[TAS] DS Metal Slug 7 by mtvf1 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2938M
TAS originally published on 2015-09-01
The classic Metal Slug series comes to the DS with Metal Slug 7. Although there is only one player this time, this version is notable for allowing the player to keep two weapons and switch freely between them. Also, each player has a special advantage compared to the others: for instance, Eri can use more grenades, whereas Tarma does more damage while using a Metal Slug.
This run uses Eri and Tarma, just like mtvf1 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/m... )'s first Eri/Tarma run. It improves zk547 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/z... )'s deathless run by 01:08.10, despite having to use two continues to switch between Eri and Tarma.
Also check out the runs of other Metal Slug games such as Metal Slug, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5 and Metal Slug Advance.

As much I prefer XX, this fixed the original sound effect.

[@GeeseJoestar]

Same, I hate the new sfx

[@endlessedgar4576]

The narrator from XX sounds like "Heavy Machine Gun :^D".

I wonder if there will ever be a PoW% aka rescue all pows

[@ultralowspekken]

Is it even possible to rescue all of them?

[@probotector6949]

@@ultralowspekken no clue. But if someone can find the answer, it's a TASer

[@modzomzommod8088]

How are you setting?

[@JoLiKMC]

It _looks_ like _Metal Slug…_ It _sounds_ like _Metal Slug…_ It _plays_ like _Metal Slug…_
So… why don't I _like_ this _Metal Slug_ game like I like the others? ):
This is still a really fun TAS to watch, though!
(I don't really _love_ any of the games past _3,_ honestly… Not sure why.)

Not much creativity in this one, 99% of the enemies are just the same mook, no alternative paths to speak of, there's just not much there to capture one's imagination. this game will forever stick out to me as being the most disappointing birthday present I ever got from no fault of the gifter themselves as much as the game I was expecting just didn't do anything for me and being that you can easily beat this game in less than an hour first go, it really felt like everything leading up to that moment was a waste.

[@etherealhatred]

This one is one of the most mediocre ones, from the visuals to the lack of variety and imagination, there's sections that don't even make sense like how on mission 5 you'd see Mars people in some paths because reasons?
The visuals have been terrible since they ditched pixel art for the backgrounds, there's a section on the last mission that even has a poorly compressed jpeg, it looks like a screenshot to a video on 144p

[@Prokudak]

Heavy machine gun!

[@grigorsamsa6564]

That rerecord count has got to be a flex, right?

[@jojojoma3026]

What was the touch screen used for in this game??

[@angelyovanigonzalesmarcos1678]

[@Gamesmarts194]

And we still don’t have a proper MS6 TAS…

[@toothlesstasvideo9043]

Bruh all death

[@imspunchdakoopa]

this game just looks extremely unoptimized graphics wise

[@MoonLightFML]

Was made for Nintendo DS

[@imspunchdakoopa]

@MoonLightFML yeah I get it but
Good god this game scales like shit
(I get that they tried to optimize viewing space but I'd rather just have an improved map system and a look function)
