The deft skill required to defeat the Ryu’s maiden outing in Ninja Gaiden (Tecmo, 1988) just keeps on enticing speed-runners keep coming back for more. The fastest time yet recorded belongs to the USA’s “Arcus”, who took just 11 minutes and 38 seconds to tear through the game, as verified by Speedrun.com on 13 June 2018. All the more impressive give Ninja Gaiden’s notoriously punishing Stage 6-2 that includes some of gaming’s most difficult platforming sections.
