Contra: Shattered Soldier / 真魂斗羅 Machine Gun only (All Stages) Speedrun in 34:50
9Cleaned this run up a bit since my last PB, improving by 21 seconds. I leave about 20 seconds on the table in this run. My first PB I posted: the 35:11 ... the video was incorrectly cropped. Sorry! So I wanted to PB and get a better looking video.

Some notes about this run: I use the Machine Gun exclusively which includes its charge attack the Bullet Pod. This forces you to use what I call "Full Partial Charges" - these are charge shots released just before full charge. They do significant damage - but the timing for them is a bit strict; about 3-4 frame window (out of 60fps). If you release late you get a Bullet Pod which is often not preferred, and if you release early you get significantly less damage, I think the next step down for partial charge damage is 20% of a full partial charge. Therefore this run relies on the FPCs. By using FPCs you can still kill bosses and various targets very quickly, as one would using the Energy Shot aka the Flame Thrower's charge.
