Contra: Shattered Soldier (Run 7: Missions 1-7, S Rank, "Mission Complete" End, Lucia) PS3 Gamechive

This video features a longplay of Konami's Contra: Shattered Soldier video game recorded from a PlayStation 3 console. (This is the PS2 version converted by Sony as a PS2 Classic on the PlayStation 3.) It showcases a solo playthrough as character Lucia on the Normal difficulty setting with Mission 1-7 gameplay. An overall "S" Rank (100% Hit Rate, no death) was obtained, resulting in a special "Mission Complete!" message. Obtaining this achievement for the first time (already unlocked previously with Bill Rizer) also unlocks the "Contra vs. Sparkster" (from Rocket Knight Adventures) movie in the Theater section.
In this mode, the player begins with two to seven lives (dependent on hours of play to unlock them, or 30 with the "Konami Code") and three credits (continues). [A fourth is added after 20 battles/14 hours of gameplay.] Unlockables and endings vary dependent on gameplay. The Konami Code increases starting lives count to 30 and is input at the game's start menu by pressing in sequential order on a plugged-in second controller: "Up, Up, Down, Down" on the D-Pad, followed by "L1, R1, L2, R2" buttons and then "Start." If input correctly, a chime will sound.

S" Rank Run Tips:
- Start with the mission (from 1-4) that proves the most difficult. This will vary by gamer. Play it. If get hit or miss a count toward 100%, reset the game from the in-game PS3 menu and try it again. (Do not waste a life and try again in the same run. It burns too much time. Lives are needed for the other three missions.) Do this repeatedly until an "S" Rank is achieved in one try. This strategy preserves number of lives and "credits" (retries).
- Continuing the run, complete the next three missions. This time, don't reset the game if these missions fail, but rather repeat them as needed (relying on the number of lives remaining to get it done). Again, if possible, don't use retries here. Rely on number of lives, instead, since these particular missions may be repeated without wasting retries.
- If possible save credits/retries for Mission 5-7. In those missions, number of lives are no longer relevant as the missions can't be manually selected and replayed like 1-4. Instead, there are only a few credits (choose Retry from the Start menu to see how many remain) from which to rely on moving forward. It's paramount to give as much margin as possible to survive and S Rank those remaining missions.
