[TAS] Arcade Ghouls 'n Ghosts by Xipo in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1298M
TAS originally published on 2009-06-14
Ghouls 'n Ghosts is the sequel to the brutally hard Ghosts 'n Goblins, and is brutally hard in its own right. This run is of the original coin-op version, which is most similar to the Genesis one. One of the major differences is less armor from chests.
Creative use of damage and picture perfect boss fights combine with some glitchy looking jumps as xipo takes on Lucifer's many demons. The game is completed twice (which is necessary to get the ending) and along the way we are treated to some fabulous Engrish and more information than necessary about the damsel in distress.

You beat the game, and then rhe game was like, "Lol, Nah. Do it again."

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

You'll get twice as many quarters out of kids if they have to play through the whole game twice. _taps forehead_

[@d.howlett395]

Do it again, now with a shit weapon!

[@Wasabialt]

Every arcade game made by Capcom was like that.

[@tracer0967]

@wasabialt wait really?

[@anthonymanzalji]

Love the soundtrack to this game.

[@twotoned2774]

@@Stevie-J Firebrand is the name of one specific Arremer, the Red Arremer King is the specific type of Arremer that's found in this Ghouls n Ghosts entry.

[@beximus]

3:00 i love the galaga reference here

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

That's interesting because Ghouls 'n' Ghosts was developed by Capcom, not Namco. This was obviously well before the age when computer game companies started getting all touchy about their IPs appearing in other franchises

[@survivorofthecurse717]

My guess is that they either did that little bit themselves or referenced Galaga's precedent, Galaxian

[@Adeptzed]

Congraturation!

[@Evertide05]

"There's evil afoot! I gotta hop to it!"

[@Alpha-Trion7]

THIS STORY IS HAPPY END!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is sooooooo hard right now

[@LittleMasterPhox]

4:21 me encanta este juego que hasta cracko de Kirby aparece

[@bioniclebert]

Curious, at times like 4:31, 4:48, why does the player intentionally walk off an edge as opposed to jumping forward?

[@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy]

I was wondering the same thing. My guess would be to manipulate monsters in some way.

[@solarflare9078]

Jumping at 4:31 will get you to the higher platform, which is ultimately slower.
At 4:48, you can still hit the crystal ceiling, which hurts you.

[@diegorivera3295]

Nice

[@playnalisis]

Can I use your video for a G&G comparison? I WILL put your YT CREDITS ON THE info page

[@MuzikO0O0]

[@supersonicsaga]

I guess those 3 sizes were necessary for the princess.

[@doslover]

Sir Arthur was a rather jumpy lad.
You mean he was scared a lot?
Not exactly...

[@NN-ix9wf]

Arthur is a Chad

[@Catswholesome]

He is more than that

[@Thornbloom]
