I’m thrown off by how much I care how fast someone from Arizona can beat Ninja Gaiden 2.

I feel like I've been dreaming... for a long time.

Those rare moments when you see emotion out of Arcus are quite special indeed

This cowboy just might be the best ninja of all time

“What is this? What is this? What is this? My hands are getting numb. Just….Just……Just…….” You are an absolute legend Arcus. What a Journey. Congrats.

It makes me happy to see Arcus so damn happy :)

This is Jorf's favorite run.

You did it because of that perfect MEATBALL BOOST! What a great achievement, Arcus. Congrats!

The Sheer joy on his face after getting sub ten was worth the watch.

So happy for you, Arcus! This deserves a Mountain Dew and a churro.

I've watched a lot of these NG 2 runs because I love the music for background and your calm demeanor. Congrats on the sub 10 run!

Edging closer and closer to that WR. Come on Arcus, you can do it!

🎶🎵Mountain Dew and a churro🎵🎶

10:35 When Arcus is so in sync with Ninja Gaiden the game is giving him subtitles.

Im so glad that I watched this run live on TW... what a great speedrunner, streamer and person Arcus is! Greetings from Argentina

You guys who watch the super long twitch streams, I have a question for you. How? It doesn't get boring watching him die over and over? I mean I love the KZread version, the condensed version, that gets right to the point. But watching these same levels for hours straight... oof

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 Arcus has a great chat community. People talk to each other help each other out, and just act like good people to each other there. It's a lot of fun. Try it out, and see what you think.

I've been more excited for these runs than any other form of entertainment for the last few months. Watching these times get lower and lower, nipping at the heels of the record which is also improving, this has been insanely fun to watch so far.

Huge congrats my dude. Been following all your runs, so much hype. You’re going to get world record for sure.

Congratulations Arcus! You’ve worked really hard on this grind and you deserve the sub-10.

Awesome Arcus, the best was watching how happy you were about this great achievement, it's not often we get to see you lose your cool like that. Well deserved, relish in your accomplishment you worked hard for it.

Love seeing you so happy! Your the best!!!! It feels like when I was a kid sitting with my brother playing and me watching contently the entire time. Thanks for the nostalgia

I find myself randomly saying “aaaaaand clunk” all the time for years….”where’s my churro” is now a normal part of my repertoire too

Doo be doo, yes we do!

Your dedication to your craft is simply astonishing. As a child that loved these games. Knowing how hard it was. Watching you do this i just cant believe it plus youre so humble about it.

Congrats Arcus!

Watching the twitch stream as this was happening LIVE was an absolute thrill! Well done again, Arcus! Cheers!

Congrats! What took me almost a year as a kid, you got done in under 10 minutes! Good game and congratulations!

I'm proud of Arcus' accomplishment, but at the same time I really want him to keep going so that he can get the world record (he's so close!). Arcus is such an amazing speedrunner and I truly believe he has what it takes to get the world record in this game. At any rate, congratulations Arcus and also I wish you the very best with your future speedruns!

Love it. You can tell it was on when Arcus went completely silent. So happy for you, it was a tough grind indeed. Cheers.

Congrats, Arcus. I only watch via KZread, but you're one of my favorite runners.

Congrats on holding the 2nd best Speedrun world record! Definitely well deserved and something to be proud of. GG!

Holy crap sub 10. Many congratulations. 🍾🎉🎊🎈

If that isn’t one of the most wholesome things, idk what is. Absolute legend, this guy. Congrats!

Congrats Arcus - legend with NG, so fun to watch!

Amazing run Arcus!!! Way to get that sub-10!!!!!!!!!

You're my favorite speed runner. I love how chill you are. And how you hum along and make your own lyrics as you go makes it feel calm and soothing. haha.

Congratulations!! I’ve been checking in over the past few months to see your prog on this game. I’m so happy for you! 😊😊😊

Arcus you're almost there!!!! Wish you the best with the WR chase!!

Legendary man! There's no system like the NES. The games where so cool and immersive Love the Ninja Gaiden series.

Was awesome to catch it live and a treat of a rewatch! My favorite Arcus PB and one of my favorite speedruns ever. GG!

Never get tired of your Ninja gameplays!!! You're a NES Hero!

Finally! Last time I was on this channel you only had like 2.5K subs. 69K and rising is more like it. I knew you would get the glory that is yours for the taking Arcus. You are a legend within the gaming sphere!

Nice going dude! It's been a wild ride.

I've been following this grind throughout most of the year. What a journey! Your patience and determination is truly inspiring, Arcus.

Incredibly GG Arcus!! Been watching your runs for a few months go from 10:07 to 10:04 to 9:59!!! Go pet Jojo, what a good boy Arcus!

Congrats Arcus!!! Can feel the excitement!

Love how the run in it's entirety is almost as long as the ending credits. Grats Arcus!

after watching you grind on twitch for months. was super happy u finally did it on stream. congrats

This is pretty incredible. I remember playing this game for the first time at the Nintendo World Championships, 1990. I sucked then and I suck now.

WOAH! Congratulations, Arcus!! :D

I've been keeping an eye on this, seeing you inch your way to this. I'm happy for you man. Congratulations. Love to his Twich followers, too. We see this distilled on KZread, but you're all supporting him in the grind.

What's crazy is he was inching, inching, inching...then skipped like 3+ seconds all at once suddenly

Big Big congrats Arcus !! Well deserved ! Awesome run ! (Bednak)

So awesome bro! Congrats on that achievement 👏. Been loving the journey 🤜🤛

Love how excited Arcus got. Love this dude.

That one knockback was potentially enough to miss out on a 9:58. Still amazing run of an amazing game. Well done.

Legendary. Love your stream!

What a wild ride! Great job, Arcus. You fought with inspiration.

I had "do be do yes we do" stuck in my head for a few weeks. I finally forgot about it, then this happens. I'm back fellas

Chasing that world record I see. Good stuff.

GG! 🤠 🔥 Way to go, Arcus! so awesome!!

What a good run, Arcus.

“I’m getting nervous” Me: Oh dear bob it’s all about to come crumbling down eh? 😂

I am proud of Arcus. Thanks for the streams.

Wow such a big accomplishment man. Your oldest video on your channel is you speedrunning this game, years and years ago. I can only imagine all the work needed to get that time. Huge congrats ... Must have felt weird when you finally got it.

Every time I remember an old game there are 2 things I can always count on. James and Mike Mondays has played it and Arcus has beaten it faster than I ever thought possible.

Oh. It's all coming together. Congrats Arcus.

The best part of this is how happy you are.

GG’s Arcus! Congratulations on this amazing achievement.

Grats, man. Very cool. :)

Oh my God that was a siiiiick run! That was seriously God-like. I've watched alot of your runs and this one is definitely one of the most impressive ones. All of your stuff is great, but this one....I'm out of words. Phenomenal!

The grind! So happy for you Arcus!

YOOOOOOO!!!!!!! CONGRATS MY GUY!

Amazing accomplishment! So glad to have watched this live :)

I've never seen Arc act like that as he did at the end of the run. It was heart warming

always felt these games were secretly built for running and stabbing as fast as possible. amazing stuff thanks for the little hints and tricks you taught us!

Than you so much for sharing this. So happy to see the sub 10! congrats Arcus!

Watching Arcus score a PB is like watching a prime Michael Phelps hit the water.

It happened!! Huge congrats man. My best time in this game is a 10:45 so I know how insane sub 10 is!!

Congrats Arcus! What a run!

Your voice is simultaneously weird and yet very pleasant and soothing. I really enjoyed watching you work and listening to your commentary.

Congrats man. I watched you several times during the grind and I'm sad I missed the sub 10 run. GG!

Congrats mate.

Never realized til now how the fallen towers/spires of Ch 10 in NG2 were inspired from 6-1 of this game.

lots of congratulations from the whole community that follows you from Italy you are the best👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹it was a pleasure to follow you on this journey👋👋👋

Best Streamer around without a hot tub!

Congrats! That castle sure does take a long time to collapse.

Without the 1 knock back, would've been a 958. You got this!

Congrats! Great run!

Congratulations! What a great run!

What a good boy Arcus !

His excitement is so contagious. I find myself using his idioms when I play now. "Jumpin and a boomin"

I heard the hardest Nintendo controller snaps from the end of that run.

Well done.

A game a played all my childhood. The whole time I was rooting you on!!@@@ you are a hero. A legend among us normal people. I said it once, say it again you are a legend!

You've got a great radio voice. It's funny how relaxed you are through the first half of the run

Thank you for sharing! Such a great run.

Amazing, you’re the man Arcus!

Awww yay! So happy for you arcus !! Congratulations Wooo!!!

I realize speed runs are a niche product, but Arcus is one of the most likable personalities on any social media outlet. That subscriber number saddens me when I see the numbers on so many untalented hacks (at least KZread is not his primary source for income on these, but still, gotta love this guy).

congrats arcus! well deserved

Way to go Arcus. Congrats on the sub-10 run. Any chance you go for the WR? Even if you don't, I'm so happy for you.
