[TAS] Genesis Contra: Hard Corps "1 player" by Soig in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2018-12-10
Contra: Hard Corps is the only game of the Contra series released on the Genesis / Mega Drive console. In this game, you get to choose between four characters, each with different abilities and weapons.
This game has four completely different final stages, each with a different ending, depending on the choices you make earlier. This run takes the second quickest path leading to one of these final stages. There are also runs which get the faster secret ending and the best ending.
The Japanese version was chosen because for some reason it gives the players a health bar, allowing them to take some damage without dying.
Fang is used due to a glitch that allows him to deliver fully charged D weapon shots without taking time to charge them.
This movie by Soig ( tasvideos.org/... ) beats his old record by 00:06.88 seconds. To learn more about these improvements, you can read the author's comments.

7:39 how does he hang from the ceiling if his hand is a gun?

[@FNUADEMO]

Good question

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Also his gun changes hands every time you move left or right

[@lunitaproductions8290]

Ah yes, furry cuphead

[@absinthe-minded6089]

Noone treats the scientist like that and certainly noone treats Last Springsteen like that.

[@Weterius]

Gosto muito de contra hard corps ,pois jogava muito no natal e ano novo 😭😭😭, mas que estratégia é essa de jogo que vc fez ? Foi rápido demais , não consigo fazer em 15 minutos impossível

[@blank-ou8vt]

Contra in 60FPS is a blessing for my eyes

[@TechTrendz937]

Best part of this game: The floating C at the end.

[@TtikNoh]

So Fang's D shot can be charged instantly by changing shots?! I never knew

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

that would still be hard to do while dodging some frantic boss's bullets

[@andrecesar4652]

Essa versão japonesa é a melhor que a americana

Wait, why is the audio in mono?

[@Eli_Santin]

The Genesis isn't capable of outputting Stereo audio. The console would need to be modded in order to do that.

[@lunitaproductions8290]

@@Eli_Santin but this shit is an emulator lol

[@bxyhxyh]

@@Eli_Santin google says only model 1 is mono. This game should've come after model 1 right

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Learn the safe spots and this game is easy. Only the BAHAMUT Boss on the 3rd route (after the ocean) doesnt have one

[@jaru4564]

Do you mean the fight where he gets a giant claw from out of nowhere (best ending route)? Because yeah, that one's pretty tough.
