Shadow Dancer (Arcade) Speedrun in

If you want to see more Shadow Dancer (Arcade), please check my no shuriken playthrough: • Shadow Dancer (Arcade)...
No death, could be a sub 10 : 50 if I managed to get the jump over the shielded enemy in the 4-3 stage and get the huge trick that despawns at least a dozen of enemies, including the annoying pink ninjas. Beat the previous WR by 1 min 17 sec.
Timer starts after Insert coin & Start, timer ends with the last hit on the Final Boss (when her lifebar completely disappears). Dipswitches shown at the end (Normal difficulty).
Awesome game, much better than the Mega Drive/Genesis version IMO in basically every possible way. More fun for regular playthroughs/1CCs, for speedruns and even for the No Shuriken challenge.
Unfortunately not many people run it due to it being an arcade-only game (the Master System port is terrible).
Played on December 1st 2021.
No save states, no turbo/autofire, no cheats

when games were so simple and when it did not take 10 years to make them due to constant delays and shit and with no DLC greed...btw awesome speed run 😀

[@michaelsetiyawan]

Before Sonic, the ninja was quite popular

[@olivierjansen694]

Best en boss scream ever

[@brunopierre3]

Superb, both capture and gameplay!

[@joemullaley6531]

wow this is totally different from the genesis version

[@rush1er]

My question is... how come people in the 80's always hanging out in the sewers?

[@obiiWan7]

They hang out at even weirder places nowadays

[@silvanopreziosi7266]

Maybe 4 goonies stuff 😂

[@ultimolevel5433]

Very good 👏👏👏

[@Aranmussa]

los ninjas surgireron de guerreros que no alcanzan el rango de samurais en el japon feudal ya que ser samurai era de la realeza, asi que todos los guerros de bajo rango se iniciaron como guerreros de las sombras llamados ninjas

[@joaolucaszonex3745]

Dahora demais ✌😉

[@Severinnoable]

Minute 5:00 the best part of the game was the ninja magic

[@mrkingj2104]

Вот это настоящий ниндзя!

[@guilhermencb]

All that trouble to see a shuttle launch...

[@sefanon-3351]

"The end" Holy shit that was brutal

[@pogonomyrmexrugosus6240]

What was with the 80's obsession with ninjas?

[@matamarcianos7596]

Martial arts, cool costumes, action-packed... they had all to succeed

[@Nikko137]

Exactly!!! I mean why did It stop??

One question; Can someone please translate on what he said on 7:40-7:44,8:50-8:54,and 9:16-9:20 ?

[@Darth_Victrus]

lol

[@Kyo.11]

I guess it's a mantra from buddhism, get an indian at your local store and ask him.

[@one_step_sideways]

​@@Kyo.11comment so ignorant i am not sure if it's even bait or not

[@anibaldk]

This game is nowhere near a worthy continuation of Shinobi. Having said that: well done!!

[@obiiWan7]

Personally, I'd say it's a contender for the best in the series (and this is my favorite game franchise)

[@Kyo.11]

Every hit is a fart

[@clionelascendant8305]

Esta horrible si lo comparamos con su versión del Sega genesis
