Summoning salt could make an episode specifically about Arcus, and it would probably be a 3 part because of how many games this man runs.

some of my favourite games are here. Watching Arcus playing is just poetry.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

The feeling of waking up on Saturday morning and seeing that arcus has rung the bell

[@zomroxy2458]

Hello! I just found out about your channel and your long work and dedication you’ve put into your craft. I can imagine not come close on any caliber of what it’s like to put this much effort into something. After watching your video on summoning salts channel. I can say proudly say, thank you. After seeing your persistence even when you completely matched the 11:40. You kept trying. Thank you. You’ve given me motivation and determination. You’ve shown me that through the thick and thin we can truly do what put our minds to if we just keep “running”. I appreciate and respect your work.Thank you

I played Startropics. When I first played NES games I was lousy at jumping. One of the reasons I rented the game from Blockbuster. By the time that game was over you WILL be skilled at jumping.

7:28 Mach Rider Point Tally screen- Destroyed 200 X 004 = 00600 Like the translations in Resident Evil, some bad things in games actually make it more entertaining!

[@06hatter]

That Mach Rider game looks hellish to try to play

[@somefreshbread]

God, I forgot about Cybernoid. That game was the bane of my existence as a kid. I maybe got to level 2 like, twice.

[@THR691]

If you like Kunio-kun series, I recommend Jidaigekidayo zen-in shugou, Nekketsukoushi nkyoku and street basket ball. They are so much fun to play😊

[@THR691]

Ice hockey one is really famous too.

[@cliffshockley4406]

Is there a site with the results of each of the Big 20 races? The host site doesn't seem to have, and googling didn't result in much.

[@miketate3445]

Real talk: Urban Champion is a fun few minutes every now and then.

[@Alucard24601]

Gotta love how stage 1 of Ikari Warriors takes just shy of a minute less to complete than a full Ninja Gaiden run

[@doubleas2380]

Yay. Thanks for uploading this Arcus!

[@kenjikawai8759]

25:30 - The best moment

[@jefflindquist6138]

Great run Arcus !!! Your the best speed runner.

[@mrgjohnson26]

I'm watching your Megaman play and Man Arcus how do you do the wall tricks like that? 😎😎

[@ppjkb8]

Marble Madness was such a frustrating game, but you make it look so easy. I guess the arcade was just more difficult since you had to use a trackball to move the marble and it was so difficult to maneuver it that way.

[@dingisdongis6917]

I have it on NES and it is still an incredibly difficult game with a controller. I don't think I ever made it past stage 3 when I was a kid.

[@NeoN-PeoN]

Q*Bert is such a damn hard game.

[@Mister_Clean]

Jesus why do the Qbert sound effects destroy my ears? It's like tinnitus, but way worse. Other than that, great run! Edit: I might be hearing your CRT or various extremely high pitched NES noises through my phone's speakers. I didn't know that was possible.

[@ghkillah1995]

No that shit is for real. I hear it and it's excruciating

[@Mister_Clean]

@@ghkillah1995 I'm glad I wasn't going crazy

[@superduty2023]

Unreal athlete

[@christophernewman8741]

I watch Arcus on here on KZbin are these current videos? Seen a few a while back where he had a digital screen in the back ground. Are these old videos? Did he ditch the screen? If you can't tell I don't watch a lot of gamers. Lost

[@Fabian_A86]

You can check the date of the runs in the description. This one in particular... 09/02/2017

[@donlapham1265]

His lives are on Twitch.

[@tinalevan1984]

Hey Arcus, will you speed run one of my favs? Faxanadu Double Dragon II Sky Shark Mega Man 3

[@TheeSocialPariah]

Man, I thought I was good a Marble Madness

[@JediMindTrix420]

Hey Arcus. Just wondering,do you play current gen systems?Or just strictly retro.

[@yongyea4147]

Just NES

[@zerel4042]

[@isac9448]

[@davidpiersonlazarov5562]

[@davidbermudez7704]

[@norbertovalle7928]

My Hero

[@cbonez2909]

Nice run!!!

[@BigDavetheMiddleAgeGamer]

15:34 Is that Abobo?

[@williamblair79]

Probably been asked a bunch. Is Arcus and Orcus the same dude. Just hat and mustache change???

[@Alucard24601]

The Orcus videos are just much older videos of Arcus before he had the look we all know and love nowadays.

[@DABiDo.O]

you're the best.

[@AikisDominator]

Why TMNT was only first 4 levels?

[@Alucard24601]

Rules of the big 20. Most games just have certain goals that need to be achieved

[@Nikkes02]

Once again, good bleeps

[@aarif1177]

[@geoengineering5405]

Jesus Christ loves you

[@RyanCoomer]

I cook gortons fishsticks in the oven than take them with me to Supermarket and sneakly place 1 with note on it by the Cashier and watch them from distance. The note say DO NOT GET AN ABORTIN!!

[@diablos58]

I've just never found speed runs to be impressive. It's not a racing game.

[@yongyea4147]

🤔

[@seanrickards5707]

Unless it's a Speedrun of a racing game...
