Awesome Arcus, the best was watching how happy you were about this great achievement, it's not often we get to see you lose your cool like that. Well deserved, relish in your accomplishment you worked hard for it.
A game a played all my childhood. The whole time I was rooting you on!!@@@ you are a hero. A legend among us normal people. I said it once, say it again you are a legend!
Finally! Last time I was on this channel you only had like 2.5K subs. 69K and rising is more like it. I knew you would get the glory that is yours for the taking Arcus. You are a legend within the gaming sphere!
You guys who watch the super long twitch streams, I have a question for you. How? It doesn't get boring watching him die over and over? I mean I love the RUclips version, the condensed version, that gets right to the point. But watching these same levels for hours straight... oof
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 Arcus has a great chat community. People talk to each other help each other out, and just act like good people to each other there. It's a lot of fun. Try it out, and see what you think.
Your dedication to your craft is simply astonishing. As a child that loved these games. Knowing how hard it was. Watching you do this i just cant believe it plus youre so humble about it.
I'm proud of Arcus' accomplishment, but at the same time I really want him to keep going so that he can get the world record (he's so close!). Arcus is such an amazing speedrunner and I truly believe he has what it takes to get the world record in this game. At any rate, congratulations Arcus and also I wish you the very best with your future speedruns!
You're my favorite speed runner. I love how chill you are. And how you hum along and make your own lyrics as you go makes it feel calm and soothing. haha.
lots of congratulations from the whole community that follows you from Italy you are the best👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹it was a pleasure to follow you on this journey👋👋👋
Love seeing you so happy! Your the best!!!! It feels like when I was a kid sitting with my brother playing and me watching contently the entire time. Thanks for the nostalgia
Wow such a big accomplishment man. Your oldest video on your channel is you speedrunning this game, years and years ago. I can only imagine all the work needed to get that time. Huge congrats ... Must have felt weird when you finally got it.
I've been keeping an eye on this, seeing you inch your way to this. I'm happy for you man. Congratulations. Love to his Twich followers, too. We see this distilled on RUclips, but you're all supporting him in the grind.
I realize speed runs are a niche product, but Arcus is one of the most likable personalities on any social media outlet. That subscriber number saddens me when I see the numbers on so many untalented hacks (at least RUclips is not his primary source for income on these, but still, gotta love this guy).
Every time I remember an old game there are 2 things I can always count on. James and Mike Mondays has played it and Arcus has beaten it faster than I ever thought possible.
Oh my God that was a siiiiick run! That was seriously God-like. I've watched alot of your runs and this one is definitely one of the most impressive ones. All of your stuff is great, but this one....I'm out of words. Phenomenal!
always felt these games were secretly built for running and stabbing as fast as possible. amazing stuff thanks for the little hints and tricks you taught us!
I’m thrown off by how much I care how fast someone from Arizona can beat Ninja Gaiden 2.
🐄
I feel like I've been dreaming... for a long time.
This cowboy just might be the best ninja of all time
Those rare moments when you see emotion out of Arcus are quite special indeed
Like when he got his NG1 wr was similar
Rare? I see him laugh nearly daily with some of my chat comments :)
@@mycatisromeo ok
“What is this? What is this? What is this? My hands are getting numb. Just….Just……Just…….”
You are an absolute legend Arcus. What a Journey. Congrats.
the journey was fantastic
Dr Sceeeaphism?
10:35 When Arcus is so in sync with Ninja Gaiden the game is giving him subtitles.
This is Jorf's favorite run.
It makes me happy to see Arcus so damn happy :)
You did it because of that perfect MEATBALL BOOST! What a great achievement, Arcus. Congrats!
The Sheer joy on his face after getting sub ten was worth the watch.
So happy for you, Arcus! This deserves a Mountain Dew and a churro.
I've watched a lot of these NG 2 runs because I love the music for background and your calm demeanor. Congrats on the sub 10 run!
Edging closer and closer to that WR. Come on Arcus, you can do it!
I find myself randomly saying “aaaaaand clunk” all the time for years….”where’s my churro” is now a normal part of my repertoire too
Been saying "Hooo-aaaa made it through-aaaa!" for months now
Doo be doo, yes we do!
Huge congrats my dude. Been following all your runs, so much hype. You’re going to get world record for sure.
Congratulations Arcus! You’ve worked really hard on this grind and you deserve the sub-10.
Watching the twitch stream as this was happening LIVE was an absolute thrill! Well done again, Arcus! Cheers!
Congrats on holding the 2nd best Speedrun world record! Definitely well deserved and something to be proud of. GG!
Awesome Arcus, the best was watching how happy you were about this great achievement, it's not often we get to see you lose your cool like that. Well deserved, relish in your accomplishment you worked hard for it.
Love it. You can tell it was on when Arcus went completely silent. So happy for you, it was a tough grind indeed. Cheers.
If that isn’t one of the most wholesome things, idk what is. Absolute legend, this guy. Congrats!
🎶🎵Mountain Dew and a churro🎵🎶
Congrats, Arcus. I only watch via RUclips, but you're one of my favorite runners.
A game a played all my childhood. The whole time I was rooting you on!!@@@ you are a hero. A legend among us normal people. I said it once, say it again you are a legend!
Congrats! What took me almost a year as a kid, you got done in under 10 minutes! Good game and congratulations!
Finally! Last time I was on this channel you only had like 2.5K subs. 69K and rising is more like it. I knew you would get the glory that is yours for the taking Arcus. You are a legend within the gaming sphere!
Im so glad that I watched this run live on TW... what a great speedrunner, streamer and person Arcus is! Greetings from Argentina
Watched it live too, was great being there

Love how the run in it's entirety is almost as long as the ending credits. Grats Arcus!
Love how excited Arcus got. Love this dude.
You're my favorite speed runner. I love how chill you are. And how you hum along and make your own lyrics as you go makes it feel calm and soothing. haha.
lots of congratulations from the whole community that follows you from Italy you are the best👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹it was a pleasure to follow you on this journey👋👋👋
Congratulations!! I’ve been checking in over the past few months to see your prog on this game. I’m so happy for you! 😊😊😊
I've never seen Arc act like that as he did at the end of the run. It was heart warming
Congrats Arcus!!! Can feel the excitement!
Your voice is simultaneously weird and yet very pleasant and soothing. I really enjoyed watching you work and listening to your commentary.
Watching Arcus score a PB is like watching a prime Michael Phelps hit the water.
27,600 attempts! That level of dedication is inspiring!
I've been following this grind throughout most of the year. What a journey! Your patience and determination is truly inspiring, Arcus.
That one knockback was potentially enough to miss out on a 9:58.
Still amazing run of an amazing game. Well done.
Legendary man!
There's no system like the NES. The games where so cool and immersive
Love the Ninja Gaiden series.
Holy crap sub 10. Many congratulations. 🍾🎉🎊🎈
Congrats Arcus - legend with NG, so fun to watch!
Chasing that world record I see. Good stuff.
What a wild ride! Great job, Arcus. You fought with inspiration.
Love seeing you so happy! Your the best!!!! It feels like when I was a kid sitting with my brother playing and me watching contently the entire time. Thanks for the nostalgia
So awesome bro! Congrats on that achievement 👏. Been loving the journey 🤜🤛
This is pretty incredible. I remember playing this game for the first time at the Nintendo World Championships, 1990. I sucked then and I suck now.
Wow such a big accomplishment man. Your oldest video on your channel is you speedrunning this game, years and years ago. I can only imagine all the work needed to get that time. Huge congrats ... Must have felt weird when you finally got it.
The best part of this is how happy you are.
Amazing run Arcus!!! Way to get that sub-10!!!!!!!!!
Still not the WR though. Lol
You've got a great radio voice. It's funny how relaxed you are through the first half of the run
Arcus is the kind of guy to take blast damage from a land mine just to have enough invisibility to sprint to the end of the DMZ.
I've been keeping an eye on this, seeing you inch your way to this. I'm happy for you man. Congratulations. Love to his Twich followers, too. We see this distilled on RUclips, but you're all supporting him in the grind.
What's crazy is he was inching, inching, inching...then skipped like 3+ seconds all at once suddenly
I had "do be do yes we do" stuck in my head for a few weeks. I finally forgot about it, then this happens. I'm back fellas
Incredibly GG Arcus!! Been watching your runs for a few months go from 10:07 to 10:04 to 9:59!!! Go pet Jojo, what a good boy Arcus!
PB AC let's roll ! Fantastic job Arcus -Black Ocean
Without the 1 knock back, would've been a 958. You got this!
after watching you grind on twitch for months. was super happy u finally did it on stream. congrats
I am proud of Arcus. Thanks for the streams.
Congratulations, Arcus!
GG’s Arcus! Congratulations on this amazing achievement.
Arcus you're almost there!!!! Wish you the best with the WR chase!!
Never get tired of your Ninja gameplays!!! You're a NES Hero!
Can we take a minute and acknowledge this man has attempted this 27,000 times??? Dedication.
My god it just blows my mind seeing someone breeze so effortlessly through a game that caused me so much pain, suffering and rage
Congrats! That castle sure does take a long time to collapse.
I realize speed runs are a niche product, but Arcus is one of the most likable personalities on any social media outlet. That subscriber number saddens me when I see the numbers on so many untalented hacks (at least RUclips is not his primary source for income on these, but still, gotta love this guy).
Was awesome to catch it live and a treat of a rewatch! My favorite Arcus PB and one of my favorite speedruns ever. GG!
There was Eddie Van Halen and his guitar and now there's Arcus and his NES controller.
"Meatball Boost" made me do a spit take. "Where's my Churro?" also got a randomness chuckle.
Every time I remember an old game there are 2 things I can always count on. James and Mike Mondays has played it and Arcus has beaten it faster than I ever thought possible.
WOAH! Congratulations, Arcus!! :D
The grind! So happy for you Arcus!
To see this guy beat a game that caused me so much agony in my child hood in under 10 minutes is bittersweet.
Amazing accomplishment! So glad to have watched this live :)
Never realized til now how the fallen towers/spires of Ch 10 in NG2 were inspired from 6-1 of this game.
“I’m getting nervous”
Me: Oh dear bob it’s all about to come crumbling down eh? 😂
What a good run, Arcus.
Oh my God that was a siiiiick run! That was seriously God-like. I've watched alot of your runs and this one is definitely one of the most impressive ones. All of your stuff is great, but this one....I'm out of words. Phenomenal!
Arcus was smacking those buttons extra hard from 7-2 on haha. Didn't want to leave anything to chance ;)
Congrats man. I watched you several times during the grind and I'm sad I missed the sub 10 run. GG!
His excitement is so contagious. I find myself using his idioms when I play now. "Jumpin and a boomin"
Nice going dude! It's been a wild ride.
Than you so much for sharing this. So happy to see the sub 10! congrats Arcus!
Oh. It's all coming together.
Congrats Arcus.
Wow I love Arcus so relaxing
always felt these games were secretly built for running and stabbing as fast as possible. amazing stuff thanks for the little hints and tricks you taught us!
Big Big congrats Arcus !! Well deserved ! Awesome run ! (Bednak)
Your button smashing sounds like a crackling fire!🔥
Great job!
Congrats Arcus!
Summoning Salt told me about this run. I am not disappointed
Congratulations on meeting your goal!
Thank you for sharing! Such a great run.
3-1 is one of the most impressive things I ever done saw
“Just. Just! JUSSSTT!” Amazing! Congratulations!
This and XBox Ninja Garden: Black, are my fav from Tecmo/Team Ninja games.
Amazing, you’re the man Arcus!
Yo congrats! Glad you got the sub 10!!
I heard the hardest Nintendo controller snaps from the end of that run.
