Around 2 hours 57 minutes to beat. Technically a 1 CC run (no continues used) but I farmed my lives up to 30 on stage 3. Thats the only part of the video that I edited.
Farming portion edited out on stage 3. It just involves standing in one place and holding the fire button for about 20 minutes and that was with fast forward used on the emulator. Probably over 40 minutes on the console. Probably didnt need to do that to win in this run but it worked.
Stay tuned for a tutorial version which will have better runs and strategies for the bosses, then this playthrough. Some parts got sloppy toward the end. I had better attempts on alot of the bosses in my practice sessions, so with a little more time this run wouldnt have been as sloppy in some parts. I didnt really practice the stages with isolated practice too much. Only around 2 hours of practice on the game before doing my full attempt at the run.
