Commander: You must stop General Morden and his troops. Marco and Tarma: We'll be back under 10 minutes, Sir.

Heavy Machine Gun!

Rawkit Lawnchair!

[@Winslinator]

This was stimulus overload. Great TAS!

[@GamerGee]

2:45 boss only attempted one rocket shot amazing

[@palithepalidan885]

7:01 how is The movement so synchronised to the boss music xD😂

[@GamerGee]

A fast hop and fun action game

[@jamin12342]

2:52 I just realized after two decades and countless playthroughs that Morden (the final boss) almost fell to his death but an air fighter saves him. I've always thought wtf is that random fighter eh whatever next mission

[@kyokari4]

I have GOT to play this with someone one day.

[@tonyvega1705]

Yea but good luck achieving that same speed ._.

[@sarcasticguy4311]

This is why the TAS exists.

[@scarletcat4735]

OK I need an explanation on 7:04. Why not shoot the boss?

[@tonytonelada1362]

up

[@kitsunedj3472]

Not a long time ago, SoldierRebel explained this in a video titled "Study On Metal Slug 1 Expasion (Reboot)". At approximately 15:09, he explains this odd thing that happens to Nokana

[@gwinbeer]

"Upon exposing the ball turret, the Iron Nokana gains around five in-game seconds of invulnerability. Its HP can be lowered during this time, but the Iron Nokana will gain a sliver of health anytime its HP reaches 0" - From Metal Slug Wiki

[@user-ym4jh7hr4c]

Great.

[@Kestila]

4:01 I did that jump once, but could never replicate it :D

[@jamin12342]

haha 4:07 the soldier flushing himself down out of terror

[@ThePtolemaicCommander6144]

I didn't watch the full video, but it's a great job that you finished Metal Slug 1 in 9 minutes. :)

메탈슬러그 꿀잼

[@colonthree]

Is there a "Take No Prisoners"-category...? ;w;

[@RobertoGoodra]

Tas Metal Slug 2P. Mínimo salvar prisioneros. Intrépido y sin miedo.

[@tonyvega1705]

O Metal Slug X

[@MimiWhiskers]

I have trouble with getting past the second stage..😅 Thought, It was funny to watch the TAS getting the characters pixel perfect position on top of each other, and grenade spamming the bosses.

[@ladyirisbits9793]

It's crazy how the final boss is so lame on this game

[@hoborg98]

Yeah, considering how wild the later games get, this one almost seems tame by comparison.

[@kyokari4]

How it went from that to an alien invasion immediately after will always make me laugh

[@tonyvega1705]

This is probably the easiest final boss on metal slug to defeat lol.

[@KnakuanaRka]

Yeah, that helicopter looks more like a midboss than a stage boss, let alone a final one!

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Probably because of Kazuma Kujo. This was the only one he worked on, so likely after he left Nazca dialed up the wackiness.

[@lilwyvern4]

Never seen that ending before. I know there's a different ending for two players, but this isn't the one I've seen. Is there a third ending if you 1CC it or something?

[@retneychozken]

Nope, there are only 2 endings

[@lilwyvern4]

@@retneychozken I have definitely seen a two-player ending where some white-uniformed soldiers are having a feast. Maybe that was a different game? I dunno, getting old sucks.

[@retneychozken]

@@lilwyvern4 Metal Slug 4 has an ending where characters have a feast, which also contained 2 different endings, although im not sure what is that "white-uniformed soldiers", maybe its an even later game

[@johnvida3426]

I'm Pretty Sure You Have To Find ALL 100 PRISONERS In The Game(Yeah Good Luck Without Some Secrets And A Friend lol).

Did he just beat the final boss in 10 seconds?

[@crimsonskull9276]

Well it’s tool assisted……so yeah…..

[@szymon6207]

Sub 10 minutes RUN

[@MegamanXfan21xx]

MS still holds up. Only thing I'd change is the screen flashing white during certain explosions. Even without epilepsy, it's annoying.

[@chrisredfield4537]

Is only one guy using the 2 players?

[@ammiebaker2911]

The death noises are realistic and terrible!! huh...

[@MegamanXfan21xx]

They're exaggerated and cartoony, like the rest of the game is.

[@musashigundoh]

Bro, they literally use the Wilhelm Scream one third of the time

[@wolfy2529]

Please please do a speedrun of Sengoku 3

[@user-sz5zk6ju4l]

lol
