Metal slugs tactics9/25/2023 Even though the path I take in stage 5 is forced scrolling, Shot, making the boss fight at least twice as long. Taking the alternate path in stage 3 not only takes longer, you don't get a flame Yes, the alternate path in the first stage gives you a crappier weapon for fighting the boss. Q: Are you sure you took the right paths? Q: You seem to take time to collect weapons and/or grenades a lot, are you sure it's worth it?Ī: Yes, I'm almost positive I have made good choices on all the weapon and grenade pickups. Invincibility from a combo item to my advantage. Pick up a combo item you're invincible for about a second, but I don't think I ever used the Invincible for about 2 seconds, I exploit this constantly in the final stage. There are two things that make you invincible in this game. Q: There are some places where a bullet passed through you, why didn't you die? Tank three soldiers would fire a set of weapons that is nearly impossible to dodge (rolling Stage 5 when I first get outside: If I moved forwards while firing my super grenade at the On the top, five extra zombies would have spawned on the right side of me. Stage 4 at the beginning of the top path: If I moved forward before killing the fat zombie Stage 4 after the first two helicopters: You can't move on until you kill all the vehicles,Īnd if you spawn the tank and the second set of helicopters together it simply becomes too Q: There are some areas where you don't move forward even though you can, why?Ī: There are only three areas I can recall where I do this, two in stage 4, one in stage 5. The tankĬannon takes care of the enemies faster than a heavy machine gun could. Stage 6 Tank: The tank makes me safe from the crapload of enemies and bullets. Also,Ĭrashing the crawler takes care of that big row of zombies before the third area. Move on, and vulcan is more powerful than heavy machine gun (the only other choice). Stage 4 Crawler: There are a lot of areas where you are forced to kill enemies before you can Stage 2 Tank: Allows me to go through the soldier infested area with ease. Missiles pretty much tear through everything in a few seconds. Get to the destructible wall, and the extra grenades would be wasted on destroying the Stage 2 Missile Launcher: If you go on foot the rocket launcher wears out before you can even Q: Why do you get inside so many vehicles? Aren't they slower?Ī: Yes, vehicles move more slowly than your character moves on-foot, but usually you have lessįirepower on-foot then you do in a vehicle, and there are a lot of areas where you are forced If you killed a boss faster in a lower difficulty than Iĭid, that doesn't necessarily mean your method is faster than mine in hard mode. The patterns of the final boss are almost completely different due to either faster patterns, Q: What are the differences between easy and hard?Ī: Hard mode has faster bullets, more bullets/enemies, and enemies take MUCH longer to kill. Vulcan fix (yes, I know it might save time against the stage 2 boss). Q: When you lost all your ammo from a weapon how did you fire instantaneously?Ī: Crouching cancels the recovery of switching back to the pistol.Ī: The arcade version of Metal Slug 4 doesn't have vulcan fix, and being a purist I don't use Q: Why are you crouching while firing throughout the game?Ī: Firing while crouching allows you to fire faster than simply standing and shooting. A Playstation 2 + VCR was used to record the run, thanks go to Nate for capturing. Played at Hardest difficulty setting (hard) Single-segment (would you expect anything else from me?) Enjoy (not).īest time, hard mode: 0:23:18 by Mike Uyama. But you'll see more of my MS skillness soon. I hope you won't like this run as much as I don't. I kept the /C/ all the way to the next section which saved some time. Regardless of the bad luck at every possible section, I had some good luck at the end of the first section in mission 6. So after all, luck is a high percent factor for how fast you can complete a MS game. That's why I've kept it safe and stood on my platform. I died like six times in a row at the fight with morden's human form using Mike's strategy. As you can clearly see, nerves took over me at some places. Bad luck (+ I never practiced the second section with a /C/. I'm not sure if my where-to-throw-bombs choices are the right ones, but I at least try to make it look good (another failed attempt). If you want to know about all the small time savers, read Mike's comments for his hard difficulty run. Especially Mike because if not for him, there wouldn't be anyone to annoy with crappy MS runs. Btw, thanks radix, nate, djgrenola, and mikwuyma. Did you really think that Mike is the only one that can play Metal Slug games? You were right! This here, is a poor attempt of trying to run a arcade game by me.
