Yeeeeeah! Congratulations TMR! I would hope that people keep trying to push the time, but it's getting extremely hard at this point. Amazing run, and amazing work on this game.
Awesome run TMR. Its nearly mistake free run. Its look here is still very few room possible improve that time. Let see can you push 10:02-10:03 next. Its might requires next 1000-2000 attempts push that time down.
I think you could submit your 10:05 in SDA now. Its pretty big improvement over heidman run. And this is definitely not too easy to beat that time.
BTW Which difference are JPN version? This look its a lot faster one. Is there more weak bosses or faster base levels?
http://www.twitch.tv/rayunver/c/3649062 Here is a sub 11 PB for me finally 10:50.29 after an extremely helpful and unbelievably generous tutorial from the man himself, TMR. Thanks to everyone who has made a tutorial video (Mr. K). Thanks to TMR for doing what he did. You are a great speedrunner and teacher.
That was a pretty nice run rayunver! Congrats on sub 11!
Quote from Deuceler:
The main thing this tells me is I need to get back into running Contra more frequently - Especially since Zallard beat my time by a few seconds, time to get in the sub 10:30 club!What do you say Zallard?
I'd totally like to play some more Contra and lower my time. I'll probably sneak in some Contra runs next time I stream.
EDIT: Got a new PB of 10:44 tonight on stream... with a death in energy zone. Pretty sure I'm going to want to cut way more time off of that run. Also, TMR's video for rayunver was super helpful! I'm surprised it didn't get highlighted.
Congrats to rayunver and zallard and i am glad i helped out for that to happen. Here it is the Highlight of the Quick Tutorial of Contra: http://www.twitch.tv/themexicanrunner/c/3664660 I hope this help out people to shave some seconds off their current time
The smoke continues to pour as the explosion settles over the now distant island that has been completely annihilated. Bill looks on as he hangs from the chopper, his rifle still smoking, minimal rounds of spread left. He makes the call to HQ, "Mission completed in 10:04. I'm done, I'm out for good". He nods towards Lance, flying the helicopter. It was finally time to rest...
Thank you to everyone for everything. The support, help, etc. Stay aftr the video for the celebratory convo!
Absolutely amazing. I almost thought TMR's record would never be beaten. I didn't think that I would be proven wrong so quickly. Well, huge congrats DK28, that's one hell of a speedrun. So the pause trick does help, after all.
Thanks again everyone! After I got the run, all that testosterone, it's the first thing I thought to say. This game is hard to grind, that's why we stop playing. <3
New PB!!! http://www.twitch.tv/rayunver/c/3690352 Pretty angry and sloppy run, swearing, hands are slapping, and overall mochila chicanery anyway, its 10:47.62 Enjoy!
Way to go, DK! I keep getting stutters on watching the Twitch video, but I'm incredibly impressed with what I saw and can't wait to see it on the front page.

Thanks Uilnslcoap! Sure those stutters aren't sanity effects? That's actually my bad internet. Mr K has tweaked my stuff for me, going forward should be smooth sailing. I'll probably do some more tonight for fun...
And congrats rayunver, you keep chipping away at it. Keep it up.
Bump for an even crazier time! Funny death at the end, loss of control was during the death animation. A frame count from the heart exploding with other runs clocks this run at 10:02! I am finished running Contra, again...
