The GG 忍 Shinobi Any% Speedrun in 9:55.883 (WR)
27Played and recorded on Kega Fusion 364 emulator.
Timing starts as soon as I select the first stage and it stops as soon as I lose control over my character after defeating the final Boss (Red rising up from a crouch position/when Boss explosion completely ends).
Edit: Originally submitted to SRC as 9:57 by using a different timing method compared to all the other runners (I was starting the timer with the Start button press during intro/main menu which is slightly slower)
Resubmitted on September 13th 2021 as 9:55. The exact time is 9:55.883 (frame counted using Virtual Dub 1.10.4)
------------------------------
An improved PB played on May 8th 2018. I actually didn't think it was possible to get a time under 10 minutes, but here it is. I'm super proud of this run, it has been a journey so far.
Amazing first 4 stages, amazing Neo City and got the perfect RNG in Neo City too (Yellow vertical geysir room - however it is tough to time those jumps and actually catch the geysirs in time so I didn't realize this is actually the best RNG here until recently; Blue disappearing blocks room - best RNG too, however I almost messed up the Green boss refight prior to blocks room, but despite having to throw one extra bomb-the perfect RNG was still waiting for me, I wasn't late to miss the first platform so it's ok).
Special thanks to Kaddath R for showcasing Green's jump single shuriken into burst in his speedruns. I got a lot of mileage from that trick, it makes Green completely viable in these sections despite his low damage and enables me to clear a lot of parts without stopping with him
