mmmBUBBLE!!!
Contra speedrunning has all of a sudden exploded and I'm no longer the plucky newcomer trying to make his mark. I'm a small fish in a sea of hungry aspiring elites.

Now that I'm doing runs on console, I'm feeling much more competent in the game. My current PB is 10:26. Sorry, I can't share a video here- it's on VHS, I have no capture card yet, and the last part of the final boss was cut off of the tape anyway :\

No biggie, really. I plan on much better times very soon:p

Anyway, there's a ton of 'easy' time to save when I complete my next run.

Base1 - I didn't have good rhythm and my boss fight was meh. An average base for me is 3 seconds better, but a good base can be 4 or more seconds better.

Waterfall - I didn't do any ledge skips and it took 2 cycles to kill the boss.

Base2 - 5 jumps to kill the upper core and 4 cycles on the boss

Alien's Layer - I literally stood around in place for 2-3 seconds doing absolutely  nothing in a stunningly stupid brain fart moment. Then, I messed up on the final boss and it was slow (maybe it's not such a bad thing that the video got cut off - lol).

BTW, congrats to Toad for taking up Contra and getting a top time in an unfathomably short amount of time. I'm not half the gamer that you are, but I'm happy to be working on the same game as you Smiley

10:04

go ahead and post this now but I am pretty close to bopping 10 minutes. 

zmick I'm expecing that sub 10:15 soon and thanks <3
Wow, two great posts in a row!
Updating now.
mmmBUBBLE!!!
Well, hey, even Zmick can get a PB once in a while.

10:24. My first submission completed on an actual console. It could have been a lot better, even with my mistakes. I got trolled pretty hard by Krang this time.

I'm honing in on 10:15. I had a run on pace for it die to today, as they do most of the time. It's coming. Be prepared.
Good going Zmick! Now beat that 10:15 Cheesy

I got this run. It's somewhere around 11:20, but my run has a weird twist to it. My cartridge was excessively glitched to the point that you can barely tell what is happening. I played it safe for sure because of it. I still pulled off some good stuff here and there throughout the run. Let me know what you guys think of it.

I didn't mean to share that quote above the video post. Not sure how that happened.

This is amazing and hilarious Cheesy
Thanks, Saint Connor! I'm glad someone enjoyed it.

10:22 Smiley
Awesome!
SPEEDruns not SAFEruns
Alright, since this is where all the cool Contra kids hangs out I guess I'll post again. Finally returning to Contra to cut 10:30, we'll see how adventurous I get but cutting the Heidman would be pretty ace. I'll be doing lots of attempts in a 10 days or so when I get home.

38 attempts in and got a 10:46. Run was really awful and I'm looking forward to improving it soon!

Got a decent PB today on my first run! Got a 10:31. I really need to improve my mashing and spread rhythm - I'm getting a better feel for using my index/thumb instead of just my thumb and it feels much more efficient. My boss fights are really slow, mainly Base 1, Waterfall, Base 2, and Energy Zone. Need to really work on Waterfall boss 1 cycle and being more efficient on killing the Base 2 boss's second head. Anyway, check it out and let me know any suggestions you have for improving. I know most slow spots but always like hearing feedback!

Nice! I wouldn't be surprised if you knocked out a sub 10:25 soon Smiley
mmmBUBBLE!!!
10:19! I've finally joined the Contra teeny-bopper club!

I almost had you, Hurblat. Level 7 got the best of me this time. Coming back over the next few days with more attempts- with a vengeance!

https://www.twitch.tv/zmick_trick/v/83501665

Although at this point, I know I'm capable of much better, than my current PB it's surreal to think of how far I've come since I started this journey just over a year ago. I would have never believed that by this summer, I'd have a 10:19- and have a realistic shot at 10:10 or better some day.

It's been hard, but it's been fun Smiley
It's only a matter of time! Cheesy

Yesterday I got a 10:18. Today a 10:16. I'll post the vid later, but here are some spoilers.

Level 1: lost 2.25 seconds to the troll wall pattern

Level 2: Dropped spread rhythm multiple times and completely failed the boss fight.

Level 3: 2 cycle boss

Level 4: 4 jumps for the room with the core near the ceiling, but got the two cycle boss kill which made up for all of my lost time.

The rest of the run was just picking up minuscule amounts of time here and there until the finish.

Edit: here it is.

Poverty PB. New and improved, with 50% more base2 boss cycles!

Hurblat and Toad have challenged me to beat 10:15. Well. Maybe one day.
