[TAS] SNES Contra III: The Alien Wars "2 players" by Mr_K & EZGames69 in

[@ericwood3709]

12/10 for style xD I love all the silly little dances in the downtime.

[@Terkzorr]

I still remember how amazed we were back in the day when the 16-bit consoles launched. The graphics of those massive arcade machines in your living room but without the constant "insert coin" prompts. The last time I was really amazed by video game graphics was in Half-Life 2, now everything just looks the same though.

[@lambda494]

Yeah, and we cared so much about the specs, like 32,768 colors, true stereo sound....

[@GyprockGypsy]

That's because the Source Engine is either on par, or vastly superior to most game engines in the more than a decade since. Look at Cyberpunk. What a fucking technical joke compared to HL2.

[@sweet5304]

There are tons of games with unique visuals, for example: Monster Train, Noita, Synthetik: Ultimate, and ULTRA KILL. They're fun, too

[@Kipwich]

Everything only looks the same if you’re just focusing on the big titles trying to be super realistic. That’s the point of them, after all. If they’re all trying to look like real life, they’re all aiming for the same end goal and the same graphics. Look towards smaller titles or stuff that’s not just focusing on realism.

[@MogaTange]

Ok boomer.

[@MrSuperspeedsonic]

Even after playing modern games and other retro games I have never found something that amaze me more than Contra 3 and Hard Corps. Truly greatest games.

[@thomasmurrell9832]

The amount of fun had during downtime is amazing! Jumping to a monster's stomps, fusing, and outright having a silly western style duel. This is now my favorite TAS

[@lambda494]

Thank you Super Contra for giving me the Christmas gift of freedom from aliens.

[@XanthinZarda]

For aspiring players out there: The Spread Gun isn't the best in this game. That goes to the Concussive missiles. The DPS of them when wildly switching is incredible and can melt bosses.

[@cggilbycg]

I always wondered what the "C" stood for when you picked them up. Thanks! Spread was the best in NES Contra though

[@TheTrueNehme]

@@cggilbycg lmao i always assumed it meant "cold"/dummy fired missiles since they were blue and the heat seeking missiles were red

[@FlashRewind69]

That was the most aggresive attacking I've ever seen!

[@NYCZ31]

I always feel like attacking aggressively on the day after Christmas

[@davionblackburn9318]

Time for action!! 🎮

[@marcolujan2457]

What's the purpose on keep killing the player 2?

[@Schimnesthai]

Can't believe this game was by the same director of Contra Rogue Corps years later.

[@malcovich_games]

Feels like only a 1.5 player run at times with all those necessary sacrifices going on. Nyahaha

[@TheBigL1]

10:48 I guess they didn't code the music transitions with this sort of scenario in mind... It looks like (or sounds like?) going through the boss gauntlet this fast made the game so confused that it started the last boss theme before the transition into the gargoyle's theme finished, so some way or another it's trying to play both songs at once.

[@ezgames6925]

Yep, that boss being defeated is supposed to set the flag to transition to the next track after one more music loop, but it ends up playing both at the same time

[@Midee]

The SPC is trying it's hardest! 😭

[@LUISDooMER]

6:48 Time is ticking...

[@fendi-bull8167]

The return of Billance

[@Winslinator]

Great attention to entertainment during the down time

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

To you and me, those moments of down time are mere seconds. To the speed runner, they're hours spent wondering what the Hell they're supposed to do while they wait for this next stage to load.

[@Ogiichidawg]

The return of the legendary gray warrior.

[@CyanideSublime]

Perhaps the most testosterone fueled game ever made.

[@bryan13579]

5:47 what the,, how??

[@teeonezee]

Do you not know what a TAS is?

[@xxEzraBxxx]

From the submission text: “Scroll Glitch: After you die the game looks for a valid location to respawn you. The spinning poles in this stage are not considered valid locations and the platforms on screen are too far to the edges of the screen to be valid so P1 respawns in a junk location which causes the level position of the players to go backwards. Pressing left as P1 deactivates the glitch and allows the screen to start scrolling forward. Increasing the level position past a certain point activates an event and the next eligible event is the skeleton spawn - or at least that's what I think is happening”

[@alfasilverblade]

Dont blink, you might miss a boss fight.

Is there a place I can download the BK files to games?

[@Waluigi10K]

We NEED to see this TAS at AGDQ 2022! Can we make that happen?

This game is so hard, the TAS can't even beat it without dying.

No.. why would an official speedrun use a modhack?

Christopher Lopez didn’t you just answer your own question?

[@elijahmodnar1]

In answer to my own question, no it’s not, the slow down when the plane comes in with fire confirms it.
