Contra isn't really interesting to speedrun if you ask me.

I was going to do a run on the PAL version, which is called "Super Probotector: The Alien Rebels", when I get my capture thingys.

I can run the game easily without dying on easy but hard is another thing, best I've gotten is with one continue. And if I get my friend to it, we could do the first 2 player run here in the Other Games section Tongue

-- on hard, ofcourse.

I have couple of suggestions and questions. I think the game should have records for easy and hard. On easy bosses die faster, there are much more less normal enemies and the last boss dies a moment too early. Normal just sucks, I think I've finished it like once :P.
As for the questions, would the "fast shooting" be allowed? It works like, while pressing Y to shoot, tap X to change weapons and it will atleast double the firing speed if not way more :P. I have no idea if it was intended or not.

Thanks Shocked

Doesn't matter if it was intended or not (which it probably wasn't), it's not anywhere close to being against Radix's rules. In fact, MP, granddaddy of the Other Section had a rapid fire glitch for missles (although it still isn't exactly RAPID fire...)

Do you have a video of your effort ?

Yeah, well, I just want to be sure Tongue

The rapidshooting allows you to kill bosses before they can even react, so I was just thinking.

I don't find watching Contra III boring... atleast if someone plays it solo on Hard without dying Tongue

Which I think might be somewhat impossible ;p

No I don't. I can't record any runs done on console yet. Ofcourse, I could record it on VHS but sending the tape from Finland, meh Tongue

Foppies!

I see no reason why rapid firing would be disallowed as long as you don't use a turbo controller. In fact, you can use it very strategically if you have two different weapons, or you can use it to get more rounds from the same weapon at once if you have two of it. (Like lasers.)

welcome to the machine

If you want a run on a game that isn't featured here, do it yourself. Requests largely get ignored, and just end up cluttering the forums. Plus, they annoy me.

I don't understand your purpose...
If i make a demand on this topic, it's certainly because I'm enjoying watching record video. It's impressive (for me) and it's fun !! AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DO IT ! :madpunch:
If you are disappointed by this kind of discussion, just words : Get out of this topic ! :shorty: My title is enough explicit to interrest the good persons.

Do you know where you are ? In a forum... where people can exchange informations. I'm looking for a video of a videogame-hero who made a speedrun. That's all, and if nobody's answer me that's not important.

Remember-> :bird:

welcome to the machine

Except, with practice, you *are* able to do it. That's what annoys me about speedrun requests. Anybody can do them; they just refuse to admit that and solicit someone else instead. Tongue

Regardless, you were right in saying that I should not have posted in this topic. For that, I apologize. But meh, I would still appreciate it if you didn't post another topic like this in the future.

And -_- at your last line. Surely you can come up with something more original? An awesomely worded diatribe directed at my parentage, for example? >_>

Regardless, this will be my last post in this topic.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

They have a speedrun video of Contra 3 on the SNES at this page, The game was beaten on the hardest level in 13:40 and with the best ending.

Just to give a heads up, that's a tool-assisted run as well. So, it's pretty much as perfect as it can get.

First time i thank you TigerClaw, i'll download it. The website you show me should spend time for a long time :)))

Second, Maur don't worry i was not registred to make many demand like that. It's just that i was looing for it that's all.
Are you an Administrator of this forum ? In that case, i don't type this kind of topic again. But else... sorry, i permit myself to do it again.
For the last word i said in my last post, it was simply nice joke. Do take this too seriously. ;-)

No, I'm not an admin, and probably have no chance of becoming one. And I won't take what you said seriously... >_>
