Gradius 2 is the third series of Gradius. It introduces the plane of Viper that will fight your way to save the world. There are four Types of weapon that you're gonna choose. Hopely, your goal is to fight your way in space by going into the cell and defeat the brain. This run is 22 seconds faster than my previous run that is not published movie and Ouzo's run by 98 seconds without rerecords in Speedrun competition in Gradius II Survival Thread.

You used FCEU 0.98.16 to record this movie. The ROM is named: Gradius 2 (J).nes. The J indicates that it is a Japanese game. You can press the fire button to kill enemies in this game. But also, "speed-ups" will make you move faster. You moved fast by speed-ups. In the author Info: you can type your nickname or your real name so people can use their eyes to get information of who the author is. You used your fingers to type your nickname. A nickname is usually a substitute for a persons real name. You choosed to type your nickname and not your real name.

You played Gradius 2 for the NES in 22:21.15. It all autoscroller. You do not kill all enemy. You have very low rerecord. You make long wait times. Long wait times + not kill all enemy + not do anything special= Long boring movie= No vote.
You made Gradius 2 tool assisted speedrun that beats previous run by 22 seconds, and Ouzo's run by 98 seconds without rerecords in Speedrun competition in Gradius II Survival Thread. You can use rerecords to undo mistakes that are made. This movie is 22 minutes and used 409 rerecords. With 5 powerups, you can get option. You used 4 options in your movie. Options fire weapons just like the ship does. When bosses are fought, lots of weapons are fired with options. Lag are produced when too many moving things appear on the screen. Lag slowed you down. I have to vote no, sorry.
Would it have been possible to use the shield as a weapon? ...Or would that knock the options out of alignment too quickly?
I was amused, overall. Mainly because it's a Konami game, and they do good music. That's not much of a basis for voting, so I'm not going to.
I'm wearing pants, but no socks.
This looked like a normal playthrough that happened to use rerecords. It's a nice looking movie, but since there could be so much better for the game I'm going to have to vote no.
You seemed to have inconsistent goals. You got forcefield but you shouldn't, you destroyed some but not all of the red suns, when dodging enemies in level 2 you didn't go inside the ones that loop in a sine pattern, you destroyed too many enemies in level 2 and not enough in level 1, etc. I didn't watch past level 2 bosses because the second of them was destroyed too late.
Please start with clearer goals in mind, use idle time for entertainment, and post WIPs in a thread on this forum for feedback on small sections.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster.
I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.
LOL! I'll get more rerecords by retrying each point where I saved the state. I'll do better by killing like almost every enemy. I don't want to miss the shot. I'll be accurate and be good. In some boss, I continue shooting when the target is destroyed. It will take up to five hits of force field before fading out. In level 3, when you get to the ice section, each time you shoot the ice cube, it causes a slowdown. In my run, I focus on avoiding the ice cube in some section rather than shooting the ice cube. I used force field in every level that I haved on my submission's that aims for fastest time on Speed Run for Gradius 2 for NES. I'll try to aim for entertainment. The Force Field is not a Weapon, its a Defensive that allows to take 5 hits before fading.
Oh, sorry I'm triple posting and I had to use the edit function. But, I've had to post one at a time. How can I delete the post when I don't see the X icon? I moved my post into where I first posted about the retry movie.
