Obsoleted: Being that this is my first Sub for SDA (im turning in both runs at the same time), I need to thank ALL of SDA. Not just staff, but every single one of you. Cheers to you all.

Second, a HUGE thanks to Stanski!!!!! He sent me a working controller and was what made this run able to be finnished. Along with every NES game I use it for. Expect more thanks Stanski from me.

Stage 1
Overall went well. I was unlucky and had the 2 guys stack on top of one another and had to shoot them both down. Boss was a lil slower than usual, I considered a reset here.

Stage 2
Perfect as far as I can tell. That small shimmy backwards before teh gun turrets was to make sure I did not have to stop got crossing bullets like in Frezzys run. Only real improvement on this stage. Boss kill was perfect.

Stage 3
I dont know why, but I have a thing for killing EVERYTHING in this stage. I missed 1 turret but I miss that one from time to time. No lag after the water, I was lucky there. Mini boss was a tad slow, but a great kill none the less. Boss kill was perfect.

Stage 4
OMG I HATE THE BUBBLES. They cause more resets than anything. I improved the falling bomb areas and boss kill slightly. Boss kill was slightly slow. But still a great kill.

Stage 5
Ugh... This is the most stressfull stage. So technical... Slightly slow boss kill again... But still a keeper.

Stage 6
OMG that last mouth scaired the shit out of me... My hart was racing after that... Boss kill went great. Im unsure if it can be faster than me or Frezzy.

Stage 7
Bad luck at the first part, but I salvaged it well I think. Boss kill was slow, I did not get into the proper spot at all durring the fight. Could have killed before the mouth closed for the second time. The shame...

Stage 8
I LOVE THIS MUSIC. I really do not know why, but i do, went perfect except for the 1 missed jump. Boss kill was a lil slow, I could not get the speed going till it was almost dead. Not to big of a deal though.

Overall I belive that a 13:17 or even a 13:16 is doable. With perfect luck of couse. And to this I leave it to your hands and skill to help make the perfect run. I will be working on this again some day, but I really need a break from this game...

Thanks to every one who supported me through the process making this run and to the peoples who keep SDA up and running.

I want to dedicate this run to my father who passed away Oct. 10th of 2010. He always said I could achieve anything I wanted, so long as I put forth the effort. He taught me many things. Things I want to do, and not want to do. Regardless, I love him and I miss him. Rest in peace.

Hello again guys. This is my little improvement my previous run. I say it is about 13-14 seconds faster than my previous run in SDA. This automatically mean my run is about 10 seconds faster than Jim hanson US-versio run (using 5/6 time rules). But i can,t compared it Jim run anymore, because both runs are awesome runs and US versio are maybe harder run, because it is faster. PAL-versio are maybe more frustrating because it is longer. But thats it both runs is awesome.

I completed this run couple days later when my 16.58 coming up into site. This run took while to send, because my torrent got some troubles and i spend at least 2 weeks trying send that vid to Nate. I need as well hurry, because some days later my run frezyman beat current US-run by multiple seconds. We can,t compared my or Jim run with frezy run, because frezy run might be insane.

But anyway i just not find much difference between my previous run. Only expect: This run is cleaner overall.

• LEVEL 1:
  +Faster cannon kill
  +Faster boss fight
  -I not going under grenades like last time. Somereason i timed my jumps wrong and this seems impossible with this time. This cost me less than second i think.

• LEVEL 2:
  -I was really disappoint with this level. Especially after when i find really good way run this level and i always make it done better than here.
  -Ugly first tank. This was one "maybe" my biggest mistake my hold run
  +Good 2nd & 3rd tank.

• LEVEL 3
  +was surprise verifers said this level run was alot better than last time. This seems i got about 4-5 seconds lead here my previous run.
  +Good miniboss & boss fight
  -Some shy stops cost me little bit.

• LEVEL 4:
  +Overall better.
  +Better boss fight i think
  -Some minor flaws.

• LEVEL 5
  +Cleaner than last time
  -I still can save some hundreds my time if i can got more crazy risk and timed my jumps better.

• LEVEL 6
  +Cleaner walking
  -Boss 1st form is not my best

• LEVEL 7
  This level take me most failed attempts and it ruin many my very good runs. I hate that level so much. Overall i was really happy with this. I can,t remember how many times spider pods ruin my run or i got too much risk with starting and die.
  +First part was well done
  +Green stones was great
  +Boss was my best ever (killed before 4th balls)
  +Spider pods was good. Expect:
  -No extra spider pod kill

• LEVEL 8
  +Overall good
  -Bad enemy locations before difficult jump. I lost couple seconds.

I'll still might try improve my run in future. I still trying beat that run several times but i lost motivation trying it anymore since i ruin several good attempts in level 7. This is not fun die here especially if you are succesfully maded very good job otherwise game. But thats happen and this make Contra series games really frustrating speedrun. One hit and game is over. But i hope i can got motivation back and try improve that more and more.

I just wanted say i have very much potential go through game in 16.40 & under. Maybe my personal max human limit might be somewhere 16.30-16.35 range. And i try set my next goal with this. I not want compared my skills with frezyman skills. If he have PAL versio he can reach sub 16.30 easily. But i personally not see my goal under it. At least i need spend several years practice with this.

Anyway. I want thanks
-Super-C current WR holders (Jim Hanson & Ray Cullen)
-SDA team (Mike, Nate, Enhasa)
-Verifes & Peoples in SDA forum who give me tips and comments
-TheZeth his awesome Super-C in 13.50 run on youtube.

Thats it. It was best reason ever accept my run "it looks almost TAS"

Cheers:
