Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts Speedrun in

Split timing is nico. -- Watch live at / jay_cee

[@setitfree78]

By watching your speed run I got to finally see the further levels of the game. I never got that far when I was younger. Incredible.

[@darylbauer5783]

I effing hate this game. I'm glad he's having to suffer through it. I made it to the end many many times thinking ok I'll go all the way back through it again and then just couldn't stomach it.

[@Xyria.]

I did it finally the feeling of happiness u get is extraordinary

[@st4ndby]

Haha can relate

[@ericwood3709]

@@darylbauer5783 I could not imagine being faced with that. It was enough time and effort getting through the Castlevania games one time.

[@darylbauer5783]

@@ericwood3709 man I still hate this game to this day. I won't ever play it again.

Arthur's rescue commissions: he'll be there in 32 minutes or less, if not it's free

[@eddiedelreal4792]

12:46 just insane. And the fact that your having a conversation with the viewers while playing is just crazy

[@ericwood3709]

The guy is a mad speedrunning prodigy.

[@zzzhuh]

How did the game no consider any of that a hit? He clearly jumped right through one of the ice sickles and i swear he hit one of the flying demons dudes. Maybe Japanese has a different hit box?

[@sugipulaboule]

Holy shit, I remember watching you 7 years ago. Can't believe you still exist. Awesome!

[@jay_cee583]

I remember you too. Good old LP days :)

[@nickx3869]

As a kid I felt so good when I finally beat it only to realize you had to do it again to get real end. I felt so defeated lol.

[@caiuscosades6423]

This makes Dark Souls look like a gen 6 pokemon game

[@mark030a]

Maybe not Dark Souls 3 but yeah.

[@moonunit28]

Amazing WR run and very well deserved! Congratulations Jay_Cee 🍾

[@PAUL-69420]

Nice one JC, been watching for last few months, great to see you got the WR. Had a go at this myself and it's super tough

[@jakeh2034]

Okay, I'm subbed just for this speed run. I watch Jame & Mike play it terribly on repeat to the point I want to play it just to get good. Can't wait to watch future runs from ya, summoning salt videos made me a fan.

[@digitalworms]

Awesome run bro! It really makes me happy that retro gaming is alive and well! These games deserve to be kept alive forever!

[@earlr.2761]

AWESOME JOB, MAN!!!!! YOU HAD THE EYE OF THE TIGER WHEN YOU SAW SARDIUS AND INSTANTLY SHOOK THE ENTIRE EARTH.

[@washdog5416]

Amazing, great job, my man!

[@RyanRakowski]

I can’t even get past the first level without dying and this dude...

[@BPond7]

One of my absolute favorite SNES games. Amazing gameplay! 🖖😀

[@brandonmcgillis]

I had this game when I was 4 , used to put it in and the farthest I got was the the end of the first level , I was 8 by the time I could do that haha , such a hard game

[@solidsergen]

Congratulations, JC!

[@amyann9533]

Impressive run, gg ! You deserved it :D

[@ThEwAvEsHaPa]

great work JC. tough grind but you got it dude.

[@TheRenegade503]

I watched this on the toilet and it helped squeeze out some extra bricks 🧱 thank you

[@5dollarshake263]

JC you are so wholesome. Also your skills in this game are reeedickulous.

[@apoena-allnitemusic7203]

Parabéns Man! Zerei hoje, jogão!

[@budaksdo]

congrats. i just picking up this game and still stuck on the first level. this is unbelievable!!!!

[@Furiouspaul]

nice work! JC will be the king of past WRs of many great games! A SM WR would be insane.

[@alisson_302]

Nice run!!!

[@Halfface90]

Insane run dude! XD

[@magestikal4567]

Epic! Just beat this for the first time, so hard but so fun.

[@nilz91]

not quite sure if its the singing, or the speed runs that got me hooked at looking at his other runs. anyways subbed, liked and shared.

[@SpunkyDunk]

I'll never get over how the jumping and landing noises sound like a typewriter to me.

[@Stefan-gb7fs]

This is unbelievable! Respect!

[@CitizenZero1]

Congrats, man! I never made it past the second boss with the ring. Ahh, the memories.

[@nolanmcsparran]

It took me a 3 days of keeping the snes on to beat just that boss. (In College)

[@prestonparish]

Just incredible. 😮

[@Mont.Cristo]

You played this thing the all life to do it! Today i waste my all day to beat this game. And i died every stage

[@eljugadorescaldenc4002]

I love how he sings! Plus he plays like a boss!

[@waldoarmagon6015]

I would like to thank you to motivate me to finish this game. As if I use a replay to change instantly my gaming style. I'm so happy to finish this game more than ten years after. 😊. Not so fast but with so much pleasure.

[@flexhard7799]

i love the regular casual humming along with the tunes =)

[@flexhard7799]

Snow tune is the best one from this game imo

[@flexhard7799]

Nice bro !!!

[@boodro2122]

I consider myself good at this game, but DAYUM! This is so good, it looks like a tool assisted speed run! Lol I used to watch this guy on Twitch when I had it....Very fun to watch Jay Cee play SG&G

[@UCs6ktlulE5BEeb3vBBOu6DQ]

About the CRT being dangerous: Its literally a car ignition coil that's in there. You can jerry rig a discharging thingy with a flat screwdriver and a wire. Its nothing once you see someone do it once. After that its just a vaccum sealed photon bulb with magnetic guiding rings and a motherboard.

[@reubengariby9199]

Wow! You’re the man!

[@hansapils4889]

Today i have finished it with my friend together while drinking beers ,we felt so proud beating it. Knowing all the spots to get the chests with the jumping spots is key :)

[@hansapils4889]

Btw that worm kill on stage III was genious dude

[@fotozero]

this will never not be awesome

[@legorearick1312]

I'm watching this video for the first time and I gatta say you're very good at this game ghoul's n Ghosts

[@carloslaroque]

God damn it man, I love all yours run, amazing, you're the best

[@kevinfishburne]

Other than the capacitors leaking (they can be replaced / "re-capped"), CRTs last a while. Only the older ones hold a death charge.

[@Arizona9001]

Bro is speedrunning the hardest game ever.

[@frednicolas3811]

Finished it, but wow, stylish. I concede

1991

[@raps9596]

You are very skilled!!! Congrats :)

[@jsrosete84]

played this in the late 90s. it took me more than 4 hours to reach the "end boss" which turned out to be not the end boss. it threw me back to the first level asking me to gather something and i just gave up.

[@hetroc]

Impresionante

[@EvolvingFetus]

Great run. How long have you played this game or practiced it? Thanks as it will help my speedrunning career in general :)

[@jay_cee583]

October 2019 is when i started learning the speedrun, but i did maybe 5 playthroughs between 2012 and then.

[@EvolvingFetus]

@@jay_cee583 sick, thanks for the reply. I think you are just superhuman then. Congratz on the victory, good to see you happy. :)

[@adamg4754]

This game haunted me as a kid because I could never get past the 3rd level. I ended up giving my Super Nintendo away and didn't get another one until I was an adult and I specifically went and looked for this game so I could try it again. It took me a while but I beat it and now I can die happy 😊

[@jimijames27]

I tried to pull the back off a CRT. It shocked me...that is all I will say about that.

[@Backintoons8515]

You just have to memorize this game! After that everything easy ! This game very addictive!

[@Umi_Oni]

This game looks so beautiful and well made... but nobody would ever know bc Capcom forgot to pull their punches

[@criticando2882]

loook at this guy fingers damn i can't las 1 minet playing like that

[@pepperjack2879]

Very cool game

[@sleeptime5464]

My watching your speed run I was able to see past the tsunami part in the first level.. never got any further than that lol

[@dippydog21]

Is it on professional? Very impressive either way.

[@JulianPope]

Is that controller holding style typical for speedrunners?

[@4L3XS4UR10]

Same qüestion here

[@jay_cee583]

Probably not. It's my personal preference due to the way we mash shoot with two buttons in this game.

[@alexanderdickens2517]

It's pretty hard to get the triple-dagger timing without having access to both fire buttons.

[@ComputerGrave]

It took me years to beat this game

[@obi-potobi790]

Great gaming. S'a tough game.

[@matteocicaloni]

You are a monster...

[@randomtask9643]

LOL @ the names of the time stamps. "and these fucknuts" hahahahhaha

[@NickEdan]

which rom do you use ? my game laggs like sh*t. every level

[@jay_cee583]

It's the super famicom cartridge. The type of rom doesn't change anything, you have to strategize for lag reduction. Reduce sprites, kill extra things as you go, break the shield when in gold armor, avoid using extra magic charges, etc. and your game will lag less.

[@homejonny9326]

Please, how do you get so good at this game??

[@kae2855]

i actually had an alt ending. mine said i had to find the bracelet.. i killed the green king with a bow and arrow. maybe because i didn’t get the blast super power in the end? i am playing on the snes nintendo switch system (idk if that makes a difference :/)

[@FantasyYeet]

The original dark souls

[@ItsSaNcHeZ_10]

How do you practice in this game for do this speed run bro?

[@jay_cee583]

I use sd2snes. It's a special cartridge that'll hook up your snes to your PC and practice with save states, until you're ready to put the original cart back in and do full runs without saves.

[@nickwilburn3166]

"Sense" isn't common either

[@mora503]

Great jorb jayc!

[@FantasyYeet]

I couldnt even make it to the water....as a kid.....even now as an adult lmao

[@xxbad_acidxx0079]

Bonkers

[@michaelsalazar2526]

Best game ever 😊

[@mikeshafer]

This game is fucking impossible, but it's a lot of fun too. I'm blown away by how well you play this game. Please teach me!

[@1OldPacman]

Mannnn that music

[@moolacue]

Still play this, and damn. Cool to see later levels...lmao

[@PSYCHO_MIKEOS_PsycHO...Path86]

You only played half the game though... What's your time with both playthroughs?

[@JFinns]

Great run... it's shocking how slow this Snes version is compared to the much smoother/faster Genesis release. Nicer artwork here though.

[@jay_cee583]

You're absolutely right, although in a strange way I like what the lag does to the game. I like how it slows down when it gets more crowded so you can make better decisions, and I like how it adds a sort of balancing act dynamic to the speedrun, trying to reduce the most lag while keeping the maximum pace. The genesis run is a lot of fun too. It runs so well, so it doesn't have that same dynamic, but it does have plenty of others, and it's only half the length due to the design and the speed, which can be a breath of fresh air.

[@vincentcoreyfrommilford9061]

Snes version piss above the head of genesis version,snes is a best console for ever.

[@edgarpadilla6791]

How do you prepare for your runs?

[@jay_cee583]

Save states, practice, and frame counts. Those three alone will get you to the top of most game leaderboards today.

[@ACLMSC]

Still looks impossible... Great run!

[@earlspencer7863]

CRT repair isn't really that bad. Lots of videos show you how to take safety precautions to discharge the capacitors.

[@PsyGuy82]

How do you stop Astaroth from walking into you when you run behind him?

[@jay_cee583]

Stay crouched. He'll walk a bit less. Same for Nebiroth. AI in this game is very strange.

[@JBentham1523]

Just casualy beat the game and record while reading and talking. Sorry to see you got beat by 4 sec, is it possible to do better ?

[@jay_cee583]

Oh yeah, it could go a lot more. This run's first loop alone was ten seconds slower than my previous run. And it could go another 10-15 seconds in the 2nd loop if I ever come back and decide to bring out some dangerous big boy strats.

[@yeahtbh.161]

How is the record 15 minutes now?

[@SylvEdu]

Can anyone explain to me why every speedrun of this game involves playing all of the levels twice?

[@BenRai2k]

Because in order to reach the final boss, you need to get the special goddess bracelet which is only available in the second play through of stages.

[@MrSelkies]

When you beat the game the first time, the game's like "hey you didn't really beat the game, ha!" because this game is the hardest and trolliest game of all time.
