Difficulty: Level 8. No cheats used.
Oh dear god Metal Slug 2 Mission 6. Oh dear god this mission.
OH DEAR GOD WHY.
It's no secret that one life runs of Metal Slug games require a bit of luck: from weapon drops, to hoping random shit doesn't spawn and kill you at the edge of the screen, hoping the boss doesn't use certain attacks when you're out of position, etc. I've always done runs knowing these facts full well, and I've always restarted my runs when I die. Metal Slug 2. METAL SLUG 2. Mission 1-4? Piss easy. Mission 5? Eh, can get annoying at times, but with strategy, I can manage.
Mission 6? HAR HAR HAR.
There are NO failsafe strategies to clearing MS2 Mission 6. There is NO way to guarantee yourself to not die. There is NO way to predict what the many periodically spawning enemies are going to attack with. There are about 5 sections in this mission ALONE that requires a lot of luck to pass in one life for me (The wavy bridge section, Allen O' Neil, the first Grinda-O tank, both final boss phases). I literally needed all the stars to line up correctly, or I'm re recording starting from Mission 1. Yeah, it was horrible. And yes, my life is empty enough to attempt this, for months and MONTHS on end.
Okay, so Mission 6. Let's review it IN DETAIL. Okay, so we start with a pistol. Sure, we do that every mission. Hell, this is Metal Slug 2! You know, the game that treats dying as a slap on the wrist, and allows you to stock around 500+ HMG ammo if you don't die? Well, I got my first power gun pickup FOUR MINUTES into the mission! That's longer than I took to clear Mission 1, with intro and outro! Four minutes is like, 4/15th of the whole mission (according to time).
The way bridge section... this is where the developers reveal that, hey, in actuality, they really, really hate you. There's the sheer unpredictability of the section: paratroopers can spawn anywhere and kill your airbourne ass without warning. Rebels from the other end of the bridge attack you as fast as their animations would allow for. They throw 3 types of projectiles with excellent synergy, interchangeably. And they spawn such that at any given moment there will be 2 on screen until you literally kill them all off. Oh and in case it wasn't obvious enough already, the undulating and constantly moving ground makes dodging AND aiming your attacks damn near impossible: all you can do is to just mash A like crazy and hope it kills the rebels before they get too many attacks off.
Also Allen 'O Neil. In Metal Slug 1, chances are you'd have a Heavy Machine Gun to face him. Metal Slug X, Iron Lizard or the HMG. Metal Slug 3? Freaking Slug vehicles. Metal Slug 4? HMG and firebombs. Metal Slug 7, Slug Gigant. Metal Slug 2? lol pistol lol good luck lol. Oh and mooks to accompany him, because someone that can take 90 .50 Calibre headshots to the skull without even the cushioning of hair needs backup against a dude with a pistol. Freaking genius.
After getting through MORE tricky terrain, you meet Martians for the first time. Now generally they're okay to deal with; just crouch at the corner of a screen and melee their projectiles away. But the melee attacks in Metal Slug 2 is quite poorly programmed to deal with these high speed situations. I always animation cancel myself out of melee strikes and die, or I execute it, HEAR the swish of the melee attack connecting, but die to the projectile I meleed away anyway. Oh and the Martians can attrack in mid air without warning. Pass by one floating in the air and you could very well die. Oh and they give you 2 Shotgun crates, because it's fun to tempt players, apparently. I would pay good money to see someone bring a substantial amount of Shotgun ammo to the boss fights on level 8. Believe me.
And the BOSS BATTLES. Yeah, I recognise that this is an arcade game and developers get more money the more times they kill you. But this I feel should be NO EXCUSE to rely on cheap attacks. The fights are literally undoable without a high stockpile of grenades and curbstomping. It's not fun nor fair. Bosses that spawn minions that have more HP than a Metal Slug attack can deal, fires aimed shots that travel faster than you can run, should NEVER be a good idea. I don't care if they drop lasers. They could drop the months I wasted into practicing and attempting this run and I still wouldn't approve of their existence.
At least the final boss was epic. *grumble grumble*. And the CREDITS. What cocksucking attempt was that at crediting the developers that made this mostly awesome game? Black screen, text floating upwards, insignificant music? And not even a "PEACE FOREVER" text to congratulate us for clearing the game? Either that's a nerfed ending with a "proper" one as some insane unlockable, or the developers really didn't want credit. Shame really, since Metal Slug 1 had quite the sweet credit roll.
I still can't believe I 1 life cleared this game on video. I still can't.

XSquare StickIt I discovered a neat trick that helps you with this leviathan of a final boss. The trick is to stand still in one place (the rightmost side of the platform with the stairs) and DON'T move left or right (you can jump to avoid the Mini-UFO projectiles). This will lock the Girida-O in one place and it will fire the cannons one-shot killing the Mini-UFOs. With luck you another will come so you have two Girida-Os shooting at the center of the laser cannon. You will just focus on the Rugname and the Slug will arrive earlier. Try that.

@alanbareiro6806 9 жыл бұрын

Alan BareiroXSquareS StickIt But if you're lucky to get a Laser Gun, ditch that tactic, start to move and destroy the Mini-UFOs with it. Instead of holding the shootbutton down, just tap it every 0.5 - 1 seconds. This will not only optimize your laser ammo, but you will do like 19 dmg per 4 bullets spent. Amazing for damaging both Rugname and Mini-UFOs.

It's also one of my favorite final bosses in the series mainly because when you reach the second phase of the fight, Morden's soldiers come out and help you fight it

Metal Slug 2 had one of the most hardest and easiest missions, 1-3 were almost too easy, 4 was alright but kind of hard when the martians came in and the buildings would fuck up your shots, 5 was obviously hard but not too hard if you knew what you were doing, and 6 was a big fuck you to anyone playing the arcade lol.

Inside the base you can see multiple copies of Hoizumi in the background, the boss from the previous mission. I think the Metal Slug X videos were deleted but their descriptions went into this a bit... I think the buildup to the aliens is more effective in MS2 compared to MSX. After introducing strange, foreboding stuff in Mission 5, you finally see them inside the rebel base. At first it's only for a moment, leaving the player wondering "what am I up against here?". MSX plays its hand much earlier, with alien cameos in Mission 1 and their very sudden assault in Mission 4. There's much less suspense imo.

Hey, I have a question that I've been meaning to ask any Metal Slug expert like you and I'm wondering if you have the answer. I play my Metal Slug games on Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii and compared to Anthology and the original arcade versions, they both have different difficulty settings. Almost every Metal Slug video I watch uses the old "Level 1 to 8" difficulty and the ports of Metal Slug that I own have Easy, Normal, and Hard as the difficulties. So I'd like to know what does the current-day difficulty settings translate to compared to the old Level 1 to 8 difficulties?

@Elsifan 10 жыл бұрын

I know this comment is six months old but NeoGeo games all ran on a level 1-8 difficulty modifier with level 4 being normal and level 8 being hard so I'm pretty sure normal is level 4 and hard is level 8. Not sure what exact level easy is set but if I remember my NeoGeo machines correctly, I think it's level 1. Also, this is coming from a fellow Metal Slug Anthology (Wii) owner. For comparison, I loaded up the iOS port of Metal Slug 1 and started the game at it's hardest (level 8) and then did the same on Anthology for Hard mode. Both were about the same, didn't notice any differences.

Well to put into context MVS version of MS had 4 difficulties Easy - Level 1 Normal - Level 3 MVS - Level 4 (default arcade difficulty) Hard - Level 6 Later ports like the ps1 version of X and MS3 for the ps2 included Very Hard - Level 8 Unclear wether normal for anthology is level 3 or 4
