Metal Warriors is one of my favorite SNES games so after I watched a lot of the speed runs on this site (especially megaman and metroid ones) I thought a run of this game would be pretty fun and quick to watch
I've beaten the game a few times so I know a thing or two about it. I started the speed run and completed the first level, with only a few hundred rerecords (just as a test mostly). but I did it without taking damage even though it's definitely faster (not a whoooole lot) to take damage, but the problem with that (for me) is that you have to pretty much run directly into any bad guys holding shoot until they die. and that doesn't look so cool
another problem with the game I'm having is with the 3rd level where you must defend a ship against a number of bad guys that attack you, but they all around you, far away and off screen. you have a gun which can hit them from any distance but.. I don't know how to figure out when and where they all spawn and shoot them perfectly!
But I'm just wondering what everyone thinks
