I think this might be a little faster than st4nzzz 12:50 run, but either way, I plan to go lower. Stage 7 was bad, and the last boss kill was a bit slow. More to come.
@@mcnall34 I know...the fire has now become my go to for the final boss. I like to have spread for stages 2 and 6; other than that, I can go with either
the moment with the mouths is probably the only dishonest place in the game. I've tried many different ways (yours too). One out of ten times I am always randomly killed by a mouth that appears right in me. I was a little disappointed in the game when I discovered this.
30 years ago myself and a neighbor buddy got to the last level after months of trying. The game started to get fuzzy and froze. 30 years later I still let loose a 4 letter tirade when I die in battlefield.
I guess not everyone will noticed why sometimes the fireball will split more then 5 pallet in this game. In nes port, it can charged for a brief moment for extra pallets
We need new competitions aside from speedruning. Marathons, for instance. How many loops of Castlevania can you do in one life. Tie broken by distance of last run.
Hi, I'm able to get the ceiling to drop, but I don't understand the pausing to prevent dying. I can't find a walkthrough or a video that explains it. I've always loved this game, and I want to be one of the best at it. I'll keep digging for TAS videos that might explain it better, but anything you could share would be greatly appreciated. GG!
Hey there! So the pausing trick is complicated. The purpose of it is to keep the F gun for the boss fight, and make that kill way faster. In terms of what the pausing is doing to prevent the deaths, is based on four moments when the screen will kill your character. I’ve heard that these four moments are frame perfect ( one 60th of a second) and require your pauses to take place on those exact four frames. My approach is to do something around 8 pauses in a rhythm of sorts so that they meet up at times with the four moments I need to find for survival. So that’s 8 well timed pausing and unpausing moments (roughly). Hope this makes a little more sense of what’s happening there. There is also a discord channel for contra speedrunning. The whole series is in there. I can link that for you if you’d like it. Lots of folks to talk strats with there
The fire weapon can be charged up in this game. If you hold b down for a little bit and release it, it’ll be bigger in size, shoot off more fireballs when it hits something, and do much more damage.
I think people have uploaded videos of mashing techniques. Lemme see if I can find one to link here in the replies for you. It’ll give you the basic idea at least.
@@Angrylanks May ask you a little question? That glitch you performed between 11:47-11:51, is that even possible in the PAL version? I tried it so many fn times, but the result is that I am going slightly mad, because I can't t get it by any means! 🙂
It’s the normal release. You can hold B for a brief moment and charge up the F gun in this game. The fire will look bigger than normal and have 8 smaller fireballs shoot out instead of the typical 4 after it hits an enemy.
It’s a bit complicated. Basically there are 4 moments where the screen can crush and kill you. All of them happen at a 1/60th of a second moment. So basically you just try to rhythmically pause and unpause hoping to have pause at those 4 specific moments. I usually do somewhere between 6-7 pauses and hope for the best.
It's amazing how much the fire weapon has improved from the first being useless to the second being the best
Crazy right? The Spread is still a god damn national treasure but Fire in Super C is ridiculous.

You got this lanks!!!
Wow, and I thought my 18 minute times on the original console were impressive. Well done man!
Our whole existence is just passed down knowledge

They are definitely annoying to say the least.
When you kill the aliens it sounds like a cat is going "Mew"
You beat the record by 5 seconds

Spots for minor timesaves are at:
10:03 10:34 12:48
Great 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊

So close dude. You will get it next time.

It’s inevitable now!

How did u destroy the cannon in one shot

@@Angrylanks thanks bro ...
I'm a fan of your talent .... I sometimes sit down and eat while watching your runs 👊
not bad dudes 😁
Is there a video where you can see how you press the button? Sounds like plastic machine gun is going of everytime you shoot things lol

@@Angrylanks Interesting... Thanks for that mate!
@@EazyThaBone no problem
Is this NTSC version?
Yep!

@@SalDOWN I’m honestly not sure, but I asked some folks in the discord. I’ll let you know if they get back to me.
@@Angrylanks Thank you very much, sir! ^^
@@SalDOWN seems like it is possible on the pal version. Which part is it you’re having trouble replicating?
ABBA
Bro which version is this in my version f power is not powerful as much as yours
