Bionic Commando NES any% speed run in

[@jonlandry3751]

I played this game my entire childhood on NES, never have I seen anything like this run!!! Holy ISH! Nice work!!

[@thepuppetmaster9813]

When I was younger I couldn't even beat level 1

[@ImperishableDani]

This is an absolutely incredible run. It shows how amazing the swinging mechanics are. Full of depth and many ways to go about the levels in quick or stylish ways. I love this game and really wish somebody would make a spiritual successor

[@valechec9665]

Congratulations, sir. Love this game and love watching you burn through it like this.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Man, I can't stop watching this. I really hope you're feeling different as you receive the blessings from your comrades.

[@DweezilBubbadown]

Thank you so much for doing a speed run without having to put your face in the corner! I enjoy watching speed runs much better when I don’t have to listen to the player talk or see their face.🎉

[@ImperishableDani]

My favorite piece of amazing translation is "ah, the kid who was here before. I never thought I'd see you here."

[@mr.pavone9719]

As bad as their grammar was, CapCon did a really good job of telling a story with their games. This and Strider had good cutscenes.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

I've always liked "If that's what. You want."

[@ImperishableDani]

@@mr.pavone9719 after playing a more direct translation direct English translation of the japanese version, I can safely say this story is awesome and pretty innovative in some aspects.

[@PaladinLarec]

My best when I was a teenager was around the 30 minute mark. You shattered that for sure. Amazing job.

[@bobtheduck]

"So, can we have a game where you blow up Hitler's head with a bazooka?" "No, that's too offensive. Change his name, then it will be OK."

[@hfcriske]

Such a gem, happy to stumble across this run of one of my childhood favourite games :)

[@__2561]

Still better storytelling than all of the MCU movies

[@superrazor7617]

Shut up

[@Xxandrew01]

Ain't that the truth?

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

This was nuts. You took every impossible chance and made it work every time. Bravo.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Seriously, your Area 10 skills are beyond both reproach and comparison.

[@_woobs8560]

Pj, love what you do, and i always look forward to your content. Especially, the commentated videos. thank you!

[@ImperishableDani]

Incredible how much you have the movement down to a science

[@CEEPMDEE]

This game was always one of my favorites on the NES. I beat the game many times but never did a speedrun.

[@joedent3323]

Speed Running: taking every last bit of fun out of every game.

[@mxx720]

On the Area that requires the 3-way cannon to enter, you can take down the wall, evacuate, then parachute back in with the rocket. Though I'm not sure if the time it takes to do that is more than the time saved on the boss.

[@TheSuperSNES]

You're correct! On this version, it is ~4 seconds slower (I think....maybe it was 2 seconds?) to exit and use the rocket launcher vs having a very good stage clear with the 3-way shot (if you get the boss manipulation). On the JP version, the text in the menus is fast enough that it is actually just about the same speed to use rocket launcher.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Funny to think that you woke Master-D from a long sleep and yet somehow he knew about the Albatross.

[@williamcunningham1614]

Wow!. Excellent. Well done.

[@WilhelmFreidrich]

I still haven't gotten the pendant

[@paulregan5888]

not fair, it took me so many hours and months and years to beat this game

[@ClipsbyDaylight-xd6tm]

What do you mean not fair? This dude didn't do this first try or something lol He's spent countless hours practicing every single detail of this game just for this one perfect run.

[@Thenineoh]

1:58 lol the boss music doesn't even have a chance to really play before the fight's over

[@LeonMadrid]

Better ending than phantom pain

[@BarthelemyLesaint]

The first video game I ever finished... Was like 8 or something, couldn't speak English and internet was science fiction.

[@Your_Degenerate]

9:24 sweet grappling

[@metaldyldo3662]

I cannot figure out how the doors to the boss rooms are open even though you are not communicating.

[@TheSuperSNES]

In area 5, just entering the communicator room fulfills the requirement. In most of the other areas (1, 4, 8 at least), you need to actually use the computer.

[@Rhythmicons]

Joe, this cutscene is screwing up my time. Tell us about all this later.

[@RanRan-y5k]

I love the megaman music

[@deancoronado4898]

This picture at the end is 31 years ago as of last night...!

[@ElementiaYT]

This is insane…

[@Rhythmicons]

You glitched through the spikes?

[@l34ssl3oost]

Incredible run!!

[@MichaelHunt-eo8kb]

There’s no doubt in my mind this is a TAS run.

[@violetninja]

Doesn't look like it to me, there were a couple times he screwed up. Look at @10:30, the runner completely whiffed grappling that ledge. That would never ever happen in a TAS run.

[@otavioxavier9652]

Brilliant. I hope you see this: there is some time saving possible in stage 7. Drop the barrier, exit the level and reenter with rocket launcher. Boss will be quicker.

[@TheSuperSNES]

It is actually ~4 seconds slower to exit and use the rocket launcher because the dialogue and stage entry is so slow. On the Japanese version, the text is much faster and the rocket launcher strat is only ~1.5 seconds slower, but it is still slower.

[@otavioxavier9652]

@@TheSuperSNES Thank you! I have the japanese cartridge (had to figure everything out myself over a couple of years) so I thought it would be better. You are a master. This is my favorite NES game and I still play it (I have bought it in 1990). Let me ask you: how do you do the "jumps" from the floor? I use down when in the air for that effect, but would not work on the floor (Radd would kneel).

[@TheSuperSNES]

@@otavioxavier9652 Thanks! Always happy to hear that others love this game. ^_^ The little hops from the floor are the same as the ones you're doing in the air, just quicker (unless you're noticing the hops from the springboards in levels 6 and 9). I'm pressing down just a few frames after starting a swing (or in the case of the backwards hop, on the same frame that I start a swing).

[@otavioxavier9652]

30 years and I still learn new things about this game! Thank you very much indeed!

[@IaeyanElyuex]

He's so fast they don't even have time to aim!

[@brucecampbell6698]

Whats the world record any % speedrun for this game?

[@TheSuperSNES]

This

[@Patashu]

Beasted it!

[@mr.pavone9719]

Let me get this straight. BC is flying over an enemy truck so he decides to land, dismount the helicopter then fight his way through the enemy so he can GET IN their truck and fly away? WTF?

[@TheSuperSNES]

Sometimes it's just about sending a message to the enemy.

[@stats7777]

My best time is 34:45 so you are very strong only 3 miss move , you can make better.

[@wargueta666]

this game was hard AF !!!!

[@JohnnyLt]

Nobody is going to talk about the final is hitlerr?

The *best* urn.

Aim at the cock......pit ahahaha @ 13:00

[@mariowario5945]

Is this game considered a metroidvania?
