Contra (NES) Deathless run? 

Talk about OG!

I would really like to see an "NES Legend of Zelda" (on just 3 lives) finish video. My older brother and I did this in under 3 hours back in 1991, and we were imortal!

How many hours did it take to learn the perfect placement fof the character for boss kills? PC or NES play?

Sorry bud but not a deathless run. Reason why it doesn't count as deathless is because when you died at 18:55 you still would have had control over bill until 18:58 when the victory sound plays after beating a boss. When Speedrunners of Contra beat a level they press the up button on their controller so bills weapon is pointing up and when they lose control over bill when the victory sound plays then bill will point his weapon to the right, Speedrunners do this so they can accurately input splits for each level and you died before a split would have been inputted. Your gameplay + tips: Jungle was fine, Base 1&2 you don't have to take out all the guns for certain rooms because your making yourself more vulnerable by moving around more than you need to, for example the last room of the base levels you only need to destroy the gun on the right then position yourself slightly left of the core and the other two guns can't touch you, Waterfall you can reveal the gun above you before crossing the bridge then shoot the B so it's positioned next to that gun that way you'll have more invincibility time to move up the Waterfall and also you were wasting invincibility time shooting enemies that didn't need to be destroyed so you should have just focused on moving up quickly, In Snowfield you should never stop shooting because of the amount of trolls that appear on screen and you can destroy the tanks easier if you stand right next to them and mash, for Energy Zone you can jump over the vertical firebar where the B is without dying and you can avoid the boss projectiles if you duck right in front of the boss, In Hanger for the boss you should just run, right jump twice and mash your way up to the boss core and ignore the guns below you and Alien's lair is the same thing just run up to the boss jump twice whilst mashing and it will go down easy. In general I think you were not mashing fast enough and playing a little too conservatively at times which made things harder than it should be but you are good enough to beat the game deathless in your next run. Hope that helps and Good luck
