TAS HD: Genesis Contra - The Hard Corps "Best Ending" in

Publication: tasvideos.org/1...
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.
In this movie the author takes 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.

Guys before the final bad guy: "cant we just show up and shoot him to death?" "NO! You must dance a coordinated dance and impress him with that first! Or else how am I supposed to show him how awesome I am?"

[@treehann]

Fang is that one character that confused me as a kid, so I never picked him. I'm still convinced that playing him is playing on Hard mode (and Brownie is Easy).

He is a Cyborg part man part wolf

The American version of the game has no healthbars and its HARD AS FUCK

[@PandaPapurika]

michael bay love this game

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

2:14 I love the lower section of the background in this area - I'm guessing they did that with a 'Mode 7' style effect because there is simply no way they could have had so many layers of lights scroll past otherwise.

[@Insertmiddlefinger]

The plane at the ending sounds like a helicopter... Something tells me the game designers screwed up at some point...

[@AndrewBlechinger]

When the stage 2 music kicks in at 2:10, all I can think of is Kajetokun's "GOTCHA BITCH"

[@RockandMetal645]

BULLSHIT! Why does the Japanese version have health bars? This is like how the Japanese version of the First Contra game had the stage select code. Holy fricken crap dude. For once, the American version of some game has it harder than the Japanese version.

[@wildthunder009]

The enemies are also much weaker.

[@AppleOtto1]

try to compare ninja gaiden 3 versions. you'll be pissed.

[@RockandMetal645]

NES Ninja Gaiden 3 or the new Ninja Gaiden 3?

WELL FUCK! I took a look at it like you said... I'm utterly pissed off.

King of this game

[@tyronejones1398]

The best ending is literally The Badass Ending imo. I just got this ending by watching this video. (I also used cheat codes because I suck.)

[@feosTAS]

самое крутое ощущение лично для меня было - глядя на первые найденные тасы считать что это в реальном времени и впадать в эйфорический ступор. с тех пор такого кайфа, уже зная методы создания, я не испытывал.

[@archv6539]

+Maxwel Paradise Well the D weapon, the charged blast doesn't happen in an instant, so there's definitely some sort of cheat involved, because really it should NOT blast with full power without charging it...

[@meeeeeeauuuuuuuu]

not a cheat what hes doing is to switch between weapons ... first shot is already charged .... so everytime he shoots .. he switches back to same weapon again ..

[@scanline]

my best friend and i beat this game without dying after like 15 times of beating it together on the american version years ago we felt like champs when we did that the 2 player version you have to have mad communication skills

[@SynthesizedThemes]

Hey man, that is awesome. I wish I could beat this game with a friend, none of them have the same dedication I do. You're right about communication too

[@vickyjaiswal3820]

How the Fang use "D" fire continuously ??? Meanwhile it takes 3seconds to load...

[@ShinOnigashima]

Fire the B weapon, but as soon as you see Fang's arm stretch, pause, switch to D and unpause. Hope I explained it well XD

[@gunma747j]

Wait this is how instant charge weapon d works?

[@Lex_ttt]

спасибо за ответ дружище и разъяснение! всегда приятно с такими людьми общаться! TAS это хорошо, ну то есть смотреть и офигевать, такое вытворяют и такие глюки используют что даже я и про них не знал никогда

Awesome! Man ! I'm Chinese and I play Japanese version before, the US version is really fucking hard ,so far I never seen anyone can play speedrun on US version.....

[@CallofDutyBlackOps28]

+Haochen Zhu to me i was always "no wonder why it's called Hard Corps" for the US version, I didn't know there was a version with a health bar!

Unless, you actually enjoy Contra Force and Legacy of War.

[@eraser0artem]

Hard Corps: in addition to unlimited continues and healthbar, we gave also 70 lives cheat-code

[@Magus12000BC]

The SFC version of Contra 3 also had a 30 lives code.

Beat this game thousands of times, co-op with my bro, all paths all endings !! Btw I have this japanese version on cartridge ( still working) ... never seen the english one ??!?!

[@piyushmohapatra4912]

I have the English one

[@gunma747j]

Woah never knew you can instant charge weapon d like that

[@feosTAS]

ну есть свои нюансы и сложности. тасеры же стремятся до последнего кадра оптимизировать проху по скорости, а это включает безумное количество тестов любой мелочи и ее вариантов, а также просчитывание стратегий. вобщем как шахматы, только визуально приятнее. рекомендую еще посмотреть тасы категории Playaround.

[@TheMugen006]

In merica version soo hard! bcz dont have health bars :C

[@sec713]

@azgalorazgalor17 you hold the button down. It charges up like Mega Man's Megabuster.

[@tsc2121]

Oh please, I've beat this game with no deaths.

[@Dystnine]

Only in the Japanese version. PAL version had the most censorship, though.

[@lmillustrator]

You mean LIFE bars, and they removed the life bar in the EU and American versions of the game.

[@alexgameryt2818]

dude i like this robot giant IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!

[@AegisArthas]

More like every monster seems to have way more HP making them harder to kill

[@BlideTH]

Well, my most liked ending with TAS. That was cool ^__^ Anyway, how did you get always fully charged D-weapon? is this a cheat or a glitch?

[@brunodimaggio9946]

A glitch, when You switch the B weapon to D one

[@brunodimaggio9946]

It's Also a way to cheat Because is an OP gun

[@ThisIsYourGodNow]

How come after beating the scientist you ended up on a boat rather than in the alien infest labs?

[@breaktube]

man...they did it !! * never used the DOG before *

[@cellP8]

that slide is op

[@feosTAS]

во-первых, автор не я. во-вторых, это не просто прохождение, а заранее созданная последовательность кнопок, проигранная уже потом в генсе. а уж методы создания таких последовательностей кнопок (input log) - инструменты rerecording эмулятора (собсна перезаписи, фрэйм адванс, просмотр памяти игры и тд) - это то что называется TAS. дальше сам.

[@DevilsMarker]

omfg... how can you charge the last weapon that fast? O_O

[@TokeBoisen]

You don't. You switch over from the second weapon after firing that one. The animation carries over, and it tricks the game into thinking you've charged the last weapon.

[@g.e.m.channel1871]

music by michiru yamane!!! and others... contra and Castlevania , the best...

[@DobieMeltfire]

Wait a min! this contra have live bars?!? Is it this version or the US version got too?!?

[@gunma747j]

No

[@fudoji001]

Why wont anyone do a TAS run on the US version?

[@TwanTries]

Was Fang really this op in this game lol

[@Goxx9999]

yeah cause your fighting for strategies!

[@leonardovergara5620]

The best Contra. But the 2Player was broken. Most weapons are rapid hitting and the hit detection is every one or other frame.

[@OuroborosChoked]

Goddamn... is Fang really this OP?

[@dekoldrick]

Yes he is. His charge weapon is the most powerful of his entire team. It drops a boss in only a few shots.

[@spiritfired]

But I have to stress he's either using a glitch or hack to charge that D weapon so instantaneously.

[@nikolai1566]

He's using a glitch on his D gun

[@ovcu134]

you can still do this glitch today in the US version. get weapon B and fire. as soon as you do you switch weapons to D . you don't need tas to do it :) see it in speed runs all the time

You’ve obviously never played Contra: Shattered Soldier, Contra 4, or Hard Corps: Uprising.

[@rapture21]

I can beat the american version without dying in about 5 mins. It's not the best ending though. lol It's the jungle ending where you become king of the ape people. The best ending is another story I haven't been able to beat the game without dying at all yet. I always die at least once.

[@Insertmiddlefinger]

With tools I assume? If not then post a video, not saying I do not believe you, just saying that sounds like something id really like to see.

[@TokeBoisen]

Go up the wall right before walking into the boss's lair at 5:10. There's a bonus level with an alternate ending there.

i was about to say cuz thats some bull i got my ass whooped when i payed this game and there was no life bars

[@pietjebel9130]

i don't understand why he defeats the bosses so quickly, i think the Japanese version of the game is a lot easier (also because of the health bars)

[@nikolai1566]

He's glitching the D gun to defeat them

[@pietjebel9130]

***** what does that mean?? I think there is something wrong here He defeats the bosses in a couple of seconds...

[@nikolai1566]

He automatically charges the D final shot by shooting the B gun and quickly switching to D gun and doing this 3 or 4 times fast enough deals a lot of damage.

[@pietjebel9130]

***** i see, but don't u think this is emulation, where he can pause quickly when necessary and stuff? (and go back when one action fails, and try again etc?) It looks kinda impossible what he is doing i say

[@nikolai1566]

Yes indeed, it's a TAS

[@phj9894]

even if using a tool could be a cheat, it doesn't be a problem in TAS videos because the purpose of TAS is not to show the player's skill but to find the shortest time to beat the game. just accept it as a kind of performance.
