lots of congratulations from the whole community that follows you from Italy you are the best👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹it was a pleasure to follow you on this journey👋👋👋
A game a played all my childhood. The whole time I was rooting you on!!@@@ you are a hero. A legend among us normal people. I said it once, say it again you are a legend!
Awesome Arcus, the best was watching how happy you were about this great achievement, it's not often we get to see you lose your cool like that. Well deserved, relish in your accomplishment you worked hard for it.
Finally! Last time I was on this channel you only had like 2.5K subs. 69K and rising is more like it. I knew you would get the glory that is yours for the taking Arcus. You are a legend within the gaming sphere!
Your dedication to your craft is simply astonishing. As a child that loved these games. Knowing how hard it was. Watching you do this i just cant believe it plus youre so humble about it.
You're my favorite speed runner. I love how chill you are. And how you hum along and make your own lyrics as you go makes it feel calm and soothing. haha.
I'm proud of Arcus' accomplishment, but at the same time I really want him to keep going so that he can get the world record (he's so close!). Arcus is such an amazing speedrunner and I truly believe he has what it takes to get the world record in this game. At any rate, congratulations Arcus and also I wish you the very best with your future speedruns!
Wow such a big accomplishment man. Your oldest video on your channel is you speedrunning this game, years and years ago. I can only imagine all the work needed to get that time. Huge congrats ... Must have felt weird when you finally got it.
You guys who watch the super long twitch streams, I have a question for you. How? It doesn't get boring watching him die over and over? I mean I love the TH-cam version, the condensed version, that gets right to the point. But watching these same levels for hours straight... oof
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 Arcus has a great chat community. People talk to each other help each other out, and just act like good people to each other there. It's a lot of fun. Try it out, and see what you think.
Love seeing you so happy! Your the best!!!! It feels like when I was a kid sitting with my brother playing and me watching contently the entire time. Thanks for the nostalgia
I've been keeping an eye on this, seeing you inch your way to this. I'm happy for you man. Congratulations. Love to his Twich followers, too. We see this distilled on TH-cam, but you're all supporting him in the grind.
I realize speed runs are a niche product, but Arcus is one of the most likable personalities on any social media outlet. That subscriber number saddens me when I see the numbers on so many untalented hacks (at least TH-cam is not his primary source for income on these, but still, gotta love this guy).
Oh my God that was a siiiiick run! That was seriously God-like. I've watched alot of your runs and this one is definitely one of the most impressive ones. All of your stuff is great, but this one....I'm out of words. Phenomenal!
always felt these games were secretly built for running and stabbing as fast as possible. amazing stuff thanks for the little hints and tricks you taught us!
Every time I remember an old game there are 2 things I can always count on. James and Mike Mondays has played it and Arcus has beaten it faster than I ever thought possible.

I’m thrown off by how much I care how fast someone from Arizona can beat Ninja Gaiden 2.
🐄
I feel like I've been dreaming... for a long time.
This cowboy just might be the best ninja of all time
Those rare moments when you see emotion out of Arcus are quite special indeed
Like when he got his NG1 wr was similar
Rare? I see him laugh nearly daily with some of my chat comments :)
@@mycatisromeo ok
10:35 When Arcus is so in sync with Ninja Gaiden the game is giving him subtitles.
“What is this? What is this? What is this? My hands are getting numb. Just….Just……Just…….”
You are an absolute legend Arcus. What a Journey. Congrats.
the journey was fantastic
Dr Sceeeaphism?
It makes me happy to see Arcus so damn happy :)
This is Jorf's favorite run.
You did it because of that perfect MEATBALL BOOST! What a great achievement, Arcus. Congrats!
The Sheer joy on his face after getting sub ten was worth the watch.
I've watched a lot of these NG 2 runs because I love the music for background and your calm demeanor. Congrats on the sub 10 run!
So happy for you, Arcus! This deserves a Mountain Dew and a churro.
🎶🎵Mountain Dew and a churro🎵🎶
Edging closer and closer to that WR. Come on Arcus, you can do it!
Huge congrats my dude. Been following all your runs, so much hype. You’re going to get world record for sure.
Congratulations Arcus! You’ve worked really hard on this grind and you deserve the sub-10.
Legendary man!
There's no system like the NES. The games where so cool and immersive
Love the Ninja Gaiden series.

Love it. You can tell it was on when Arcus went completely silent. So happy for you, it was a tough grind indeed. Cheers.
Watching the twitch stream as this was happening LIVE was an absolute thrill! Well done again, Arcus! Cheers!
Watching Arcus score a PB is like watching a prime Michael Phelps hit the water.
Congrats on holding the 2nd best Speedrun world record! Definitely well deserved and something to be proud of. GG!
Awesome Arcus, the best was watching how happy you were about this great achievement, it's not often we get to see you lose your cool like that. Well deserved, relish in your accomplishment you worked hard for it.
Congrats! What took me almost a year as a kid, you got done in under 10 minutes! Good game and congratulations!
Finally! Last time I was on this channel you only had like 2.5K subs. 69K and rising is more like it. I knew you would get the glory that is yours for the taking Arcus. You are a legend within the gaming sphere!
If that isn’t one of the most wholesome things, idk what is. Absolute legend, this guy. Congrats!
Congrats, Arcus. I only watch via TH-cam, but you're one of my favorite runners.
Your dedication to your craft is simply astonishing. As a child that loved these games. Knowing how hard it was. Watching you do this i just cant believe it plus youre so humble about it.
You're my favorite speed runner. I love how chill you are. And how you hum along and make your own lyrics as you go makes it feel calm and soothing. haha.
That one knockback was potentially enough to miss out on a 9:58.
Still amazing run of an amazing game. Well done.
My god it just blows my mind seeing someone breeze so effortlessly through a game that caused me so much pain, suffering and rage
I'm proud of Arcus' accomplishment, but at the same time I really want him to keep going so that he can get the world record (he's so close!). Arcus is such an amazing speedrunner and I truly believe he has what it takes to get the world record in this game. At any rate, congratulations Arcus and also I wish you the very best with your future speedruns!
The best part of this is how happy you are.
I've never seen Arc act like that as he did at the end of the run. It was heart warming
Holy crap sub 10. Many congratulations. 🍾🎉🎊🎈
Arcus is the kind of guy to take blast damage from a land mine just to have enough invisibility to sprint to the end of the DMZ.
I find myself randomly saying “aaaaaand clunk” all the time for years….”where’s my churro” is now a normal part of my repertoire too
Been saying "Hooo-aaaa made it through-aaaa!" for months now
Doo be doo, yes we do!
Never realized til now how the fallen towers/spires of Ch 10 in NG2 were inspired from 6-1 of this game.
Chasing that world record I see. Good stuff.
Congratulations!! I’ve been checking in over the past few months to see your prog on this game. I’m so happy for you! 😊😊😊
27,600 attempts! That level of dedication is inspiring!
after watching you grind on twitch for months. was super happy u finally did it on stream. congrats
Wow such a big accomplishment man. Your oldest video on your channel is you speedrunning this game, years and years ago. I can only imagine all the work needed to get that time. Huge congrats ... Must have felt weird when you finally got it.
Love how the run in it's entirety is almost as long as the ending credits. Grats Arcus!
I've been following this grind throughout most of the year. What a journey! Your patience and determination is truly inspiring, Arcus.
Im so glad that I watched this run live on TW... what a great speedrunner, streamer and person Arcus is! Greetings from Argentina
Watched it live too, was great being there

There was Eddie Van Halen and his guitar and now there's Arcus and his NES controller.
Incredibly GG Arcus!! Been watching your runs for a few months go from 10:07 to 10:04 to 9:59!!! Go pet Jojo, what a good boy Arcus!
Can we take a minute and acknowledge this man has attempted this 27,000 times??? Dedication.
Congrats Arcus - legend with NG, so fun to watch!
PB AC let's roll ! Fantastic job Arcus -Black Ocean
Arcus was smacking those buttons extra hard from 7-2 on haha. Didn't want to leave anything to chance ;)
So awesome bro! Congrats on that achievement 👏. Been loving the journey 🤜🤛
Never get tired of your Ninja gameplays!!! You're a NES Hero!
Love seeing you so happy! Your the best!!!! It feels like when I was a kid sitting with my brother playing and me watching contently the entire time. Thanks for the nostalgia
Your voice is simultaneously weird and yet very pleasant and soothing. I really enjoyed watching you work and listening to your commentary.
What a wild ride! Great job, Arcus. You fought with inspiration.
Congrats Arcus!!! Can feel the excitement!
This is pretty incredible. I remember playing this game for the first time at the Nintendo World Championships, 1990. I sucked then and I suck now.
Congratulations, Arcus!
Without the 1 knock back, would've been a 958. You got this!
This and XBox Ninja Garden: Black, are my fav from Tecmo/Team Ninja games.
You've got a great radio voice. It's funny how relaxed you are through the first half of the run
Congrats! That castle sure does take a long time to collapse.
Arcus you're almost there!!!! Wish you the best with the WR chase!!
Amazing run Arcus!!! Way to get that sub-10!!!!!!!!!
Still not the WR though. Lol
Was awesome to catch it live and a treat of a rewatch! My favorite Arcus PB and one of my favorite speedruns ever. GG!
I had "do be do yes we do" stuck in my head for a few weeks. I finally forgot about it, then this happens. I'm back fellas
Love how excited Arcus got. Love this dude.
I've been keeping an eye on this, seeing you inch your way to this. I'm happy for you man. Congratulations. Love to his Twich followers, too. We see this distilled on TH-cam, but you're all supporting him in the grind.
What's crazy is he was inching, inching, inching...then skipped like 3+ seconds all at once suddenly
GG’s Arcus! Congratulations on this amazing achievement.
Congratulations on meeting your goal!
I am proud of Arcus. Thanks for the streams.
Summoning Salt told me about this run. I am not disappointed
“Reset…smash…mash…mash…klunk” - Arcus 🤠 👢
His excitement is so contagious. I find myself using his idioms when I play now. "Jumpin and a boomin"
"Meatball Boost" made me do a spit take. "Where's my Churro?" also got a randomness chuckle.
Nice going dude! It's been a wild ride.
Your button smashing sounds like a crackling fire!🔥
Great job!
Big Big congrats Arcus !! Well deserved ! Awesome run ! (Bednak)
WOAH! Congratulations, Arcus!! :D
Amazing accomplishment! So glad to have watched this live :)

Congrats man. I watched you several times during the grind and I'm sad I missed the sub 10 run. GG!
The grind! So happy for you Arcus!
What a good run, Arcus.
Than you so much for sharing this. So happy to see the sub 10! congrats Arcus!
Oh. It's all coming together.
Congrats Arcus.
always felt these games were secretly built for running and stabbing as fast as possible. amazing stuff thanks for the little hints and tricks you taught us!
To see this guy beat a game that caused me so much agony in my child hood in under 10 minutes is bittersweet.
Yo congrats! Glad you got the sub 10!!
Every time I remember an old game there are 2 things I can always count on. James and Mike Mondays has played it and Arcus has beaten it faster than I ever thought possible.
Wow these Ninja Gaiden games are the hardest games on NES I love them all 3 but damn you do it effortlessly good on ya
Dont care what anyone says, but definitely one of the baddest dudes on the planet. Epic run.
Wow I love Arcus so relaxing
The bolo-tie of victory he is wearing in this run is an NFT. Net worth: priceless.
Legendary. Love your stream!
finally sub 10!!! now go for that WR!
*Deep inhale*
