Here is my optimized (though I have to test not firing blue shots near the very end) version of the first stage: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4e8a237aaf15a0b82fb2ca15d7ea42d92410fa3b1cce81265be6ba49b5870170 Edit: Now I obviously want to continue my run but I prefer if someone would find the time and try using 2-players and tas the first stage for comparison. The lag is prominent even using one player and that is why I cannot fire often at various enemies.

I just finally finished the second stage. Grab the link http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=85029ecd9d77740a0de4fc1039a016744710a6f8ee1fe2b4ce018c8114394287 if you wanna see the movie. Interesting thing to say about this stage is that the shotgun is a badass and strong weapon which the boss certainly experienced. The fight was over so quickly :)

Hah, nice. I had to watch it twice to actually notice you were using the shotgun in the second stage boss. :P Looking really good so far. --- By the way, the person who wrote this should be fired:

I went ahead and did a 2 player of the first level http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FBPHKI8U It's slower then the 1 player, due to more enemies and higher hp Need to redo the last part so that the camel gets the grenades, I didn't know how it would work out in the end. Could be optimized more. The helicopter fight in particular. I just don't have enough hands. A few notes about the single player run. You can get out of the parachute earlier. I've heard that the firing rate with most weapons is faster when crouched. http://speeddemosarchive.com/kb/index.php/Metal_Slug_%28series%29 edit I optimized the boss and now it's about a sec quicker then the one player

Nice. Did you use two or one player for the boss fight? If you used one player, then I will forfeit :)

I recently saw a video where a player rappidly crouched and un-crouched to increase the firing speed of his pistol. It looked quicker, though it was not tool assisted, and I do not know if it truley has any additional effect or not. (I'd post a link, though forgotton who the video belonged to, meant to save it to post in this topic actually.) Might be something worth testing.

Hmm well the problem with crouching is that I normally always jump cause jumping is obviously faster than walking so there havn't been many opportunities to try this method but will try it later. Also on some bosses & minibosses, I am always jumping and standing close to them so that my projectiles can connect as soon as possible. By the way, I am soon gonna face the third stage's boss, which will be a big pain because apparently it can take a lot of damage before it dies.. Now stage 4 on the other hand looks much more easier :)

I guess it depends on how often you have to stop to kill enemies. For those where you do have to stop, if crouching really does give you a faster firing rate, it seems like you'd want to crouch for most of the shots, then start jumping forward when the enemy is about to die so you're as far right on the screen as possible. Or does having your bullets hit enemies quickly give some other benefit?

Nothing as far as I'm concerned other than killing them faster. Now, here is a fresh new wip, completing stage 3: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=85029ecd9d77740a0de4fc1039a01674a757550cc937f6d55621d66e282a0ee8 It was very tough finishing this stage, so many minibosses. I manipulated one of the aircraft so that the upcoming 3 aircrafts would be aligned. I need to test if its faster or slower taking a hit from those red deadskulls at the final boss. Enjoy!

That's weird, it did sync for me; but it wouldn't be the first time a run syncs for some and it doesn't for others... Stage 3 was really funny, by the way. :P

And here is Mission 4 complete! http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=db779ed375cf26aae7ba8e3c6e11ce207f1b13c7ecb626aed8c7c6998cb4ca21 Summary: Easy stage to finish :) However, stage 5 is going to be one huuuuge nightmare :( Its so agonizing to watch Neo-tze's speedrun because he did it on pin point mode (= unlimited amo). Enjoy watching and wish me luck :)

Thanks man :D I really could use some help to determine how you can get the Super Grenade like Neo-tze and Philipe Henry managed to get by killing the last train in mission 5. Here is my latest wip. Since there is no ram watcher (I think?) its extremely difficult to find out. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=db779ed375cf26aae7ba8e3c6e11ce20589dd98a935560e20ac99885da44e881 Edit: I found a solution to my problem, its not exactly pretty but it works :D I'll upload a wip when I am done with mission 5. After that, Its time to submit this baby.

Oh boy! I am so happy :) I am finally done with mission 5. As I predicted, it was a nightmare mission. I redid a few times here and there, managed to find a solution with the amo at the incoming trains section and overall, I am really happy how things turned out. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=738bd50d7adec3f3e62ea590dc5e5dbbea8df284c9a8a2d9f0a154af670496da This will be the final WIP before its time to hit the submission button :) Just one more mission left!

It desynch for me in level mission 3. You are fat and you get hit. Then you die. Level mission 1 and 2 are superb. But you should play in hard level 8, obtainable with F2 (service mode). This run not plays at hardest level, be prepared for a no vote.

Replay once more and it should play all the way. It does that sometimes.

There are some runs that delibrately dont use the hardest difficulty for various reasons. In my case, the lag will kill the entertainment.

Sorry I was too rude, I did not think level 8 bring lag. The TAS here is entertining, keep at it and I will vote yes after all.

I just replayed Metal Slug 2 (beat it with 7 continues! Woot!) and got an amusing, if pointless, glitch on the last level. I died at the same time that the last boss did, and somehow kept a pistol grunt around through the endgame cutscene. He was running back and forth firing his pistol at where the mothership used to be, while his leader fell face-first into the snow. I wouldn't be surprised if you could do this with MSX too.

The first wave of aliens (the gray ones) don't come down and are skipped, allowing you to fight the second wave (the brown ones). Actually there are other ways to skip the first wave of aliens. Another way is to stand on top of the box(?), just a little left of the metal post, jump straight up and press right when the character is at the peak of the jump here. The grenade trick is new to me. You can see it being done in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z11i3DAeXVY&list=FLIABn__MdIoJEYQYam-_6-g&index=2&feature=plpp_video It's a speedrun on level 4. skip to 14:40.

I can't watch this. I found some new tricks to improve it,just like slug's fast jump. I'd like to improve it in a newer Emulator,because X may take some desync problems,that is painful.The others are no problem.

Do the work.
