forgiveman yeah it’s been unreal. Thanks for the good luck. I actually managed to improve the record the day after the video by a small amount, and then by 1.9 seconds a week later!
Konami code for 30 lives in Contra: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, select, start on main screen... This guy: Nah, I just need one... LEGENDARY!🙏
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. Haven't entered that in over 3 decades. Select, start is for when your friend plays and pisses you off lol
Holy crap! Congrats! We're about to review this game and I always look up speed run times as one of our many fun facts. I've never found a record on a game that we covered with a recent record break! Anyways, solid run. You'll be getting a shout out on our episode 30 contra review (which won't be out for a few weeks).
You would've heard or played it before if you were born before 2005. This is pretty much what started my interest in video games. Contra along jackal, megaman and other nes & famicom games.
actually his mash speed is slower than dk28s was. dk was getting 16 presses per second.its not just about speed though. good rhythm allows u to fire more shots in stage 2 and 4
Are you fucking kidding me? And now I must take the time to reevaluate what it means to be a gamer. You just kicked my childhood square in the balls. Epic
Metal Head Maniac the laser isn’t as effective for a speedrun as the spread gun is. It’s pretty good in the base stages, but just doesn’t cut it on any boss fights. Even so, spread is also still a faster option on the base stages.
el juego tiene alguna funcion en donde los enemigos no le hacen daño a los heroes en el minuto 2 : 45 le dan un diparo y no le hace nada el juego no cuenta
Jed Cauffield at 2:44 in the video I shoot bullets up to the left an hit a power up capsule (the grey foot ball looking thing flying up the screen on the left side.). This capsule has what the manual refers to as a “Forcefield Falcon.” You’ll notice I grab it shortly after shooting it out of the capsule and continue my jumping routine to the top. (It’s a red letter B with wings for the record.). As it’s a “forcefield” it allows me to be invincible while it’s active and run into bullets and enemies and therefore I don’t have to “avoid the bullet.”
Since it said former world record I went to see who claimed the number 1 spot. Congrats on the 9.48. I seen Arcus in there. Not that he is grinding it but what does it feel like when you see someone like him grinding the game you hold the record in?
I love seeing anyone play Contra as a speedrun. The truth is that no matter what eventually someone will take the record regardless so I never worry about that, and I’ll be happy for whoever beats my time in the future. Also, Arcus is the first person I followed on twitch and he and I having been watching each other’s streams for years now. He’s a great person all around.
@@Angrylanks thanks for the reply. Its amazing at just how many games he's good at. I got into watching speedrunning a few years back when I thought I was good at Mario and could probably beat it faster than anyone. I still laugh too myself about that now. I just enjoy watching the games that I grew up playing get destroyed kinda the way they used to destroy me.
Where you zip onto the mine cart? There is a small frame window where you can press the jump button and just zip to the top of the cart instead of jumping above. You have to be really close which is a little tricky, because if you’re too close the cart will kill you. I use the barrel of my gun as a visual reference. I point it down at an angle to see when I should press the jump button.
supra It’s a technique referred to as “vibrate mashing.” Essentially I lock my joints at the elbow and wrist, tense my muscles causing my arm to shake, and therefore reducing the amount of lift my finger has off the button. So I tend to average around 12 full presses per second when I test it. There are others who can get closer to 17 presses.
I'm trying to beat Contra Without dying... I can't believe what I just saw... Spread gun looks really weird. I know it's because of buttons mashing, but I never seen nothing like that.
You are the best, amazing run and thanks for keeping alive this old game. Consider yourself a Hero.
... it's kept alive by the enormous amount of nes fans who still play their games. Like this gentleman.
Very cool to see comradery between pro speedrunners. Love it.
Played this game countless hours as a kid. Never knew a snow level existed.
LOL! I would have never reached that level if it weren't for the Konami code. Ahh... Such good memories so long ago.
You probably played Super C.
Congratulations! You've destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. Consider yourself a hero.
And *that* is a run. Consider yourself a hero.
when your friend only lets you play their NES for 10 minutes
Bonus 2 minutes to watch the ending
Ha ha ha
Here after Summoning Salt's Contra Speedrun Video. This shit is amazing good job!
This is awesome. Summoning Salt is giving you and all your speedrun partners the respect and visibility that you deserve. Good luck on the WR.
forgiveman yeah it’s been unreal. Thanks for the good luck. I actually managed to improve the record the day after the video by a small amount, and then by 1.9 seconds a week later!
Just... simply... FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! Exactly what I wanted to see. Excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent!!!!
Fantastic run, you're a legend!!
I WAS SO HYPED!!!!!! Thanks for sharing bro!!!!!!!
Patrick Lino thanks for watching!
Amazing! I just played this with my nephew and niece... then we watched your record video and they were blown away!!!
My 10 year old self is screaming and jumping that was epic!!!!
Congrats! You are the greatest Contra player!
Impressed. To just blur through the game like that without losing a single life... whoa. Dude.
Konami code for 30 lives in Contra: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, select, start on main screen...
This guy: Nah, I just need one...
LEGENDARY!🙏
If you cant beat this game without dying and need the 30 man code. You suck
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.
Haven't entered that in over 3 decades.
Select, start is for when your friend plays and pisses you off lol
Ya got a sub.. Summoning Salts vid on Contra directed me here...are u grinding for 9:4x?...GL if u r..your rhythm and speed are a thing of beauty.
Axel Alex thank you!! I plan to keep pushing for the 9:4X for sure!
Holy shit! I thought i had fast runs at 12-15 minutes... this is insane!
Holy moly what a run.. gratz
What a legend !! 💪
Great stuff. Your button mashing is epic.
The thing I love most about Contra speedruns is listening to the controller being absolutely pummeled into submission by the runner

Secret Levels Podcast Neat! I look forwarding to hearing it!
80's 90's gaming. No hype no bullshit. Always fun and you get what you paid for.
Man you are a hero!
me playing with full cheat and using 45 lives LOL
*30
Found this via Summoning Salt, great run!
Bruh I thought I was good once til I watched you.....well done, this is my favorite game ever and you made it look like nothing lol
Well apparently I’m interested in Contra now, a game I hadn’t heard of until today
Be sure to check the sequel Super C
You would've heard or played it before if you were born before 2005. This is pretty much what started my interest in video games. Contra along jackal, megaman and other nes & famicom games.
Hey how many years have you spend on your coma?
Can't believe I missed that stream, gratz!!
It is so said to know now that after all the hours I spent as a kid trying to beat these games can be beat in 10 minutes or less.
MEGA GG Lanks!, love it
i can´t believe i missed D:
5:48 BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! BOOM!!!
you made Contra a racing game
OMG, the world's faster button tapping, you're the man!!!
The spread power up is the ultimate strat for this run.
Damn all that hyper tapping sounds like Joseph Salee playing Tetris...sick run
This is a badass video game. Nothing these days even comes close.
This and Ninja Gaiden 1+2 on NES are some of the best video games ever created.
Dude you had autoshoot on your fingers or what? Congrats man!
actually his mash speed is slower than dk28s was. dk was getting 16 presses per second.its not just about speed though. good rhythm allows u to fire more shots in stage 2 and 4
Best video on TH-cam!! I'm gonna beat your time dude!! You better get ready!!
First Name Okay

What Game Genie code did you put in to get this time?
the webcam mic really helps the ending for me.
Summoning Salt
Great run, lanks. GG. -SteelG101
Awesome stuff!
Watching this along DK after coming here first was intense even though i knew how it ended. Grats man
You did it!
what a god gamer
Are you fucking kidding me? And now I must take the time to reevaluate what it means to be a gamer. You just kicked my childhood square in the balls. Epic
I used to this too, but I killed all enemies and wasted time... What can I say, I didn't want any Red Falcon scum living to destroy earth.
Great record!
One question, what program do you use to measure time? I am new to this and I want to break my own records.
It’s called livesplit. It’s free to download. Good luck on the records!
@@Angrylanks great! thanks for answering.
Nice bro GG!, I have one question, what emulator you use?
Dannygm1 this was played on a top loader nes with the original cartridge.
impressive !
could you also use the laser or does the laser move to slow
Metal Head Maniac the laser isn’t as effective for a speedrun as the spread gun is. It’s pretty good in the base stages, but just doesn’t cut it on any boss fights. Even so, spread is also still a faster option on the base stages.
awesome bro
3:04 how does he make this jump?
th-cam.com/video/K7MjxHvWof8/w-d-xo.html
I don't care if it's only 9 minutes and 50 seconds, I still watched it in x2 because fuck normal speed.
Bad ass 🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻
Those bastard aliens never stood a chance
DBstyle
How is mash speed 16 presses per second even possible in contra?
I have no clue how to mash that fast. I usually average 12 and hit 13 on a good day.
No game is as good as contra.
el juego tiene alguna funcion en donde los enemigos no le hacen daño a los heroes en el minuto 2 : 45 le dan un diparo y no le hace nada el juego no cuenta
He is so happy lol
Holy shit stage 4 boss can speedkill??
Umm how did you "avoid that bullet" in 3:02? Clearly they don’t dissipate 🧐

Did he use turbo controller?
How does he kill bosses so fast?
when you forget the code! GG
Watching in 2020 👌

Wow!!!!!
This is fucked up. GG!

Nothing wrong with that
