Trojan 1st Loop Completed 1cc No Miss Arcade

[@BMANTIS1]

Nice playing I could never clock this game on 1 credit back in the day but after watching your clip I can now do it cheers for the handy tips

[@MrMaskaman]

I'm glad that this gameplay has been useful for you. I hope you can now beat the game on 1 credit :)

[@RobOfAges]

"Peace will probably return to this world again thank you" - Greatest ending text ever.

[@Absolemism]

You got to beat it twice for the real ending hahahahahahahahhaa like GnG

[@sneekyweezel]

yup dang this game was kinda hard on the NES, but it's way harder in the arcade! Ultra awesome job one cc ing it!

[@MrMaskaman]

sneekyweezel Thanks mate! Yes, this is one of the hardest arcades made by Capcom, even more difficult than Ghosts'n Goblins. It's quite short but there are parts which are extremely difficult and random.

[@Fightpass]

I'll give it a try, thanks for the help bro! I couldn't find a good guide for this very old game so a sincere thank you! If I can make it past this point then Achilles shouldn't pose much a problem because I could see his pattern right away!:D

[@arielhernandez8763]

Que barbaro!!!, excelente, la verdad no había visto el final del juego, lo llegué a jugar en las maquinitas pero por mucho nunca pase del nivel 3.

[@nanorro]

Pedazo de partida te marcaste, yo lo veo imposible y viendote parece más fácil, saludos from Elche 💪💪

[@MrMaskaman]

¡Gracias Nanorro! Realmente lo que me salió bien fue el primer loop, en el segundo Aquiles me vistió de torero el tío, jaja. ¡Un saludete oriolano!

[@carlosquiles7]

Excelente video tienes razón es un juego super difícil. Antes capcom no Tenía rival

[@DanuarBlander]

Totalmente de acuerdo, este juego es un puto infierno...al igual que el ghostngoblins, en cuanto lo termine no lo vuelvo a tocar en mi vida, ni las posteriores 5 reencarnaciones...

[@JustinHackEsq]

What general strategy do you use for the Double Iron Man boss fight at the end of stage 5? I can't find anything that works consistently other than getting really lucky. (I've tried what you do in the video, but the AI doesn't react the same way.)

[@MrMaskaman]

I uploaded this gameplay long ago and I don't remember the strategies I used. If I played the game now I wouldn't get very far, haha. I'm watching the video again, and it seems that I wait for their low attack, and then I hit them like mad (both standing and crouching). Anyway, this game is quite random and you depend a lot on luck and skill. There are not good consistent strategies. For example, in the second loop I died in that spot. Maybe the rom you are using is different too and the behaviour of the enemies changes. I have watched other gameplays and the enemies deal less damage in some of them, so maybe there are other changes too. The rom I used was the US version (not romstar) but maybe the main rom has changed too. Sorry for not being very helpful, but this game is extremely difficult, even more than Ghosts'n Goblins. I guess I got luck with this gameplay.

[@JustinHackEsq]

Thanks for the reply. I'm playing the officially emulated version on Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 for PS2. I certainly agree about Trojan being harder than Ghosts'n Goblins! Anyway, the video was already greatly helpful as is. I'll just keep plucking away...

[@MrMaskaman]

Good luck! I'm sure that you will make it if you keep trying. The good thing is that the ending doesn't change in the second loop, so you can say that you have beaten the game if you just finish the first one. I haven't tried the Capcom Classics Collection version, so I don't know if there are differences.

[@almo2001]

Wait a minute wait a minute wait wait wait wait.... Trojan harder than Ghosts and Goblins? Wow. I completed Trojan one coin both trips, but couldn't get anywhere on Ghosts and Goblins. :o

[@MrMaskaman]

Maybe you are really good at this game. Many people (including myself) think that Trojan is harder than GnG despite being shorter. You only need to check how many videos of people completing GnG are here on KZbin. It's true that it's a more famous game, but not as difficult as it is said.

[@Maru96]

Excelente partida, sin dudas para mí el punto negro del juego es el nivel 5, el tipo de brazo mecánico de ahí me parece casi imposible.

[@MrMaskaman]

Marcel Weber ¡Gracias! Con el tiempo me he dado cuenta de que esta partida tiene más valor del que pensaba. Es más, ahora mismo no soy capaz de repetir la hazaña. Hay puntos que dependen mucho de la suerte, como el enfrentamiento con los dos tipos del brazo extensible a la vez. Hay otra versión del juego donde solo te quitan un punto de vida y lo hace mucho más asequible, pero no sé si esa es la versión original.

[@pedrojp7208]

+Maskaman saludos sabes como descargar este juego en android, por favor q recuerdos yo le dava tres vueltas a la maquina y era casi imposible pasárselo gracias

[@Kerannnng]

This game is so hard...didn't think it is possible to beat this without dying once

[@ccronik]

I remember this being a tough game, a real nerve breaker.

[@Fightpass]

Mad skills bro! I'm having a bit trouble on stage 5. When you have to fight those robot guys at the end of the stage, both at the same time, is there a strategy behind it? I swear I've tried like 500 times and I just can't get past it! They kill me with like 2 hits and they are fast and unpredictable as well! I watched your video and couldn't quite understand if there was a pattern. Please enlighten me as I'm freaking out completely! They're the only ones in the way for my trophy!

[@Chupetanton]

Buenas... ¿estoy flipando o la música del tercer nivel (el de los ascensores) es exactamente la misma que la del "Rampage"? Era aquel juego en que tres bicharracos - el hermano borde de King Kong, un hombre lobo gigante y una especie de Godzilla destruían una ciudad. Perdón si alguien ha dicho ya lo mismo, mi única neurona se colapsa si intento leerme todos los comentarios. Gran partida y gracias por el vídeo!

[@MrMaskaman]

Sí, has dado en el clavo. Yo no lo sabía y otro usuario lo indicó también. Por lo que parece, es la versión de Amstrad de Rampage la que "tomó prestada" la melodía. Supongo que imaginarían que era muy complicado que alguien en Japón diese con ello, ya que el Amstrad por allí no tenía tirón alguno (y a saber cuántos llegarían). ¡Gracias por pasarte!

[@joshthefunkdoc]

Hello, I have been doing a feature for my stream called 1CC Requests and your videos have been a great help! This game is my next challenge, but I cannot pull off your 2nd loop Achilles strat for the life of me. No matter what I try he always blocks, even if I hit him in his attack startup. I understand you haven't played this in a long time, but would appreciate it if you remember anything to help with that.

[@joshthefunkdoc]

Well, I finally figured it out on my stream tonight! I'll explain it for anyone else who may not understand: Achilles will block all of your attacks when within your sword's range...until you get close enough to him, which will make him instantly attack. You need to jump attack him from a mid-long range to make him block, then inch forward and attack~block very carefully until he lets his guard down. I do a piano-style input for the attack->block bit, as you need to execute that perfectly to block his attack in time. There may still be a bit of luck to it, but it's definitely more about execution once you understand how he works. I'm coming for that 1CC now...

[@MrMaskaman]

Sorry for the late response although I see that you already figured it out. I played this game many years ago and I barely remember most of the things I had to do in order to beat it. Achilles in the second loop is just a monster and you need to execute an exact set of movements to be able to hit him (the one I use in the gameplay). Still, you need some luck. I think there are some gameplays in Replays Burner's channel in which they beat him easily although they may be using autofire, as they are Japanese players. Sorry for not being very helpful, but I can't say anything besides what you can see in the gameplay. Good luck with your 1cc, this game can be really frustrating!

[@SAIGONONINDOU]

excelent video

[@DonCarlos590]

Not to rag on your gaming skills,I couldn't beat this game .Did you use auto matic button controller?

[@birdfanboi]

the main character kind of resembles Kuno from Ranma 1\2

[@TimelordR]

FYI: The Japanese title translates as "Elegy Of Battle".

[@MrMaskaman]

TimelordR I didn't know that. I prefer the Japanese title, it's more poetic. Thanks for the info! :)

[@pupthelovemonkey]

06:50 - did you even notice you were getting hit?

[@pupthelovemonkey]

5:30 - very close. hate that guy.

[@Fortuna1]

siempre odié el nivel 3 por que moria siempre en el jefe y nunca la pude pasar

[@Absolemism]

You got to beat it twice for the real ending

[@MrMaskaman]

Yes, that happened in several Capcom games from that time, like Tiger Road (only in the Japanese version). The difference with GnG is that the ending remains the same, so there's no point in beating the two loops except for the challenge.

[@kuugarx100]

tienes razon en esta vuelta achilles es mas facil

[@deoglemnaco7025]

Nuclear war was awful
