      Thanks for watching! Vanilla NG2 is much harder than Sigma 2, specially on MN! It took me ages to beat for the first time, too.

    This run was made on my cousin’s Switch while visiting him during the Easter weekend. Routed on Friday, trained on Saturday and recorded on Sunday.
    I was happy with the result, but there’s ample room for improvement.

      the fact that the master collection was ported well on switch genuinely surprises me i wouldve thought it wouldve had the xbox 360 fate of ng2 in the later chapters because of the switches hardware being less powerful to a ps4 or xbox one for instance

      Absolutely, I know what you mean. I never played Razor’s on my cousin’s Switch tho, maybe that game had issues I don’t know about.
      That being said, if Nintendo’s 2018 console couldn’t run game from 2007 and 2009 it would be fucking deplorable 🤣

    I hate that side-mission with Ayane, with more than a couple of enemies on the screen it actually feels like a stage from vanilla 2, but the Black Spider Ninja have a ton HP and are so stupidly resistant to dismemberment.

    Hey Grayson, I have a question: How would you rank the modern games (ninja gaiden 2004, black, sigma, ninja gaiden 2, etc.) from easiest to hardest to beat on the highest difficulty setting? I just discovered your channel and I'm impressed by your work!

    • @Grayson1048
      @Grayson1048  9 месяцев назад

      Hello William! I’m flattered by your comment and I hope you enjoy your stay on my channel :).
      The modern NG series, from easiest to hardes on highest difficulty… that’s a topic for a great video right there, but I would say:
      1. NG’04
      2. Sigma
      3. Black
      4. Dragon Sword
      5. Razor’s Edge
      6. Sigma 2
      7. Yaiba
      8. NG2
      9. NG3 Vanilla

    The two Tengu’s at the end of chapter 5… I’ve been stuck on that stupid ass boss fight for almost two days now. There’s no WAY it could that easy for you, I keep getting grabbed and insta-killed every damn time. Heck maybe it is as easy as you make it, but I’m about this close to just giving up on Master Ninja.
    By the way the 360 Lunar technique is THE move to rule them all and I’m glad someone else recognizes it! 😎

    • @Grayson1048
      @Grayson1048  Год назад +2

      Well, it wasn't that easy... they killed me twice. Very tough fight, but at least you don't have to do several fights again if you die, like with the first Tengu. That's the biggest run-breaker of the game.
      Keep at it!
      And yes, the Lunar's 360 UT's final hit instant kill property is super helpful, always has been :)

      @@Grayson1048 I finally fucking did it, Bro. Once I figured out the reason I kept dying, which was the stupid grab, I sort of played distance game, plus I showed a little more balls with the method you used. The double X. Can’t tell you how thankful I am for this video, all of the other ways and videos weren’t nearly as effective as yours; maybe now I actually have a chance to beat Master Ninja. Not looking forward to Zed the second time.

But yes, it's either double X or single Y. I just checked, the new WR uses single Y (I need to change the thumbnail of this video).

    I'm fairly new to the series, got into it properly two months ago and in that time I've 100%'d (all difficulties and achievements), both Sigma 1 and the original Ninja Gaiden 2. I'm working on Sigma 2 now, and though it's significantly easier IMO, that doesn't mean your run isn't incredible in its own right. Congrats on the world first, and hopefully I pick up on some tech while watching this that makes my own runs of Sigma 2 more enjoyable.
    Hell, the fact you're not only doing this on joycons, but getting a successful MN speedrun out of NGS2 when grabs are one-hit kills is impressive in of itself.

    • @Grayson1048
      @Grayson1048  2 года назад

      If you 100%’d both Sigma and NG2 in two months, you’re seriously gonna be a force to be reckoned with in a short while. Jeez, that’s amazing!
      I hope too that my video helps you in some way, that if you decide to join the NG community you have fun and feel welcome, and I thank you for the compliments regarding my run. While Sigma 2 is indeed easier than NG2, on MN it does require preparation and good routing. Not to mention, playing on joycons is indeed not ideal.
      I hope you enjoy the game. Stay safe!

      @@Grayson1048 Thank you so much for the appraisal, means a lot from such a great runner. NG1 was alot more painful than 2 for me, those Ninja Trials had me ready to give up playing the series outright until I had them down. It's creators like yourself, JTB, Farnham, etc. that have really helped me improve in this span of time. I love the community already during my brief stay, here's to a bright future for the NG community. I agree with you there, even knowing what enemies are ahead of you especially to avoid grabs is no doubt crucial on Sigma 2 MN. Thank you, you too man!

      @@crimsonskull9276 Well, the Master Collection is different from the other versions of Sigma 2 in some ways, but not the controls, and in that run I was playing in the MC as well. I know the move you mean; you're just tapping the joystick forward and pressing Y; for this move you need to hold the joystick forward, each time you do it (as opposed to leaving it in a forward position). So, it's Hold Forward Y, B, hold forward Y, B, hold forward Y, etc :)
