Unofficial speedrun of Rolling Thunder Story 2 Areas 6 - 10. Can't submit this run to speedrun.com for obvious reasons. The idea is to see how fast I can get through the hellish levels that comprise Story 2!
I think sub ten minutes is certainly doable. I was a bit cautious because I didn't want to die basically. I'll be running through Story 2 again at some point to try and achieve that sub ten minute time. Once I'm happy with my Story 2 time, I will attempt a complete speedrun of Areas 1 - 10 and see where I get to.
Also, notice the glitch towards the end of Area 10. You can basically get through the most difficult part of the level with ease. Unfortunately, you still need to kill the final boss.
Played the version found on Namco Arcade PAC on Nintendo Switch.

wall of text for a cheat run? why?

[@retrogamesreloaded]

It's not meant to be an official run, I wanted to see if I could get through areas 6 - 10. I did start at area 6, but the run is done without using cheats (although I did take advantage of a glitch). I also have one of the fastest loop 1 runs without using cheats. Since the video doesn't have commentary I wrote as much info in the description. Hope that explains it a bit better.
