Guy sets world record on contra 9:53

seems to me that it only takes him a couple of rounds to blow up stuff that took me 15 or 20 rounds. I think something is off on this. Even if i was as good as him, which i`m not, it just seems to easy to kill the main bosses.

Hard to buy this one. He was killing bosses with one shot

He is not cheating. The guy is well known in the speed running community and has appeared in many live AGDQ events. The follow was copy and pasted showing you how they exploit the spread shot for maximum damage.

With the spread gun, you can have up to ten shots on the screen at once (and 16 shots at once with two players). Press B twice and you'll usually end up with 10 shots on the screen - two waves of 5 shots. Let's say that three shots have left the screen before the other shots did. You've got have 7 shots on the screen so you're below the 10 limit. The game will let you fire another "wave" of spread, but it can't go above 10 so you get a "wave" of 3 spread shots. Let's say that you then had 8 shots on the screen, the next time you fire you get a "wave" of 2 shots and so on. The directions the shots go depend on how big the "wave" is, but it always has a shot going straight. The idea is that by rhythmic shooting you can get the "waves" of spread to shift into a straight stream. If you don't press the B button repeatedly at the right frequency the smaller waves will go offscreen and you'll get the broader waves of 5. The process is the same for base stages, but it's much harder. Shots will usually disappear at the same time because they all hit the wall at the end of the hallway at the same time. If a shot hits an enemy or another object those enemy'the collision happens before the other shots hit the wall. You have 1/60th of a second to press the B button to get another wave off before the rest of the shots hit the wall. Keep repeating the process to get a straight stream of spread. If you don't press the B button repeatedly at the right frequency the smaller waves will go offscreen and you'll get the broader waves of 5.

Yea I'm a huge fan of agdq and sgdq, no these guys don't use game genie, they just mastered the exploits that in the games. They have different genres any% which they just blow through it as fast as possible using exploits, then they have 100% which is very little exploits doing everything in the game like the guy who does the chrono trigger 100% run in 3 hours and 30 mins it's insane
