Contra III: The Alien Wars 2 player speedrun [

Player 1: Hurblat ( / hurblat )

Watch in high quality and read more detailed comments here: speeddemosarchive.com/Contra3....
A couple of things to note when watching this video:
- KZbin doesn't let me upload it in full frame rate, so a lot of the bullets and projectiles are not showing. This is because they appear only on every other frame to reduce lag in 2 player.
- The deaths in stage 3 are intentional. If only one player is alive when climbing the wall, we save around 15 seconds of lag.
- The deaths in stage 2 and 4 are not intentional, but end up not costing us any time at all.

[@roydavidmerrell]

At first I thought player two was not quite as good until I realized their strategy for that wall climber was for one player. Very nice guys.

[@MayhemicMAD]

Oh my, the memories. 22 years ago I played this game so often with a friend that we started on easy and played trough medium and hard without dying once :) We didn´t take the time though and he died last year from cancer, so yes, damn you life :(

[@WeonDeYutubi]

+Martin Hauck So sad :'(

[@davidg679]

Oh men I felted that 😓

[@LobsterFusion]

Wow! You guys had this down to a science. When I was a kid me and a friend would play this constantly. We weren't going for speed runs but just seeing how awesome we were. We conquered normal mode (no deaths) and when we were going to try mastering hard mode my friend had to move so we never did get to. I never did see that final boss chase you while on the helicopter. That was pretty sweet.

[@hayscourier2320]

your friend never moved you had no friend rookie never even fused a lobster

[@LobsterFusion]

Hahaha!

[@Jagtnkerpdig]

1:30 obligatory posing moment!

[@Hurblat]

That sequence was so made for posing :D

[@Jagtnkerpdig]

Yup!

[@HDiIMAX]

Childhood memories right here!

[@TriangleSmooth]

What's more impressive is how the load times are longer than the actual gameplay.

[@MegaPhilX]

12:58 : The dual-badassery is real

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

I have so much trouble with this game and you two made it look like a piece of cake. Outstanding. (Only player two ever dies lol)

[@Hurblat]

+Lanky macCrazyhair (Quote5) Thanks :)

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

Your welcome! I am amazed by how much practice this must have taken!

[@Hurblat]

+Lanky macCrazyhair (Quote5) It took a ton of practice, but was a lot of fun. I got around to uploading a better run that I had lying around if you want to check it out!

[@lumlee1]

+Lanky macCrazyhair (Quote5) You didn't watch carefully. It was Hurblat (Player 1) that dies in stage 4.

[@lankymaccrazyhair264]

+lumlee oh...

[@Hurblat]

Because we want L for the stage 4 and 5 bosses. In stage 4 because of the range, and in stage 5 because of the reduced lag.

[@TheRealCSH]

5:16 Lending someone your strength at its finest.

[@stewarthayden]

Well there goes my childhood in 12 mins never even ducking finished this game!

[@MegaMrJIN]

Kickass walkthrough speed yo, love it , just masterfull

[@WanderingMindSR]

Manliest co-op speedrun I've seen for sure.

[@imarm0075]

Man!, that brain reminds me the old childhoods!

[@KRS2000]

Part of the ending credits theme reminds me of a small section of the one used in Star Fox 64. That's probably just me though.

[@BuyMeThingsnow]

Great speed run. I like the strategy during the run and gun segments where one player constantly scrolls the screen forward, while the other clears the way of those pesky random runners. Didn't many bombs being used.I'm guessing to avoid lagging the game and creating additional time?

[@neptune4200]

13:00 *Bad-ass soldiers*

[@denardoellisjr]

[@TheRealCSH]

[@kuanlee6294]

They're so good they are almost in perfect sync with each other

[@stllbreathnbut_y1844]

Contra 3, the perfect game. It’s like if the Terminator, Rambo, and Aliens got mixed together.

[@kayin4o8]

@1:30 gotta do the pose!!!!!

[@magichaostuff1273]

14:00 for pure, unadultered Badassery

[@leojones22]

[@oscarlobaton979]

You guys make this game seems easy in hard mode xD

[@weetbixkid2051]

[@KRS-eq5dp]

[@richardsdead]

[@richardsdead]

[@amorpatriaenostralex3822]

Which difficulty Was this? Never hard. Bit still awesome gameplay!

[@alizam88]

6:30 Boss: WTF? I did not get a single attack out.

[@josemendoza5021]

3 second xD!

[@thugnyc]

Got a question tho, if you guys have not used the speed shooting exploit then how long would it take for you to clear it?

[@ReisSns]

There's NO armor brain or true final in easy/normal mode...stop complaining about it. xD

[@bigtadi23]

great speedrun

[@Jhonnywmr]

8:36 allow me to introduce my...

[@yuriridley8144]

[@jadencannotsingh]

At the end where the brain climbs the rib, thing, it's so F-ING creepy!

[@elvampe13]

Have you seen some of the bosses from the sequels, Contra Hard Corps and Shattered Soldier? Those are even freakier!

[@jadencannotsingh]

I've seen those, THOSE ARE SO HORRORFYING I PISSED MYSLF!!!!!!!!!! 😱

[@DiceMasterChannel]

4x Crush as weapons AND fast switching That's not even funny. But its AWESOME :D

[@deidara1215]

WOW really nice! where can I get these Themes?

[@RubenHernandez-bh9wd]

Still can't get over how horribly drawn the characters are between levels with the guns held awkwardly under their arms! Lol

[@justinosborne5280]

Contra 3 had a lot better graphics and sound compared to the first two Contra games.

[@laurarojas1271]

[@katogojira7223]

Cool pose in the beginning

[@TheArtofUTube]

6:29 final boss for Mass Effect 2 a human reaper.

[@someonespecial1329]

how do you do that spin attack that makes you shoot in 8 directions at the same time???

[@lumlee1]

+MarioLuigi7979 Hold L+R bumper together, and press the fire button. Rather useless move that will make you lose both your weapons if you get killed.

[@Simon0]

+lumlee but at least it looks cool which counts for something. do you sirronlionheart? Hilarious lper did a run of this game give ti a look.

[@lumlee1]

+Simon0 Nvr like to watch commentary videos. That is why I myself is one of the the few who record without commentary

[@m4t173]

Bosses: i'm gonna kill u motherfuckers *1 second later* WTF HAPPENED DUDE

[@bradhedgehog12]

Where’s a partner for my Contra game when I want one?

[@fabiopalma4429]

you are too good

[@GantugsSuhkbaatar]

Why did he killed himself from EP3?

[@moodman1151]

To save a few seconds of lag

[@WhosTheLevii]

so fk awesome! and when i play it on easy with my cousin i think i am so pro when we got to level 3 and when i watched this vid. i thought ''i suck''

[@user-rz9iz7hg9s]

nice action

[@zenx28]

Damn u guys are dope

[@spazmar]

LOL! Did Player 1 tea bag the boss of stage 5 @ 10:08?

[@ilikegameswithnopcplayersc6630]

Who is player 1 and who is player 2

[@roditbatra894]

You people. Have completely Deteriorated the quality of this game .

[@YXiao]

never played this before...do you get invincibility when switching weapons?

[@3Vi141i3N]

no you don't. you can just shoot twice the amount of bullets whith constantly switching weapons while holding down Y to shoot

[@BuyMeThingsnow]

3Vi141i3N Note this only really applies to non rapid weapons. The idea is that for weapons that have a cool down (crush guns, which can only fire a few volleys at a time), you can negate the pause by switching weapons.

[@richardchase8965]

That's the only thing i hate about this game is the over head shooting

[@teejaynumber13]

I notice they keep switching their weapons back and forth. Is that a trick to increase RoF or something?

[@Hurblat]

Yep, that's why! Firing one weapon while the other reloads/is on cooldown.

[@teejaynumber13]

I don't see a reload/cooldown indicator on this game.

[@michaelstingpillaca5964]

OSMG BEAUTIFUL GAME SAPE

[@chrism7340]

[@stealthstar4]

La Dignidad If you don't know what you are talking about, don't comment! It's in HARD!!! They are just working together. Bosses do certain things on HARD, I can tell. I looked over it carefully. But don't be fooled, these bosses are HARD if you don't know what you are doing.

[@GaetanoProchilo1989]

DAMN!!

[@chad8475]

This proves that Nintendo was better than Sega.

[@youngballer26]

I'm on level seven my dad gave me the game system and catrage

[@rezneba101]

why no death at 12:48 ???

[@Hurblat]

When lying down, the player character's hitbox is much smaller (there's only a small part of the arm where you can get hit) than when standing or jumping.

[@brunobn6885]

eu gostava desse jogo cara

[@ninjacon7299]

Lets see you try it again on solo mode. :/

[@Hurblat]

I have a video of a 14:42 hard mode single player run on my channel if you want to take a look!

[@waynewynnx7976]

Player one definitely looks like a hyper who needs fidget spinner 🤣

[@cursedlight8318]

No player 2 T^T

[@dessiebreedlove8430]

nice

[@neogeok2]

hard difficulty???

[@stealthstar4]

MASTER DEL RETRO Yes! They are just working together. Bosses do certain things on HARD. I can tell. I looked over it carefully. But don't be fooled, these bosses are HARD if you don't know what you are doing.

[@mancebo1081]

09:11 es mode easy...en mode hard los misiles salen disparados a gran velocidad y no lento en fila de cuatro

[@Sanaefroggy]

+Mancebo En easy no sale el jefe con armadura al final, y ademas el primer sub jefe del stage 3 no saca el taladro en easy. y ademas en easy salen 4 diferentes que pueden salir en el cerebro en vez de 8. Y otra cosa, los misiles estan a alta velocidad, en easy y normal casi nunca se ponen de fila de cuatro, eso es mas comun en hard.

[@elcharry2610]
