A Nightmare on Elm Street NES speedrun

[@dongeraci8599]

This speedrunner gave FREDDY his own nightmares for a change.

[@topdamagewizard]

New to speed running. Think I'm going to give this game a try. I just remember being able to bomb though it as a kid. Also best LJN published game. There are some great ideas here. We don't need a remake but just steal the ideas and make a new Elm Street Game.

Thanks for avenging my childhood, I never imagined anyone could run right thru that game 💪

[@jsbmx2039]

The music in this game is so good. Great run too

[@citizenofcorona8783]

You made the game look WAAAYYY easier than it actually is!

[@Robert-nu4vc]

The game isn't that hard

[@jsbmx2039]

This game was hard as hell. Slippery floors and such

[@subzero8679]

Pretty amazing luck being able to go into the first three houses in a row, one after the other like that.

[@Rayquaza911]

Not luck anymore since we figured out you can manipulate house order. By holding start at the beginning, you have a couple frames window to do it.

[@subzero8679]

Cool. I'll be taking that world record off of you soon.

[@FRISKY_MANDINGO]

I'm starting a marathon of watching all of the movies again, so it reminded me of this game. Killer run. I never finished the game as a kid.

[@joshuaredfield1547]

And not once going to Dreamland!

[@CidSilverWing]

Junkyard and then the Cemetery? I'm curious about the order. Is there a strat behind taking damage too?

[@Rayquaza911]

No, ideally you want to take none, after bosses you are fully healed. The water drops are all random.

[@CidSilverWing]

@@Rayquaza911 Water drops? The coffee cups?

[@TheStrahl]

First 3 levels in the first 3 houses are randomized From there the levels are from the far left and then work your way right. As for managing damage. You get 4 hits per life. Health is restored fully after a boss fights. If you're going to die, it's better to die closer to the top of the screen as you will respawn faster.

[@nicholasgross62]

You have to do it in that order! I think taking damage is more that perfection is impossible, and he was saying that the water droplets that fall from the ceiling in all of the underground levels and in nancies house are randomized so it can affect your speed/make it harder to play through those areas perfectly! This guy looks like he’s a robot or something, this is way harder than it looks, every punch is timed so well!

[@TheStrahl]

@Bob Cook yeah i know. I was explaining the level order.

[@nicholasgross62]

I’ve spent a year of me and a friend of mine trying to beat this on 2 player! My friend has a drinking problem tho so his reflexes are trash

I love this game!!

[@lennicodimo1208]

Why did you keep stopping at various points in the final battle?

[@Rayquaza911]

skipping boss rebattles, pixel perfect setup

[@lennicodimo1208]

@@Rayquaza911 I didn't know you could do that

[@malkneil]

Would be great to get it down to 14:28

[@Rayquaza911]

My sum of best is around 15:46 and that's if all sections are deathless, have good RNG on the bats and water drops, and get first try skips. Sub 15 won't happen unless you cheat with turbo.

[@cmj2b]

TAS?

[@Rayquaza911]

no

[@cmj2b]

Awesome job then 👍🏾

[@Itshowtime7223]

I'm playing this now n I don't remember it being this fkn hard as a kid 🤔
