I did this with sor2 and my mate who watched me clear it was disgusted and called me a disgrace. Mania is just too damn hard for me and I never could get past the baseball stadium elevator.

I play real shooters like quake and serious sam. None of that gay spaceship shmup crap or faggot beefcake run n gun homosexuality

>>8735636
>real shooters like quake and serious sam
>quake

kek good one anon

>>8735630
Sor2 sucks anyway just play a better game

>>8735630
>I did this with sor2 and my mate who watched me clear it was disgusted and called me a disgrace
harsh

>>8735449
Considering there are multiple genres of games and run and guns are easily one of the worst, yes.

>>8735670
I put sor2 up there with the best beat em ups.

>>8735449
considering that metal slug is mediocre, yeah probably

>>8735449
I completed the 1st one w only 3 credits back in the day, am I cool enough to hang with you?

>>8735630
>I did this with sor2 and my mate who watched me clear it was disgusted and called me a disgrace.
Lmao based

>>8735449
nah i couldn’t pull that shit off on metal slug 3 and that was the only one i wanted to 1cc

>>8736669
That game is one tricky devil

>>8736056
>>8736313
Dumb zoomers. Name a single run and gun that even comes remotely close. There are only 3 games that do, and they are all very different in gameplay and aesthetic.

>>8737014
>Name a single run and gun that even comes remotely close.

Turrican

yes i can because youre a dumb moron

>>8737043
Kek, not even close. Why are you naming shitty console run and guns, it's not even a fair comparison. The music, animation, sprite work, controls, destruction/interactivity, level layout and boss design of Metal Slug mog everything that came out before or after it. The only games that are comparable are on purely gameplay merits and even then they are completely soulless in comparison in terms of presentation.

>>8735449
I don't call myself a gamer though
I also never played Metal Slug

>>8735630
I wish I had friends who cared enough about games to make fun of me for playing on easy

>>8737043
That's a running shit, run and gun. You're trying way to hard zoom zoom.

>>8737014
Mega Man

never had enough quarters to best one of these arcade games

>>8735449
I suck at arcade games and even I found Metal Slug one to be easy.

>>8737564
Metal Slug is definitely the easiest of the Metal Slug games (well if you exclude Metal Slug Advance since that has a healthbar), but the challenge is in 1CC or 1LC it. It's just short and simple to pick up and play and the gameplay and artwork is just timeless.

>>8735449
I could probably do the first one after a few tries, but the sequels - with aliens, crabs, mummies, zombies and all that jazz - doubt it. The second one, maybe... Would definitely need to memorize a lot of sections, would take me ages, but probably doable. Metal Slug 3? No way in Hell, fuck that, wouldn't even attempt it.

>>8735484
top row: canon
low row: not canon

>everything fucking explodes

badass

>>8737014
Super Contra

>>8737014
Dolphin Blue

>>8735484
wait... lol
I thought for all these years X came after 3

Does it count as a 1cc if I set the game to easy and my starting lives to 7?

>>8737742
lol have you beaten advance?
Its pretty fucking brutal.

Imagine having such a lack of self-respect that you'd call yourself a gamer unironically.

>>8740123
ummm ok I never heard of this. why?
Am I not a gamer.. good god

>>8740136
I meant specifically for 1LC. Advance does have a lot of insta-kill platforming shit though so it's still pretty hard, but nowhere near completely the entire game hitless.

>>8739897
Super Contra is hot garbage compared to Metal Slug lmao. The environments look like puke, there is no interactivity or destructivity, the enemies have no hit reactions, the level layouts consist of just massive hordes of braindead trashmob enemies spawning out of thin in front of/behind/above you, the bosses are braindead simple and can be bursted in literally just a few seconds, and there is only one viable weapon in the entire game and the rest are trash that only serve to fuck you over if you accidentally grab one. Hell, even on the final boss, you literally just stand in one spot and he can't even do anything.

>>8737014
Demon Front

>>8740184
a lot of love went into making the game tho. I can just tell. I'd love to see what would happen if MS was more like Contra or if Contra was more like MS

Imagine if you will-if MS came out for SNES in 1995 ( fx chip amp up the game a lil bit)
- and then Contra 3 ( no longer 3 but 1) came out in 1996 for Neo Geo

>>8740210

>>8740212
They're just different styles of games and that's fine. I much prefer Metal Slug's control scheme where you can crouch and crawl or crouch and change directions. Metal Slug has a lot bigger focus on the cardinal directions (and occasionally using a diagonal sweep) and taking things at your own pace, whereas Contra just seems to throw enemies at you from every direction and try to overwhelm you. I feel like Contra would benefit a lot from independent control of movement/aiming (twin-stick) especially on the top-down stages. Obviously Metal Slug coming out in 1996 and in arcades gave it a massive advantage, but Contra Hard Corps Uprising though feels a lot like Metal Slug and also has a pretty nice aesthetic.

>>8735449
Can OP really call himself a faggot if he never sucked a dick?

>>8737114
You'll find them one day, anon. Just keep trying.

>>8737114
I wish I had a friend

I can 1cc Metal Slug 2 right now even though I haven't played it in years. Not the best of the series but probably the easiest

>>8742264
definitely the easiest. ms2, ms1, ms5 are the easiest (in that order)

These guys also made In The Hunt for IREM
I miss the insane pixelwork.
Oh and before that GEO STORM II check that out on mame you can already see where Metal Slug came from....

>>8735516
If you are going to 1CC a metal slug game then you need a lot of practice, being reactionary won’t cut it

>>8742359
in the hunt is one of the best shooter games ever made. underrated.

>>8735484
Yesterday I played metal slug 3 on xbone, it was just ok, same as arcade.Then I played metal slug xx, it was a bit better, also better UI and extras than 3.

>>8742364
>>8742359
Gun Force.... GUN FORCE. We aren't fucking Japanese and there is no advantage to the Japanese version so why the fuck are you using the Japanese name?

>>8742514
If you played a laggy, shitty console port of Metal Slug without shaders and (preferably) a CPU overclock to remove slowdown, then you didn't play the actual game.

Metal Slug XX is not a bad game, but there's literally no good way to play the game, as all versions have a combination of high input lag, audio stutter, poor frame pacing, or slowdown.

>>8742774
>so why the fuck are you using the Japanese name?
Because Gun Force is a painfully generic title? Granted, I don't think Geo Storm sounds all that cool either but at least it's distinctive.

>>8742785
>>8742514
Also CRT shader is important. These games look like ass with raw pixels. For some reason I can't get any CRT shader working on Metal Slug 6 because it always causes my character sprite to disappear (I've tried like 30 different CRT shaders and same result every time). Shame, because it would look way better like that especially with the contrast between the HD backgrounds and the pixelated sprites.

>>8742798
>>8742785
Please, help me, order from best to worst, this metal slug 3 versions:
-arcade
-PS2
-xbox360 on xbonn

Thanks. P.S. I didn't like metal slug 3 graphics on xbox.

>>8742909
Best: Arcade emulation with FB Neo or MAME
Don't bother: rest

The only other way I've heard that's acceptable is the ACA NEOGEO ports, but even then it's still much better to emulate arcade because it's lower lag, way more shaders, more options/rebindings, and you can set an emulated CPU overclock to completely remove slowdown

metal slug XX, has nice extras like "challenge" mode, (short missions), also achivemtn can only be obtained in single player.

>>8740140
I call myself a gamer to make you commufaggots rage

>>8739810
What? I don't see anything after the 3

>>8735449
actually i remember nearly being able to do so with 1. remembered the C'MON BOY! guy's pattern well to take him down no problem. i couldn't now i don't remember shit but I could probably get to him at least.

and I think i've gotten to the final boss on 1C but never 1CC'd Space Gun on mame.

then on actual hardware I could confidentially get to the final stage on 1C for Raiden Fighters 2, but I think i only 1CC'd it once.

>>8743626
3 is not even that good and I don't know why people put the original trilogy on such a pedestal. Metal Slug 4 is the best in the series aside from X.

>>8740448
lost

>>8743635
>pattern
Don't you literally just stand on top on one side and shoot down? I never really knew if there was a better strategy but that almost always works without getting hit.

>>8735630
>sor2
>I never could get past the baseball stadium elevator.
Same here! Thats the point in the game where i switch the console off. Due to the never ending flood of completely uninteresting opponents, ludicrous music and bland backgrouds.

>>8735484
>tfw no Metal Slug: XXX (triple X)

>>8735449
1CC is a bit steep, these old arcade games are full of traps and knowledge-checks. You'll go crazy trying to remember all of them.

>>8744008
>ludicrous music
I can take your bashing of the rest of the game but if you think the music in SOR2 is bad you need a hole in your head

>>8737014
learn to read jfc

>>8742264
I think when I tried my hand at 1cc'ing I did X because it was the shortest game to finish

>>8742264
>>8742284
Metal Slug 1 is definitely easier. The final boss in 2/X is quite brutal. In 1 you can bring your Slug to the final boss, and even if you couldn't, he's still probably easier.

>>8735449
You can call yourself a gamer if you play videogames regularly, dumbass.

>>8745412
You can call yourself anything you want. It doesn't make you that thing. You will never be a gamer.

>>8745381
You don't need the slug for the final boss in MS1, you can abuse the turret for invincibility frames.

>>8746529
There is no turret for the final boss in Metal Slug 1. Unless you mean the i-frames from jumping into and out of the Slug (which would require the Slug of course)

>>8745412
Back to /v/ you fake gamer.

>>8745412
Unless you blaze 24/7 or entered smash and cod tournaments you really have no right to call yourself a gamer. Yes, I am serious.

>>8740212
metal slug would be garbage on snes. even on genesis with it's better sprite system and higher cart speeds it would to be hugely downgraded

>>8746580
my bad, it's been a while since I played MS1 so I got it confused with the fakeout in MS3's last mission

Finally got my 1CC in Metal Slug today. Didn't even feel good was just disappointed it wasn't a no-miss.

>>8750073
where did you die?

>>8750107
Died once on the boss with the cage/flamethrower, while underneath him I got hit with a missile. It was really stupid, I just couldn't 't turn for some reason; Idk it just seems like the first Metal Slug feels a bit stiff sometimes.

The other death was to a random bullet on the second part of the bridge. Still need to practice that section more because I haven't found a consistent strategy yet.
