Hm. . . The Super Shinobi(USA version, obviously) played not quite as quickly as possible. It's also not being played on the hardest difficulty available. Technically, playing with 0 Shurikens and on Difficult(Expert?) is the hardest you can get. This works immensely better in The Super Shinobi II, but can be done here, as well. Anyway. . .let's go over some stuff, shall we?
Round 1
• There was some lost time in jumping, cracking open crates, and killing things when it wasn't necessary.
• You could've taken out the boss faster.
Round 2
• More slow jumps and movements. Not impressive.
• Why did you use one of the slowest Jitsus available? Does it do all that much more damage than say. . .the self-explosion one? Technically speaking, blowing yourself up doesn't disqualify the "Takes No Damage" clause. . .
Round 3
• Nice deflection of bullets and whatnot in the fenced area. Also good use of those brick walls.
• Ya know, though. . . If you're going to keep your Shurikens up to a good number, you should use them more, instead of taking the time to stand there and slash away and people.
• The Round 3 boss could have been done way faster if you'd just used your Sword more often and been less picky about the hits. . .
Round 4
• Nice use of Shurikens in the Junkyard area. Though, I still saw some slowdown on your part in some areas.
• Beautiful use of Fushin Jitsu in the Scrap Factory area!
• Nice way to bust up that T-600, too.(Don't argue with me. That is a Terminator Series 600 in the Japanese and early releases, and even continues to look like one in Release 3, here.)
Round 5
• Again, beautiful use of Fushin Jitsu on the High Rise area, even though you took about a second to get it going.
• Man, you slowed down right before the exit on the Freeway area. What's up with that?
• Destroying the Missile Carrier could've been done at least a couple of seconds quicker than you did it. . . I'm not impressed.
Round 6
• I'm surprised they kept the kung-fu girls in in China Town. Nice use of Ikazuchi Jitsu.
• Good job on disposing of Spider-Man and, I guess, Man-Bat.(Supposed to be Batman, but it doesn't really look much like him. Even in the early releases.)
Round 7
• You do know that you can do the Spread Shuriken attack even if you have only one Shuriken, right? That could've saved you some time in the Harbor.
• Pretty decent taking-care-of of Godzilla. The Jitsu may have slowed you down a little, though.
Round 8
• Pretty nice work on the Neo-Zeed Maze.
• Eh. . . Moderate work on destroying Neo-Zeed himself.
My Vote: No.
Reasons: I was gonna vote "Meh" orignally, but a lot of things in this game could've been done faster, I notice. Boss fights, the levels, etc. Plus, for a truly interesting movie, I think someone may want to make a "Hardest Difficulty, No Shurikens" run at this, or its sequel. But that's just me.
Advice: Practice, practice, practice!
