Really proud of this one! Took quite the few attempts, tried to use every move I could with the BotA (my favorite weapon). Enjoy Ninja Gaiden 2 is fantastic. Missed quite a few parries and did a few accidental UTs due to the lag, but that's on me.

Thanks guys, appreciate the love ^^ I agree Itagaki was way ahead of the curve, also with his other games (Dead or Alive 2 was amazing).

Should work now, it didn't url the whole thing (it forgot the final L). Thanks for pointing it out!

This year saw Ninja Gaiden II turn 10 years old already, and to celebrate it is getting its own essay on Stinger Magazine! The article mostly covers its development, the designphilosphy behind it, the change from NG1's more defensive structure to NG2's offensive one and the eventual downfall of Team...

Firewheels mostly worked in 04 I think, since Black's enemy spawns can mess it up more easily. Basically, you knock her down using any method, activate flamewheels, XYXXX, XYXXX, XY. Then you activate firewheels again as I recall. You can keep her juggled from 100 until death this way, at least in 0...

This for your speedrun-strats? I sometimes get my versions mixed up, but isn't the Flame Wheels juggle still the prime way of doing things? Not sure about the inferno loop sorry. Sure some others here might know, I'd be interested in knowing too!

I laughed really loud at that last one! Great stuff! I wonder if you can actually die there, I've had the cutscene there save my life numerous times.

Ha! As I note, this is just a collection of fun moments. When I was editing my run I saw some deaths and 'typical NGII' moments and it just made me smile. And sure, add away!

https://youtu.be/AMMmjj-0KMQ Been working on my single-weapon (minimal UT, item, ninpo, overpowered attack spam) for each weapon, started making a compilation of the 'typical NG2' stuff. Enjoy, I think we can all relate to these moments haha! Note that I'm a lot better than on display in this video,...

Hey Falcon! Good to see you here too! :) Keep up the good work!

Wow, I never would've thought haha! I always just assumed it stood for Joe The Button haha, never even considered Button was his last name. Sorry JTB! If this was Vimeo it was an easy fix, but sadly Youtube doesn't allow video-replacements.. Glad you liked it and also the IW part, I put your full st...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLdAmxjWgRE Well guys, it is here. This took nearly 2-3 months of on and off working to complete, but I'm really proud of it! I'm not going to put it live just yet, but want to give some sites early viewings of it, like you guys! If you want, please leave a comment an...

Amazing job Julius! Question, why are most KR's in NG3RE done on Hard, any reason in particular?

Update, video is going good. If anyone knows any good Sigma or Sigma Plus players I can contact, let me know. I'll try to hit them up : )

The glitch involves forcing the >YYY attack. Apparently the weapon has the move, but you have to use an inputglitch to make it happen from what I've gathered. He made a video about it in Japanese a while back. Now I'm not sure how he made it work with the Nunchucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrJuYm3h6X0 Pretty cool to see him back and enjoying things, he's already uploaded a couple of neat videos. Especially cool to see him having (seemingly) mastered the usage of >YYY with the Nunchucks using the input glitch. I can barely get it to work a single time, y...

Oh dear.

Update: video is going well, I am running in one small issue: Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus footage. It is very hard to find. Does anyone here have any?

"I have a few vids of playing with IW, Weibull, and Psaren"

This sounds wonderful! If you could we-transfer those to me or via some other way I'd love that. Otherwise the pictures are also good. I'll PM you my email.

Few updates: - recorded the full voice-over, busy processing the audio now and removing errors, breathing etc. - setup for the first chapter is complete, I hope to have a full video-list done by the end of next week so I can ask everyone for the footage that I need. Now one special note is that the ...

Good to know. God I love this game.

Followup question, if I kill a foe using an UT but do a follow-up OT (because he lost a head for instance), do I get OT or UT essence?

I honestly prefer the 'old rugged 180p recorded with a camera' look. Ninja Gaiden is a classic. It should be shown a bit in that light as well I feel. Gives it that mysterious 'found footage of this insane master ninja' feeling :P

This sounds like a great idea, I've linked my channel below. If you want to take anything let me know and I can send you the original video which would be much higher quality than ripping it from youtube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDF4f5kUce2MyM9bg8JaJXg?view_as=subscriber Cheer JTB! Amazed ...

Hey all! So a year ago I wrote a pretty sizable article on the development, combat and personal tale of Itagaki and the Ninja Gaiden community at large. With the 30th anniversary of Ninja Gaiden coming up in October this year, I wanted to turn it into a non-profit video to give the series the love i...
