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

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

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

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

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.

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

🎶🎵Mountain Dew and a churro🎵🎶

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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? 😂

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

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.

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

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

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! 😊😊😊

Chasing that world record I see. Good stuff.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love how excited Arcus got. Love this dude.

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

Best Streamer around without a hot tub!

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

What a good run, Arcus.

Congrats 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!

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

Congrats Arcus!!! Can feel the excitement!

Legendary. Love your stream!

The grind! So happy for you Arcus!

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

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

I am proud of Arcus. Thanks for the streams.

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

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

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

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

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

WOAH! Congratulations, Arcus!! :D

Congrats! Great run!

Thank you for sharing! Such a great run.

GG’s Arcus! Congratulations on this amazing achievement.

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!

Congratulations! What a great run!

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

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

Grats, man. Very cool. :)

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

Congrats Arcus! What a run!

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.

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.

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

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

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👋👋👋

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

Well done.

Congrats mate.

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.

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

I never see you laugh with happiness before

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

Amazing, you’re the man Arcus!

congrats arcus! well deserved

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

Another one from the legend! Nice work

Recien voy viendo tus videos y estan geniales, un saludo desde Monterrey Nuevo Leon México

GG Legend! Cheers from Brazil. Keep grinding!

DOO BEE DOO, yes we do! This one could be the theme song of this channel 😂

What a good boy Arcus !

We're getting LOTS of wah-wahs
