Metal Slug is fucking based. I just wish the games had a proper limited lives / continues system rather than only having either infinite continues or going for the 1cc cheevo which is a bit much.

you are fucking retarded. everyone from casuals to superplayers plays on emulation, and they all know that when going for a clear, you aren't using save states/rewind.

Metal Slug is massively improved with emulation anyways since the games play much better with emulated CPU overclock to remove the slowdown, and optionally autofire.

Man, you are one fucking idiot. Slowdown massively cuts frame rate and game speed, massively increases input lag, has jarring starts and stops, creates inconsistent game feel and timing, and literally eats inputs.

There is no defense for shitty slowdown, especially in cases where the game is not specifically balanced around slowdown (basically every game in existence except shitty CAVE shmups)

>Slowdown massively cuts frame rate and game speed, massively increases input lag, has jarring starts and stops, creates inconsistent game feel and timing, and literally eats inputs.
Nobody cares as long as everyone, including both arcade goers and emulator users, plays the same standard of the game. If an emulator lets you get a higher score than arcade version by the virtue of having less input lag then your score is not legit.

[Anonymous No.10257376]

>>10257368
Removing slowdown doesn't let you get a higher score you fucking smoothbrained retard. The lower input lag is due to not having the framerate drop like 5fps (and game speed along with it) whenever there is a lot of action on screen. Excessive slowdown just feels like utter shit.

If you want an experience that is as close to 1:1 as arcade you would play with slowdown, but if you actually care about the game itself, it is vastly superior (both in terms of enjoyment and responsiveness) without slowdown.

You don't even have any clears, so I don't know why I am even bothering to explain this to a retard shitter.

Slowdown massively cuts frame rate and game speed, massively increases input lag, has jarring starts and stops, creates inconsistent game feel and timing, and literally eats inputs.

There is no argument for slowdown besides "b-but that's how it is on PCB so therefore it must automatically be right!!"

Many superplayers these days are playing on ports or emulation that don't have accurate slowdown or have wait-off modes anyways (whether intentionally or unintentionally)

I don't even play with run-ahead, but it really doesn't make enough difference to even matter. 95% of the people using run-ahead are third worlders playing on 60Hz fixed-refresh-rate LCD monitors who are still getting more input lag than PCB on CRT. Even in lag-optimized cases, run-ahead reduces raw input lag at the cost of input lag consistency, so is really only useful for cases of games with like 5-6+ frames of input lag where the raw input lag reduction is enough to make up for the worse consistency (and even then it is marginal and arguable)

Autofire was well, WELL established in Japan by 1995 (hell, even by the late 80s it was very prevalent). And once it became the standard, it was used freely without limits in all games retroactively anyways. Autofire circuits on PCBs were extremely common in Japan (and devs were well aware, balancing their games around this), while the filthy gaijin mashed like spastics.

I'm literally the only person in these threads with clears ever. It's very strange how few people on this board can't even do a basic, bare minimum 1cc shitclear of these games they claim to love.

In the past, you had posters like Pasky, Vrocs, and Jun0 who used to post here. Sure they were still largely shitters, but at least they had some damn clears to their name, unlike precisely zero clears from every single poster in the arcade/Slug threads now. Nowadays, their only rebuttal is "b-but autofire!!" "b-but not original PCB!!" which have been settled for decades and only the most clueless of shitters are falling for that.

[Anonymous No.10257961]

>>10257945
It doesn't matter if these autofire circuits existed or not back in the 1980s. Because autofire was not installed equally in all Japanese cabinets. Not every cabinet had it. Many Japanese people played on cabinets without autofire. Unless you can prove that 100% of all Japanese Arcade cabinets had them installed, but you know I'm right.

[Anonymous No.10257969]

>>10257961
>durr well actually autofire is only legit if literally every single cabinet in all of Japan was using it!!
What kind of retarded argument is this? Do you even think before type? Autofire was the norm for serious players, superplayers, and was the norm for all recordkeeping in Japan (Gamest, Arcadia, JHA). I don't give a damn if some arcade largely used by children, casuals, or tourists didn't feature autofire circuits because the established standard was that autofire was allowed and the norm.

Instead of trying to come up with some pants on head retarded gotcha moment, please get a single fucking clear before you come back to these threads you dumb shitter.

No wonder arcades died if they attracted the same kind of autistic weirdos that these threads do.

Yes. We need to standardize on 120fps or higher.

I remember going to arcades. We had a small landromat arcade in my neighborhood growing up. It had 5 cabinets including metal slug. and always had a group of kids hanging out near them. That's how I met the neighborhood kids. No one cared about 1cc or any of that nonsense and I wish people here talking about 1cc would go away. It was never important and like you said I doubt they even went to arcades back then.

Whatever community you are apart of is extremely niche and tiny. I don't even think you even went to arcades since you hate cabinets so much. Stop ruining this thread. It's not for you.

Kids didn't even beat vast majority of their games. If all you did was credit feed in an arcade as a kid, then you have nothing to add to this thread and need to get the fuck out.

Agreed. This one anon is ruining metal slug threads. He hates arcade cabinets and hates western players. So I have no idea why he's in a general western thread.

1CC is the bare minimum for basic knowledge and proficiency of a game. If you haven't even earned at least the 1CC, you don't really have much to add to the discussion.

At least someone with other 1CCs understands the fundamental core design principles of arcade games, but no one in this thread has any clears of any kind, which is frankly embarrassing for a retro gaming board, and means that basically all the discussion is either extremely surface level or just bullshit fake interest.

Also AES is the objectively superior way to play X and 3 since it allows you to rebind the retarded useless Slug Attack (allowing you to jump and shoot at once without suiciding your Slug) and also optional Vulcan Fix.

Using autofire is not cheating, but whatever helps you cope.

The original arcade release of Metal Slug did not have autofire.

Please stop flooding this thread with autofire nonsense arguments.

This thread is about discussing the awesomeness of Metal Slug in general.

Autofire circuits were extremely prevalent all throughout Japan, autofire was adopted as the standard as early as the late 80s (and applied retroactively anyways), and additionally basically all ports and emulation have autofire.

Who cares if you used autofire or not? Just be honest about it and label your clears with "autofire used" or something like that and we're good.

Are there any more games trying to replicate MS's artstyle? The only one I know of is Aqua Ippan (https://6th-divisions-den.com/aqua_ippan.html))

No, that's not good enough for these clueless shitters. Anyone who has ever used autofire is a dirty cheater and your clear is automatically cheated bullshit unless you mashed the button like a spastic.

Of course in the real world, autofire has been the standard for well over three decades, but these retards don't have any clears anyways, and their only experience with these games is playing an hour on some shitty western standup cab with non-default settings and mashing fire.

It's like they don't realize that no one cares if you split scores/clears. Let the retarded mashing shitters compete amongst themselves for who can reach stage 2 vs. stage 3 in a credit.

True, I had forgotten. I particularly like the animation for the ice gun (seen here: https://youtu.be/A7-d5d9N6Lc?t=235))
Also it seems members of the original team are trying to make a new game called Black Finger JET now, but info is scarce.
Looks like these three games are the only ones then...

Well there is also In The Hunt and GunForce 2, but those are both from the eventual Slug team at IREM and predate Metal Slug.

Interesting. But they need more enemies attacking the player for it to be a metal slug. That footage looks way too casual and easy. There's hardly any soldiers shooting at the player. Metal slug always had a bunch of enemies coming from several angles. Not an unfair amount but enough to be a challenge if you didn't pay attention.
