Thanks for asking. I've arrived the middle of Mission 2. Unfortunately AngerFist still haven't fixed the crashing problem.

And HappyLee wants to learn how to watch the bosses's HP... well it's kinda difficult because the emulator crashes when we try to use the RAM Search with this game.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Yes, now I'm improving the Boss of Mission 1. I was getting bad luck the whole day :(

Here is a WIP before MISSION 4.
http://www.mediafire.com/?jll4318hh233qqk
This is a "main route" run,having least cutscene.
Making a fastest run and abandoning the other route is not better than making two different route run for this one I think.
I will finish it in a week.
x2poet, Could you post WIPs of your run if you get a chance? I would like to look over the strategies that you use for each Mission.
Also, Its faster if you pick Fio rather than Marco on the character selection screen.
A question about the finished run - can't you kill the last boss faster if you use the flamethrower with one of the players, while the other one keeps hacking the brains?
Hey guys, I'm working on a new tas for this game and I'm at the part where you fight the two giant crabs before the first boss.
Apparently, in this video http://v.youku.com/v_playlist/f745820o1p2.html it's possible to skip fighting the second crab, but I haven't been able to replicate this yet. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and how to do it?) or if it's just an emulator glitch? This skip happens at around 1:08
here's the wip

Edit: found out how it works. It only works on the decrypted version. the questions is then, is the decrypted version accectable?

No. All runs have to use a good dump. Read here for more details.
That is quite an awesome WIP. One thing though, You use bombs in some strange places. Like at the beggining of the run when you were getting on the beach.
I look foward to the progress if youre not pre-occupied with NSMB.
I see. Good thing I've using the encrypted version then!

I used the bomb at the beginning to clear the way so that they (marco and fio) could continue jumping uninterrupted. It's similar to the current run, where X2poet uses two bombs to blast one zombie out of the way in mission 2 (the part where there's two POW's and the guy in the suit who gives the thundercloud).
Now that that's settled, I can continue working on this.

You may discover the time you use the bombs is not enough the time you save in the boss battle.
In Mission 2,I saved 5 bombs to hit the boss,that is enough,but what you say is a different situation,you may do many different experiment.
Some of them I have tried.
1.don't use bombs in the boss battle
2.1 bomb
3.2 bomb or more
4.don't use "I"
5.which player do you save the bomb
5.which player get the armor first.
So...

The link you give is a team called "MSV" in China.
I hate them.
Though they play in real-time,they insult all the Chinese TASers.
As soon as my MS movie published,they revile us in most of forum in China.
Since there was no topic at SDA for Metal Slug 3, I thought I would post this here.
A new run popped up a few weeks ago that completes the game in 25:01!
Link to video
Theres a lot of new stuff in this run, mostly in the Final Mission. I have a feeling that the Shotguns dropped at 22:08 will drastically change the run.
Actually, that run was made a few years ago, back in 2008. It just never found its way to youtube. The video is from a group in South Korea called "Metal Slug Combat School." They have a lot of useful tricks on the ms series. Though it's not mentioned in the video, the run was actually "segmented." You can see in 10:46 that he switched recording slots. Nevertheless, it is an awesome run, near tas quality.
I have a feeling that the Shotguns dropped at 22:08 will drastically change the run.
That's my plan too, to get two shotguns from the two robots. They will drastically change the run because for some reason, the big F can't do its full potential damage against the capsule(?) thing (where the kidnapped player is trapped). I have a feeling that on two-player level 8, I'll have to save some grenades to use on it so that I could save some shotgun bullets to help destroy the doors in the next section.
cant watch it.Where is the S?
The shotguns are dropped by the two robots that come from the left in the part where you go against the clones (The part where you also get the metal slug).
