I just wanted to say that over Thanksgiving I grabbed Ninja Gaiden and a few other NES games from my Dad's house when I came home to visit for the holiday. I hadn't played in a long time but have been itching to play the old NES games again (I have a Retron at my place that does NES and SNES games). Anyway, I fired it up the other day and got a 0 damage run to level 2.2 (without the spin attack as I accidentally traded it for something else). That's a big deal for me! Of course once I got that first hit it was game on, followed by too many continues to count. I just wanted to say I guess I absorbed some things and you inspired me. Thank you.

This is very, very impressive, to say the least. I had no idea that the demon's head could even be killed. Awesome run, and great commentary throughout

This is by far the most impressive run in recent history. Concidering it had been universally accepted that the last dmg was completely unavoidable, you literally did the impossible! Even when it was found that you could actually kill the head with "monster mash", nobody could and nobody did. Until you! This video has to get viral! It deserves it! Very very impressive! Also, your personality is great for streaming. Polite, energetic, patient, very articulate, a bit gruffy (in a good way). You are going places :)

I was looking for Ninja Gaiden speedruns and came across this video, it's insane how after so many years you finally did the impossible! Congratulations!

I love the speedruns of this game but this is by far my fav run of this game. I can't imagine telling my young self 30 years ago that someone would do this damageless. Thanks Slack. Also I just realized I have not commented on this video until now so here we are :)

didn't know about this absolute legend til a few minutes ago. Well done!

Never in a million years would I think this was achievable! You are incredible!

This is amazing! I remember how hard this game was as a kid. No damage at all is truly a feat.

IGN Brazil wrote about your achievement. I didn't know about it even thought I played Ninja Gaiden a lot and already saw some speedruns. I watched Karl Jobst talking about this and I couldn't resist seeing the whole thing. Man, this is amazing!
