Watching Arcus play Ninja Gaiden is akin to watching Eddie Van Halen or Mark Tremonti play guitar. The amounts of talent it takes to master each move by memory is something guitar players do while making it look easy. This guy is a legend and true master of his craft. Remember, memorizing these moves is only half the skill set. The lightning fast speed of his fingers separates him from mere mortals gamers.
@@stacychamness9077 Funny you say that. I had Randy Rhoades as another example on another comment on another one of Arcus's video. It would be a shame to leave Rhoades out of the equation.
There's just so many improvements that could be made to this run. You had a knock back, a couple of poor wall climbs, missed the pickle boost. I truly think you've got a WR in you if you just had some of those cleaned up. It amazes me how much the end bosses improve a time though.
@@busboifinn I don't think he is implying that he can beat Arcus' time. He's saying that Arcus' has time saves he didn't employ in his current PB that could make his PB time even lower.
It's unfathomable to me that Arcus isn't the current WR holder. I just found out. The world feels out of alignment. Great PB! Keep at it. This will always belong to you imo.
The WR is almost two whole seconds away, this isn't even close. That said, the couple blunders in 5-1 cost him a good second and a half at least. He does have what it take to get to 11:35.
My time zone (Hawaii) makes me miss a lot of Twitch streams so I’m glad Arcus posts here. Great job on one of my favorite games (such a fantastic soundtrack…).
I have watched Summoning Salt's Ninja Gaiden World Record Progression video more times than I can count. I finally saw this run appear in my feed, and wow! After all these years, Arcus is still at it! I'm every bit as enthralled, and it's amazing to see the record still going!
I discovered Arcus' stream in late 2018. I've been watching him ever since. Congrats on the PB. I don't think there's a kinder soul on the interwebs, lol. Keep on flippin and floppin and spinning and winning!!!!
Wow.... this is amazing. I've never been able to beat this game in ANY time frame. To see you run through and master this game and beat it from start to finish while I'm eating breakfast...... you are truly amazing.
One of my heroes. I started running this game myself after seeing a run you posted. I've watched your tutorials? Sinister1 and shuribear. I've seen others like retrorunner and xchristine. You are all soo awesome. Thank you soo much for inspiring me to run a game I never imagined could be played like this
This is the most dedication to beating something that I have *ever* seen. You've earned each and every fraction of a second off each and every run. True mastery.
This game gaved me so much trouble back when I played on the NES nd now watch breeze through it nd make it look so smooth brings me joy keep up the great Arcus!!
new fan here! I've been enjoying watching your videos maan! so many good and rage-filled memories haha, but it's such an odd pleasure watching you fly through these games! big huug and thanks for sharing!
In Ninja Gaiden I like it how as soon as you strike the lantern or whatever else gives you the item you get it right away. Helps with the fast pace. I like the acrobatics of Ninja Gaiden. It's a ninja game as a ninja game should be.
You a legend Arcus, our coyote you are an idol for my godson's father and me, my friend also completed it many times but not as fast, we tried tho 💪 thank you Arcus 👑
It took me at least 10 mins just to get the first damage boost in Castlevania and this guy is doing successful damage boosts left and right. Don't care anyone says, speedrunners are amazing
That gold on act 6 tho. And sum of best now under world record. I can see all the little places where you can optimise just a touch to get there. The world rekky is in your reach Arcus!
Nothing quite like watching an Arcus Ninja Gaiden run.
Yes! Something I always look forward to.
Always a good bzzt....
I'm here for his over-the-top expressions!

What about Randy Rhoades? Randy is also an legendary guitarist. 🎸👍🤘

@Oldie Wan I couldn't have said it better myself. Arcus is the NG player of all time.
@@OldieWan 😎👍
Great run Arcus! Now let's get that WR back! 💪🏻
I can't believe he lost it
Congratulations Arcus.
On to a WR next.
He'll be back on top soon enough. Swag Star... and CLUNK.
Glad to see the Gaiden. Without the 5-1 this may have pushed world record.
You have the WR ! One clean run away
Never thought I'd see someone take NG from Arcus. Nice to see you working to take it back. Eat that cottage cheese!
Im addicted to Arcus’ ninja gaiden runs.

Beat his run then lol
@@busboifinn Uhm, buddy, my words were encouragement that Arcus can improve his time.
@@busboifinn I don't think he is implying that he can beat Arcus' time. He's saying that Arcus' has time saves he didn't employ in his current PB that could make his PB time even lower.
Four years later, the man that started it all celebrates with a Kit Kat. Lol. Respect.
You can do it, Arcus! You deserve that WR! 😊😎
Easily one of the most respectable figures in video game media.
It's unfathomable to me that Arcus isn't the current WR holder. I just found out. The world feels out of alignment. Great PB! Keep at it. This will always belong to you imo.
Solid PB! If Arcus cleans up 5-1, he can regain the WR easily!
Wow that's really close to a WR, great run!
The WR is almost two whole seconds away, this isn't even close. That said, the couple blunders in 5-1 cost him a good second and a half at least. He does have what it take to get to 11:35.
Congrats Arcus! Nothing like a good bzzzzt and CLUNK!
Congratulations to Arcus one can't help but be a fan of his work and dedication.
Also shootout to Duhhsty for calling the bun right there
Amazing Run
Duhhsty calls the bun at least a few times a day, he was bound to guess right eventually 😂. GG
Congrats man on getting a PB in Ninja Gaiden! I am sure that you will take back the record someday and I wish you the best! Good job Arcus!
Incredible demon fight at the end Arcus. You have several time saves which will make the splits fun. Amazing job.
My time zone (Hawaii) makes me miss a lot of Twitch streams so I’m glad Arcus posts here. Great job on one of my favorite games (such a fantastic soundtrack…).
Arcus is the master at this game, I learned a lot from him
I have watched Summoning Salt's Ninja Gaiden World Record Progression video more times than I can count. I finally saw this run appear in my feed, and wow! After all these years, Arcus is still at it! I'm every bit as enthralled, and it's amazing to see the record still going!

incredible dedication. WR on the way for sure
Wow.... this is amazing. I've never been able to beat this game in ANY time frame. To see you run through and master this game and beat it from start to finish while I'm eating breakfast...... you are truly amazing.
I’ve been watching speed runs for decades at this point… and yet I’m still amazed what people can do with these games.
Congrats Arcus! Sorry I missed this one, you're amazing :)
WR soon! Great job arcus keep up the good work.
Congrats, been waiting for this a couple of months now

Let's go! Congrats on the PB Arcus!
Dude that was so clean at the end. Incredible. Congrats!
This is the most dedication to beating something that I have *ever* seen. You've earned each and every fraction of a second off each and every run. True mastery.
Seen how much you practiced. Nice work. Bravo. GG
Funny how you're speedrunning a crazy fast paced game and yet it's super relaxing to watch. Love how your runs are so chill.
Also, congrats on the PB, man.
This game gaved me so much trouble back when I played on the NES nd now watch breeze through it nd make it look so smooth brings me joy keep up the great Arcus!!
Oh man, here he comes
Gz on the PB glad to see u push past the 11:38 u and retro are gonna have a hell of a time beating that 11:35 getting really close to the limit
I beat this game once and you just destroyed this game. Awesome work man. Subscribed and liked.
This is pure art... 👏
Congrats Arcus! Well deserved!
new fan here! I've been enjoying watching your videos maan! so many good and rage-filled memories haha, but it's such an odd pleasure watching you fly through these games! big huug and thanks for sharing!
What an incredible run. I will never tire of seeing you run ninja gaiden
Thanks for being a beacon of positivity at a time when that isn't considered cool.
You rock with or without the record. Now go get the record. :)
Really cool seeing this live
With a clean 5-1 this is WR pace. Keep pushing and grinding, you got this!
Very good, dude. Hugs from Brazil. Big fan here
Damn that “and then we spin” “and then we slice” around 5:11 is cold blooded!
What an unlikely run to PB in 😄 amazing! Can't wait to see you back on top
That’s a crunchy peanut butter! Outstanding work as always.
What a beautiful run. This guy's an artist.

Congratulations Arcus! 😊
Amazing run.
This game was hard AF. Used to give me anxiety nightmares 🤣
Congrats on that PB. Excellent Run!
I want the WR back where it belongs!!! Go Arcus
Love it, let's go Arcus!
Arcus on a Tuesday? Just what I needed after a long workday.
He'll have the record again soon!
My favorite speedrun
glad to have yoiu back in ninja gaiden arcusssss!
Great run! What a good boy, Arcus! 👍🏼😁
Chop that WR down, @Arcus !!!
Muy bien hecho, sigue así. Saludos
Of all the baddies you face those BIRDS are the most evil of all!
Great run
Arcus, that WR has your name written on it. Let’s get that biatch back where it needs to be!!! 💪🏻
You a legend Arcus, our coyote you are an idol for my godson's father and me, my friend also completed it many times but not as fast, we tried tho 💪 thank you Arcus 👑
MC Arcus, bustin' rhymes and killin' times.
Great run Arcus!!
Bring the WR home Arcus!!!
GG. Looking forward to seeing that WR broken. Good luck!
When you want to play the game but don't have much time, just have Arcus do it
5-1 and the pickle boost and it's WR.
Keep grinding!
Great job arcus!
Congrats Cowboy!
It took me at least 10 mins just to get the first damage boost in Castlevania and this guy is doing successful damage boosts left and right. Don't care anyone says, speedrunners are amazing
Congrats ! So jealous. I never beat this game when I was young
Great run👍
can’t wait to see WR
The ost is so good.
That gold on act 6 tho. And sum of best now under world record.
I can see all the little places where you can optimise just a touch to get there. The world rekky is in your reach Arcus!
Congratulations!!
Congrats on the new PB
My god, over 61,000 attempts now. I don't think I've done anything in my life 61,000 times including blinking. Talk about dedication and perseverance.
GG! Watched it live! 2:24 I was going Haaaaam! I even renewed my sub in 9:19 :D
The end. Thank you for playing, and see you next WORLD RECORD. Tecmo.
Oh boys, the legend is here. How many hours you take to playing like this and memorize every single move? Just impressive!
Congrats!
Even with the little hiccup in 5-1 that was a great run!
Sweet !
Reset. Mash mash mash 😂
Also: Thought that bird on the right glitched out before realizing it was part of the background animation thingy 🤣
The Bob Ross of speedrunning
YAYYYY 😃
You said “Reset…smash…mash klunk” but didn’t say “aaannddd” still good enough 😊
This man is a god and all 16-32bit games should be scared
Wasn't expecting a sub notice from Rake Yohn's brother 8:25
You are a legend bro ❤️
Summoning Salt part II coming soon.
That was a good BZZZZ!!! Who-wah! And... CLUNK! That was a good clunk.
