@@palecitron8472 I'm glad you could feel the hype dude! The adrenaline at the end of these things is insane and I can't be held responsible for the things I say or do 😅
Congrats to Arcus and his PB yesterday! I was there to congratulate him and have been cheering him on the whole time. He is definitely capable of much faster. I think ppl like you might believe that speedrunning is a lot like wrestling or something 🤣
Yeah man! Idk how tf I did that. It's only happened in practice like that with Jaquio having 4 health from the right once maybe twice. The adrenaline man 😅
MAN! so so fun, so impressive on so many levels. you are such an inspiring talent my man! glad i got there just in time to catch the end of the premier. hugest of GG's!
@@TheRetroRunner I have, yes. I've been there for all the WR breaks except for one I think, but the one I missed was quickly overtaken if I remember correctly. I was there for the big ones though! The 1st time it was broken, and the 11:32. Woot!
Thanks Jamie! Jaquiox was the thimbnail artist. He's done some artwork for me in the past, like the Sorry I'm Shred shirt. His style is perfect for what I had in mind and I am grateful that he agreed to be a part ofnthis project
Great job on the video! I really enjoyed going back and reliving the event now that a little time has passed. The music that you added is also just perfect. You are a talented man! *If you're not watching TheRetroRunner on Twitch, you're missing out.
Thanks Sunny! It's been super cool how quickly you've become part of our community and always look forward to our hangs on stream. I tried really really hard with this one, so I'm really glad ppl seem to be digging it. Thanks for the twitch recommendation as well 😅
@GraveyardGrog man I love Creepshow. Might be my favorite horror flick. Saw this shirt at a Spencer's and had to have. Cheers and thanks for spending some time here.
@@TheRetroRunner Hell yeah, dude. I have so many different Creepshow shirts, some from Fright Rags and some from other places as well. I think it has to be my all time favorite horror movie as well! Skol!
@@mtwice4586 different people in the community. Any kill that has "plate" in it is referencing a runner named StuckInaPlate who invented or discovered the kills. I've always called the green ninjas pickle ninjas. Lemon drop comes from Arcus as he used to drink lots of lemon water. Eggs benny used to have another name based on a runner who was caught cheating, so it got changed to the Exit Boost or EB. Arcus changed it to eggs benedict for the initials.
I I'm impressed wish i was young again i used to be great with video games my brother and sisters used to be amazed the way i played the games they used to love watching me play great child hood i had 😊
@TheRetroRunner yea it's extremely underrated game some people didn't like the game me I loved it so much the story is what fascinated me about it and also the fact you could use limit break any time you wanted
That would be amazing! I certainly wouldn't turn it down 😅 . Feels like if he was going to revisit a previous video, there might be a more deserving game, like perhaps Castlevania 1. That game has insano tech now and the times are so much lower compared to when that video was released. But I appreciate the kind words and maybe one day he'll approach me with some questions re: Ninja Gaiden update vid.
Well, this is it! The Ultimate and Definitive World Record. You are the TAS Ninja Gaiden Man. Only you can beat Retro Runner, and you did it. Congrats, my dude. Well fūckīng done. 🤘
Thanks for the way too kind words haha. I still think this is a beatable record, but out of all the records we've gotten, I'm definitely most proud of this one. Thanks for watching man 🤘
Thanks for the view, the comment, and the congrats 😀 . This is over 2 years old and my 8th Improvement to this record. I don't play this game competitively anymore, but you can watch Arcus bust it any day now. I've been watching myself and cheering him on! Btw you can always watch the unedited run here, which was info you could have found in the description as well. Happy youtubing www.twitch.tv/videos/1890225973
I cant wait till someone beats The Retro Runners WR. This dude is insufferable. His whole 3-1 and 4-2 mini lyric videos just wreaks of absolute cringe. I know he deserves the WR but God help us.
Thanks for the stellar review hehe. Incidentally, if you enjoyed the music from this vid, you can get a medley of it here for free as well as other shreddy vidya game cover stuff. A couple of originals as well. theretrorunner.bandcamp.com/track/ninja-gaiden-mini-medley
It's that subweapon, what the instruction booklet calls the jump and slash technique, more commonly referred to as spin slash. It deals 1 damage per frame, so it really melts the bosses! Unfortunately not found in Act 3, and stripped from the player directly after killing the 1st of the last 3 bosses.
Thanks for everything and the absolutely STUNNING thumbnail artwork. I've gotten so many compliments on it. I will definitely make it into a shirt and poster
@@TheRetroRunner Damn, son. Sorry I've been MIA. Shit has been bonkers at work, and at home w/the kids. Hope you and Tine are doing well! I'll drop by soon.
@betterinsodapop no worries my dude. We are doin good, gearin up for wedding in less than a month ahhhhh. Lol other than that we good. Stop by when things are less hectic. Always a fun time having you in chat.
Whoa huge compliment hehe. Not close to even human theory TAS, but definitely proud of this! Run's gettin to a very fine detailed level. Thanks for watching!
With the spin slash sub weapon (that's the blue swirly one). It does 1 damage per frame, bosses can't handle it, so we use it against every boss that the game lets us. A bit more info: It actually takes 2 passes of spin slash to take down the first 2 bosses, so you can either spin in front of them and land behind them, or pre jump and land in front of them, then jump straight up, which is slightly faster. There is no spin slash in act 3. After you beat the first boss in act 6, the game strips you of any sub weapon, preventing us from using spin slash against the final 2 bosses. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
This game is infuriating. Took me three days of trying, hours at a time, to even beat it by luck the first time. A lot easier to crack with some speedrun strats 😄. Thanks for watching!
I dont know why you guys use turbo cheats in speed runs and pretend as if you didn't cheat. I would like to see these runs in a natural state. No turbo no software just regular play as you would when it first came out.
No turbo here, and it's actually pretty obvious that there isn't. Turbo wouldn't even help you in this game. To sword cancel fast like you see in the run, you have to press ⬇️ + B. It's not like engaging a turbo function for one button. You have to time 2 inputs correctly. It takes practice and a lot of failure. Stop by stream sometime 🤘! I can show you in real time. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Yeah Jerkio definitely lives up to that name. The short answer is practice. A slightly longer answer is I mimicked way smarter people who figured that kill out and I made it my own. I made a pretty ridiculously in depth tutorial on all the kills I could work out easiest to hardest on this boss. Scope it out here if you are curious th-cam.com/video/s-A6dsb1MWQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DfaH4duS_RL5zZq6
Thanks for watching long enough to make it to those parts anyway. And hey you even commented as well! That's great. Keep being you, and I will keep chasing world records and shredding guitar. No shame in honing a craft, even if just for a joke 😅🤘
@@TheRetroRunner damn it dude why did you have to be so nice with your reply? You perfectly called me out for being an asshole, without being a jerk. My bad dude, I was being a troll. Your guitar skills are actually pretty badass. Congratulations on the world record!
Arcus been grinding this HARD for the last month or so.
He's been grinding that game since 2022. real HARD. Very enjoyable
Somehow i felt that rush too, kudos to you my friend. Great content, awesome way to play the game.

Thanks so much for saying that! Means a lot to me that you enjoy them and I plan on more youtube videos.
Q: What did Ryu Hayabusa say when asked if he could complete his mission in under 12 minutes?
A: Shuriken!
Good stuff 😅👏
you beat this for 11 mins, and i beat this once for 2 days hahah, one of the hardest game i ever played. awesome game, you got my subscription

How did you make the sword go so fast like that?

Could this game be beaten any faster? I've watched you and Arcus do this 100 times and it's nearly identical every time
