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

This cowboy just might be the best ninja of all time

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

This is Jorf's favorite run.

“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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

The best part of this is how happy you are.

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

Chasing that world record I see. Good stuff.

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

🎶🎵Mountain Dew and a churro🎵🎶

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

Best Streamer around without a hot tub!

“Reset…smash…mash…mash…klunk” - Arcus 🤠 👢

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

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

Your reaction when you realize you got a sub 10 is everything!!!!!! 💕

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

Congrats Arcus!

Well done.

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.

Great to see you that happy. I don't really know what kind of person can dislike this video.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grats, man. Very cool. :)

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

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

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

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

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!

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!

Love how excited Arcus got. Love this dude.

What a good run, Arcus.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Congrats mate.

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'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!

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! 😊😊😊

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

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

Congratulations! What a great run!

Legendary. Love your stream!

GG’s Arcus! Congratulations on this amazing achievement.

Congrats Arcus! What a run!

Love the excitement and the tension when he said he was nervous. What a run.

Thank you for sharing! Such a great run.

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

I am proud of Arcus. Thanks for the streams.

The grind! So happy for you Arcus!

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.

Congrats Arcus!!! Can feel the excitement!

I never see you laugh with happiness before

“Just. Just! JUSSSTT!” Amazing! Congratulations!

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

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

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

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

You're a beast!

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

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 KZfaq, but you're all supporting him in the grind.

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!

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

Congrats! Great run!

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

Amazing, you’re the man Arcus!

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

Another one from the legend! Nice work

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

What a good boy Arcus !

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!

27,600 attempts! That level of dedication is inspiring!

Congratulations, Arcus!

congrats arcus! well deserved

What an achievement - he could absolutely break the WR
