I know this was a while back but holy shit I’m so surprised that you managed to TAS this at the max loop difficulty!
I never seen everything want the vic viper dead so badly lmao!

[@SamCardCounter]

its beautiful how inhumanly brutal it can get if not inhibited by the SNES's limits. well TASed

[@LuckyBacon]

I realized a little while ago that using Laser is a cheap way of doing it, with its janky hitbox, example starting at 7:25.
I am considering redoing it without any laser powerup.

its like a tech demo of how the sa-1 implementation really ends slowdown

[@highwind9984]

Thanks for the video, its just so satisfying to watch, its just so hard to find gradius 3 in max difficulty without the lag in these days

[@IKONIKBeats]

This is awesome, many days to years playing this game! brings back so many memories Bacon. Great TAS on this. We need a Gradius 6 =/

There need to be a hack that slows enemies down to arcade speed but increases their fire rates

[@joelmolina8041]

WOAH

[@skalt711]

How did you jump straight to 16th loop?
