I made the movie of NG1 this time,some plan about run referred to the movie of Rum and their fastest movie.
Stage1:There's nothing special to say.
Stage2:I referred to their speed plan,kept the swirl blade for both 2-1 and 2-2A.Got the amulet in 2-2B,I do this make it 1 frame faster.
Stage3:I referred to the stage plan of Xipo,got and kept the shuriken prop until the BOSS,I do this make it 1 frame faster,and fortunately I got a good random in 4-1.
Stage4:I got a good random in 4-1,so the ninja is damageless in the beginning.I discovered a bamboo footplate it can be stepped on,it make the ninja don't have to keep going up from the wall.
Stage5:I referred to the speed plan and run with damageless means.
Stage6:I referred to the plan of Rum.I I optimized the way of entering the interior wall in 2-2A.Because of the previous optimization,I got a terrible random in 2-2B and I had to use a shuriken to solve it.I changed the flight path of shuriken the last stage,this make it more pleasing to the eye.
The end time of the movie is 10:56.20(39437 frames),the time of the movie for Rum is 10:56.97(39483 frames),improved by 46 frames.
Enjoy the movie plz!

Challenger: Claiming for judging.
Challenger: Wow great to see the entire trilogy is done without getting hit at all! Ninja Gaiden is a classic that frustrated many players because of the high difficulty and once reaching the last level, Ryu must be skilled or the journey will never finish.
Even if you are an expert player, it's not easy to guarantee that the enemies won't get out of here! AVGN would be proud of this accomplishment :)
Accepting this run to Alternative for publication. Nice job guys!
In addition, a bonus note to the encoder/publisher: this run uses the Japanese version, but the game also plays fine in the US version!
