New NG2 PB at 10:48, got during practice at AGDQ. No video though :\ I'll eventually beat it in a recording, no worries.
I was witness to this because we were doing casual races. Also the time was probably closer to 10:45-46 because I started the timer at pressing start on the title screen and ended it at triple zeros.
Congratulations, Duckfist! I just watched it, and it looked even better than I thought it would. I can't believe that old Hotarubi video is no longer the fastest.
Also, to update the times in NGII, I got 10:55 the other day and Vugmer got 11:15 a few weeks ago.
i remember duckfist saying in one of his streams he wasn't sure if 215 was possible for 1-1. i got one tonight, so i figured i'd highlight it and post it:http://www.twitch.tv/jimmypoopins/c/1951276. i screamed out "215!" when i got it and messed up and hit my split super early as well.
edit: sorry for bad quality of stream, and this is for ninja gaiden 2 if you couldn't tell
Did anyone notice that alpl (who published his NG1 any% 11:59 emu RTA and low% 12:42 real nes platform RTA in nicovideo ) published his NG2 10:27 emu RTA recently? Although I wonder it's reliable...
The links,http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20047200 I test the route used in the run and it's doable. And some strategies are rather tough (The two round kill of Boss 3 may partly explain why alpl didn't reset after getting 217 in 2-1).If the run is true,it reminds me of Heidman's improvement of Contra :-) Remark:Personally,I give it 30% credibility
