WOW 1 FRAME IMPROVE LETS GO

[@silvertomahawk67]

Truly a remarkable breakthrough in tool assisted speedrun history

[@dragon_imperial8440]

Lol

[@Владимир-ц4б5щ]

[@christmasham4312]

Damn that first level track is fire 🔥🧙‍♀️

[@joshuasharrock466]

And clonk. That's a good clonk

[@el_benja]

That was a good bzzzt

[@kevinthedood09]

Getting good bleeps and good bloops.

[@Hubythereal]

see you in 2028 with another frame improvement

[@BooTeresa1006]

So this is what the stages beyond 2-2 look like.

[@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus]

2-2 is a biiiiiitch

[@jenkathefridge3933]

What are you having trouble with stage 2-2?

[@silverflight01]

@@jenkathefridge3933Probably getting knocked into pits

[@jenkathefridge3933]

@@silverflight01 in stage 2-2 you want to jump at the last pit you want jump at the last late moment and hit the bird but the enemy will hit you so it doesn't matter

[@sr.bootsnpants664]

I know, how?!?!?

[@WhimWidget]

And over on this TAS exhibit, 10:35, we have arguably the trickest part of the game in normal runs, where losing _at_ _all_ (not even game overing) to him sends you all the way back to 6-1, before 6-2 a notorius stage in video games. Watch how the TAS wi..and the exhibit's already cleared by the time it took to read this. According to the description: Only one frame but a lot of differences. The critical 1 frame difference was stage 5-2 and 5-3, where they managed to remain further ahead by skipping a 10 point weapon item (ninpo), by collecting a different +5 ninpo in 5-2, and not using 5 ninpo on 2 enemies in stage 5-3. There were lots of inconsequential (0 frame change) changes, optimised entertainment - yeah! - and showcase of different routes for different TAS attempts. But obviously the most _important_ change was _Train_ _Mode_ !

[@BlackHoleAtron]

What's train mode? Where Ryu is moving forward but his legs appear to be stationary?

[@handlesareanunfortunatefeature]

4:37 for one of the best songs in all of the NES library. Too bad this was only used in one level.

[@anthonypoehlman1371]

It's also the end credits theme.

[@PrlytheWn]

I believe it’s titled “and then we spin (and then we win)”

[@vuuvovuuv]

it's also sort of a cover/reference to the 1986 hit (in japan) by yoko oginome, "dancing hero (eat you up) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpixepiNq71-hK8

[@l0l_p3n15]

It was also used in the GB ninja gaiden

[@insomniak4760]

5:14

[@NokoPilot]

1:00 And here we have the KitKat and rice cake stage

[@eien86]

4:40 if you are wondering why Ryu slides over in this level, it's because he's on rails and TRAIN MODE is active ;)

[@metarotta]

nice TAS! do you think there's any frames left to improve?

[@eien86]

@@metarotta yes. At least 2. Scum & I are convinced that will be able to get those in years to come

[@sleepyren_]

i love train mode thank you

[@nopolistocanti7498]

Damn, 1 FULL frame, nice

[@30fpsguy]

Imagine you saw a Ninja tweaking and approaching you will be your finals moments.

[@lllHAMBONElll]

Reset, mash mash mash, aaaand clunk.

[@Illgaia]

I always liked how the birds in 3-2 flapped along with the music.

[@forgiveman]

And Arcus will be as close as possible for this run.

[@fyzzlefry]

Is he still second?

[@forgiveman]

@@fyzzlefry Yep. 1 second away from WR

[@fyzzlefry]

@@forgiveman Nice, last I looked his best splits would total a world record, it's just a matter of time.

[@TheJ-manT800]

From what I've seen between him & Retro Runner. He needs to improve on his wall climbing. R&R is a much better climber.

[@ros9764]

You know it's a good game when even the TAS has to get hurt in order to advance to the next level

[@adzrim725]

After ending.. Trevor Belmont: i just arrive, now where is the castle?

[@richardjoyce2764]

Ryu: so there I went, sliding across the floor...

[@salamathesusatbiyernesulit2161]

Best soundtracks for an NeS game. Also, one of the first games I played with cutscenes. Your Ninja Ryu slash will put Cloud's Omnislash to shame. Hahahah.

[@Unlockerz]

When the sun rising at the end that little melody reminds me of Sonic 2 ending when tails save him and fly to the front of the screen.

[@wolfzert]

Excelente!!!

[@Mr.PlatanoMAN970]

6:31 Double skreee lets go!!!

[@silverflight01]

Seeing Ryu slide like a statue will never not be funny

[@BhoomiParadise]

Wow a masterpiece

[@sorok_astorage7172]

First three acts were so easy Ryu even didn’t move his legs!lol

[@justmakethiswork]

Jumpin and a spinnin, getting some Glods

[@EKOHFLARE]

Getting good bleeps AND bloops. Not just one or the other.

[@edmonderbid1213]

A true ninja can run without moving his legs.

[@CMmeows]

4:37 I know this jam. It's the weekend has started theme.

[@TheRealBDouble]

That was a good BZZZZT

[@megajr1616]

Cómo amo la canción Unbreakable Determination (la del nivel 4-2 y los créditos)

[@tntmoxy9697]

Es increíble lo que hacían con el limitado chip de sonido de las consolas de antes jajaja, son una obra de arte

[@DaneofHalves]

I was so poud of beating this game in 88. I played part 2 pretty far in. I don't remember if i beat it.

[@insomniak4760]

i played the ever living shit out of this game and beat it once. ONCE. It is so unforgiving and relentless. I love it!

[@fatkart7641]

I would really want to know what was the concept behind Level 2. You finish Level 1 in a bar somewhere in a big city, then you appear inside a huge factory of nothing that specializes in bottomless pits and not having stairs, and when you finally find the exit, you find yourself face to face with a crucifix-tossing zombie wrapped in a white shroud standing on some greek ruins. Waï, Japan?

[@Atylonisus]

Japan was lead to believe this was endemic to all major American cities, as common as local parks or axe murderers

[@f0ngers586]

Everyday I'm shufflin'

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

aaand CLUNK

[@ConnorRybka]

8:11 funniest 10 seconds of the run

[@Hazteviral1008]

Que trucos usas para hacer eso?

[@markpaulabad986]

Why isnt he running?

[@abby_babber]

Simultaneous left-right press not possible on a real controller. Only emulator.

[@TheRfGuy]

How much time is saved with that stutter step / blur on a stage like stage 1? I'm just curious how much this TAS saves by way of just those impossible inputs.

[@eien86]

this movement was only for entertainment purposes, no frames saved :P

[@TheRfGuy]

@@eien86 I wasn't sure if it was like NES Super Mario Bros with the impossible fast accel that only a TAS could input. Thanks for clarifying.

[@stealthcopter7398]

bzzzz, swag star...

[@davidmeyer4506]

I gave up at the demon. Never made it past it. I should try it again, i have it on my 3DS

Happy 35th anniversary, North American release!

[@freddie5571]

Ninja gaiden gooooo!!!

[@perdu6603]

6 years to save a frame, and they didn't even save an A press

[@tntmoxy9697]

This can be like cheating but this game deserves this kind of treatment xD

[@LM77va]

5:07 C'mon. Even in TAS mode a hit should be a hit.

[@tbone9474]

Why does the TAS make it look like he's sliding?

[@MiTBender]

Ryu needs to get his Parkinson's checked out

[@wilthomas]

how is it doing that slide?

[@MetalGearMalta]

It"s beyong human capability. Look at the final boss when it drops its head. Tas managed to destroy it before it dropped. It impossible to do that.

[@silverflight01]

Ryu's sliding is done by holding Left and Right at the same time, something impossible on actual hardware (there's a bump in the NES D-Pad that prevents it), but doable on emulator

[@kriever]

Is him floating instead of walking?

[@bilrogar]

Is

[@ericdrei]

No, that a TAS feature. It happens when you hold Left and Right on the joystick at the same time. I made a TAS of this game once, it's a very fun one to do.

[@KATOGOJIRA7223]

Hey wtf you can't do that This is not how you play ninja gaiden. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Every swift blade attack followed with those crazy fkn jumps go with the soundtrack perfect feels like a movie 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
