Impossible Ninja Gaiden no hit run done possible!

[Frindis]

This one is, to quote Cypress Hill is: "Insane In The Membrane" Thanks to Karl Jobst on YouTube for making me aware of this amazing feat. Basically, the last boss in Ninja Gaiden on Nintendo was thought to be IMPOSSIBLE to beat without getting hit by the head, alas making a no-hit run not possible. Hundreds of years later (30 to be precise) this was proven wrong. I believe Karl Jobst does a better job of explaining this feat, so I hope you care to give it a gander:

I also want to share with you the full stream from Slackanater, the man, the myth, and LEGEND who made this all possible. The time and dedication this had to take, I don't even want to think about. This is some superior kick-ass stuff:

Nice! Love these kind of mini docs and this is a new channel to me, think I've watched nearly all of the Summoning Salt speed run vids. If you havent seen them I highly recommend those too.

@Johnway Trying to get my nephew to speedrun after watching the Minecraft one. I think my Nephew with thousands of hours in Minecraft could be able to make some solid runs. Parts of the speedrun are definitely luck-based, but you also need to be familiar with the whole shebang. Time will tell

@Frindis my personal favs are the doom records. karl's videos for the chasm, void gliding, pacifist run of doom 2 of map 2 are my personal favs. Interesting, informative and most importantly damn entertaining.

@Johnway The pacifist runs are just crazy! My favorite one is the Quake record (timestamped):

My thoughts exactly. I'm not and likely never will be a speedrunner, but the way he breaks it down in layman's terms, and the extent he goes to in his pursuit of information and entertainment, is incredible. I'm definitely going to give this one a watch. ^^
