Ninja Gaiden by The Retro Runner in

[@TheRetroRunner]

Just wanna say that I really appreciate all the support from everyone. I try very hard to bring next lev gameplay everytime I showcase this game, and while it definitely didn't pan out the way I wanted to, I am happy if anyone was entertained by this. I tried my best to keep it light and fun. Thanks again everyone for the kind words and being in this one with me 🤘

[@araisnazarian]

Retrorunner dont be upset about this stuff. Obvously you are one of the best and you had a good run. The important thing is that you manange to make a entertaining video. I really enjoyed it. Things just happen and its not that important.

[@professoryorick5676]

were not robots; were only humans. mistakes happen! (:

[@MetalOnMetal]

I saw your Death patch on your jacket : don't worry about the run not going well, you know about The Sound of Perseverance ;)

[@devilpantsu]

Don't feel even a little bit bad, sometimes Ninja Gaiden just Does That to people

[@coolpapabell22]

Looked like next level gameplay to me. Hard game is hard and this category just makes it harder lol.

[@curt7140]

Mad respect for continuing despite the disappointment that’s the mark of a strong man. Loved the run.

[@derekcline950]

Some of my favorite GDQ runs have been those that struggle. It really illustrates how hard some of these runs and how talented the runners

[@mikeytappe]

During practicing this, Retro got the world record in this category. I could see he was disappointed but this is a tough run!

[@Kevinsyel]

Casual WR during practice, then Hammer bros and Demon troll... You are amazing TRR! Proud to be a Retro Shredder and a First Knight of the Retro Shredders!

[@gunnarthomas3824]

You are a gem to the retro gaming community. Always kind, caring, and fun! Thanks for everything you do RETRO RUNNER.

[@edibleapeman]

If any GDQ game is going to kick somebody's ass, it's gonna be Ninja Gaiden. Good on ya for sticking it out.

[@BleedThe90s]

Unbreakable Determination.

[@bmeht]

This is a brutally difficult run. Dying to demon is normally an instant reset; there is no backup. Props for keeping your composure, adjusting strats on the fly, and getting it done. Much love TRR.

[@IllegallySighted]

Wow! This is still an amazing run. I still can't beat this damn game. I've gotten to the final bosses, but can't seem to be the second one. Very fun run to watch. Nice job!

[@RelatosDeUnReploid]

Nothing but RESPECT

[@drek7361]

Fun fact - “ye olde” is pronounced “the old”. Thank you for your attention

[@knucklebuster8757]

amazing run by an awesome runner! this game is brutal, and he proved why he's the best! GG TRR!

[@Simte]

That's commitment! 🔥

[@Inubito]

HE WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE. Love you brother.

[@alyssakollgaard8526]

We love TheRetroRunner!!!

[@lpvgs-817]

10:50 hell nah did I just see where the mishimas got there up foward 4'4''4'4'4' from? Great run!

[@JLH111176]

the run back to the final boss was so insane I could never finish this game

[@gippan]

Great work!

[@Chadius]

That demon is a pile of RNG, this run is awesome!

[@Lum2022]

Hardest game I’ve ever *played.* The nightmare of playing in front of a huge audience, the pressure.

[@betterinsodapop]

TRR is quite literally the Ninja Gaiden GOAT. Dude is speedrunning royalty. Tough break, but still put on a great show.

[@Sekiria23]

I had to head to work by the time he died to the Demon while just over estimate. So glad to see he managed to finish; I was wondering if he did or not.

[@alphaenemyplus8376]

LOZCardsfan should do the play by play for all speedruns

[@wheelzNcards]

Heck of a run!

[@duotran7956]

Awesome run!

[@Dracowinges]

🍿🍺 Let's rock!

[@zidarose]

Once more from the top. That's Ninja Gaiden.

[@RaccoonWithMatches]

Man I forgot how brutal and punishing this game can be - a great run

[@ChoobsX]

Tough run, esp with all you can eat Demon shrimp. Perfect showcase of how those at the top of their game have off days. That was the intent, right? 😄

[@thatsthething778]

Keep on trucking!

[@Polterguist]

You know the game is hard when a runner struggles.

[@Renoistic]

He got further into the game in four minutes than I ever did even with a Game Genie haha

[@Movie_Games]

What controller is he using?

[@TheRetroRunner]

@@Movie_Games it's a sacred oils controller. I don't think I can post links here, but you can google it.

[@Euclid_girlie]

Retro runner is a respectable man and an incredible Ninja gaiden runner.

[@hcpnator]

Why is the music so low? Such a banger OST!

[@kyouninja]

PLEASE TEAM NINJA, MAKE NINJA GAIDEN 4!

[@Gida-cx9fc]

A real speed run💯🤣🤣💯💪

[@hissatsu4937]

Fantastic run all the way up to the demon and then everything fell apart sadly

[@KornPop96]

Damn bro, that sucks.

[@mklip2001]

Why doesn't he try to attack the tail of the final demon? It seems like it would be a good marathon-safety strat. Way to hold it together on a super impressive run.

[@pduboside]

Because he's mashed that demon successfully over 30,000 times before 😅

[@alexgrunde6682]

It’s a trade off. The longer it takes to beat the demon, the more likely it is to get bad RNG with the scorpion spawns. So there’s better returns on the quick method and hope you get good RNG.

[@TheRetroRunner]

In any%, this is a very fair observation, but in low%, you're getting to the demon with very little health, and 3 health or less is a 1 hit KO situation. I've never actually died to the demon in low%😅 so I was very unprepared for that particular fact, struggled with my mash under pressure, and also got some unfortunate aggro patterns from the demon. Thanks so much for the support and interest in this horse pill of a run to swallow 😂

[@xSayPleasex]

@@alexgrunde6682 It's not really fun in a speed-running sense but if you are actually cautious attacking the demon you really can dodge all the shrimp. edit: This is in no way a dig at the run. Retro is a BEAST.

[@jeichem]

Game was not hard already or anything. Holy cow.

[@Kitsune81]

Me thinking why this vid is so long, he's already at the boss after 15 min... ...oh.... oh geeze.... oh no... oof
