enter) he goes falling down and thats it. This mistake was just really dumb. I think he throw his controlls to wall after this. This mistake was really sad. Probably most sad i ever see my life. His run goes nearly perfected. I know Joe can got 33:20 time if attempts like this will happen again.
But hell yeah this run was really sick and really lucky. I have to say congrats. I´ll wish you luck go for better and better time, its just work seconds by seconds.
This look you was something like 8-10 seconds behind your all around best sub times (failed run) when you enter level A. But you make incredible great job in levels A & B. Still failed mummy 1 cycle and some decent luck with Dracula. Hanage seems have really quick Dracula fight.
Sick run Joe. Nice to hear you still keep that your progress, i always enjoy watch streams with this game. I can see with incredible RNG you could aim under 33:10 probably even under 33 minutes in future.
I´ll hope this will help you
Unfortunately this speed can not be maintained and he drops back to normal as soon as this trick is stopped. Also, the speed address is signed, so 127 is the maximum speed he can attain, so it has to be reset before this else he will wrap to -127 and fly backwards.
Ice Glitch This trick works only in Level 3 (The ice stage). As part of the algorithm to make the level "slippery", Fred's max speed oscillates on a 4-frame pattern: 20, 23, 26, 29, etc. If Fred fires a special weapon (Up + B) on the last frame of the pattern, the pattern is reset. This results in it ramping up from 29: 29, 32, 35, 38. Again, if Fred attempts to throw a special weapon it will reset again. This can be abused for unlimited speed. Note that this works even if Fred simply attempts to throw, he doesn't actually have to throw one.
Did you read TAS page its explain some glitches
EDIT:
I´ll wish you luck running this. I´ll also hope, there will be more peoples who will respected you progress.
Yeah this look game is not are very popular with speedrunners. But if you go for submit it in SDA i can at least verifer it and i think its will be find some others guys too. This game is not that bad and its also quite cheap game. Yeah its look speedrunners not like run cavenman games.
Nice time seems you lost only 2 minutes TAS run, its awesome time.  I´ll watch it soon.
BTW Which difference are JPN version? This look its a lot faster one. Is there more weak bosses or faster base levels?
I think you could submit your 10:05 in SDA now. Its pretty big improvement over heidman run. And this is definitely not too easy to beat that time.
Awesome run TMR. Its nearly mistake free run. Its look here is still very few room possible improve that time. Let see can you push 10:02-10:03 next. Its might requires next 1000-2000 attempts push that time down.
I´ll hope behemot will back 100% run with NTSC version. I think he will make some really magic (44-45 minutes ingame time) With new tricks i think 44 NTSC is not that harder than 48 minutes PAL.
Thats really cool see this game has some really good players. For example Zoast & Behemot. Those guys really mastered this game. I think Behemot 100% SDA run is still all around fastest run ever created. This equal some 45 minutes (ingame) NTSC version. Nobody can´t beat it.
I still have major trouble make super quick charge. My consistent are really low with this. There is some super/hyper quick charge like maridia mainstreet missile (speedtrick) i can´t make it even once.
Don´t be worry elpis. This is game you can´t mastered it if you not are talented guy. I beat this game first time when i was 10 year old. I start speedrun that game 2006 (i was 17 years then) Rightnow i am nearly 26 year old guy. My speedruns still truly suck even i am practice like crazy (43 minutes segmented & 44 minutes SS) ingame time. I play that game a lot then.
BTW this is very interesting watch your progress. I´ll wish much luck beat my time. I think its not that trouble with new strategys.
Im not sure did you know. But i find way make 100% run one less enemy truck used than my SDA run. I did this find after i did my 26:57 SDA run. This will save some 18-20 seconds time. Its easy way save time over my run. Its piss me off little bit because i did really good run and i find easy time saver after this.
I am actually watched your streams with this game. I am really glad your Albatross quick kill.. This look very awesome. Its might be cool see this your run.
WTF. You got this warp Area 8 boss room? I always got it beging Area 1. I agree if you can got this Area 12 its will save tons time. But i think then this have to be seperate category.
Those changes happen 7-8-9-8 and until then moved area 10.
IIRC new route was 14-6-8-9-17-9-14-6-8-7-18-7-8-9-8-10.
Im not 100% sure how my new route went. IIRC its pretty similar than my SDA route but hit one less truck. My SDA run i got this hit enemy truck after Area 10. This could be avoid if you moving right.
Did you go submit this one? Or keep you going improve it? IIRC you did this your few attempts i think you can keep trying fix some mistakes and make even faster time. But what ever you are doing your run. You really crush my run.
I have to say congrats you beat my probably my all around hardest & best SDA run. I spend 3 months my own progress. This seems you did this very much less effort. Expect Area 2 & 9 your run was really good one. A lot really hard grapllings managed here.
About spikey pit jump Area 10 save something like 7-8 seconds.  Its also really nasty trick. I understand you didn´t go use it. Its instant kill trick. IMO its still easier pull than cliff skip area 7.
Area 12 was SUPERB. Cool see those elvator skips on console runs and new albatross strategy which look really nasty one. Awesome job Area 7 cliff skip too even you miss it twice. Its definitely one most hardest trick what i ever know (Its usually take me something like 100 attempts, i never imagine anybody can use that in speedruns). I think its not very practical if you dying it even once, but its very cool looking one.
That was cool to see how much TAS tricks work on console. Area 7 boss room is very new trick cool see you make it console run.
Awesome job PJ. That was nice its take you only couple attempts to make good run like this.
I start watch your streams end of the december. You working Sypha then. I just laugh you never can reach that world record because you really have some troubles make stanard good run. But thats nice you was really patience and practice a lot. I watch Josh 28:55 run and that was near perfect in my eyes. Beat this time by 30 seconds is fucking mad. Congrats
LOL: How many cigarettes this run take?
Okay yeah that was Japan game run. Sorry my dumb.
But i think those rules are changes after 2010. Some examples: Battletoads level 3 warp and Bionic commando area 8 wrong warp is allowed obsoleted current run.
SDA rules are sometimes weird. For example my Iron Sword run is seperate category even i didn´t used game breaking glitch. But used some time saver glitches.
Yeah i agree you can go for under 23 with better albatross fight only sub 22:30 might be something like crazy cool stuffs. Keep going you can make it.
Awesome looking run expect really shit albatross fight. This new truck route was really nice one. I never believe 0 truck can be possible.
Undine freeze working also very well against Buffy & Darklich. Its nearly as effect as lumina IMO. Undine freeze is quick magic and its really useful against most bosses if levels are high enought. I just always kill those bosses used undine freeze only with my casual gaming. Though my levels are 6-7. 4-5 could be enought one and at least worth trying.
Aegagropilon could be done undine freeze only. If you are fast enought you have find time kill him before he use wall. I just look stingerPA live game he lost a lot time with this boss. I personally always use undine against him my casual play and no trouble kill him with this way. I think its could be worth try it in speedrun too.
One little tip 1p 1 controlls runs?
BTW im not never are speedrunning this game. Just beat game several times casual playing. I am really glad if i find some really useful things. I love watch your streams.
That also pretty ironic i use undine freeze strategy my first playthough several years ago. My magic levels was much higher than speedrunners. But yeah that look this is good way in future runs too. Undine freeze is also most useful magic i just mostly use that magic most bosses into game.
I see someone submit Contra run but somereason withdraw it. Are you going submit your 10:02 DK28 or keep you trying improve it? I think 10:02 is definitely worth submit even then if you keep redo it.
Thats crazy because TMR 10:05 was nearly unbeatable. Now we know sub 10 will be happen sooner or later if peoples will keep trying like this. Its might requires nearly SMB stanard run and its might take month, years but at least its theory possible with human hands.
Wow DK28 that really cool to see 10:02.
Now we know 23 minutes will happen sooner or later. Its might be something like really brutal cool looking speedrun. Its will be nearly 10 minutes faster than SDA run.
I think someone are really welcomed submit new 100% run, current 100% run into site is really, really sloppy. I wonder how it pass even verification. But 2008 stanard was very different then.
I see yesterday you got awesome 100% WR run. 24:12 SRL time rules. Horrible luck with dark queen fight again.
Congrats TMR. Any-% run was really brutal. I really wonder anyone can beat JC awesome run. Jc run was really mistake free.
Its like a lot SM64 there is 0 star run & 16 star run and both are seperate category in mainpage. Both are "low%". category.
I think 21% & 22% could be seperate category because those runs are very differents and like you said 21% is really insane make any serious good looking run which are worth submission.
Wizard warrior 1 WR is up in SDA. Bablo is still only who are running this game.  I did all levels casual/horrible run in 30.xx. I think its not even WR. Peoples not like run this game very much.
My Metal Gear SDA runs is not WR anymore. Somereason Dunnius never submited his awesome run. Probably he will keep trying redo it or not want submit.
WR 24:42 By Dunnius
Metal Gear NES
21% SS is mad.
Did T3 stream or recorded his runs? I never are see him in speedrunlive.
Its also fact 21% is much slower than 22%. For example smilingjack13 22% hard mode run is one my personal favorite run all time. Its extremely optimize run. Making same quality 21% hard run never will happen.
Its fact 21% run requires tons different glitches & secret worlds. 22% is totally glitcless low-% run.
Yeah this difference between 21% & 22% is pretty much same as SM64 0 star & 16 star. SM64 runs is still seperate category. 0 star run not obsoleted current 16 star run.
I like old rules. Comments was mandatory.
Its piss me off read runs where is not any comments. There is a lot awesome runs, runners are make some awesome job and spending a lot times running, but not nothing comments. Metroid Prime was pretty dissappoint and also SMB 3.
If i am verifer i´ll very nitpicking if someone mean obsoleted current 22% hard mode run. 21% take about one hour longer than 22%. Though its much harder make 21% run. But current Prime 22% hard is one all around best run entire SDA IMO. I can imagine making luck manipulation like this. Runner say its take 10 months make this. Meta Ridley segment was one my personal favorite. This luck was something like freak. I personally spend 4-5 hours attempts on normal mode 22% and still never luck like this. Hard mode fight is also much longer.
I can imagine this queue. I post my Ikari warriors 2 run august 2013 its not even up in site yet. But i´ll always add comment what ever long this run take up. Comments tell a lot and answer questions. Comments is very important IMO.
1% & 0% is pretty similar. There is probably 1 minutes difference so if you make 0% run with same quality as current 1% run into site its will be accept. 21% & 22% there is around 1h-1h 30minutes difference. Its very different. Are you ever played Metroid Prime? Go try you can see.
Runners spend around 10-12 hours running game. Writing comment take something 1-30 minutes. I write my own comment and its take around 30 minutes. Its not very big task IMO. My Ikari run comments is also pretty long.
I think you will change your mind when you go attempt under 11 minutes run. All this damn RNG stuff into game make me pretty sick. This is one top 3 most "luck" involves game run for NES imo. Two others games are Joe & Mac and Snake revenge.
Nice Rarery hear anyone run that game.
Garuda easy way in 43 seconds (this is little bit different way but this strategy is very easy and only few seconds slower) Garuda with bombs & beam using easy way in 53 seconds (used this damn lightning beam seems really slow and damn hard too)
Garuda without bombs in 38 seconds Garuda with bombs in 40 seconds
I did several video test and that look its not matter have you bombs or not. Used NTSC version. Good thing is this make 5-2 easier because you not need worry about bombs.
I did research about Garuda. This look Garuda is totally invulernable with bombs and lightning beams. You cannot simply caused anymore damage against boss.
BTW really sick run Charleon. I think i´ll try aim under 13 minutes goal and i could be happy with this (but i´ll need a lot practice with this). My 4 year old PB is 13:35 that was good time for me when i did it. Rightnow i have really hard time pass 4-2 & 5-1 any accetable speed.
Okay i want hear your opinion too. I find (no bomb) strategy faster for me. I did at least 10 different test attempt and that not change anythings. Your fight your run was done in 27 seconds (my timing) I think i could make 33-34 seconds fight without using bomb and light. But my mashing is somereason a lot slower than your. Boss like 1-4 1 round take me 10 minutes to make even once. I am really bad smasher with everysingle games.
I think in next run i´ll try skip rations before first building. I find this extremely difficult, but i did it once my console attempt and managed it also my savestate run. It s requires some tons reset in jungle and i was lazy here. I never can and have motivated enought try beat dunnius run, i think i´ll still aim my pb under 26:30 in future. Probably under 26 minutes. Rightnow i just want update my old records.
Pretty good run. I did one accident menu error and last building was pretty rough. My NES controlls like stuck quite bit here.
Couple day ago i did my own PB 26:54 (Beat my SDA run & previous PB by over 1 minutes)
Did you can say Garuda take even damage bombs and lightnings? What ever if he take damage that still really minor time difference. Casual runners not really need worry about this bombs make 5-2 harder to beat and lightning ate 50% your energy.
Good thing is i did 2-1 chains 3 round. and some pretty good levels.  But overall this run was pretty crap even my stanard, i think sub 13 is not trouble with decent luck 4-2 & 5-1. I´ll keep trying that.
This is my first completion since 2010. This run was pretty much horrible. Especially 5-1 was totally crap. I think 5-1 only i can take 20 seconds off. But i have really low energy after 4-3. Thanks crap 4-2.
New PB 13:33. (beat old by 2 seconds)
There is possible use really cool time saver 1-3. Go early elvator and skip bombs and make 1 round fight like WR runners did. I am really inconsistent with both. I am did both my emulator practice, but way too hard make on console on real speedrun. I think im not need worry about this before my time is under 13 minutes.
Sub 13 started are good goal for me and i´ll reach with this later or sooner.
BTW PB 13:25. Some reason this run look a lot better than previous record, but horrible mistake in 4-2 cost at least 7 seconds. This mean low energy 5-1 again. I started 5-1 very well but end part was cautions thanks low energy here. I was nearly 100% sure i´ll die if i use some most riskier trick like gap warp end of the level.
Okay thanks. Nice to know.
I think i´ll make some more riskier strategys next time. Its will be easily done under 13 minutes.
13:04. Damn i was close my goal. I am still very pleased my run. I got my best 1-1 to 4-1 ever. I got some most important time savers done and make my tied best garuda fight in 38 seconds.
My old SDA run was 8:54 (2nd best time ever). So i beat this 5 year old run by 9 seconds but this time i used some power ups. Mostly power ups save time level 2 boss and fortress fight.
This tell a lot how damn hard its go for under 9 minutes.
I got several runs beat and much resets run: I count times order Run 1 9:43 (first run since 2009) 2nd completion and not reset run Run 2 9:16 Run 3 9:20 Run 4 9:16 Run 5 9:07 Run 6 9:02 Run 7 8:59 Run 8 9:02 Run 9 9:21 (no reset run i was tired) Run 10: 9:02 Run 11: 9:05 Run 12 8:45
I am really proud with this run expect Huge tank and some unwanted lags (especially end of the level 6). Even Huge tank was pretty good (in 30 seconds) but very possible take 5 or more seconds off here This not was easy make this run. I spend 3 days attempts and 5-6 hours recorded. My fortress fight was simply awesome and luckiest ever my life
New PB 8:45
Verdict: Easy accept (hope this audio could be fixed though)
Im not are expert with this game. I am only played it through about three times. As far as i can tell this run is very well planned and played.
Okay yeah there is some audio troubles in swimming stage and chinesse stage. Gameplay itself is really good, near perfect in my eyes. I pick up some errors with red dragon fight, but this boss is pretty nasty one too.
I have to say congrats you Bionic commando runs too. I´ll watch you run soon as i can. I actually watch your live 100% attempts runs couple days ago. Damn albatross kill you run. But better luck next time.
This is third game which beat my old runs (my progress is beat my old nes runs times). Metal gear, Shadow of the ninja and Jackal time is beated. I think next progress is Contra sub 11 or low 11 minutes. I also bought Super C. I think its might fun make some time NTSC version too. My PAL run is still up in SDA.
Thanks PJ.
I post my Ikari warriors 2 run august 2013.. Its are taking nearly one fucking year.
This pretty weird there is up runs which are making much more later than my Ikari 2 run?
This look Super Metroid run coming much more quickly up into site. ITs not take even long. Is my run forget or something?
LOL I post my Ikari warriors 2 run nearly year ago its not still up into site. Its completed verification end of last year.
But i pass verification and run is accepted. Nobody moderatos not are send me PM or anything. Im not personally encode my run. Nate will make it. In verification this seems everythings is fine here and run is accepted.
At this point im not 100% undestand what you guys are telling me? Sorry about my english skills.
Okay thanks. But everythings is right? I have to only waiting?
But thats look everythings is fine.
Okay. Im not personally encode my runs. Nate or someone SDA mod will make it. Im not personally have skills.
Sometimes i lost life even i have all weapons remain.?? Sometimes i not lost life and weapons going out.
About Axelay SNES. This life system is weird. Sometimes you lost you life and sometimes your weapon coming out when you go to die? Is there reason why this happen? I actually beat this game a today, but cannot undestand this thing?
Thnaks.
Okay thats seems like potential.
My avarage fiht is 3 round per target. Thats too bad to break my run 11:24 i´ll reset with this.
MY awesome fight 1/100 attempts
My avaraaage very good fffight 10/100 attempts
Im workimng this game whole my week trying make whole 2 hours my runs without completion. PB is 11:24. Most run killer is level 4 boss. No idea how  this damage chart working:
I count 2 hours attempts level 4 boss mess me 90% of the time.
I.ll know    beat my Contra run will take a lot time. Sub 11 will be superb but i hate i always mess up my game level 4 boss. No fucking idea how this damage chart working.
But i´ll hope you guys watch my run and enjoy it. That not was easy task make this run.
Everybody are welcomed give shot beat my time. I might back this game in future too. Rightnow i have some other NES game "casual runs" progress. Its might be awesome if someone make TAS run with this game. Its might be help me find some better stuffs. At this point my run is reallly tight and seems really hard to redo without better strategys.
Finally my run is up in SDA. Its take 10 months pass verification and wait this run. But every this waiting was worth it. Thankyou SDA. You guys are awesome.
Nice job and good luck japan version run. I might be really interested see it.
Yeah its finally time update SDA page. I think if im verifer i have to only check audio things, gameplay itself was superb. I pick up only little error area 5 boss and area 8 wrong warp seems take couple attempts.
Its like human TAS and make me & feasel run look noob playing. Damn why im always sleeping when you stream.???
This run was TOTALLY BRUTAL SICK FUCKING GOOD.:o
I have to say you are did great progress. Keep this up and you will be soon sub 11 minutes. Im glad someone run this game.  This not my favorite game running. Fuck this RNG.
Nice time. Sorry im not stream yet. Thanks crap internet connect and unknow audio troubles. Im also really rusty with this game. I did my runs 4 years ago. Im not are touch this game much after this.
I was really pleased this run. Sub 11 minutes might be definitely my final goal speedrun this game. At this point its will be work seconds by seconds. Also this game hurt much my arm. I break my rightside arm from (sport inury) january 2014. I have to use elbow pad to play that game.
Damn finally nice time and new record. Im not count attempts but i trash something like 7-8 hours recorded videos (failed runs) and spend 4 days. That was only run i got finnish and only run i got pass level 7. I estimate 11:09:89 but i think its will turn 11:10. 14 seconds improvement over my previous record.
I "roughly" timed what time i lost your WR run per level. This timing is just not perfect. I didn´t cound hundreds just seconds. Jungle +1 seconds Base + 9 seconds Waterfall +5 seconds (i never are managed that one round fight and i got this barrier early method but its not cost much time flame jump is hell) Base 2 +28 seconds (10 seconds with boss fight only i miss this glitch like always. Other 18 seconds i lost level only without sense reason) My firing seems suck even it was pretty good most of the time IMO Snow +6 seconds (just my cautions) I never pass this level without stopping Energy +6 seconds (i got this barrier and probably decent boss fight. Your fight was awesome Hangar +7 seconds (I got my personal best level 7 ever but you did it extremely well. Awesome pause trick at end. Not idea how it working. Alien +4 seconds (i got slower fight and some stupid mistakes) Thanks my slow arm i cannot make WR method here but thats not seems really important.
I just rough estimate i lost 28 seconds for you base 2 only and 9 seconds base 1 only. Damn if i could firing somewhat faster sub 11 is pretty easy task for me even slower quality run. Whole 37 seconds i lost base levels only your 10:02 time.
Thanks Dk28. I´ll wait see you. Your 10:02 was really insane.
EDIT: Even faster way beat level 2-3 boss low-% (sword only run) Its tough one. Its seems random make extra hit here. You need at least one extra hit round (3 hit) I did two here.
About back the low-% there is pretty nice strategy beat 2-3 boss with short sword only.
I´ll might be give my casual shot with this too and i´ll also try improve my any-% sub 13 minutes. This not seems easy because those WR strategys not seems work for me well like Charleon did. I can aim 1-3 early lift but never can rush boss in one round. Then its make only 2 seconds time difference. But i think i could take those damn 5 seconds off with better gameplay. I´ll need better 4-2 & 5-1 and probably 4-1 too. I got also Garuda fight in 35 seconds without bombs & beam and my run its beated in 38 seconds.
Is anyone consider low-% category? I think low-% could be short sword only, nothing else weapons or upgrades expect energys is allowed. All energys is possible to skip but its not suitable in speedruns, then you have dodge & kill nearly every enemys Its might be cool challenge though.
I think i personally can make high 13 minutes run with this category. I´ll still want make sub 13 any-%. Im close but still so far.
Pretty nice first run with this category and good practice my any-% run in future. Its pretty cautions and missed tank quick kill but still got 2nd best strategy working (damn this triple hit is hard). This took me emulator practice and planning and console run itself take something like 25 attempts. Its nearly nothing what i spend Contra.
14:36
Okay first low-% run (only short sword used [no weapons upgrades, no bombs, ninja star and etc...]) I allow energy refills, because game didn´t fill you energy (only half) and its make game look more playthrough than speedrun. Its also super hard to make without making deaths. So energys is fine IMO.
I usually dislike this category. But i think, at this point its just easier to improve than my any-% run. This is also good practice with this game.
Expect level 4 & 4th boss and some really noob things level 5 this run went surprisely well. I think sub 14 is nothing trouble with few more effort and sub 13:30 might be possible with my firing speed. There is most awesome RNG level 6 boss ever.
14:19
LOL. 2nd completed no power up run. Massive 3 minutes improvement over my old one (4 years old run). And this took me only 3 attempts to redo it. New low-% run (without power ups and without continue lost) 4 deaths all not cost much time though.
LOL thats my 2nd PB a today. I got Contra low-% PB and shadow of the ninja any-% PB. Its good and rare day when i got two PB run in same day. Its nearly never happen.
Fact you can´t never be happy enought your run. But i think sub 13 is very good at this point. I think i´ll better starting then i think 12:30-12:40 range is really nice.  LEt see can i someday make it.
Pretty ironic i started this run really badly. I was really close reset my game when i reach 4-2 but somereason i still want continue, because i still have chance. Anyway i did really fantastic run at end. Perfect eagle fight never will happen again i think. My succesrate seems like nothing with this. But i accidentally make it here. 5-1 went extremely well too. Its going using very risky strategies. Garuda fight was also really nice. Even its look i beging its quite badly but i got really good transform and fight going in 35 seconds which is my tied best.
Here we go finally sub 13 team. 12:50
There is probably most luckiest survive level 6. Its cost a lot time but at least its look like nice skills.
But okay here is pea shooter run with one death only: 14:01
Damn this fucking game. I got nearly pure pea shooter run. Only one lonely death level 5 boss fight which didn´t cost any time. Its still not sub 14 minutes yet. Its more harder go for sub 14 what i think. Yesterday i got 14:19 and today i finnish 14:11 & 14:01. But this 14:01 is best looking because im not going make stupid looking deaths here.
Thanks your update Hurblat.
Shadow of the ninja is also pretty easy game make casual runs, but its REALLY, REALLY, DIFFICULT MASTERED. Making run like Charleon did (11:22) will requires some serious effort and you have to be talented player too. But like most WR times is really hard to beat. You can´t find easy game make WR. Probably my Snake Revenge run in SDA is most easily beatable WR time, but game is also really hard and requires tons luck manipulation. SNake Revenge is probably hardest game to learn but easiest mastered LOL.
But overal Jackal is quite fun game to run. Not frustrating like Contra games where one mistake mean bad time.
Its really difficult master though but you will consistent got good times when you will learn this game, sub 10 minutes is actually quite easy task but sub 9 is hard one. Those SDA Jackal runs are like most SDA runs: Damn fucking good and nearly impossible to beat, especially any-%. Low-% seems little bit more beatable but i cannot make it yet, probably never.
Jackal is easy game make casual runs. Its not instantly over if you crash your jeep cost only few seconds. Game is short and fun too.
Thanks. *1-3. I count its save 6-7 seconds skip bombs and reach early elvator. Reaching early elvator is itself pretty hard, but main reason why i pick up bomb is 1-4 boss quick kill. Its pretty damn hard one rounded without bombs. If you miss one round fight its will cost at least 4 or more seconds. So this intention is simple *3-1 its might be cool idea skip this sword. Im not 100% undestand why sometimes lost your sword. I think if you take too much damage is reason with this. *4-1. Damn i just trying make your strategy here, but i accidentally mess up it. Then neraly everythinsg started went suck and lags happen. Its somereason still 1 seconds faster level than my previous run. *4-2 Did you can tell me how you did this platform zip? Im trying manytimes but i never can maked it. This is cool looking trick but i think i do somethings badly wrong. *5-1 5-1 was my personal best run 6 seconds faster than 2nd best run. Yeah its could be even more aggressive. This level requires enought energy again.
Let see how well i wanted go for this. Let see when im ready and good enought start under 11 minutes attempts.
But yeah this run is still very improvelable. Sub 13:30 might start good and sub 13 might just rock. Im happy i got sub 14 minutes. Its start are really skilful run.
I think my elbow start need some rest. I break my fucking hand from january. Its just gym injury and its not are health enought yet. This game really hurt it when i need shaking my controlls. Sometimes firing is just pain ass even using elbowpad.
There is more aggressive boss fights and some better and riskier gameplay with this time. I think i have to update some my strategys especially end of the level 6. I find this really hard one.
There is 3 deaths with this time. Last one didn´t cost any seconds time, because its happen after last boss got die. Two other are just my idiots especially level 7 one. This is not even first time i did this same fucking noob mistake. This shit ruin two my any-% attempts too.
But here we go again: Low-% 13:42
I think Hurblat got tired me. Because i continuos update. But i´ll promise its will end sooner or later.
I have to say congrats Blubber. Sad you make it emulator. Its never will be accepted in SDA with this reason. But what ever it is really awesome to see someone make long way make under 4:58. Its finally happen.
Some years ago we say 4:59 will be final possible human limit. Now we are got 4:57. Why not 4:56 in next 10-20 years later. But yeah its looooooonnnnggggg way. Probably its never happen.
EDIT: Here is video Croc Doc any-% run 10:50. This time is listed but without video
I just got find it in SDA speedrun collection. Its not are update in leaderboard yet.
This is not my own run update. But here is oldest SDA low-% run maded by Croc-Doc 13:24
What ever im really happy with this time at this point. I still want go sub 11 minutes. Next time nothing to lost and all possible risk have to be taked. Its might requires several hours recorded. Im totally got throw my controll towards to wall whole 8 times. At this point this game will requires all your patience.
I think i did two errors here. Base 2 level 2nd last target was quite rough and snowfield gun mans suck. Other levels seems went like extremely well IMO.
This run went damn fucking well. Thanks many pea gun runs. Pea gun runs is probably best possible practice with this game. Its increase your consistent a lot. This took me still 4 hours recorded to redo my 11:10 run. I got finnish 11:11 before this.
11:01 (any-%)
Here i come again.
Okay Hurblat i´ll hope you really enjoy update this page.
Yeah i got this game my NES some days ago. I might post video when i´ll got beat somewhat decent run. But yeah i got sub 15 minutes with my 2nd attempt. Its not totally crap starting.
This run took me one reset to make, though i practice a lot up increase my super rusty skills. I also death once level 1, but somereason didn´t care reset.
I have video but i think there is not sense post it because this is much more worse looking than my PAL/wii run up in SDA. (16:44 which equal something like sub 14 time turn to NTSC timer)
Estimate completion  time: 14:55 using SDA time rules.
LOL my all around first run using real US Nes system & Nes controlls.
But at this point first deathless NTSC version run and not even very bad looking elsewhere than level 7.
This run went very okay. Its take 1 hour & 30 minutes recorded. I still play quite safety. Especially level 7 which is probbaly most shit level entire Contra series. I really hate level 7 and i reallly mean i hate everysingle things with this level especially spider pods. Mostly i wanted got survive alive through this level. Usually if i got anymore risk  Area 7 i´ll die over and over and over.
14:27 any-% deathless. Using real NES & NES controlls.
I think this game is harder than Contra. But my elbow like more this game than Contra. Im not need care this spread rhythm. Low-% category is totally hell with this game. Thanks level 7 pods & level 8. Low-% is actually pretty easy on Contra when you know what you are doing.
2nd weirdenss is boss level 7. Did you can damaged it only when his mouth is open? My avarage fight went 5 round and good fight go in 4 round. I find jump method better here, without jumps my fight coming 5-6 round. I see Heidrage did area 7 boss fast 3 round without jumps its doesn´t work me very well.
Thanks update Heidrage. I actually never are understand how this F gun charge actually work. Sometimes you just caused more damage than sometimes. This is some time save Area 1.
Because Philospraptor did first run with this category its not need are perfect. Starting point is starting point. But yeah its might always cool see improvements submissions.
Congrats accepted philosorpator. Those comments are pretty rough. Its nice someone have motivation make submission SDA. Its always nice to see run in SDA. If Nudua are got 12:58 using real NES its will could be pretty easy accept and obsoleted this run. You have just submited.
Why you guys who can make this game faster than runner not make own submission? Its not that hard task.
Thats still great runner take those comments without got offensive and he will make better run soon. Thats nice to hear.
You guys who can play this game faster than runner. You guys not need cry it here because you can always submit your own run which is faster.
Yeah i agree. If you make totally sloppy run its will be rejected. But i think this run not was that sloppy because nearly every verifers seems like accept it.
I have to only say: Congrats your accepted run Philospraptor. You have to be glad you pass long way to SDA. Nice job and keep trying.
My personal opinion are, those comments Joka & Nudua are pretty rude IMO . If i was are verifer i might towards reject (just with this death) or weak accept if other things are fine. Im not are see that run yet so im not going say anythings. If someone runner did better run he/she are welcomed submit it. You guys don,t need cry it after verification are completed succesfully.
Joka & Nudua could also submit own runs, its seems both are make better run than Philospraptor.
You guys need checkout it if you want verifer something. Its too late regret now.
Why you not give you own shot if you think this run is way too sloppy and you can easily make better run? I´ll hope see you will make it if you really think its easy like this.  At this point this look you cry like baby girl.
Kennyman666
Its also fun to watch TMR stream. Some drama and mames.
At this point i have to say PJ. Binonic commando is one favorite game to watch and PJ is also really friendly guy.
2 player is harder category too. We need more plans with lags and etc.... We can make boss fights faster throug.
I think we next goal is go for sub 9 minutes and i think its pretty easy task. Let see can we somedays make some SDA worth run, but yeah this run have some potential. But at this point sub 9 minutes seems very easy and my own PB with 1 player (8:45) are very beatable.
Its we first "somewhat serious run" And yeah its still totally suck. But we got some nice plans working here. Level 1 & 2 went somewhat avarage, but still unwanted lags. Its seems tanks appeared faster when you got full power ups. But its not good idea keep it because lags slow you Level 3 was totally crap. We both throws grenades and caused huge amount lags. We both accidentally die here. Also boss could be one round faster. Level 4 was okay. Helicopter could be faster, but its went in 1 round. Level 5 This level especially boss fight went really suck. I think this level need more plan we both Level 6 1.Player is definitely better strategy pass this level. You can still use AB and wakeup you friend against boss fights. Here is much lags with boss fights, but its seems you can still save a lot time here. We got much unwanted lags with fortress and brother got die too early against huge tank.
But here we make one "more serious" attempt. Run went surprisely fast compared how much mistakes we both did here. This are we first real 2. player run. 9:20
Is anyone interested see 2.player runs with this game? Mostly this category is harder. We are with my brother make some drunk run for fun. Never timed better than 11 minutes before.
Yeah this is not only game where jump is smaller and shorter than PAL version of the game. Ducktales, Shadow warriors & Super Mario World has this same thing.
Hi good luck your runs.
We next goal is sub 8:30. Then this run might look very good i think. We will need some better plan and etc... I think taking rocket level 2 not save that time with 2 player game. Its just only make possible make less lags. Taking more rocket not seems good outside TAS runs. Too much lags happen. Lag controll is main key here. Taking full power ups save time level 1 fight. We plan is here pretty good.
-Much better than previous run -1-seconds slower than my one player run -Many rooms improvement here and there. -Not much effort yet. Its just take we 45 minutes reseting beat this. -There is much better lag controll than last time. Less ugly mistakes. -This run is at least decent one.
8:46
2. player run with my brother' . Huge improvement
This took some serious time beat 8:46. I know there is still 20 seconds improvement. We think final goal might be 8:15.
Pretty good one. Need still much more polish.
8:38 (2. players)
This run will be requires all your friendly with your guys.
Its might be time to go move for low-% run next? What do you thinking? You might aim sub 11 minutes here?
I was wanted see this your live attempt but you always stream when i sleeping. This suck.
God you firing fast like hell in base levels. Always enjoy see your spread blows here. I think you did something 2-3 seconds human errors entire game (biggest probably lag in energyzone). Its simply awesome see perfect run like this.
You really did it. Congrats.
HOLY FUCK!
But about NES games speedruns: This one is used in PJ speedrun. Its just REALLY DAMN HARD consistent. I think i can make it 1/50 attempts. Its crazy to see how skilful PJ are make it his runs. This trick is probably one harder human skill trick NES games. Binonic commando includes some other as difficult tricks as this.
Im not going even mention all TAS tricks. There is humanly possible skip rations & gasmask Metal Gear NES, but way too intense humans skills make frame pausing consistens. Metroid Prime has also some insane hard trick especially 21% category and i cannot even make those tricks.
We have to remember this game difficult is like a lot Ghost & Goblins. Its very hard game.
17:45 might be good and 17:30 might be great. Sub 17 minutes is definitely possible but im not even try reach it yet
I was pretty happy my 18:21 run. Im not submit it with few reasons: -I find better strategys most levels -Level 5 boss stragy is oudated -level 6 strategy is also really outdated -I die level 6 boss (cost 13 seconds)
I think i´ll make this game up in SDA in future, but its will requires some serious effort. Im happy my consisnten increased a lot make through level 3. 4 & 5 level kill always. Level 5 is easy, but always die with boss. I can did this my practice 9/10 attempts. But somereason i always did wrong it my console.
Level 4 is so fucking nasty shit level. Most attempt end here. Level 4 is really hard one.
I did my best level 6 run in 1:04 +sub screens. I think 17:30 could be some awesome run. My PB is 18:21.
LOL die level 5 boss 16:06 SDA timer. Fucking good run. Piss me off so fucking much. My stupid
Back the progress
I´ll probably post some video when i´ll got sub 18 or something.
I´ll check couple things. This run will improvement easily when i got some runs finnish.  It very hard to say how well i´ll make this. That was only attempts got finnish game without huge time costing deaths.
18:06. Its PB but  pretty shit one. I was something rough 20-30 second behind my best attempts (where i die level 5 boss) This time i make horrible level 4 volcano target.  I also totally mess up target one level 6. I also die unintention middle of level 6 but that cost only 5-6 seconds. Its not even bad compared other mistakes i did.
I want still try redo some bad things. Level 4 only has at least 15-20 seconds rooms possible to improve many other things could be faster though. I think i can´t make level 2 boss room faster or even fast like this in future runs but nearly everythings else is more or less possible to improve.
I got ptetty nice PB.
-This started look pretty good. -Its over minutes improvement over my old video October 2013. -Level 2 boss room was insane good. This is 2nd time this happen tank didn´t try even shoot me. Not know how this happen. Weird but nice -Level 3 was somewhat cautions but okay. -Level 4 volcano target suck pretty much. Its very hard one though. Its rarery went much better. -Level 4 last part suck too. I also die in boss room. Thanks awesome controlls. -Level 5 was good. Its very hard pick up those guys faster. I was close die with boss because i did my mistake but i survive. -Level 6 went very well. Boss is weird and sometimes its not register all hits what i want. I also miss this save spot. Its sometimes working and sometimes not. Its just random.
17:12
This look my helicopter skills are increased quite bit since 2013. This game is still very hard to controll.
Thanks.:) Yes i´ll plan submit if i got something like really nice stuff here. Next sub 17 minutes attempts and look then how well its look.
There is JPN version TAS run 10:09 (under 10 minutes SDA timer) Run like this is not even good speed guide, because console run never will even close fast like TAS run. There is many reason with this. Not idea how well this game could be passed on console. My 17:12 is current WR. Its seems im only guy who are running that game. I can reach sub 17 minutes with current strategys just make better level 4 run.
Level 6 second half could be done without turning and it definitely few seconds faster if you got correct place and critical missile hits. Its random one though.
About ladder or rope. I cannot see real difference. Probably not matter which you use.
Level 4 Volcano target is probably hardest place entire speedrun IMO. I find this fire bombs strategy faster than bullet strategy, but its also much harder. Im really incosistent with this. I also waste several seconds time here my speedrun. This video show how well you can make it. But this hitbox is really weird.
Level 3 boss room could be bit easier for speed (probably slower in thoery) But this make you 100% succesrate save those all hostages repeadly without wasting time. Take Tank out take bit longer than my speedrun strategy.
I think at this point this game start requires some research. If you guys have some better tips you are welcomed to tell me. Overal my 17:12 run was quite well planned, but i got find some tips might be useful in future runs:
Congrats again. Hope this decision not caused bad drama like last time.
I´ll back later. Hope i´ll got better death abuse run and make completed deathless run.
Deathless category might really cool looking, its really brutal. Level 4 might kill several runs. But yeah this is very possible category to beat.  Its seems level 4 might be only real trouble here.
Im probably interested try deathless run too. Level 5 & 6 are very similar as deaths runs. Other levels requires more skills keep your energys off and this category is also longer, because can´t use those deaths warps. Level 4 is very hard one here, because its hard even death runs. Its requires much cautions with some places especially Volcano target. I´ll might recorded some deathless stuffs later.
I am checkout many things a today and making some ID level runs. This look perfect runs through level 5 & 6 only could only save something like 25 seconds over my 17:12 run. 17:12 has also really bad level 4 run so 20 or more seconds could be easily off here. Some little things are also check out. I count sub 16:30 might some potential time on console. Sub 16 might be theory best. Who know? I think game like this perfections is too hard.
About deathless run. I did recorded level 4 speedguide. Yeah this take me 30 minutes to beat this level only without taking any deaths. Im not exaggerate when i say level 4 is one harder levels nes games history. About deathless run this will be nearly all game difficulty is here. I think this might still little bit easier on console, because somereason its little bit easier controll your helicopter on console. My death runs will includes some deaths level 4, i fill my energy and could make riskier and more aggressive run. Deathless runs you have to be really careful.
WTF? I always find some really weirdness with this game when i play it alot. Yeah this game is really buggy. Some bugs save time and some bugs kill your run instantly. Thats one happen for me my practice. Its never happen before. No idea how this is possible? But yeah luckily its not very common.
Okay some stuffs.
Here is "perfect level 6" Includes perfect final boss.
LOL I got 17:12 again. Tie as fast as my record. This time i didn´t make any unintention deaths but miss level 2 tank manipulation make boss fight somewhat slower. I also miss last boss target spot like last time too. Its save 10-13 seconds. Its totally luck and rare. I think its somewhat pixel perfect or something. Im really inconsistent with this. So probably its never happen good runs. In theory its easy way got run like 16:30. But making all this shit and weirdness its seems really hard got any nice run. I´ll definitely aim sub 17 minutes my death run.
Congrats Cak. You are really awesome player with this game.
But my personal opinion meat is allowed.
I think you have to ask this about SDA mods? Im not know did you are allowed take energys/meat? I think invisble is banned but you not really need that. Its nearly pointless. MEat might be important though, its allow some damage boost and etc...
About Shadow of the Ninja. Yeah its possible skip energys and make deathless run (did its my emu with savestates), but then its more walkthrough than speedrun, because game not fill your energy and need kill nearly every enemies. I personally allow take energys only and make fast deathless run without other upgrades. But yeah its same question about this is it SDA allowed? Not know its might banned?
About Contra series its mean everythings includes barriers and flashes. But those items are pretty pointless too.
I think this run might are worth first SDA submission. I have to make quality test first.  Also i might try redo that later, so i probably not go submit yet. I´ll might really happy my run if it goes sub 16:30. This will be hard without last boss quick kill.
This last boss is some extremely random. Im never are make it actual runs, because its nearly never working. So i have to use regular way which cost 10-15 seconds.
Its finally sub 17 minutes. This run was very good, but extremely unoptimize and horrible last level. Many important things went really awesome. Volcano target probably my best ever.
Okay 16:55 using SDA timer. You helicopter controll take on and stop when last boss explod.
No idea is my settings correct. Nate can look this and say is quality good enought or not. Somereason this game give me lower MB videos than some other Nes games even my settings are same all time.
Otherwise very good run. Last level cost 20 seconds my theory best time. 15 those happen in last boss. Random quick kill going wrong like every runs its cruel if you did it wrong thats cost 15 seconds and trick seems very precise.  At this point i submit quality test in tech support. I´ll might try redo that yet when Nate are check out my quality. My dream goal is something 16:30. Requires perfect level 6 run and some better movement else where.
Here you can see video my 16:55 run.
But you might ask that moderator who are played that game much enought. I think Nate and Radix know a lot if you going submit.  Or you might try submit and look what verifers will thinking. Run will be accept or reject.
I think 21% & 22% might be seperate category. There is also good example SM64 runs. 0 star is seperate than 16 star. Otherwise i might stay keep 22% low-% only valid  category. Its just my opinion. 22% look like speedrun 21% look like playthrough.
IMO 21% is more surival through/hell through. Its not really are speedrun category IMO.  Its very hard to say if you going to post this run what will happen. Smilingjack 22% SS run is several hours faster. There is really huge difference between 21 & 22% runs and also 21% is way much harder than 22%. There is no way any peoples make SS run look like TAS or even good looking time 21% category. This 6 hours is actually fucking fast time, but its definitely not look speedrun.
First i have to say big congrats daryoshi. Thats crazy how soon you did this soon after Metroid177 and improve his time whole 3 hours.
T3 are did sub 3 hours with segmented. No recorded. Its still over twice slower than 22% category. 21% seems mostly valid speedrun category TAS page only. But its might be done pretty quickly on segmented runs too, but never compared current 22% runs.
I´ll recorded runs later with this settings.
Thanks.:)
Im pretty sad my 16:55 not are got any views. Is there any peoplles even interested with my progress.? What ever i´ll keep this my progress if i got bored i´ll submit my 16:55 and its accept or reject then. But my intention is improve that yet.
Okay quality test is done. Its accetable. Okay this run is good, but i´ll definitely try improve it little bit yet. Hope i can got 16.3x range. If i got sub 16:30 i´ll definitely submit what ever it looks. Then i´ll go attempts deathless run, just beat it with good looking run. No time goal yet.
Nah im not stream
Okay thanks man. Yeah difficulty and weirdeness make game really tough. Its reason why many intention deaths. Deathless run might look some awesome, even includes much more cautions. I am paractice with both category, but this death run is much easier. I think i have to practice last boss. This is some fucking frame perfect. How cruel is this but if you miss this spot its cost 15 seconds around. There is only one chance make it.
This run went really well, but many rooms still possible improve. Next goal is sub 16 minutes. I think 15:30 range will be my final goal depend how much cutscen skip save time. I got find really good strategy beat last boss without cheap spot, but its very risky and difficult. Its still cannot done like TAS did.
I got find new time saver skip all fucking cutscenes pushing B & start. This will cut alot time in future runs sub 16 not are trouble. I got find it in my run and used it level 3 to 6.  I think skipping Sumatra cutscenes save something 20 seconds RTA timer, but its not count or matter SDA timer.
16:26.
I think this beat all my goals. Really good run overal
I´ll might post video youtube later. This will take another year completed verification.
I think if im crazy enought i might try deathless run challenge next. Its will be really damn hard i think. Im not even sure can i beat level 4.
Possible risky time saves could be happen: Skipping armor level 2. Its will make 4 from hell. Deaths save time and help so much with this game. So i used many. There is one unwanted cost me coulple shy seconds.
This will be definitely accetable submssion. 15:30 will be possible for sure. Who know sub 15 minutes but its might requires some more crazy things and luck.
I think i´ll submit this. Its first time in speedrun i got perfect target against final boss. I also good pretty good volcano target level 4. Both save a lot time. There is tons minor mistakes here and there like shit controll game like this. I´ll might try redo that though, but run will be 90% death if i miss last boss target, its cost nearly 20 seconds and its so fucking rare. Im not sure how much i want put effort with this. I think im trash 10-12 hours recorded attempts +spending one year research.
15:44. (15:47 RTA time rules)
But hell yeah i finally got great looking run with this game. Im not believe thats can somedays happen. I remember how damn hard this game was beat to first time. First level only take me 45-60 minutes to beat. LOL.
When i´ll try redo that i´ll need some more research and testing things, but 15:44 is really good run at this point. I´ll post it youtube too, but little bit later.  Deathless run might be next challenge, then i´ll might be learning better player than now.
Thanks DK28. I just submit my 15:44 in SDA.
15:44 you can see it here. Its will be coming in verification soon.
Can we think 27 minutes could be happen in next 5 years? Year ago i thinking 28 minutes is totally impossible to reach even in theory. Now we have two guys who are under this "impossible" goal. I have to watch this later.
Holy shit. I just hear Zoast did very high 28 minutes IGT. You are make it whole 20 seconbds faster.
LOL. I see his IGT is 30 minutes. I think SDA will need seperate category IGT and RTA runs?
What is there new route? Last time when i watch Zoast streams he use normal route. Yeah thats might explain a lot big improve like this. Yeah i have to watch this run, im interesting see this new route.
Thats fun. I´ll hope peoples will enjoy with this. I think Deathless category is next. Okay i´ll probbaly need buy some more Nes controlls. Level 4 will kill me over and over here. This run will be pure rage. And yeah quality will be less optimize. I think we need deathless run too one hardest Nes game ever.
This run is GOD.
I check out timer my 15:44 run its 40 seconds faster quality than my 16:55 which was done without cutscene skips. Im so happy i got find this cutscene skip accidentally right before i did my final run. My final goal was without cutscene skip sub 16:30 and i did this run equal 16:15 with cutscenes. Cutscene skip save time around 45 seconds SDA timer and 63 seconds RTA timer.  So 15:45 or 15:44. What ever verifers will decide. This beat my final goal by 15 seconds. Level 1: 2:59 Level 2; 2:46 Level 3: 2:59 Level 4: 3:31 Level 5: 1:48 (2 seconds off my best) Level 6: 1:00 (5 seconds off my best)
BTW How about you guys did you have 2. players gameplays? Its might be cool see videos?
We both are busy and too lazy try it at this point. But we definitely try redo that later.
Jackal NES 8:38
Me and my Brother are making most 2. players gameplay for fun and drunk. But we have one serious good planning and executions.
I think this one hardest category. We both need skills, time and motivations.
This Skull Prime leaderboard is simply awesome. He are did much research and really much job with this. I think we not need other leaderboards Prime.
Duck Tales 2 Easy 10:39
Duck Tales Difficult 8:44
Duck Tales easy 8.15
I have couple casual runs Duck tales NES games. I play with emulator and without cheats.
Hope see if someone put more efforts with this and we will see even better run.
Thats really sad.
Sometimes rejection really surprised me. I actually see this run when Kirby did it his live attempt. I personally really liked this. I was definitely give it accept. This 5 minutes pauses not seems bad. Come on guys 4.5 hours lenght i think you need drink and visit in toilet couple times. Sometimes bad runs go for accepted and sometimes really good runs go towards reject like this.
Nothing much complains your gameplay. You really perfected this game. Its insane see those really hard tricks you throw your runs.
Congrats PJ.
Its might next target sub 3 hours 1 controll run.
RNG like this game is hell especially Vampire & Buffy. Probably never see how low this time could be are. Its might be awesome if you going submit your 1:58. This was really damn quick and lucky run.
I have to say your sub 2 hour run was absolutely superb. Girl skip is awesome trick, i wonder why its not are founded already? Esepcially i loved your buffy fight, mana fortress last part and superb one round Manabeast. One rounded WTF?.
Final boss cannot be done using TAS way on console. Its simply too hard even with save states and 50% speed slowmotion. I got find nice way beat this fight here. Yeah i nerves dying my situation here little bit, but i got perfect spot firing. This was really good last boss fight. Its probably main reason why i submit this run. I finally got find this spot perfect i want (seriosuly its nearly never happen in runs). Its save around 12-15 seconds over my avarage fight. So i have to be really happy with this fight.
Thanks Dk28 and thanks verifers too. Yeah that was tricky make this run. Glad to see its accept. Thanks guys.:)
You really rush my time. This run look like TAS LOL. ;D
Its crazy RNG with galagos and mad how you pass game through with pea guns and without energys.
Damn sick run. Nothing else can´t say.
Cool. Thats always cool to see when my runs got destroyed. Sub 10 minutes is awesome. I might see you can go for sub 9:30 minutes.  This game is mostly random especially last boss.
Nice time. Finally you tied my best. Now go for aim got beat WR time 9:56 by Deggness.
Your 9:04 was really awesome looking run. Really liked last boss. That was pretty damn good executed and and without deaths which never ever happen for me. Still sub 9 seems like really possible for you.
Really good efforts here. Its only around 30 seconds slower than TAS. But TAS is also really outdated. I think great TAS definitely will be sub 8 minutesa today.
But otherwise that was probably one most greatest things what ever happen Prime. But yeah speedrun is speedrun thats cruel.
Yeah darnyoshi run was superb (its insane anyone who can pass this category without deaths). But yeah i really agree verifers its not speedrun. I think your runners might can go back to try 22% speedruns in SDA. 21% probably never will accepted low-% here because its simply too slow and hard category to speedrun.
Yeah no one really can´t run that category fast enought.  Probably requires tons segments, but its still not can,t compared 22% runs.
22% is more speedrun low-% category than 21%.
Okay i think this run look like TAS. I think TAS run will need some updates too. In theory last boss could be always little bit faster. I think your next goal is go beat current TAS time. IIRC it is 8:20-8:30 range.  Probably its too mad time to beat even with you too.
I remember when i keep that game my progess. It was so fucking hard and unforgive go for sub 11 minutes. Then i think sub 10:30 probably sub 10 minutes could be in theory possible time on console, but never believe sub 9 minutes can be done.
Holy fuck. Thats fucking awesome run. Perfect RNG nearly everywhere. Its look a lot better gameplay than your previous awesome 9:04 run.
This is probably only NES game i cannot beat it. This game is too boring to play but really fun to watch. I´ll look your progress here. Its migth be really mad if your final produyct will totally deathless. I think its never really can´t happen.
I actually watched TMR completion run, and that was really mad one. His time was 55 minutes and that was pretty quick IMO. I was go actually accpeted run like this if he was making this his real NES. Its might be crazy insane make sub 30 minutes time. IIRC first level took me something like 30 minutes with ABBA code used.
I am really interested see run with this game. I own this cart too. But i simple hate this game too much. I cannot beat it even using ABBA code, because level 3 boss lost this code.
Just keep going. Actual deathless run is not that hard, but making it for speed its pretty tough one.
There is many things game you cannot make nothing because bad RNG. Bubbles level 4, mouthfield level 6 and spider pods level 7. Otherwise you can pretty consistent make improve your time.
Im not sure how long its take handled that game. When i did my PAL version run in SDA im not have any emulators. I working so long (2-3 months and several hours per day) I did several deathless run though. When i got my NTSC cart later i did decent deathless run quite soon when i did emulator practice before. My NTSC time is still really bad compared my PAL run.
Level 7 is only real pain for me. I am really bad with this level. Especially spiderpods area. I seriously hate this
Its game i like always back and try speedrun it more or less seriously. Game is also really awesome 2. players.
I think i wanted say Jackal.
Great job Ktwo.
Its definitely ACCEPT.
This run includes much harder and better route than my run. Its also much more optimize. Level 4 pea gun route is really crazy looking and run is done without using any energy potions which are pretty crazy make this using that route and pea gun whole time. Skippings all galago tunnels are pretty rare. I think its could be compared like skip Super Mario Bros 3 hand levels.  This run is also really flawless. Because there is not any TAS runs up, no idea how much this time could be lower in theory, but its seems this run is pretty much perfect IMO.
This run is around 50 seconds better than my current run into site. I timed 7:57:04 using my stopwatch. Its probably could be high 7:56.
Okay this my verification respond. I´ll keep this quite short, because im not have nothing complains about this run. Its pretty much human TAS IMO.
ACCEPT.
This run is simply insane good and huge improvement over my SDA run.  Really good RNG happen here.
There is 2 deaths but run is done without taking any extra life. Game is nearly impossible beat without deaths, because game never fill your energys and enemys are dangerous as hell. Runner also got silverfleeche which is really useful against last fight.
This run is over 2 minutes faster than my run into site. Its really huge improvement over my already good run. I timed 8:44 using my stopwatch. This run was also nearly as fast as TAS run. Though there is new TAS up now. Which is much faster than old TAS. Im not are watch that new TAS run yet. Probably some new things are happen here. But its not matter my verification responds.
Hi guys. This is my verifiaction respond.
New TAS run Iron Sword. I actually just see it first time. There is some new things and little more optimize route planning. 7:14
I think this run might be SDA worth. See will Joe or Paul keep redo that one. Its might really hard and long way go for sub 32 minutes.
In theory 5 round Dracula seems theory possible on console. IIRC Hanage was really close make it once his run. I never are see 5 round Dracula speedruns also 6 rounded slogra seems really hard one too.
32:06 was huge improvement. Its really good looking run. Its finally cool see mummy 1 round and slogra 7 round in same run. Damn you Dracula. It was really close make 6 round but litt bit bad rng here and its were going 7 round.
Hope you guys will watch my masterpiece. I might interested see you guys could redo that too. At least skipping armor level 2 is definitely human possible (but very tricky time saver)
My run is up and also comment is up now.
I´ll also keep leaderboard in SDA use this topic and videos is not required here expect if you got really good time. Just keep fun and speedrun.
Im not going post other peoples runs. Your have to make it yourself and link your video if you want your rank up speedrun.com.
Jackal leader board is here too. But videos is always required here.

Leaderboards
You will got 9:55 but i think you want make better and always better time. Which will be final limit i think 9:52. I´ll set this your final goal
I can,t understand how much you love play that game. Your sub 10 minutes is definitely submit worthy.
Today i watched your stream, i just think how fucking mad this game is. You are really consisntent good player.
Keep going. I´ll watch your.
Next goal is sub 8:45 using grenades hopefully less deaths. I might back rocket run later. Its much more harder category consistent.
Good time mostly requires really good last fights. I think in theory i might beat WR run. Here alone i lost 10 seconds with fortress only, and some miss throw with tank.
This not beat my rocket run. But its only 4 seconds slower than my PB any-% category.
New low-% PB beat my 6 years old run. 8:49 using my stopwatch (its might be 8:50 SDA timer not sure) stop watch show 8:49:50.
Oh yeah. Couple days and 10-11 hours trashed recorded and eight sub 9 minutes runs later i got beat my low-% record. I lost around 14-15 seconds SDA run. I probably have most horrible fortress fight luck ever. So i´ll keep try redo that. I have my 2nd best sub time after level 5. My lag luck seems very good here. Tank fight seems decent one.
Current any-% WR is totally crazy but this low-% might be totally beatable, but i´ll need much more polish.
WR 8:35 so i´ll need 13-14 seconds off yet. Its seems very minor but its still a lot time.
I think i might try beat Jim Hanson WR back with  my name. I´ll need those 14 seconds off yet. I think only last bosses and good game is enought one.
8:48:17 using stopwatch timer. 1.5 seconds improvement. Fuck take me 3 hours 17 minutes trashed attempts but beat my run only record 1.5 seconds. With this time i did awesome fortress but Huge tank totally troll me like hell. But i got several 8:52-8:55 runs. So i am very consistent sub 9 minutes skills rightnow. Grenade category
But i´ll keep that my progress, probbaly i´ll wil try any-% run. 8:45 is my record.
My sum of the best are 8:29 low-% but its nver went well i want. Awesome fortress here.
8:48:17
6 hour attempts beat my time Thanks Tank. You are ass hole
I have to say Jim Hanson is so fucking great player.
Its look i gain my time level 3. But lost time first boss because bad encounter, othere time i lost Huge tank like always.
Jim and me Side to Side
I think my last goal is 8:43. Then i might go try new PB any-% category. Its might be sub 8:40. Fortress is so much less laggy here when you use rockets.
Its again one seconds faster than previous one. This will be work like seconds to seconds right now. I am make at least 20 runs under 9 minutes and couple runs 8:50 range or under. It really frustrating make huge tank and fortrsss perfcetly.
8:47:13
Another low-% record
This is 8-9 seconds faster than my obsoleted SDA run. Its very much time.
This tied my any-% run. Its 10-11 seconds slower than Jim Hanson WR. Its went pretty well. Some bad luck with fortress and huge tank could be always faster. I think i´ll might go practice rocket category again. There is more potential beat my PB right now. Though rocket category have much harder level 3 & 6. Death is definitely not allowed before tank.
8:45 (no upgrades category)
You still can´t load my run. This seems SDA error?
Ktwo run is deleted and my run comment is back.
What is happen?
I work any-% category rightnow. This run ended somewhere 8:50 range. Lost just 10 seconds with this.
WTF? This never are taking long like this
8:44 demostration run. Take me 6 hours recorder and 3 runs end 8:45. This was easily my best gameplay all around. I´ll definitely go faster time when my hands got break little bit. But probably can,t make gameplay like this.
I did EXTREMELY GOOD demostration run any-%. Unlucklly bad last level and fortress and somewhat not optimize huge tanko encunoter. But i got my sum off the best all other levels. My route changes little bit Jim Hanson route. I think those lags level 3 is not are necessary. Its make me personally 8 seconds time lost so you can see
Which is your secret? Millions hours practice or something?
Awesome DK28. I am watch your live and see you are very consistent sub 10 minutes runner. Thats crazy how well you smashing and handled this game. Nobody other runnes not are got sub 10 minutes yet.
I´ll put more effort later. I´ll really go sub 8:40 and i think my run is still pretty bad one.
This category is fucking more frustrating than low-%. Thanks level 6.
Most difficult things are last missle launcher and last stairs. I´ll always di here over and over i nearly never survive through with this place. This is piece of cake low-% category. But using rockets bullets rain are so quick. What ever 4 hours recorded with this.
1.5 seconds improvement over demostration run. This run got fantastic first 5 levels, but i got die level 6 and lost my rocket before fortress. I have pretty bad RNG fortress too. Huge tank went pretty well. Thats reason i got PB. What ever this run was more or less horrible.
Jackal any-% 8:43:30
Okay thats main reason why i hate rocket category so much. This place is damn tight. Using grenades i got pass this very easily.
But what ever i have PB 8:41 and this suck ass. I´ll need little break and i´ll definitely go for sub 8:40. I think sub 8:40 might still suck ass run any-% category.
I totally suck. 6 hours and 12 GB later i got beat my PB. I was 6 seconds behind my best run when i enter level 6. I pass level 6 rocket/staircase combo only three times without taking deaths. This make any-% category totally hell.
8:41:13 any-%
Right now i´ll bee keep my focus any-% because its technically easier redo than low-%.  When i got good enought any-% i might go back low-% its more fun category imo. Next i really want go sub 8:40
Any-% 8:41 20 seconds off wr.
Here is my both runs i am pretty happy low-% time 8:45. Only 10 seconds off WR
I´ll keep working my runs. I actually started run this game year 2007-2008 and got this game my console 2009 making SDA run which got later obsoleted. I have still top 2 ranking with this game.
Thanks.:) Yeah i wonder too. This is one really fun game speedrun casually. Making run like WR stananard are hell as hard thought. Jim has really good WR times, especially any-% run.
This run took me several gours again. Im not usually got finnish runs because level 6. I´ll defintiely go try redo this. I think sub 8:35 might be very potential compared how much mistakes i did here. Im not need even good run. But what ever this is my first sub 8:40 run. I remember how hard it was going game sub 9 minutes first time.
Good things -Level 3 lag controlls was great here. Probably one my best ever. -Pass this fucking staircase level 6 without lost my rockets. Its kill me over and over. This place is luck like shit any-% category, bullets rains are quick. Its requires always much luck.
Bad things -I miss helicopeter one round (this somereason is very common place i miss it, its not easy trick as it looks i am really inconsistent with this) Im not care reset it if i got three first level done well enought. -Fortress tank luck was good, but i make a lot mistakes trying kill that fucking single tank -3 deaths with huge tank and that last one was really noob -6 seconds behdind my best time when i enter level 6 was quite slow one. -Couple seconds dying with 2 & 3 boss fight, not that bad but stupid
8:39 any-% Pretty much suck, but finally reach this hard limit and i am sub 8:40 team right now. That was actually quite low 8:39. Its seems i can make over 10 seconds faster run, but i think its not going happen soon, because its very rare way pass level 6 through. Level 6 staricase is simply hell place any-% runs. I usually not going reset my game as long as i have rockets here
I probably might be happy 8:32. I think most things need went well enought.
I have sub 8:30 pontential skills. But last bosses hate me today.  Luckily i got more consistent helicopter and stairs. I got finnish several runs ended 8.4x range.
Both run have bad final fight. First 8:37 went nearly perfect (10 seconds ahead my 8:39 run when i enter in huge tank but i totally mess here.
LOL I got 8:37:0x run twice
Im not sure can i ever beat WR time, but i think good run will be pretty close about it.
I was still 4-5 seconds behind my sum of the best when i enter level 6. I got simply awesome staircase lag controlls ever and nearly perfect fortress fight RNG. Huge tank finally avarage one, but not great. I´ll aim sub 8:30 next. I think im not never are happy enought my run. But this game is really take me a lot time keep my own progress.
8:34 any-% (probably very high 8:33 but i cannot be sure about this -Spending 3 hours recording to day i got threee run under 8:40. I am pretty pleased my consistent right now. This run got pretty horrible looking level 1 & 2, this cost me total 2-3 seconds my avarage best. My run started went better later.
Right now i have to say i am really pleased with this run. Only couple peoples like watch my project. This ate my motivation little bit. WR run is still very great. Its will be really hard to beat. Low-% WR migth be little easier.
Bad things -Level 3 elec field cost me 1-2 seconds. -Level 6 staricase lag controll not was great like my previous run, but still good -Fortess fight was unlucky
Good things +Levels and most bosses went pretty much well i wanted +Huge tank was my best ever. Even with 2 deaths, thats got really nice encounter i really rush his armor.
I really rush my time and only 30 minutes attempts make this. This run got fantastic tank fight. But unlucky RNG fortress fight.
7 seconds slower than Jim Hanson (Vugmer) WR speedrun. I think sub 8:20 is definitely possible time to reach. I think i´ll keep trying faster, because there is still lot rooms possible improve drop my time.
8:28 (i timed 8:27:99- 8:28:00 using stopwatch) But this is at least very low 8:28.
Decission ACCEPT
But what ever this is huge improvement over my SDA run.
One tips if you or someone plan try redo. Here is faster last boss strategy. Not save much time, but seems little faster, but also little harder, its pretty precise find this without dying.
But your run is really great. But still a lot rooms possible improve. But i have to say your tank fight was superb and ration luck seems more than good.
Its 5 years when i speedrun that game. So i have to say im not remember much and i cannot analyze your run better right now. So i´ll keep my verification short.
Well i have to say i am glad you really rush my WR time nearly 8 minutes which is really massive. My personal goal was make deathless runthrough. Game seems too hell speedrunning, because those ration RNG, instant run killers make me rage quite a lot. Most i hate this tank and last level.
Here is my verification respond.
But congratrs DK28. I think when you got 9:54 you want go 9:53 next. You never will too happy.
I remember time when Frezy 10:17 was nearly impossible beat. I think its impossible many peoples. I personally stop speedrun Contra because my elbow injury got hurt so much smashing. I got still 11:01. I was overal very pleased. I think i´ll hope my elbow will be better sometimes and back the run game sub 11 minutes.
Thats simply crazy how his consistent make sub 10 minutes runs. I think he are did sub 10 minutes run at least 10 or more times. Nobody cannot even make it once.
We need Jackal  here
Who is speedrunlive admin?
I can link videos later
I got regsiter speedrunlive. But not sure how this happen. Im not very good speak english. Let see.
I´ll think Jackal leader borad is coming soon. This might probbaly motivated peoples play this game. Its borring i have only 5 views my video. Its not make me very motivated run.
EDIT: Well i still got accept this run, because emulators not was banned to use. He say not use turbo, but cannot be sure it. I might still want more information run emulator and console as fast as. Lags differents and etc...
EDIT: Great run. And nice strategys but i´ll need more information before i can accept this.
Its seems he used turbo controlls and he definitely use emulator (fceux). I watch his shadow of the ninja run some time ago.. I will look this too.
Is this china player real?
He mention not use turbo controlls.
He are redo this
I might still go erased run later, if some cheats come out later. Rightnow i cannot find anything. So this runner got 1st place in leaderboard.
But because i´ll allow emulator runs. Im not have reason go reject this because run seems pretty much realtime played.
Yeah lags is most important things when you going make multi rocket run. Run seems otherwise pretty real. Its definitely worth going test some stuffs his run. There is many interesting strategys. I still wonder how helicopeter 1 round could be possible without death abuse. But i think its will be possible. My best is one rocket remain so i think one rounded is definitelöy possible but very hard one. But personally never still one rounded it.
Okay thanks.
Leaderboards rules is updated.
BTW used SDA timer run seems end 7:59.
I´ll usually accept every videos. But if you guys going find some cheats you have respond me with this. Just PM for me.
Okay i updated speedrun.com rules more better and also i updated this page. I´ll keep leaderboards.
LOL my all around first deathless/hitless run. This is just 100% casually and grenades only run. End 9:15. Helicopter 3 rounded and huge tank take me dodge and this ate a lot time. Its usually faster make some deaths. This category is also up in speedrunlive. This category is cruel one. One hit/death and your run is rejected. I think im not really care spend much time with this category, but i think i´ll might go try sub 9 minutes items or not. Death abuse run is more fun, less stress make huge tank because deaths could even save your time.
